Android :: Need To Bypass Constructors When Instantiating Objects

Jun 25, 2010

Do Android have any way to instantiate objects without calling any of its constructors? In Java, Sun have sun.reflect.ReflectionFactory.getReflectionFactory().newConstructorForSerialization(), in .Net we have System.Runtime.Serialization.FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject() but I was not able to find anything like that in the Android platform.

Android :: Pass Activity Context To Constructors To Use Internally / Is This Bad?

May 26, 2010

Is is bad practice to pass the Context to a constructor and save it as a private variable for internal use? The other option is to pass the Context as a parameter to methods that need it.

Which is the better option?
I have a feeling that passing to the constructor might result in memory leaks accidentally.

Android :: Loop Through All Subclasses In View?

Apr 8, 2010

I'm working on a game for Android. To help implement it, my idea is to create a subclass of a view. I would then insert several instances of this class as children of the main view. Each instance would handle detecting when it was pressed (via OnTouchListener).

The problem I'm having now is how do I loop through all these sub-views so I can read their statuses and process them? (I.e. when they all reach a certain state something should happen). Or is there a better way to have several objects on the screen that respond to touch and whose status I can check?

Android :: Combining Subclasses Which Have Different Fields For Efficiency?

Feb 7, 2010

I'm working on a Java Android game. Games here generally need to use memory pools to avoid garbage collection.Making use of subclasses is a pain when using memory pools as you need to e.g. say how many Roamer and Chaser objects you want upfront and not just how many Enemy objects you might need.I would then have an update function that checked the "type" variable and updated accordingly. This is obviously a more C-like approach. It feels hacky though because e.g. a roamer enemy will have a "target" variable it never uses. I'm unlikely to have more than a 100 enemies in memory at a time though so it really isn't a big deal memory wise. I just want some compromise between nice code and speed.Does anyone have any comments on how best to structure this? Is merging classes like this going too far? Is this ever a good idea? Should I just use a regular class tree?

Android :: Difference Between Clockwork And Titanium

Aug 18, 2010

What is the difference between these two backup solutions? I am rooted now with Clockwork Recovery installed via ROM Manager, and I have successfully created a "nandroid" backup with Clockwork.

Now, many that have Clockwork also use Titanium Backup for root users. What is the advantage of using Titanium, or does each backup method serve different purposes?

Is it that the nandroid backups can only be used on the same device on which it was created, and Titanium can be used when migrating to a new and different device in order to preserve app data?

Android :: Difference In Traceview Time

Sep 24, 2010

I'm usign starMethodTrace() and stopmethodTtrace() to get trace data to use on traceview. Everything seems to work fine. I test my app for 50 (real world) seconds having two important events after 15 and 45 seconds from start tracing. However, when analyzing the traceview's timeline I found the total tracetime is only 1.068,964 (msec). My two events are displayed as they were occurred at time 257,743 msec and 642,654 msec. This is just about 1 second of total execution time. Why there is this huge difference between real world time and trace view time? May be because I have a lot of idle time? Is there a way to relate the times displayed in the time line with real world time?

Android :: Difference Between Mail App And Gmail App

Nov 23, 2009

I have an HTC Droid Eris, and am curious about the different email apps that came pre-installed. What exactly is the difference between the Mail app and the Gmail app (other than the obvious fact that Gmail only caters to Gmail accounts)? The only email account I use is a Gmail one - is there an advantage to using one over the other for me? I also noticed that the Mail app starts automatically, even if for now I'm not using it at all.
