I'm writing an app, that lets users subscribe to notification for TV transmissions. Currently the user can choose email, sms or push, but it all feels a bit overkill for a simple timed notification. I wonder if I can tell Android to simply "show this Notification at 11:30"?

Is it possible to get a notification on a timed out screen when I get a new text message? When I used to get texts on my old phone (LG Dare), the screen would light up for a couple of seconds everytime I received a new text message. With the Droid 2, it seems like I can only make the phone vibrate or make a notification sound. However, when I'm at work, I keep my phone on silent and can't have my phone constantly vibrating on my desk. Is there a way to set the notifications up so that my screen can alert me of a new message? I don't have the time to constantly check my phone for text messages during the day and I think I'm wearing out my battery quicker with the constant turning on and off of my screen to check for new texts.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my Android application I am getting a very strange crash, when I press a button (Image) on my UI the entire application freezes and after a couple of seconds I getthe dreaded force close dialog appearing.
Here is what gets printed in the log:
CODE:................
This is the code for the Button (Image):
CODE:..................
If I comment the following out the pressing of the button (image) doesn't cause the crash:
CODE:.................
The above code calls down through several levels of the app and into the native layer (NDK), could the call passing through several objects be leading to the force close? It seems unlikely as several other buttons do the same without issue.
How about the native layer? Could some code I've built with the NDK be causing the issue?
Looking for an app that will give me 0-60, 1/4 mike times, etc. what is a good one?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have a somewhat secure method of expiring a trial version of an app a certain amount of time after an install? I do not want to use a server, because I am making a game that shouldn't need permissions. I would like the expiration data to survive an uninstall, but I am ok if it doesn't survive a manual edit of the database. Do an application's database entries get deleted when an app is uninstalled? How about preferences? Local files? Other methods?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to show a modeless dialog--a dialog that allows the user to interact with whatever was on the screen before the dialog but also allows the user to interact with the dialog if pressed?
I know of Toasts, but they don't allow interaction with the popup.
I know of Dialogs, but they're modal and don't allow interaction with the background.
I know of Notifications, but I want something that is visibile on screen.
I basically want to be able to be playing a game or something and a popup appears that I have a new email or something. I can click it to view my email, but I can wait for it to go away if I just want to continue playing my game. Is this possible in Android?

View 10 Replies View RelatedAfter stopping and restarting playback of an audiotrack stream, on some devices I consistently get;
W/AudioTrack( 2453): obtainBuffer timed out (is the CPU pegged?) 0x64acc0 user=00010000, server=00000000
after freezing for a couple of seconds. This happens whether I just pause() and flush() my audiotrack or release() and recreate it.
I am using MediaPlayer to play background music and SoundPool to play sound effects. All Audio data is stored in .ogg file format. Sometimes it happens that the MediaPlayer playback is interrupted for a fraction of a second if SoundPool.play() is called. Whenever this happens, the following two warnings are printed to logcat:
11-04 01:49:05.113: WARN/AudioTrack(51): obtainBuffer timed out (is the CPU pegged?) 0x2b6e8 user=000cc520, server=000cb710 11-04 01:49:05.113: WARN/AudioTrack(51): *** SERIOUS WARNING *** obtainBuffer() timed out but didn't need to be locked. We recovered, but this shouldn't happen (user=000cc520, server=000cb710)
Do you have any ideas what could cause the warning messages and/or how to avoid them? I.e. how to prevent SoundPool.play() from interrupting MediaPlayer playback?
An other warning that's sometimes appearing is: 11-04 01:55:49.793: WARN/AudioFlinger(51): write blocked for 89 msecs There seems to be no connection to the above messages, but do you have any ideas what causes this message and/or how to avoid it?
Here's some more detailed background information, maybe they are useful: My OpenGL powered game is split into three threads: One for rendering, one to take care about the game logic and the main thread to process user input. All Audio data is accessed through a central AudioManager class, which is only used in the game logic thread. (So this does not seem like a threading issue. Needless to say that synchronizing all methods has not solved the problem). The game runs smoothly at ~60 frames per second. According to DDMS the game causes ~33% system load (~10% in kernel space and ~23% in user space) on a G1. Even the idle task gets ~24% CPU time assigned while the game is running and input happens through the touch screen! (So it does not look like a performance problem) The MediaPlayer playback interruption always happens if SoundPool.play () is called in response of a touch screen input. Although touch screen input and SoundPool.play() happen in different threads. I've tried suspending the UI thread for various different delays between 8 and 32 msec after a MotionEvent has been processed, but again, without success...
I have an Android app which needs to play a sound resource on a timed interval, say every 120 seconds. I know how to access the sound resources and play them, however it's time timer part I'm not sure of. What's the best approach?

I've read some posts that eclipse needs to be configured to access the internet by modifying the Proxy preferences "Preferences -> General -> Network Connections" from the Window menu item. I haven't been able to figure out exactly what I need to configure in the Proxy to get things to work if that is the problem.
I've also tried to access the .net web service root page (service.asmx) from my android with no success. I can access the asmx page with no problems using IE on the local machine. I've turned off the firewall and that didn't solve anything either. This is the first time I've tried to access a web service from a remote computer when it was running using VS2010 in debug mode.
I don't know if I have a configuration issue on the eclipse side or on the VS2010 side.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Google's LVL mechanism for licensing in my application and in the last few days I've started getting reports from users that the licensing mechanism fails. I get the following lines in the log from those users:
Code:
Line 925: 03-26 23:04:41.463 I/LicenseChecker(31875): Binding to licensing service.
Line 926: 03-26 23:04:41.473 I/LicenseChecker(31875): Calling checkLicense on service for com.blabla.myApp

Line 930: 03-26 23:04:51.472 I/LicenseChecker(31875): Check timed out.
I've made sure with the users that they have Internet connection, you can see that it takes ~10 minutes before I get a timeout so this isn't just a momentary thing, and on top of this, I check for license several times before deciding that this is invalid.

A friend has a Galaxy S3 on AT&T. He doesn't have unlimited data so he usually keeps mobile data off. Whenever he receives a picture message he has to toggle the data switch on and off. Sometimes he forgets to switch it off and his battery drains and his data usage goes up.
My workaround includes using the app Widgetsoid to create a toggle for mobile data but I would like to incorporate a timer in the command prompt option.
I noticed that it has an option for a custom command prompt to be executed when the widget is toggled. Could create a line of code which I can use to turn mobile data on and then off in a specified amount of time?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to detect whether the Notification Windows is being shown? I have a service that updates an ongoing notification, complete with a progress bar and text? Is there a way to know if the notifiication screen is actually being shown, so I can adjust how often I wouldn't be so concerned if not for the fact that the HTC Incredible will reboot after it receives several hundred or so updates. Based on a controlled experiment with a beta tester, the service could continue for 24 hours if it did not update progress, but dies after several hundred updates. So I am desperate to reduce the notifications, if that's what works, and one of the ways I could do that is by not updating as much or at all if that screen isn't being shown.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo when I get texts, gmail, completed app downloads, etc I get notification icons at the top as usual. When I slide the notification bar down to reveal the nofications and click on an item, the notification screen doesn't hide back to the top of my phone -- it just stays open. I either have to hide it manually or I have to hit the back button, which sometimes exits the app I was trying to open. 2.1 never did this for me, it always hid when choosing an item. Anyone have a solution to this? I've done a factory reset after 2.2 btw. I've also searched support to see if there was a similar problem, no similar threads.
