1.application title-bar using ImageView(or TextView) positions to top
2. remove ContextMenu, alternativly static menu buttons positon to bottom.
3. PreferenceActivity is able to scroll and title-bar & menu buttons are fixed each positions.
just all. but It's very difficult to add & fix two views in Preference Activity.
I've started developing an OpenGL ES app and I would like to get the best possible performace (as everybody, I guess).
As far as I know, HTC Magic (myTouch, G2) doesn't have floating point unit, so I think every calculation is done internally with fixed point math. That beign the case, altough I fed OpenGL with floating point vertex positions and normals, there would not be any permormace penalty since it would be using integer math instead of floating point emulation.
OpenGL ES allows values to be specified in either fixed point or floating point format, but I haven't been able to find any information about how this is actually implemented on Android devices. Are there actually two different pipelines, one for fixed point and one for floating point? If so, what happens if you mix and match them, such as specifying your matrix in floating point but your vertices in fixed point? Alternatively, does it implement everything with just one format internally, and convert the other format to it as necessary? If so, then you presumably get the best performance if you always specify values in the internal format so as to avoid conversions. How then can I determine which format is used internally?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI apologize for posting this but I've been looking for an answer to this question for a while. I posted this in someone elses thread but I figured this deserved it's own post since it's pretty much a deal breaker for me. Hopefully someone has the answer for me. Thanks in advance. "I've been looking for a reliable messaging app since I got my incredible, but I always stuck with the stock sms. The reason being is one HUGE glitch scared me away from handcent. the glitch where it would randomly send a text message to the wrong person from your contact list and pretty much pick a random contact to send the sms to. I can't really have that happen since I use my phone as my work phone and personal phone. It would be a VERY bad situation if a text message I was sending my girlfriend was randomly sent to someone from work or a customer. I've seen people posting about this glitch earlier this year but I've never seen anyone confirm whether it not the glitch has been fixed or still exists? It's not something I want to risk. I guess my reason for posting this is I am very curious to find out if that glitch has been fixed. I would LOVE to use hand cent or chomp but I would like some confirmation as to whether or not that glitch is no more. Can anyone confirm this?"

I already created a menu for the bottom, but I couldn't find anything to create a fixed visible menu on top (a bar menu). Am I missing something? How can I do it?
I am using following code to display button at the bottom of activity.
CODE:.............
And listview above it. when i display more data in listview this button pannel is moved down. how can i fix it at the bottom of activity?
I recently experienced the cyclic - and somewhat random: "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" problem and googling it mostly came up with nothing and in a few cases "fixed it by wiping the phone". I found that unsatisfactory, so I decided to dig deeper. To me it was pretty clear that this was sync related - turning off Contacts sync stopped it from happening. Turning it back on will trigger the problem within a few seconds. So it would seem that something in my G1 Contact database will not transfer to Gmail's Contact database. Sadly I could not find any useful trace, but at least I knew roughly when it had happened.
By comparing what I could see in the database and what actually was visible in the Contact Editor I tracked it down to that I had some Contact Postal Addresses that had a TYPE with a value > 3. In the editor these will still show up as "HOME" ("Other" would have been more appropriate IMHO). If I fiddle this to some other value and save the contact again the problem disappears. In my opinion it would make sense for the acore sync process to handle incorrect values by replacing them with HOME/OTHER instead of crashing. I have not dug into the source, but I would think it would be a trivial fix. I suspect there might be several similar cases where a default fallback would make more sense than to crash the sync. In retrospect I also know how this happened to me: I optimistically used the Phone label to produce a Postal Address label - it never occurred to me that they could be different.
Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1);
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 23);
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 22);
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
// We want the alarm to go off 30 seconds from now.
long firstTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
firstTime += 30*1000;
long a=c.getTimeInMillis();
// Schedule the alarm!
