Can any one help with how to test sensor events like shake on Android Emulator.I have found some posts pointing to openintents but can anyone explain how to use it in android 2.0 avd.

I am pretty new to android. I have a use case where I need to detect a shake and show some images in my application. Can I test shake functionality on android emulator ? What are the other alternatives apart from testing it on a real phone ?

long downTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
long eventTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
MotionEvent event = MotionEvent.obtain(downTime, eventTime,
MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN, 100,100, 0);
MotionEvent event2 = MotionEvent.obtain(downTime, eventTime,
MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, 100, 100, 0);...............................
I have a very simple activity created with one seek bar. I'm trying to figure out how best to unit test the events.
Below is how I have the seek bar wired up in my activity.
CODE:.........
So with this I have a test class that extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase and I have test method.
Should I not be able to so something like this? Right now I'm getting Test run failed: String resource ID #0x2 with this code.

Pretty new to Android development here.Is there an example out there of a working app with source that does something when you shake the phone? Is this doable in a background app? Done quite a bit of googling and can't find any good examples; only tutorials with little context.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new android app I put on the marketplace a few days ago. I did quite a bit of testing on my moto droid before publishing it and tried to be very thorough. Well, I got some negative comments back on how it didnt run right on someone's EVO 2.2 or X10 (didnt even know what that was at first). Well, it runs perfect on my phone.
Any advice on how I'm supposed to fix or support an app that runs on like 100 different phones?
How are other developers approaching this? (without actually buying every phone out there).
I have 1.0 r2 and it takes garbage pictures, and crashes when trying to view any saved image (I've only saved images taken from the emulator's "camera" so I don't know if it shows images that were pushed via adb properly.)
I'll try the 1.1 SDK, and failing that, an earlier version.
Is this a known issue, sort of a "well, if you're really going to work with pictures, you should be using a G1 anyhow..." kind of thing?
I was wondering if there is a way to manipulate the emulator to simulate telephony signal strength changes.
I would like to test code that uses TelephonyManager.listen() with LISTEN_SIGNAL_STRENGTHS.
I need to run unit tests for code that references SQLiteDatabase for my Android code; however all my attempts to instantiate this object outside the emulator (on my desktop machine) have failed. JDBC on Android is not being recommended on the Net, hence it's out of the question (I could have provided mock objects very easily that way).

We are currently working on an instrumentation test suite which runs on our build server, but while the tests pass on a dev machine using a normal Android emulator, the builds fail on the build server since there we only run a headless emulator with the -no-window flag.The failure occurs when trying to invoke the InstrumentationTestCase.sendKeys() method to programatically open the options menu.We also tried to let the instrumentation test app and the app under test share the same Linux user ID using android:sharedUserId and run in the same process (android:process -- we weren't sure if that was already the case), but still no luck. Does this mean it's currently impossible to run instrumentations which contain key events on a headless emulator, or are we missing something?

When you switch from portrait to landscape the onSaveInstanceState()/ onRestoreInstanceState() pair are called once, but when going back from landscape to portrait they are called twice, unless I've missed something. To test, see the log after creating a default Hello World app and change the main class like this: code...

How do you test GPS applications in Android? Can we test it using the Android emulator?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm currently testing my application in the SDK emulator, Great everything works perfectly. The next step was to try the same application loaded on to the G1. After loading the app, I'm getting some strange behaviour. Some Activities seem to be called by intents multiple times, when in the emulator they only appear once. Looking at the code I can't see what could be wrong.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been exploring the Android test package and I'm very confused on how to implement functional testing for endpoint-to-endpoint.
Consider the example below, I have 4 activities: 1. A Contact List Activity 2. A View Contact Activity 3. An Add/Edit Contact Activity 4. A Sync Contact List activity
I want to automate a few tests that will go through multiple test cases simulating a user experience: From launching the application, to selecting 'Add contact;' opening the add contact activity, entering data, saving it, going back to the list activity, and verifying the new contact was saved properly.
As I understand it, ActivityInstrumentationTestCase<T extends Activity> and ActivityUnitTestCase<T extends Activity>, are only useful for testing single activity functionality.
But what if I need to switch between 2 or more activities inside a single functional test case?
The things that sometimes a brute force shake would be most helpful for and that I would pay money to have my phone do:
1. Shake to full brightness. When it's too bright to see the screen, it's a PITA to try to get the brightness turned up.
2. Shake to current phone call. Occasionally, I exit the phone app and it's frustrating not to be able to hop back over there quickly.
3. Shake to unlock. It's annoying to always be swiping when I just want to quickly check something on my phone. A quick shake would be much easier as an option.
Is there any Listener able to listen for shake movement. when someone shakes the phone an event should be triggered ,how I'm supposed to do that ,any idea on this topic is appreciable.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI've been playing with the data given by the accelerometer,trying to work out how I can gauge a shake from front to back or side to side. This all seems straightforward enough.But I'd love to know the direction of the shake. So, if the user is shaking backwards and forwards, I want to know if the device is moving away from the user, or back towards him/her. I can't find any way of telling this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to add a shake feature that will refresh my Anroid application.All I find of documentation involves implementing the SensorListener, but Eclipse tells me it's deprecated and suggest SensorEventListener. Anybody that has a nice guide to how I go about creating this "shake controller"?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to detect shake movement in a service that is running in the background, even when the phone is not currently being used. Is it true that the only way to do this is to hold a wake lock? I suppose this would consume a lot of energy and drain the battery very fast.Is there no way to wake up the phone whenever a shake movement occurs? Maybe with the native sdk? I would imagine the accelerometer causing some kind of interrupt.

View 3 Replies View Relatedim privileged to be one of the few people in my circle of friends that own a droid and i blow them away in many feature comparisons as they all have iphones or blackberries but i noticed through the apple app store there were many cool apps where you can just shake the phone for certain features like wake-ups notifications and even being used in popular games just wondering what Android has that has that kinda cool "shake" feature i think it would be sweet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone implemented an Android Shake Detector that works well on most phones?I thought it would be fairly simple to implement but I keep getting false results. Basically, what I'm doing is setting up a sensor Listener, checking to make sure it is a SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER event, then only checking the event if the last event I received was more than 50 milliseconds ago (to try to reduce the amount of checking I do).Then I look for 3 "Shakes" within 4 seconds.A "Shake" to me being a speed reading of over 1000 followed by a speed reading of less than 400 within 1 second. If I don't get three "Shakes" within 4 seconds then the counter is reset to zero.At times it seems to work well but I continue to have instances where I just pick up the phone, and it triggers all three shakes, which makes very little sense to me because at other times, I can physically shake the phone quite hard, and not trigger all three shakes.As I said.. it works about 90% of the time correctly, but a 10% error rate is making the feature I want to implement useless.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an app and i need to detect when the user shakes the phone from side to side , that means just along one axis (in this case X).I want to know when the user shakes the phone to the left and when to the right, the problem is that my code does not detect shaking but tilt, i have tested this code and it works when i tilt the phone to left or to the right, but not when a shake it from side to side (no matter the orientation of the phone).
