I would like to know why the size of my shared library .so is bigger than my .apk file generated with Eclipse? Approximatly the so size is twice the apk one. What is strange is after having installed it in the device (2.1 firmware) I checked the size of the apk when I uninstalled it from the device and surprisingly the apk size indicated is bigger even than the .so one. Is there any explaination of that?

I want to save all the contacts into shared preferences.Is it possible?

So I'm loading images from a web service, but the size of the images are sometimes smaller or bigger than other images and the visualization looks silly when I put them in a ListView in android. I'd like to fix the size of my ImageView so that it only shows a portion of the image if it's larger than a preset amount. I've tried everything I can think of setting the setMaxWidth/setMaxHeight, setting the scale type to centerCrop, using ClipableDrawable wrapping my BitmapDrawable, setting using Drawable.setBounds(). I've tried setting in the XML and programmatically, but neither worked. I'm very surprised setting max width/height didn't do anything. Below is the XML I'm using ImageView definition in my layout file
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently developing a dictionary application with voice database. I would like to know about the current Android limitation on the file size. I am using a self-provided sqlite database ( > 50mb ) . I tested that once the built .apk size exceeds ~30mb the app will not be installed onto the simulator (INSTALL_FAILED_ INSUFFICIENT _STORAGE). Could anyone confirm me that if up until now there is no way to embed such large size files in a single apk ( Aimed to sell at Google Market without requiring user to download datafile afterwards). Also, is there a limitation of 1,048,576 bytes for a single file in the assets folder ?

I manage a cache of bitmap. Do you have an advise to fix the maximum size of it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan somebody explain to me what makes up the installed application size? I have an apk that is about 8 MB, and often when I install I get the INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error. I have around 25-30 MB free space on the phone. I'm doing debugging so I have to upload lots of new versions. If I uninstall the previous version then I can install the new version. The application manager claims that the app is taking up 22 MB. So back to the original question, how come the app is taking up 22 MB when it really only is 8 MB?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy app downloads .png files to the sd card for later use. I kept getting OutOfMemoryErrors (if anyone could explain this too, that'd be great!) and so I took a look at the sizes of the images saved to the sd card, and they seem to be roughly double what they are on the server. Why is this, and how can I make them smaller?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post. I've had a Moto Droid since day one, and I just love it. It is without a doubt better than any phone that I've had over the years, and that includes the iPhone, BB, etc.
However, there are 2 things that I don't understand - Font size and a spell checker. It is imposiible to read the small font size in emails or text messages.
1. Why has there not been an app to either change the font size or be able to zoom in? Picasy has incorporated multi-touch for zooming, so I've to assume that its doable! Why not have the same in an email client.
2. Why is there not an email client out there that allows for spell checking? There are many such apps for the BB! I am a terrible speller.
I am not complaining, I just want to understand the limitations from a developers prospective, as I am sure these isuues will eventually be addressed.
I have an ImageView which I want to always be the same size. If the image is smaller than the view, I'd like it to be centred in the view. If the Image is larger than the view then I'd like it scaled down - with aspect ratio preserved.I've had several attempts at this myself
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a custom icon bar in Android using the XML layout creator, using a RadioGroup within a LinearLayout (XML included below). Each RadioButton within the RadioGroup has a custom drawable (with checked and unchecked states) as its android:button attribute. The Linear layout is itself within a RelativeLayout so that it can appear at an arbitrary position on the screen (as a side bar, in this instance).The drawables are 55 pixels wide, and the android:layout_width attribute of all these views is "wrap_content".When I make this component visible, aligned to the bottom-left of the screen, only about three-quarters of the RadioButton image widths are visible. Setting the layout_width of the RelativeLayout to "fill_parent" rectifies this and causes the full button to appear.However this means that the button group consumes click events across the entire width of the screen. How can I make the entire button appear, and have only the area of the button respond to clicks? Hard-coding the width of the drawable is not a particularly desirable solution.<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout01" android:layout_width ="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_below ="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:visibility="invisible"><RadioGroup android :id ="@+id/ RadioGroup01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:checkedButton="@+id/RB01" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<RadioButton android:id="@+id/RB01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:button="@drawable/DR01"/><RadioButton android:id="@+id/RB02" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:button="@drawable/DR02"/>

I am developing a library for Android applications which does not use native code (JNI). I have tried suppling the library as an external jar in my Android projects but this method does not include the library contents in the apk and thus throws class not found errors when run in the emulator or device. I have also tried creating the library as an Android project in itself and this does work, but only for public static properties (not methods). With the library and application both being in separate apk's I can see that the VM notices references to the library and can read some properties, but when an attempt to instantiate a class in the library is executed I get class not found even though I can read the public static properties from it.
I realize that Davlik byte code is not the same as Java byte code but I am having trouble even finding good information about how to solve what would seem to be a very simple issue in Android. I am looking into the old PlatformLibrary stuff right now but I am not convinced this will work either since the sample has been removed from the Android site.
I am now writing a java application. On java side I use System.loadLibrary() to load my own native shared library( named a.so ). I want a.so can communicate with another native shared library(named b.so). When a.so and b.so are loaded in the memory, they belonged to 2 different process. I am not familiar with IPC in android and binder mechanism. How can I do to make a.so communicate with b.so?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several apps (each in its own apk, process etc) running at the same time on user's device.
these apps are all linked to a single common jar file (internally devloped) which contains a large portion of their overall code size.
is there a way for me to force Android to make this common jar load only once (e.g. into shared memory)?
the reason we want to do it this way, btw, are to reduction of each of the single apps memory intake, on disk footprint and possibly of their startup time.

we're developing applications that will use a single 'shared library' jar file. the jar file will be packed as part of the operating system (built & packed by us)several trials & errors & manual readings had led us to the conclusion that for our projects (both shared lib & dependent apps) to correctly compiled they must
(a) reside UNDER the mydroid source root and
(b) be compiled with the same java version as mydroid.
both a & b are somewhat inconvenient for us (the latter a bit more). is there a way around them?

I have a cross-platform C library that I need to compile for Android as a *.so file. The library consist of many .c and .h files, and it use autotools as it's buid system. (./configure && make dep && make). Afaik, the library does not depend on other libraries, other than libc and OpenSSL (which should be present on Andriod).
I'm trying to find the simplest (read fastest in terms or not needing to read hundreds of pages of manuals and then apply try && fail brute-force approaches to complete the task) way of getting the library off my machine in source code form, and into the Android phones as a .so. The library will eventually be accessed from Java's native library interface. For development, I have both Windows and Debian machines on my desk.
