Android :: SDK >= 1.6 Requires Glibc >= 2.4 While Execute
Nov 3, 2009
I've been doing Android application development for Android 1.5 on Debian etch (4.0), and things were going okay. I then tried upgrading the SDK to support more recent platforms. The problem is that the vast majority of the tools that are executables (I'm not counting shell scripts) seem to now depend on glibc >= 2.4. When trying to execute them, or passing them to ldd, I get an error like:
./aapt: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./aapt)
On Debian, the file /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 is provided by the libc6-i686 package, which on etch is version 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7, but on lenny I see that the version has increased to 2.7-18.
I can think of a few workarounds: - Copy the required libraries from a supported platform and point to them with LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using the affected executables. - Download the sources for the tools (e.g. http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=tree;...) and build my own local versions for Debian etch. - Give up using Debian etch and switch to another platform.
All of these are potentially viable alternatives for me, so this isn't a show stopper, and indeed http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html says that it's only tested for GNU/Linux on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, which uses version 2.7-10ubuntu5. Nevertheless, it's somewhat annoying, and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts, or if the Android team even knows of the issue. I'm guessing that sometime in the transition from 1.5 to 1.6, they switched from an earlier Ubuntu version (I have to go back to Dapper, which uses 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5, to find a pre-2.4 version) to Hardy, and this was just a side effect. But I'd be surprised if there was anything specific in the source that really required libc 2.4, and it's possible that if they were just building with an appropriate compiler flag that backwards compatibility could be maintained.
This affects all platform-specific tools for platforms >= android-1.6 (so aapt, aidl, and dexdump), and it affects all platform-agnostic tools (except for hprof-conf and mksdcard; so adb, dmtracedump, emulator, sqlite3, and zipalign) installed with the new modular sdk download (android-sdk_r3-linux.tgz) available starting in the android 1.6 timeframe (the corresponding tools from the android 1.5 timeframe in the monolithic SDK download of android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3.zip work fine).

I was wondering if it is possible to build/compile the Android OS against embedded glibc instead of bionic?
Has it been done?
What would some forseeable problems be, as in, would much Android code need to be modified to utilize glibc properly , and would existing proprietary firmware bug out if glibc was inplace instead of bionic?

I have a question about a simple application, the only permission that i have set is Internet, because it's a simple application that reads something on the net. Anyway, the app requires to me (when i install it) three permissions, Internet, SD Storage and Phone usage.
Anyone knows why happens this?

I am trying to port my usage meter from a JavaScript Gadget (win) / Widget (OSX) to Android. Total newbie when comes to JAVA + Eclipse + Android 2.1 SDK. Essentially what I want to do is load a page, pass through a username and password and load the resulting page into a array that I can then run some regular expressions through.
My code from JavaScript (I've replace the actual URL with a dummy one) is:
xmlhttp.open("post","https://acme.com.au/your_account/index.php?function=login",false);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", "Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send("check_username=" + username + "&password=" + password);
I need to know the Android equivalent to the above please. I've played around with WebView but that loads the page in a web browser which isn't what I want.

I'm working on an app for a client that requires streaming of an AAC audio stream. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about the stream format on the server. I'm working on Android and have discovered that Android's media player does not support raw AAC streams (which is what I'm getting). I found a project on Google Code that supports it (I tested it with the stream) but it's GPL'ed and that doesn't work for my client. I don't have much experience with this sort of thing so forgive me if my ideas aren't great. I know Android can play AAC encoded content if it is in an MP4 wrapper so I had thought about creating an MP4 wrapper on the fly on the client-side or perhaps even just doing some conversion to another format on the fly. Are these reasonable options? Does anybody have better suggestions?
Edit To rephrase, is it possible to put a raw AAC stream from a web server in an MP4 container in real time? If so, does anybody know of resources to help me with the process?

My old development process allowed me to make any change in the java code and use eclipse's Run button to install the updated package to the emulator.
Now I get [2009-12-15 11:51:55 - Scoopful]Application already deployed. No need to reinstall. even though the code has changed.
I realize the manifest version Code is used to determine if the app has changed and it works fine if I bump up that number. This did not used to be necessary and it slows down development when I have to enter AndroidManifest and make a change with every deploy to the emulator. Is there a way around this?

I have a main activity class that launches a couple of my subordinate activities from a tabHost.
Periodically (actually when I receive an incoming message on a socket), I want to inform the subordinate activities that application state has changed so that they can refresh their views.
In Swing I could wire this together using something like a PropertyChangeListener. As far as I can see, the Android design philosophy requires creating an Intent and broadcasting to (as far as I can tell all) other activities that are running.
This strikes me as overkill considering that I'm only trying to notify my own views of a model change. Am I missing something?

