Android :: Get Rid Of Last Few Long Calculations In Game
Dec 29, 2009
Like the topic of the thread says. In my game I would like to turn all the calculations into FP format. I can eliminate pretty much everything else but I still need to do the the following calculation in long format.The value I get from this is the time passed since last frame, which is like.. two digit millisecond value, which naturally is more than good for FP stuff. After that calculation I turn the resulting value into FP integer and use it with the rest of my calculations but I'd like to get rid of that long calculation too. Any ideas how to go around this to do it in FP format?So any advice how to keep the same "accuracy" of the timer but get rid of the long calculation and have it replaced with nice and fast FP calculation. Any advices on how to trim down the System.currentTimeMillis()

I been creating this grades calculating app and m having problems with calculations.The app looks very similar to this website: University Grade Calculator, calculate module averages and degree classifications - unigradecalc.. My app is basically the app version of that site but i just can't seem to work out the formula.

I want to be able to let a button do some time calculations for me.
Basically I want the user to able to press the button and it will take the system time on their device and add numbers to it.
This is the code I have so far:
[HIGH]public void onClickHere (View v) {
Calendar time = Calendar.getInstance();
int hourofday = time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minutes = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
time.add(hourofday, 6);
time.add(minutes, 14);
}[/HIGH]
The code above is just an example and it takes the system time and puts it in a TextView. It will also add 6 to the hours and 14 to the minutes. The problem is I get force close errors when the time is something like 1:50pm. You can't add 14minutes to 50minutes. Is there another direction I can take so that it adds up correctly and I can add any number of hours and minutes to any time?

I have a square grid, for a turn based game ( grid is similar to the chess board ), but the moves in the games are different based on whether you have lapped your opponent pawn at least once or not.i.e if you have not lapped (beaten any of the opponents pawns) in the outer most grid as below.if you have lapped your opponent pawn once at least, then you get to reach home,this way.Any player having all his pawns reaching "home" first wins.The ones in yellow are safe-houses, i.e both the opponent pawn and the player's pawn get to stay in the same grid, this is not considered to be lapping ( the opponent ).The lapped pawn will return to its start point.Now the question is, what is the effective way to store the paths for the all the pawns.we will have 4 pawns for the player and 4 opponent pawns.Is there any pattern to store such static information, in a elegant way?

I have a puzzle game with a 7x7 grid of graphics, and a timer, its just about ready to go. But I am stuck on how to go about saving/continuing game. For example when someone exits I want them to be able to save and exit, then come back and click continue to pick up where they left off with all of the graphics in the right place, timer and score. I looked at onSaveInstanceState android examples, but not sure if this is what I need or how to implement it in my case.

Firstly I am new to android so please forgive any ignorance below. My Questions are; I really need a phone upgrade (iphone 3g being a proper drag!) and the HD looks great, but with 3.0 scheduled (from what I have read) to come out around xmas I am tempted to hold off till then. Can anyone shed light on when the next HTC uberphone would be expected to come out? I can probably wait till Xmas before upgrading, and maybe a little longer, but otherwise I'll go for the HD in October.

I want, that when the user clicks on a button, a textfield with a number will increase or decrease. But this should be work in a way, that the user leaves the finger on the button and the number increases automatically. Therefore he doesn´t have to click lot of times.I have not found any method to override that could implement such behaviour! Does anybody know how to implement this?

I'm getting a server response back in ddms,But I'm finding that ddms logs only show about the first 50 lines of the response,then cuts everything else off, which isn't very helpful,since it means I can't see any of the useful info. I don't have much control over the content of the response it's a standard Django debug page, i.e. quite long. Does anyone know how I can get ddms to show the whole thing?

I am trying to get a JSON response from our server and the response string seems is always being truncated when the string length reaches to around 5525 characters.I also tried this by using HttpEntity and reading the response stream. But that also truncates the string at approximately that length. I tested the link in my browser and it does return the complete JSON. So I am sure the issue is with my code in android.

