It seems like there should be an easy fix (change a setting or something) for this, but I can't seem to find it and it's driving me nuts.
Whenever I use Google Navigation, the screen times out after a minute (just like any other time I'm using my phone). But, doesn't it seem like the screen should not shut off EVER while using Nav?

at the moment I am thinking about a new app and need some information to decide whether to develop on Android or an alternative OS. I am particularly interested in "time to first screen", "boot-up time", "time to first Audio" and "app-start" (can be any from the android market or even one of the pre-installed ones) time? Does anyone know a source or perhaps measured those numbers?

Every time I go on the market, browser, check my email, or send a text, Sprint Navigation is shown running in all of my 3rd party app managers. I have task killer so I can kill it as I please, however I would like to completely prevent it from starting up when i'm not even using it. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

Since the updates, it is taking ages to calculate route, so long in fact that I exit the programme and start again, and then I just give up and dig out my atlas.

MotoDroid 2.2. Since 2.2, the auto-rotate screen goes haywire from time to time. I normally use the vertical format, easier to type, but when it switches, not much screen left, and I have to go back and back to start over again.

Surley this is not meant to happen on a NAVIGATION application where you would expect the screen to stay active all the time! how can i prevent this from happening?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI fight with me for some days about asking this question.
Its pretty plain and simple:
If you have an application with a GUI totally working on 2D drawing, what should be the best practice to handle what to draw and where to touch?!
Some example for better understanding:
I have a game with a map. On this map I can build houses and stuff.
I also have a information bar which can be extended. On the extended bar I draw some information about the game and also enables to change different values. If a touch occurs, I have to check, if the information bar is extended or not to determine if I want to change something on the map or something on the bar.
Thats done by the State Pattern, but I have some doubt if thats the right one because I think it can be a bit complex because of possible "sub-states".
So basically the question: Is the State Pattern (from GoF) the best practice to handle a pure graphical GUI?
So I was planning on writing a Chess-based mini game as part of a project. I was working on my pitch when I realized that I had to represent 64 clickable squares on a screen of that size. I found a couple of ways around it. Like letting them choose a row number from 1-8 and a column number from A-H OR providing them with four arrow keys to navigate across the screen. But it just takes the fun and intensity out of the game.

However, there is no content to be shown as everything fits the screen size. Does anyone know how can I avoid this behavior? I mean, if all content is being show, how can I disable horizontal navigation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to change when these 3 things happen separately? Can I make it so my screen fades earlier but still takes just as long to go completely black? Is there a way to extend the time between total blackout and locking? Is there a way to turn off auto screen lock all together but keep the auto fade out and auto black out? I am always able to remember to manually lock the screen and the auto lock is annoying but I still like the power saving of the screen fade and black out.

In my android app, I need to design a Welcome Screen which will be shown to the user only once after the app is installed and opened. The app in question is a database driven app and I would love to include some 3 - 4 screens to help the user create re-usable resources for use within the app and a few tips. They would be Dialog Alerts with the last welcome screen showing the "Do Not Show Again" checkbox. how to show the welcome screen just once.

I need to make a video as a DEMO for one application I have developed. I know that there are some experimental applications that use DDMS and achieve a framerate of 5-6 fps. This framerate is completely insufficient for my purposes since the application has smooth animations that i would like to show. Is there anyone that has found a way to do a real time screen capture on android? Should I settle for a capture of the emulator or a real video done with a real camera?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new here and I came from Symbian and Linux, for all the phones I've used there are at least one application for screen capture and one for time clock synchronization, both are very useful and basic task we will do with a smartphone, but on the Android I found none that can work without a 'rooted' phone. I don't know how other phones do it, but I know the reason for a 'rooted' phone is to be able to access the framebuffer for screen capture for example and this may be risky, I suppose it is simply a sub-routine call to the BIOS will do without the need for a complete 'open access' system. I know there is a way to capture the screen without a rooted phone, but the phone must be connected to a PC and I feel this is dumb and inconvenient, I may be completely wrong about Android, please fill me in.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've implemented a Service in my android app that starts a timer (using the standard java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask mechanism) to do some processing in the background on a pre-defined interval.
CODE:...
The service is started / stopped by my application like this.
CODE:..........................
As long as the phone is active (no screen-timeout occured), the service is running fine, and the Timer is performing its job at the defined interval. Even when I quit the application (using the back button), the timer remains active.
However, as soon as the phone goes into timeout, the timer task is no longer running stable. If I leave the phone in timeout for several hours (at night), I would see that on random occasions (sometimes a several hours interval) the timer kicked in.
Also, when the phone is activated again, all timer runs that have been queued are suddenly executed in one shot before resuming back to the normal interval.
What would be the right way of implementing a timer that continues to run properly, even after the phone has gone into timeout. Should I resort to using the PowerManager and WAKE_LOCKS (as described here http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html), or is there another mechanism ?
I need to do an internet access to update a field on my UI. I do the internet access in a background thread by extending AsyncTask.
Since I need to update my UI every time the screen is refreshed I am executing the AsyncTask in my onResume method. code...
I dismiss the REFRESH_DIALOG dialog in the onPostExecute() method in the AsyncTask.
For testing I rotate the screen to landscape. Things work well. The problem is when I try to rotate again to portrait. I get 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no dialog with id 1 was ever shown ...'. id 1 is for the REFRESH_DIALOG.
How do I get rid of this error? Is there a better way to do an Internet access to update my UI every time the screen is refreshed?