I'm trying to create class with generics that will have ability to serialize its state using Parcelable interface.
The problem is that class has to contain constructor with single parameter - Parcel, but in my case I need to create class with additional parameters.
Besides, Parcelable.Creator doesn't allow to use generics.
Here is an example:
public class Sample<T> { ...
public Sample(Context ctx, SomeInterface iface, Parcel parcel) {...}
...}
What is the best practice to do it?

I do a ((Context)thingy).bindService(...) from within the onCreate callback of an Activity. I've observed that the onServiceConnected() callback of my associated Service Connection does not execute immediately, but rather, is delayed until after the Activity resumes, or more precisely, after return from the onResume() callback of the Activity. I discovered this the hard way (through a null pointer exception) because I was unable to use the Service (I call a method in the Service to start a Thread) immediately upon return from the bindService () call.
I assume this is normal behavior, but I don't understand why, and I further assume that there is a good reason for it and that I would benefit from understanding it. I'm guessing that maybe the Service isn't eligible to run because there are fewer than 1 processes bound that are in an active state.(?) But once it starts, if I then start the Thread within, it continues to completion of its task, even if the Activity calls unbindService() and terminates first! I don't mind that behavior (it's what I want to happen), but I want to know whether I can generally rely on it. I'm seeking some wisdom from the forum. Please help me clear my fog on all these points.

I would like to execute opcodes directly against the running Dalvik VM instance from within my application on Android. I'm looking for something similar to the C asm function. I have a list of opcodes for dalvik, but I am unfamiliar with how to either execute them directly, or write them out to .class files and execute them against some sort of VM CLI command like dalvikvm from within a running application.

So basically I would like my app to read info from a database, this info would be a string that is valid java code. Once read, I would like my app to execute this string as if it were code. Is there any functionality packaged with the android sdk that supports this?
Essentially I want the phone to populate some data with information queried from a database. One of these pieces of information would be a statement like: "return data.ZombieKillTotal >= 100000;"
Which would be used inside a statement like:
CODE:......
I just don't know what to use for 'ExecStringAsCode':

I need to customize the launcher application. I built it from the android source, and installed it to the emulator successfully(By renaming its package name to solve signing conflicts). When I tried to run my build, an exception occurred, and I can't find where it actually from because it seems to be from an internal thread.After an whole day trying, I found that the exception is thrown by the line in Launcher.java possibly: setContentView(R.layout.launcher)Does anyone have any suggestion?

DataOutputStream stdin = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
String cmd = "echo "1" /sys/manager0/enable";
stdin.writeBytes(cmd+"

There is no error and app executed perfectly but there is no change in the /sys/manager0/enable

I will try to modify native Camera package in Eclipse. So, I make Camera project in Eclipse and try to compile it. But, "Platform Eclair is a preview and requires application manifests to set minSdkVersion to 'Eclair'" error message is shown. Does it mean minSdkVersion information should be inclused in Camera manifests.xml file as "Eclair"? If there are anyone know this, please share your valuable information.

I would like to know how to execute code before exiting application. My application is composed of several activities. When the user starts the application (from the launcher menu or from a notification in the status bar), he goes in an InitActivity where I process some initializations. From user experience, application always restarts. One of these initializations is to init a network manager and start a thread that periodically sends a network request to notify a server that application is active.
I need to process some end operations, like stopping this thread when user quits application, for example by pressing the HOME key or BACK key when he's in the root activity. However, when the user press the HOME key, application is still running in background.
Q1 : is it possible to execute code when exiting application (I see the onTerminate() method of the class Application but it seems not to be always called)?
Q2 : Is it possible to force application exit (activity method finish () only destroy the current activity, not the application)?
Q3 : Is it possible to handle HOME key press (onKeyDown() is not called when this button is pushed)?

I have a problem with my application. During the execution of it, I have some buttons which execute other activities when I click on them. The way I am realising it is:
private OnClickListener scaleImage = new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(main.this, Scale.class); startActivity(intent);
update(); }
};

I'm working on a G1 rooted. I have to implement program that execute "Root Explorer". I have write this code:
Process p;
try { p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
// OK DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes("echo "HELLO!!!!!!!!" >/system/test.txt");
os.writeBytes("exit"); os.flush();
// ERROR File dir = new File("/data"); String [] list = dir.list();
Log.v("TEST]", String.valueOf(list.length));
try { p.waitFor(); int exit = p.exitValue();
if (exit != 255) { Log.v("TEST]", "ok");
} else { Log.v("TEST]", "Error");
} } catch (Exception e) { Log.v("TEST]",e.getMessage());
} } catch (Exception e) { Log.v("TEST]",e.getMessage());
}
I use Superuser.apk for execute "su" command. My program write file test.txt in /system but statement Log.v("TEST]", String.valueOf(list.length)); return value 0.