Maybe it is a simple problem for some of you. But how do you automatically cut off long strings and add "..." to the right end in TextViews, like Activity title does? Sorry for posting twice coz I didn't see my previous post in the list

I have an app that has a service with it. This service is started the first time you open the app is is suppose to run continuously in the background every two minutes. It seems that at some point though the service stops running or alarmManager stops scheduling/doing what is requested of it. Here is a breakdown of my code flow.
User opens the app,. Service is started, Inside the service I cancel any alarms that might be for this app then create a new one set for two minutes out, Once the alarm is set I call a GPS location check to get lat/lon, I then call up a .net web service to do some stuff with the lat/lon, Once text is returned I check that text for certain Items, If a certain item is found I send a broadcast out to a receiver that then creates a wakelock, starts a new intent to open an activity of my app then sounds an alarm, Right after I broadcast I call stopSelf() as well as calling stopSelf() if the text did not contain certain Items, I call finish() on the new activity I started if we go that far once the Active screen of my app is closed.
The reason I think something is dieing out here is because after some point in time usually once I wake up in the morning and check the phone I no longer see my GPS icon on my droid checking every two minutes.

have been dealing with placement of items in the ItemizedOverlay class with the google maps android library, which seems to work just fine. It handles the icon placments and associated properties of the icons that I place on the viewer.As of lately though, I noticed that I loose the satellite view altogether in the final zoom features of the map when I want to get in real close. I thought this would be a real good opportunity to use a blueprint of an area as an overly on the gridded map so that there were still areas of reference when analyzing an area up close. Unfortunately I have not been able to place a bounded region for the blueprint on the map. If I have latitude and longitude values for each corner of where the blueprint should be places, I can't seem to find a method to put this where I want it on the map.The only constructor/method that I have found only asks for a center point and then sizes the object appropriately. It seems odd that this feature wouldn't exist but I can't find anything to hint that it does exist. JFrog "Debugging is twice as hard as coding something the first time. Therefore, if you make your code as clever as possible, you are by definition, not smart enough to debug it."

I've got an app that lets users send sms messages. Works great when the message < 160 characters. After that, things work less-perfectly. Seems like there are a few options here:
Manually break the message up into multiple SMSs, send each part as a separate SMS. Use the multi-part send SMS function (sendMultipartTextMessage()). Send the message as an MMS message (sendDataMessage()?).
Here's my novice take on it:
1)most well supported across carriers. Users may get mad that you just cost them N separate messages though, instead of converting to MMS or something.
2)not sure if this is supported by different carriers, and read that once the message is greater than 3 * 160 chars in length, gets converted to MMS anyway by different SMS apps - maybe stay away from this altogether.
3)not sure how to do this, and older phones might not support MMS. To send an MMS using the android SDK, do we just use the SmsManager.sendDataMessage() method?

I have a lengthy (20K) text file I need to display (the terms and conditions document written by an obviously overpaid lawyer).
What's the best/simplest way to show this to a user? I loaded the text from a raw resource and added it as the message to an AlertDialog, but the text is cut off about half way. I couldn't find any obvious limits to the alert dialog text or the TextView it uses.

I have an app that uses seekbars with buttons on either side for fine adjustments. Right now I use simple onclick events for the buttons, every click changes the seekbar 1 unit.What I would like to do is use a long press to quickly scroll, so if a user holds down a button for say 800 millis it will start adding ten units per second. What I'm thinking my approach should be is to use onKeyDown and onKeyUp events, but is there a better way? OnLongClickListener won't work as far as I can tell because it doesn't detect key-up.Is my approach correct?

I would like to capture long click events in a ListView, which was easily done using a OnItemLongClickListener. However, that lacks the fading animation of the selector transitioning to a long press that is seen when the long click is handled by onCreateContextMenu. How can I get that animation using OnItemLongClickListener?

I'm at the beginning of writing an AddWidget for the home-screens. From what I understand, these can only utilize RemoteViews ran by the home-process and not your own. Which means we won't be getting any callbacks, such as onDraw. Is there a way you can get knowledge of how often and for how long a widget is visible? The RemoteView API seems very simplistic, what am I missing?

I have a thread that constantly polls a UDP connection and posts the received data to another thread. It uses a connected DatagramSocket, reads a packet (which is always the same side), gets the data and posts it to a message queue (not the android one, my implementation). The problem happens mainly over 3G connection, not wifi.
Code looks like:
