Android :: Simultaneous Photography Using Andriod

Jan 28, 2009

I am working on an art project with several other people that involves simultaneity and photography. We want to coordinate a series of events involving simultaneous photographs based on the Android system.

In simple terms, here is what we are proposing. Someone writes an app for Android Phone/Camera that makes the camera take a photograph at a predetermined time so that many thousands of people all take a simultaneous photograph. The art involved here is not only the synchronizing of the event to approximate simultaneity but also making "social networking" into an element of an art project.

Android :: More AsyncTask - Simultaneous Downloads

Sep 10, 2010

Implementing a service to handle connection changes and downloads. The service handles a queue of AsyncTasks, each representing a "download task". This way, we can cancel/pause tasks when connection drops, and also restore them when connection is reestablished. Since the threads AsyncTasks are run are not deterministic, how many ATs should I execute() at the same time?

I've read that I shouldn't reuse tasks. How can I achieve this pause->resume functionality then? Should I tell the thread to sleep? Should I make a no-op while if connection is down? I was trusting the cancel(true) method, which I've read is not reliable either.

My main DownloadTask is a subclass of AsyncTask that returns a new AsyncTask to be called when the connection is restored.

Android :: Handle Simultaneous Key Press

Dec 14, 2009

I was wondering whether Androd can catch simultaneous Key Press. For example, a application does something when a user press HOME and MENU key simultaneously. Is it a possible scenario?

Android :: Simultaneous Http Requests

Jan 13, 2010

Is there a limit on the number of simultaneous http requests of the form:

HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

I'm interested in any official limit as well as practical ones.

(In a previous life, you had to dig deep to discover that WinMo only allowed three WebRequests to be open at a time.)

Let's say I have a list of 20 files to download on a background thread.

Should I: Download them one at a time, blocking the thread (but not the UI thread) to wait for each one? Start 20 threads each downloading one of the files?

I expect the answer may be somewhere in between, where I create C threads and work on the queue of N files, where C is a number like 3 or 4.

I suspect some of you here have already done some experimentation and know the magic number. In addition, I suspect there may be more efficient ways of doing what I'm doing than creating a new DefaultHttpClient for each request.

Android :: Need Email Program On Andriod?

Feb 4, 2010

I'm considering moving from Nokia to Android, probably to a Motorola Droid/Milestone and have a few questions on k-9 email: does k-9 run on Android 2.x? does it support imap idle for true push email? what is the battery drain with imap idle on? does it support html email? when I delete an email from the phone, does it get deleted from the imap server, too? When I send an email from the phone, does it get uploaded to the 'sent items' folder in the server? can k-9 access the full contact list stored in the phone? Alternatively, are there other email programs which would meet my needs?

Android :: AsyncTask And Simultaneous Network Downloads

Jan 28, 2010

I am performing several https posts and http downloads from two different servers using AsyncTasks. The connections are fairly quick but I'm surprised to see that they are running synchronously instead of in parallel.

To be more explicit, here is pseudo-code for what's happening when I initiate a call to AsyncTask1():

Android :: Disable Simultaneous Search On Call Log & Contacts?

Oct 10, 2010

I just installed the latest DialerOne (1.2.7.1) from the Market and find that the new simultaneous search of the call log and contacts is annoying in that it places call log entries at the top of the list, and tapping on them brings up the call history for that contact instead of listing their numbers so you can choose one to dial. I don't see any way to turn this off.Am I missing something?It would seem natural to have the ability to limit the search to the screen presented (search only the call log when the call log is displayed, or search only the contacts when contacts are displayed), but I have Dialer One display the call log by default, so that I can quickly call a recently called contact, or just start dialing to search, so this wouldn't work for me either.I would much rather go back to the way it used to be. Of course, I figured I didn't need to backup the previous version because after all, what could change? Now I have this, and the coloring of the digits on the keypad is weird, even after adjusting it as much as possible.

Android : How Many Simultaneous Threads Can A Single App Execute In Parallel?

Oct 14, 2010

I have an android app, where in a list view for each element in list, I load an image from web in a separate thread. So if there are 8 items displayed in list view, activity will try to fire 8 different threads, one for each list item to load an image. As you scroll down the list, the number of threads may increase if the previous threads haven't finished executing.

