I'm using the 1.5 SDK. I read in 1.0 that rotating the device would cause onCreate() to be called in our apps (possibly recreating the entire app?). Is there a way to test rotating the device in the emulator? I just want to see what happens, I don't have a device to test this. Will the behavior be the same for 1.5 as it was in 1.0?

I'm writing an Android JUnit test and want to copy/reset a test fixture file (it's an SQLite database file.) If I were within the main application, I know I could just place the file in the assets directory and use getResources().getAssets().open(sourceFile).However, this API appears to be unavailable from the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 class.Is there an easy way to copy a file over from the testing PC, or should I just keep a fresh copy of a test fixture on the device and copy it over a temporary file?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy first activity is creating a second activity within its onCreate:
CODE:............
The second activity has EditText views for the username and password along with submit and cancel buttons. When either button is pushed, the text from username and password is sent back to activity one (via onActivityResult), which connects to a server to see if the username is available. While connecting to the server showDialog is used to show a ProgressDialog. When the server responds, the ProgressDialog is dismissed and an AlertDialog is shown. This works fine as long as the device is not rotated.
Here's the problem: if the user rotates the device from within the second activity and pushes submit, the first activity re-invokes its onCreate, which ends up launching the second activity again since the username and password are still null.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get around this?
Is there a method that could be used to pass data from activity-2 to activity-1's onCreate? I wouldn't want to use a database in this case, as that seems like overkill.
I've thought about containing the server communication and dialogs to activity 2, but then I'd have duplicate server code in activity 1 and activity 2 (activity 1 connects to the server for other things too). Another issue I'd have with this approach is that the user has an option to cancel creating the password, in which case I want the app to finish. If I called finish from activity 2, activity 1 would appear and I don't want that to show unless a username and password have been created.
It just occurred to me - if I could replace activity 2 with a dialog it might make things simpler. The dialog view needs to have 2 EditTexts and 2 buttons. Can I create something like this and use the showDialog method?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application which requires to add Calendar event. I have written the code for inserting event to the calendar. But whenever i run my application, everytime i get error that "Fail to find provider info for Calendar" and it also throws me NullPointerException error. So, what it means and i found that emulator doesn't provide Calendar application in-built.I think if the Android Emulator doesn't have Calender API, so, naturally, it will not have any database URI in the emulator whereas the Contact has URI --"content://contacts/people". I also found the URI for Calendar as "content://calendar/calendars" but it doesn't work and it means that it gives me error cause of missing Calendar application.Can anybody clarify me, with suggestions regarding Calendar Event?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently discovered that the Android 2.0 SDK supports multitouch through new functions in the MotionEvent class. You can specify a pointer index when retrieving touch properties, and in cases where multiple fingers are on the screen there should be multiple pointers provided.
Unfortunately, I only have a G1 to test on and it's running Android 1.5 and not 2.0.
Is there any way to test multitouch without a 2.0 device? In the iPhone simulator, you can hold down option and shift option to perform two fingered pinch and two fingered drag, respectively. Is there any similar functionality in the Android emulator? Is it something I should expect to see in the future, or should I just suck it up and buy a new test phone?

I tried something quick and dirty below inside the onCreate method when the app first opens and nothing really happens, is there something more I need to do/obviously my toast idea is just bad.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi am working on android CTS test, i am getting API check time out error whenever i start test plan CTS, i followed the below steps for CTS test and also i mentioned my doubts.
CTS test steps :
1. Please download and install the Android 1.6 SDK on your machine.
2. Your phone should be running a user build (Android 1.6 and later) from source.android.com
3. Please refer to this link on the Android developer site and set up your device accordingly.
4. Make sure that your device has been flashed with a user build (Android 1.6 and later) before you run CTS.
5. You need to download the TTS files via Settings > Speech synthesis > Install voice data before running CTS tests. (Note that this assumes you have Android Market installed on the device, if not you will need to install the files manually via adb)
6. It is advisable to log in to the device with a test Google account, not an account that you actually use.
7. Make sure the device has a SD card plugged in and the card is empty. Warning: CTS may modify/erase data on the SD card plugged in to the device.
8. Do a factory data reset on the device (Settings > SD Card & phone storage > Factory data reset). Warning: This will erase all user data from the phone.
9. Make sure no lock pattern is set on the device (Settings > Security & location > Require Pattern should be unchecked.Google Confidential
10. Make sure the "Screen Timeout" is set to "Never Timeout" (Settings > Sound & Display > Screen Timeout should be set to "Never Timeout".
11. Make sure the "Stay Awake" development option is checked (Settings > Applications > Development > Stay awake).
12. Make sure Settings > Application > Development > Allow mock locations is set to true.
13. Make sure the device is at the home screen at the start of CTS (Press the home button).
14. While a device is running tests, it must not be used for any other tasks.
15. Do not press any keys on the device while CTS is running. Pressing keys or touching the screen of a test device will interfere with the running tests and may lead to test failures.
Doubts :
1) is it necessary to follow all the steps ?
2) for step 5, i copied the voice data to the SD card and if i follow step 8 it will erase all contents of SD card so how can i follow both step 5 and step 8 at a time...?

After following some instructions on Diego Torres blog I am able to test my classes using the regular Eclipse JUnit test-runner, however I also want to be able to run my unit tests from within the emulated android environment. For now this should make no real difference since the classes I am working on do very basic numerical or networking tasks, but obviously anything which involves the UI or Android API specific functions can only ever be tested on the emulator.
I set up a new run configuration of type AndroidJUnitTest wich uses the ndroid.test.InstrumentationTestRunner, however whenever I fire up the test I get the following error in the console:

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?
