I would like to pop-up an error from the appwidget when one of its background tasks fails, but I don't think that is permissible -- or if it works, that it is safe.

I am slowly trying to figure out maps... I want to be able to click on a point and pop up a message. Toast seemed the way to go. So I added an "onTap" handler in my class that extends ItemizedOverlay (the class is called HelloItemizedOverlay) and then tried to grab the Toast example... But I am seeing Eclipse tell me that the line is in error no matter what I do...
My code is below:
CODE:..................
When using setDuration for a Toast is it possible to set a custom length or at least something longer than Toast.LENGTH_LONG?

I am on stock motorblur 2.1. Just yesterday the phone started lagging hard. I took the battery out, it wouldn't turn on and would freeze at the M logo. Found out that now it will only boot up if I pop the battery out, put it back in, wait 10 minutes then hit power. My Settings physical key stopped responding period today. and I cant do a hard reset because in order to do that it restarts the phone and it freezes at the M logo. I tried to hit HOME and POWER when turning on but it wont even enter that service menu. It still lags like hell when I get it to even boot. No physical damage or anything. been working for weeks now perfectly.

Kind of kills the whole idea of having these apps, anyone know of a non root work around as the cellular south HTC Hero cannot be rooted without major issues?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to debug a problem where my widget becomes invalid and a new one fills in.This only happens once at the beginning of time and then it remains the second widget forever.So, I want to put code in to narrow down the point in time when it happens.Then I would get a list of all the enabled IDs and see if I am in the list. I cannot find a method, member, attribute, etc. that would give me my id?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI get an apk file from somewhere. I tried to install it the emulator successfully. (The emulator is built from the latest code in AOSP which should be cupcake or later). But I can't launch the application from the GUI. It complains "The application xxx has stopped unexpectedly." After checking the logcat, I find the message "access to class not allowed". It seems that that process is not allowed to instantiate the Activity class.
Since I can install the apk successfully, I am curious why I can't launch it as a user.
BTW, I tried two ways to install the app. 1) by copying it to /system/ app and rebuild the system.img 2) by using "adb install". Both getting the same error message.
I tried to extract the AndroidManifest.xml file from the apk. But it seems that the file is scrambled and can't read.
Currently in .../external/ppp/pppd/auth.c, function check_passwd, somebody write

This basically means PAP auth is not allowed on android. Is there any reason behind this? Can I savely change the #if 1 to #if 0?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem, on a few devices. I have developed an AppWidget, and it uses a database to store the configuration for each instance of the widget. The widget id is the key in the database.Everything works on most devices, but I got a bug report a couple of days ago. A user said that the widget never worked after reboot. The user who was very helpful sent me a log from his phone, and I could then see that the widget got a new id each time he did a reboot.

I'm the lead developer of TotalCross, a virtual machine that's just like the one used in Android, and targetted for small devices. Currently, using TotalCross, you write programs completely cross- platform among Palm OS 5, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows 32, Windows CE (2,3,4,5,6) and Java-enabled platforms.
We plan to port TotalCross to Android, but i'm concerned about the legal way. I'm aware that there may be hack C APIs for Android, but will these APIs allow the users to sell their applications in a legal fashion?
Btw, what is legal and what's not legal in Android? I could easily port our VM to Android if there were a standard C api on it. However, all i see is Java APIs. I could also port TotalCross to run over the Java API, but i'm concerned about speed. I believe our VM is faster than the one in Android (actually, it is a couple times faster than the BlackBerry VM).
I have a scenario where I need to control how many retries are allowed per hour for data connection establishment in case of failure? How can this be achieved? There is something like nextReconnectDelay in GsmDataConnectionTracker.java, but can't figure out how to reconfigure this so as to reduce number of reconnection attempts? Also is there any settings so that after n retries of failed 3G data call, Android waits for x hours to initiate next connection.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to launch an app widget from another application.
For example, I have a button in an application. When I click on that button, an appwidget must be launched.
I am trying to update an AppWidget manually when a user setting changes on the device.I can tell that my AppWidget onUpdate method is being called as a result since I log some debug strings to logcat in the code. However the AppWidget itself doesn't change on the screen.Here comes the interesting part: if I rotate my device and force a refresh of the home screen (from PORTRAIT to LANDSCAPE or vice-versa) then finally my AppWidget gets updated. However rotating the device does not trigger the onUpdate method to be called, so the AppWidget must be using the RemoteViews provided in the earlier update. Can somebody explain me what to do to force the home screen redraw of my AppWidget when it processes an update?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wrote a widget that has been working fine for most folks. However, I started getting bug reports about how the widget would be blank on reboot (not receive an update?), and it seemed that the Sprint Hero continually came up. I thought I was crazy but I'm finding that other people are having the same problems:Searching Google for "sprint hero appwidget problems" yields:"Added warning about the problem on the Sprint Hero device: On the Sprint Hero (HTC ROM v1.29.xxx) the AppWidget API is broken in such a way that it won't."I e-mailed the author in hopes of getting an answer, but I haven't received any response. Does anybody with a Sprint Hero know what the problem is?
View 8 Replies View RelatedUsing Appwidgets, If we use TextView in layout provider xml then, we are able to set the text in Provider.java using remoteViews.setTextViewText() method.
Similarly, if I use AnalogClock as AppWidget in xml then, is there any method available to change the android:dial value using RemoteViews or AnalogClock api's in Provider.java ?
For Ex- I need to load two dial png's based on AM or PM.