I am curious to know how many simultaneous threads can a single android app execute in parallel? Is there a limit? I wouldn't expect these threads to cause a ANR over slow internet connection as they are independent? But it seems that ANR does happen and may be it's because app/device run low on resources, so spawning a new activity in UI takes more than 5 seconds which results in an ANR?

Any clues to how I can make responsiveness better on a slow internet connection will be appreciated.

Android - How To Run Code Depending On Simultaneous Hard Key Press

Mar 19, 2014

I am trying to implement a functionality when i press the VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON simultaneously; i must be able to run a method code inside my Activity.

public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
}

From my initial search; it seems that only one such key press event is acknowledged at a time in Android usng the onKeyUp method. Is it true?

In my Android phone, on simultaneously pressing POWER BUTTON as well as MENU BUTTON i am able to capture a screen shot.

Does this feature not acknowledge simultaneous key presses?

Android :: How Can I Register My Application On Andriod To Handle Type Of QR Code?

Oct 19, 2010

The built-in barcode scanner application on Android (based, I think, on zxing) reads QR Codes and launches that data into an application based on the leading text. For example, "BEGIN:VCAL" might launch a calendar application; "http:" might launch a browser.How can I "register" my application so the OS (or the Barcode application) will call it for a specific type (i.e. leading characters) of QR Code text?

Android :: Official Update For G1 Andriod Developer Phone (ADP) Stock Firmware

Feb 18, 2009

This is my first post and I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance if this is well documented and common knowledge. I have a stock ADP, firmware 1.0, no updates no mods and of course I want to get the latest features such as voice control, latitude etc, and so begins the fun. Why is there nothing official that can be easily found which states what is going on for people that own the ADP? I must have read dozens of articles showing update procedures and claiming to have leaked OFFICIAL developer updates and only recently did i find 2 thread that eventually end with something stating there is NO official update for developer phones yet.

I have 2 gripes about this:
1. Why no official and clear statement from the development team to clarify this before people start scrambling desperately to install leaked versions that are false? (I know I almost did) 2. Why as a developer do I have to wait for features that are already available to end users?

HTC Desire :: Simultaneous Call And Data

Apr 1, 2010

Just started using my Desire last night! Feeling good.

However...

Was just on a call, tried to use the Android Marketplace. Couldn't. Got curious, and tried to use Google Maps mid call. Couldn't. Tried to use the internet during the call. Couldn't. Now, I'm on T-Mobile (UK) and have just come from a Nokia E71. With my E71 I could make a call and use Google Maps. Am I missing something or is this bit of multitasking somehow not possible?

HTC Hero :: IPhone Cant Run Simultaneous Apps

Oct 19, 2009

I just wanted to check, e.g. on my Hero I can run GPS Tracker and press home and it will run in the background, play some music and press home and it will run in the background and go and do something else.

Are you saying the iPhone would have to completely exit the GPS Tracker to use another app or leave the GPS Tracker open and not do anything else for it to work?

Media :: Divx Playback On Andriod

Nov 6, 2008

That would be nice video player if you could play compressed divx movies without encoding them in a program to h264 or mp4.One way I know you can play divx on a G1 Phone is to take your Divx movie and convert it using a program called XvidforPsp then put the video settings for the screen resolution for the androids phone or just select apples iphone presets and encode the video in h264 or mp4 then move the file to your memory card and open it in video player.I did this and it works great for watching your divx movies on a G1.Just whish i didnt have to do the extra steps.

HTC Droid Eris :: Games On Andriod

Jan 28, 2010

Coming to the Eris from an iPhone, the biggest issue with me so far has been the difference in applications between the two platforms, specifically games. For those out there like myself that have struggled to find any games that may be worth playing on an android phone, I give you this post from Gizmodo.There Are No Good Games On Android, If You Ignore All These Good Games On Android - Android games - Gizmodo

I have tried a few of the games on here so far and they seem to be pretty fun. One that I have spent a good time playing is Shoot U, which is similar to ragdoll blaster on iPhone if anyone has played that before. Anyway, enjoy!
