This is a pretty open ended question.I have a T-Mobile Touch and have some free time on my hands. So far as i understand im stuck with Android 1.5 and no sign of T-Mobile or Huawei releasing a ROM using a more up-to-date version of the Android SDK.Im asking what are the major complexities involved with making a ROM for this fone using a newer version of the Android SDK?

I am currently writing the backend for a service which has 3 clients: browser, android native and iphone native. I am having a little trouble with coming up with an authentication system since I don't know what can really be done on the clients.
I am using django + twisted for the backend.
Basically, I am going to be writing RestfulAPIs to open up for the clients on both phones to call.
Now the real question is, how should I come up with an authentication system?
I have thought about using sessionids, this works very well with the browser and I can use django's integrated app for that.
However, I don't know if it's possible for both the iphone and android to obtain a unique sessionid on the handset. Should I write an API call to distribute unique sessionids?
if that's the case, is it possible for me to still use django's authentication system since a lot of the stuff here are customized? ( I am not even using a rdbms - I am sticking with mongodb, so I was on the verge of dropping django's authentication app ftm).
I have looked at foursquare's API and their basic auth method requires you to pass in user:password in every http request header. That adds 1 additional authentication each call which can kind of seem excessive.
I would like to open an mp3 file with my own audio player(based on mplayer and FFmpeg) I packaged in a apk file. It runs fine using command line and the executable version but not when packaged in apk. I got the messages using adb logcat window:

I am interested especially in how would one go about in blocking access for various applications that are blacklisted from a firewall application. As far as I could find, there are no firewall applications in the real sense except Droidwall which uses iptables on rooted phones, but I would like to see if there are any API calls currently in Android that may help with this task, be it NDK or SDK.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to programmatically save an array of shorts as PCM data. I know that this should be possible, but I haven't found a very easy way to do this on Android.Essentially, I'm taking voltage data, and I want to save it in PCM format. My function looks something like this:public void audifySignal(short[] signal) {// Create a WAV file from the incoming signal}Any suggestions would be awesome, or even references. Seems like the audio APIs built in to android are more geared for directly recording from the mic, and not so much for lower level signal processing type work (at least for saving raw data to a file). I'd also like to avoid having to manually write the PCM file headers and what not.
When implementing download function it work but during file saving to sdcard i get the following Default buffer size used in BufferedInputStream constructor. It would be better to be explicit if an 8k buffer is required.Also IO Exception occure

I have a game object that I save like this in OnPause()try {final ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(openFileOutput(gameName + ".sav", 0)); os.writeObject(gameObject); os.reset();} catch (final Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();This works fine except on some of the older or slower phones it can sometimes take too long to complete. I end up getting a ANR (Activity Not Responding) error. I would like to move this to a thread to prevent blocking the UI. However when I try this I run into multiple problems.First openFileOutput is only available in my activity. I worked around this by passing the ObjectOutputStream to the thread. After that I could save the object but later when I tried to reload I get a java.io.EOF Exeception. does anyone have a good pattern for writing objects to a file from a thread?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had an inquiry about whether my Android app can interface with a serial device via USB cable. Before I invest too much time in this path, I'd like to know: Is this even possible? Some previous threads indicate Android won't do host USB. Would it require root access and/or the NDK? Would it be better to advise the potential client to look for a serial blue tooth adapter? I can see that there is a Blue tooth Sock class which may do the job.

View 11 Replies View RelatedMy project has the run-of-the-mill HTTP calls to fetch XML files, parsing the XML files, and creating domain objects. Those objects are later used in the actions and services of the Android app, I'd like to isolate that code. I also want to write tests for it. What are some good ways of doing this? Creating an Android Library doesn't seem appropriate. The tests would have to be in a separate project. And there are no services or activities in the extracted HTTP and XML related code. So the test suite doesn't have to be an Android test suite, it could be regular JUnit tests.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to create byte array blocks from file whil the process was still using the file for writing. Actually I am storing video into file and I would like to create chunks from the same file while recording. The following method was supposed to read blocks of bytes from file:
private byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException{
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
long length = file.length(); int numRead = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length - mReadOffset];
numRead = is.read(bytes, mReadOffset, bytes.length - mReadOffset);
if(numRead != (bytes.length - mReadOffset)){
throw new IOException("Could not completely read file " + file.getName());
} mReadOffset += numRead; is.close(); return bytes;
}
But the problem is that all array elements are set to 0 and I guess it is because the writing process locks the file. Any other way to create file chunks while writing into file.
Can any one give the code to read and write to a file in the Android assets folder.

Are these two different native applications (homescreen and launcher)? Or is the menu that pops up part of the homescreen application.
Further, It there some Intent I could declare in my app that would instruct android to load my launcher / homescreen app instead of the native one, or would this require me to reimplement from source and build a custom platform?