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)ctx.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
c.getTimeInMillis(), 1*60*60*1000, sender);
It is not executed at 23:22h. What I am doing wrong? I noticed firstTime and c.getTimeInMillis() differs a lot in size and length. When I use firstTime, so when set to 30 seconds, the alarm is executed well.
I'm trying to decide on whether to primarily use floats or ints for all 3D-related elements in my app (which is C++ for the most part). I understand that most ARM-based devices have no hardware floating point support, so I figure that any heavy lifting with floats would be noticeably slower. However, I'm planning to prep all data for the most part (i.e. have vertex buffers where applicable and transform using matrices that don't change a lot), so I'm just stuffing data down OpenGL's throat. Can I assume that this goes more or less straight to the GPU and will as such be reasonably fast? (Btw, the minimum requirement is OpenGL ES 2.0, so that presumably excludes older 1.x-based phones.)Also - how is the penalty when I mix and match ints and floats? Assuming that all my geometry is just pre-built float buffers, but I use ints for matrices since those do require expensive operations like matrix multiplications, how much wrath will I incur here. By the way, I know that I should keep my expectations low (sounds like even asking for floats on the CPU is asking for too much), but is there anything remotely like 128-bit VMX registers?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a service which runs in the background when the user starts using my app. I am using it to do some posts to our server. I always close my service by calling stopSelf as soon as the posts have been made or failed.
But I recently observed two times that my service did not stop. I saw that in the running services in settings on my device that it has been sitting there for over a few hours.
So I was trying to see if I can alternatively set a timer using which I can force the service to stop after a few minutes no matter what.
how can I get my fixed width site to always appear "fully zoomed in" on webkit (iphone and android) browsers? right now, it looks fine on an iPhone and "too small/zoomed out" on an Android phones that have higher resolution.i'm trying this viewport: <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=yes, width=device-width, target-densityDpi=device-dpi, initial-scale=1.0" />
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd really like to know what the state of that fix is as 2.1 is rolled out onto first generation (MSM7200-based) devices. As it stands, I don't see much of a problem with touch eating up CPU on the Droid and N1 but those are much faster phones so I don't think it would be quite as pronounced on them. My current 1.6 devices (G1 and Tattoo) cut my framerates in half during any touch (with the sleep hack, even). I optimized my new games so that they would run well-enough (25-40fps) on that hardware but they have very touch-centric interfaces so won't work well with that bug. I talked to a few people who run 2.0/2.1 mods on their G1s and they said the problem isn't any better. They still see the big slowdown. I tested on my 1.6 emulator vs a 2.1 emulator and there is a huge improvement. The 1.6 emulator slows down just like my G1 does and the 2.1 emulator shows only a tiny bit of slowdown, which is what I was hoping for. That's encouraging, but I have yet to see a real 2.1 MSM7200 update in the field so I don't know what to think yet.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an EVO on order with Amazon (early Oct delivery - ouch!), hoping to get one locally before then but at least I have a backup plan. I've been reading a lot about the charger port issues and the screen peeling/separation issues. Does anyone know if these manufacturing defects (assuming that's what they are) have been fixed or do new EVO's still run the risk of having these problems? I've had Verizon and AT&T before and it's always been relatively easy to get a new replacement device if the original had issues. It sounds like it's not as easy on Sprint so I'm a bit concerned...
View 5 Replies View RelatedCan anyone confirm if the dialer has been fixed? I am specifically interested in hearing from people who have re-installed all of their apps/widgets from the original 2.1 leak. I know the phone runs snappier when its been wiped, but most bugs seem to creep in after most apps are restored. My current dialer (original 2.1 leak) is a steaming pile of fail. I know I am not alone!

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo i'm not sure this classifies as a "bug" or "issue" per se, but it is an issue for me. When i'm looking at the calendar and click on the "agenda" view on the bottom left, it only shows me the Agenda List for the current month. There is no way to swipe or scroll to the next month(s). Is this changed in Android 2.1? Or is there a better, free, calendar Widget out there that does this?
