Android :: Playing Catch Up
Jan 11, 2010
I was in my jeep the other day when I heard a ad for some song and a itagging...That got me thinking. Now before the fanboy name calling starts, this is not a comparison to iPhone. I have never owned one, nor shall I ever. I think for the android based phone to compete more with the whole iphone market, I think we need to develop our own brand of iTagging, our own brand of iPhone docks, and our own version of iTunes. I understand that the iPhone has been out for a long time and has had the media market to back it up. Heres the thing. There are way more versions of android based phones that there will be of iPhones. I know that there are a lot of variations of the phones, but its nothing adapters cant fix for the docks. as for the itagging, and the itunes apps, its nothing a dev cant handle. I am not a Dev, nor am I a manufacturer, but Im sure some of us can find a friend of a friend who knows this guy that lives down the street to help out our cause...

I'm writing an app dealing with JPEG pictures. The main Activity let the user slide between a set of pictures, but if these pictures are too large (imagine a set of pictures taken with a 12Mpix camera, not resized), the pre-loading of the second picture throws an OutOfMemoryException that leads to an immediate app VM shutdown whereas I surrounded my calls to BitmapFactory.decodeXXX() whit a try/ catch(Exception). So, the user gets an error message making him think the app is unstable, and the app didn't have any chance of telling him what really happened. How can I handle this a more "user friendly" way? Can I predict the memory size that will be necessary to load a compressed JPEG picture?

This would be some excellent support for the faithful Android developers. I have eight apps but live in Canada so I haven't been permitted to post them on the Market yet. Still I'm hoping Google might take this into account for Canadian developers who can't yet meet the sales criteria. I applied anyway and hope Google will respond so I can begin mobile testing.

i need to start a background deamon not just when an application need to bind with, i have searched a way to auto-start it. One interesting reply was given in this maillist and i wanna more explanation on the way to catch BOOT_COMPLETED_ACTION from an IntentReceiver? The previous thread that i have found on this maillist was this one:
" Use an IntentReceiver and catch the BOOT_COMPLETED_ACTION. Then in the IntentReceiver call Context.startService() (but use carefully, only when you really need a background service to run all the time). "

I have five screen in my application. While in performing one action in fifth screen I encountered with Stop Application message. On which, I am getting 3 times "Stop Application" msg box, which covers 3 previous screen and comes back to the first screen. I understand I must have encountered with Error may be IndexOutOfBoundException which I have not addressed it in my code. I was wondering why it asks for extra 3 times "Stop Application" system message. It is fine to display an "Stop Application" system message if I encountered an error in any screen it should stop that particular screen and should come to the next screen on. How can I trap/catch such incidents not to occur in the consecutive screen. If the above description is not clear at any place please let me know that I be more clear to you.

How can I catch a phone keypress with the android SDK? I've been looking around for hours without finding anything.For example:
In some cases, I want to catch the message when a user presses the "hang up" button on the phone, and then discard the message before it reaches the OS.

Does anybody know how to catch the map zoom in/out event for Android 1.5?Before Android 1.5, I can use ZoomControls which has a setOnZoomInClickListener(). In order to get zoom controls, I can write like this:ZoomControls mZoom = (ZoomControls) mMapView. getZoom Controls(); But, since 1.5, the mMapView.getZoomControls() is deprecated. Instead of this, the documentation suggests using mMapView.setBuiltInZoomControls.Since 1.6, I can use ZoomButtonsController, which has a set OnZoomListener(). In order to get zoom button controls, I can write like this:ZoomButtonsController mZoom = (ZoomButtonsController) mMapView.getZoomButtonsController().setOnZoomListener(this);So, how can I get map zoom in/out event without using mMapView.getZoomControls() for Android 1.5 ?

I'm clearly a newb, and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can detect a "ring" event on my cellphone through the android sdk? Generally I want to do something with the phone when it begins ringing! Any thoughts? If you want to simply point me to a page in the api documents that would be a good answer for me, I just don't know how to start my research!

Is there any way to catch crashes in my own android app? Something like a global uncaught exception handler? Just wondering if I could install something like that, then if an uncaught exception is thrown, I could pop up a dialog for the user and ask if they want to mail a dump of the exception to me.

I'm getting this error: "Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception java.lang.VerifyError" It's only happening on 1.6. Android 2.0 and up doesn't have any problems, but that's the main point of all. Can't catch the Error/Exception (VerifyError), and I know it's being caused by calling isInitialStickyBroadcast() which is not available in SDK 4, that's why it's wrapped in the SDK check. I just need this BroadcastReceiver to work on 2.0+ and not break in 1.6, it's an app in the market, the UNDOCK feature is needed for users on 2.0+ but obviously not in 1.6 but there is a fairly amount of users still on 1.6.
private BroadcastReceiver mUndockedReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
//FROM ECLAIR FORWARD, BEFORE DONUT THIS INTENT WAS NOT IMPLEMENTED
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 5)
{
if (!isInitialStickyBroadcast()) {
int dockState = intent.getExtras().getInt("android.intent.extra.DOCK_STATE", 1);
if (dockState == 0)
{
finish();
}
}
}
}
};

I am trying to catch the intent that is fired when someone clicks on a hyperlink to a web page in the MMS browser. I have this in the manifest:
</intent-filter> <intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="http" /> </intent-filter>
However, when I click on http://www.ibm.com it only launches Browser. Same when I do
$ am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d http://www.ibm.com
in an adb shell.

I am trying to catch when the user has pressed the Home button. I thought I could use
protected void onResume()
{
registerReceiver(homeReceiver, new IntentFilter(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME));
}
...
private BroadcastReceiver homeReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
// logic here
}
};
but that doesn't seem to work. I understand that onPause will be called, but my particular app has some logic that I need to handle separately. Short story is based on some info coming in, the app will display new Activities to the user. To prevent Back button issues, as each Activity hits it's onStop it calls finish on itself. However if the user presses the Home button I do not want the Activity to call finish so that when the user presses the app icon on the home screen or via the Recently run apps list, the last Activity is brought back

I want to be able to control incoming text messages. My application is still on a "proof of concept" version and I'm trying to learn Android programming as I go. First my application need to catch incomming text messages. And if the message is from a known number then deal with it. If not, then send the message as nothing has happened to the default text message application. I have no doubt it can be done, but I still have some concern and I see some pitfalls at how things are done on Android. So getting the incomming text message could be fairly easy - except when there are other messaging applications installed and maybe the user wants to have normal text messages to pop up on one of them - and it will, after my application has had a look at it first. How to be sure my application get first pick of incomming text messages? And after that I need to send most text messages through to any other text message application the user has chosen so the user can actually read the message my application didn't need.

As the title says, i have a Spinner with just a couple of options and a button. I didnt declared any Listener for the spinner, instead of that, what i want is use the button and perform different actions depending on the spinner selected option.
So, i declared a handler in the button option "android:onClick", but once there, i dont know how to access the option selected in the Spinner.
