Android :: Implemented An Android Shake Detector That Works Well On Most Phones?
Jul 11, 2010
Has anyone implemented an Android Shake Detector that works well on most phones?I thought it would be fairly simple to implement but I keep getting false results. Basically, what I'm doing is setting up a sensor Listener, checking to make sure it is a SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER event, then only checking the event if the last event I received was more than 50 milliseconds ago (to try to reduce the amount of checking I do).Then I look for 3 "Shakes" within 4 seconds.A "Shake" to me being a speed reading of over 1000 followed by a speed reading of less than 400 within 1 second. If I don't get three "Shakes" within 4 seconds then the counter is reset to zero.At times it seems to work well but I continue to have instances where I just pick up the phone, and it triggers all three shakes, which makes very little sense to me because at other times, I can physically shake the phone quite hard, and not trigger all three shakes.As I said.. it works about 90% of the time correctly, but a 10% error rate is making the feature I want to implement useless.

I'm looking for an android code example on how I would be able to make my phone listen for a "shake" and then have it trigger webview.reload(); to simply reload the webview on the activity. Anyone have any insight on this topic?

I'm sorry to bother everyone with this, especially if it was already asked. My sister, her husband and her son (my neph) own an Evo. They were OTA's to froyo way back. Now, I've gotten a call from her asking me why their swype no longer works on their phones. They had a swype.apk that was unauthorized, fyi. Note: I am not asking for a link, I'm asking if anyone knows what happened. She's asking me (everyone comes to me with their android questions).

This post in AndroidGuys claims that the Epic 4G's Media Hub update will also work on other Galaxy S phones. Not that I care about the Media Hub that much but has anyone tried to apply the Epic 4G's Media Hub update to their non-Epic 4G Galaxy S phones?

I am using gesture detector to catch "flings" and using a view flipper to change the screen when this happens. Some of my child views contain list views. The the gesture detector wont recognize a swipe if you swipe on the list view. But it will recognize it if it is onTop of TextView's or ImageView's. Is there a way to implement it so that it will recognize the swipes even if they are on top of another view that has a ClickListener?

Every cell phone has a microwave emisor/receptor and it is used to make calls. My question is Do we can use it as a microwave detector to detect another cellphones, microwave oven leaks? Also use it as a mw radar.

create to get ads on my free application, ok first off I have been following this book
Beginning Android games 2011
Beginning Android Games
Now this book implements a very nice and simple game framework which I use (a simpler version can be found here.The Android Game Framework: Part I - Kilobolt
Now this framework doesn't use any type of XML file what so ever, it uses a framebuffer to draw things onto the screen. now when the application is first started, this is the first method called which is in the AndroidGame.java
[HIGH]
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
[code]...

I am developing an android application and I am novice in Touch enabled Android Application. I have read the article about "onFling" and "onScroll" event on:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/GestureDetector.OnGestureListener.html
But I didn't get exactly what is the meaning and for what we can use OnFling and onScroll event?

I've been looking around in the framework source and I can get my head around some things. For instance, in the ScrollView, the animated scrolling is done by using computeScroll(). To make the screen redraw (and thus call computeScroll() again), postInvalidate() is used. Why is that one used, instead of a regular invalidate-call?
Secondly, I wonder some things about the Animation framework. I know how a ViewGroup is responsible for animating the children (modifying the Canvas and so on), but what drives the animation, i.e. what makes the screen redraw over and over again? In the case of the ScrollView, it's the call to postInvalidate() made from computeScroll(), but what is it in the case of an Animation?

I notice in the source code they are not used in critical loops, e.g. in View.java :
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;...
I can see this kind of code which would be much easier implemented as an ArrayList :
1867 private void addInArray(View child, int index) { 1868 View[] children = mChildren;
1869 final int count = mChildrenCount;
1870 final int size = children.length;
1871 if (index == count) { 1872 if (size == count) { 1873 mChildren = new View[size + ARRAY_CAPACITY_INCREMENT];
1874 System.arraycopy(children, 0, mChildren, 0, size);
1875 children = mChildren;
1876 } 1877 children[mChildrenCount++] = child;
1878 } else if (index < count) { 1879 if (size == count) { 1880 mChildren = new View[size + ARRAY_CAPACITY_INCREMENT];
1881 System.arraycopy(children, 0, mChildren, 0, index);
1882 System.arraycopy(children, index, mChildren, index + 1, count - index);
1883 children = mChildren; 1884 } else { 1885 System.arraycopy(children, index, children, index + 1, count - index);
1886 } 1887 children[index] = child;
1888 mChildrenCount++;
1889 } else { 1890 throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("index=" + index + " count=" + count);
1891 } 1892 };

I mean in runtime. Sometimes I get "called unimplemented OpenGL ES API" error but it can not be catched. Is there a way to figure out what function is implemented or not, in runtime?

The things that sometimes a brute force shake would be most helpful for and that I would pay money to have my phone do:
1. Shake to full brightness. When it's too bright to see the screen, it's a PITA to try to get the brightness turned up.
2. Shake to current phone call. Occasionally, I exit the phone app and it's frustrating not to be able to hop back over there quickly.
3. Shake to unlock. It's annoying to always be swiping when I just want to quickly check something on my phone. A quick shake would be much easier as an option.

I've been playing with the data given by the accelerometer,trying to work out how I can gauge a shake from front to back or side to side. This all seems straightforward enough.But I'd love to know the direction of the shake. So, if the user is shaking backwards and forwards, I want to know if the device is moving away from the user, or back towards him/her. I can't find any way of telling this.

I need to add a shake feature that will refresh my Anroid application.All I find of documentation involves implementing the SensorListener, but Eclipse tells me it's deprecated and suggest SensorEventListener. Anybody that has a nice guide to how I go about creating this "shake controller"?

Is it possible to build a spreadsheet-like grid? I would like to select single cells, or one row at a time,like a database viewer.
Or would it need to be implemented at the framework level?
I'm thinking of a UI equivalent of something like this AJAX control, which may be opened in the WebView: http://www.hisdigital.com/misc/flexigrid/.

I would like to detect shake movement in a service that is running in the background, even when the phone is not currently being used. Is it true that the only way to do this is to hold a wake lock? I suppose this would consume a lot of energy and drain the battery very fast.Is there no way to wake up the phone whenever a shake movement occurs? Maybe with the native sdk? I would imagine the accelerometer causing some kind of interrupt.

I want to add one more endpoint audio device in android and am trying to modify the setRouting() functions to support the selection of the new added audio device. As far I traced, the doRouting() in class AudioHardwareOss should perform the audio endpoint device selection. However, donRouting() just returns NO_ERROR without any other functionalities. So, my question is where and how endpoint audio device selection is achieved.

I have an application that has a tabActivity and 3 tabs. all off the tabs use a location listener and work with locations. i implement onPause and onResume for every tab to remove and start listening for location accordingly. is this the right way to go? i had another idea to work with and that was implementing a location listener to the tabActivity and doing broadcasts to the child tabs with the location, but it seemed more complicated.
The problem with my current solution is that whenever i switch tab i lose the location i got in the previous and i cant use getlastknown location because i dont want the last location on start of the application.(does this make sense?) what can i do to solve this problem. a thing that will work better will be to have one variable that will hold the last location from the onLocationChanged and i can observe its changes and call methods onChange.

I got my Hero 3G (the one with the chin) a few days ago and I just noticed that when I tap the back of the phone near the camera or when I bounce it on my bed, I hear a tiny sound like there is something loose inside the phone. Is this normal? Is it something like a motion detector with a moving part for instance?
