My app suddenly could not create a directory on sdcard using mkdirs(), it was working fine before. As the method throws no exception, I have no idea what the cause is. I have checked for a duplicate directory/file of same name, and there is none. I did remove and insert sd card but to no avail.

At some points while running my android application, I need to create a directory on the sd card, for a small number of users this fails and I can't figure out the reason for it... (I've found similar problems caused by the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission missing, it's there and it works for almost all users so I don't think this is reason) When mkdirs returns false I crash the program and log the following java.io.File properties, starting at the directory I want to create, then recursive printing properties of the parent directory and so on...
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1/Dir2 (exists: false, canWrite: false, isDirectory: false, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1 (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/ (exists: true, canWrite: false, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
The strange thing is that the parent directory is writable (canWrite=true), I can't print the execute file permission but from what I've read, write is what you need when creating directories... What I've looked at so far is the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, if the sd card is full and if the sdcard is mounted read only:...........................

View 19 Replies View RelatedI have a service running a background thread. What I'd like to do is to show an AlertDialog initiated from my background thread. I know that this is not the recommended way of notifying the user and that it interrupts the workflow (as they can pop-up in any application at any time) but it's a suitable way for my use case. There is a handler registered with the background thread and showing a Toast notification withing the handler works fine. But after switching to an AlertDialog nothing happens anymore. My showDialog logic is silently ignored. No Dialog window appears, no log entry. It's a bit strange as I'd expect at least a log entry saying that I'm doing something wrong or whatever. Are there any limitations for showing an AlertDialog initiated from a service background thread? Some people seem to recommend a Dialog themed Activity to get a similar behavior.

It's hardly one month that i bought an Xperia X8. Its silently restarting often. This happens 3 - 4 times a day. As suggested in the forum, i restored my phone to factory settings, but in vain.. the issue continues. Everytime i check Settings > About Phone > Status > Up time, i get a time less than 7 hours, which means the phone cannot run without a restart for more than 7 hours.. Anybody experiencing this kind of problem?

I was able to give this command when I had 1.0 images flashed on my phone.
Has something related to permissions changed with Android 1.5?
I'm trying to do is open a very simple application that is supposed to do nothing but display an imageView above a textView. The application worked fine until I added the imageView so I'm assuming my problem has something to do with that.

When I try to install the android SDK it fails to install.
My OS is Windows XP. I just downloaded and installed Java JDK 1.6 Java -version from the command line returns: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask java version "1.6.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
My environment vars have: JAVA_HOME=c:progra~1javajdk1.6.0_11. I downloaded android-sdk-r04-windows.zip. I unziped it in V:AndroidInstall
When I go to the V:androindinstallandroid-sdk-windows> and type "SDK Install.exe" nothing happens...If I go this from graph
When I do this from a graphical file viewer I get a quick flash that looks like a command line window and nothing....
When I try to run android list targets from the tool directory I get:
Error: Error parsing the sdk.
Error: V:androindinstallandroid-sdk-windowsplatforms is missing.
Error: Unable to parse SDK content.
So the basic install setup is not happening.
Additional clues:
I have a G1 and Android 1.0 was running on this machine. (Almost a year ago) I've updated my G1 to 1.6 so I thought I'd update my SDK before starting new development.
When I tried to upgrade it tried and then died as the "directory was in use"
So I cleaned out all the android directories, rebooted and redownloaded everythign from scratch.
Now it won't run at all.
I've clearly got something in an unhappy state, but I've cleaned up all the directories and no remanants seem to be running I've rebooted....
I'm using the SAX parser to read some RSS feeds and have found a problem. Some feeds, for example CNN Money Top Stories, have embedded some characters in their content, i.e. the copyright symbol. Well, that's not valid XML and the SAX Parser fails with an exception "invalid token". The only help I have seen given is to fix the XML at the source and that's not an option obviously. So, I can think of 2 options and they both stink:
(a) read the content first, scrub it, and then pass it to the parser.
(b) Use DOM instead of SAX.
What I *want* to do is make the parser a little more forgiving and just accept or discard/ignore the bad text. I'm not have any luck with setErrorHandler. My error handler does not get called.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my SDK from 7 to 8. One of my applications uses Google GeoCoding, specifically the Geocoder object. After the upgrade, when I call the getFromLocation method, it doesn't return any addresses and I see a message in the logcat to the effect that GLS failed with status 20. My Google Maps API key is working fine because I'm seeing the map tiles, but GeoCoding is broken. It works fine if I run a previous (SDK 7) build of my app.

I am brand new to developing for android and have hit something of a stumbling block that I cant seem to get around.
Using the NotePad example, I have created my own ContentProvider to serve up data from a database that I will eventually host on a webserver. But that is lightyears away from where I am right now.
Just testing my ContentProvider has caused a bit of a headache that I cant solve. For some reason, when the provider calls SQLiteDatabase db = mOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase(); I get a null pointer exception.

I'm testing an app I'm developing and asked a friend to install on their device. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for them to help me out so I put the .apk up on my website for them to download to the phone (rather than making them download the SDK and use adb to install). The install of the downloaded .apk fails, complaining of a package conflict.
I have since gotten my hands on the phone briefly and I verified that:
* they have selected "allow unsigned apps" in settings
* there is no package with the same (or similar) name in data/data * installing via adb works with not a peep
* when I download the .apk to my phone the app installs fine.
It would be really nice to make it as easy as possible to distribute to people who might be willing to do me the favor of testing.
I tried connect to AP(DHCP componet is disabled) with Google dev phone 1. It fails to connect to that AP. Can't get a ip address from AP. I hoped the dev phone successfully connect to the AP, and assign own auto-ip by itself(169.254.xx.xx). But It didn't happened. I think it must be abnormal case. Is there any special way to get an Auto IP address?

I have a and Android project and its test project. I can run tests successfully in the emulator. As the Android project has dependencies on a third library project, I want to use classes of the third project in the test cases too. For this, I need to add a dependency from the test project to the third project as well. Compile-time this works, but when I do a remote run of my AndroidTestCase, all tests fail. For each test, I get a NoClassDefFoundError, but not for third project classes, but for a class in the Android project itself!
