Dec 26, 2009Just started developing apps and am having a small problem. I can test the apps on the emulator but I cannot test them on my physical android device. When I am asked to select a running device I get a device listed as: Serial Number/name:? AVD name: N/A Target: unknown etc,
It seems that my device is being picked up but not able to be used. When I try to run the app I get an "Must set android.target.avd" error.
Is there something I am missing?
I am using netbeans 6.7.1 on Ubuntu 9.10, everything up to date. I have a G2-Touch from T-mobile, if someone tells me where to find it, I will post any other needed information.
Physical Device Not Detected
Feb 28, 2014I just got 'my first app' working on Eclipse, but I can't use my physical device as a target. I have Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Samsung Galaxy Ace(aka Cooper), Win 7. Latest versions of Eclipse and ADT. On adb devices, it doesn't show up, only the emulator if that's on.
USB Debugging is turned on and I downloaded three different drivers: the one Windows automatically downloads, one using USBDriverTool and the Universal ADB Driver.
If it's relevant, I also had trouble installing the ADT plugin with Eclipse, I posted about it here in a separate thread.

Dec 3, 2009Is there always a concept of portrait mode for devices? If so, can we get what the height of the device is in portrait mode? I'm using this: DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics(); getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm); but width and height get swapped depending on orientation of the G1.

General :: Modifications To Emulate Specific Physical Device
Jan 24, 2014I'm working on a project that includes a test system for OEM devices. The supporting infrastructure is complete, however I'm having difficulties getting ROMs to run on the emulator. Of course the AVDs generated by the SDK work fine, but my next step is to run a binary intended for an OEM device. I understand that the emulator would require different drivers than a physical device, so I can't simply drop the same binary onto it and expect it to run.
Tweaking the AVDs generated by the SDK is about the limit of my knowledge. I've looked into pulling the system.img and other partitions from the ROM with ones from the emulator, but that doesn't work since the emulated hardware doesn't match what the drivers expect. I assume some modifications to qemu and some reverse engineering of the OEM ROM might be required to obtain my goal.
Assuming I have access to the binaries (but not the source) used by an OEM to construct their ROMs, what would be involved to obtain an emulator that matches the physical device, so I can run the compiled ROM on the emulator?
Android :: Specifying Relative Dimension Of Views On Device Screen Width - Height
Oct 8, 2009I am writing an android application that has 3 views one below the other. Each view has to be of equal height, depending on the screen size. Each view occupies the full width of the screen. How do you specify in the layout xml that the view has to take up 1/3rd height of the device display height? What would be the appropriate layout to use in this case?

How can I get the body (second EditText) to fill the rest of the screen, but still have the scrollview kick in when the contents of the body are too long? Like a height="wrap_content" and minHeight="fill_parent"
layout_height="fill_parent" seems to not do anything if you put them in a scrollview

I tried this and the EditText elements act like they are wrap_content and no filling is happening. Just scrolling if you type enough

Nov 15, 2010I want to put a button next to a EditText and I want their heights to match.For example, from the built in Android browser:
The Go button is the same height as the EditText field.I know I could wrap both these views in a parent layout view, and set both of their heights to fill_parent, and that would make them match.However, I would like to do this without having to give the layout a static size.I would rather have the EditText take whatever height it needs based on the font size and then have the button next to it match whatever height that might be.Is this possible with an xml layout?
Android : RelativeLayout Height Not Following GridView Height
Aug 28, 2010I am having problem with a GridView within a RelativeLayout, which is again within a ScrollView. The problem is that the height of the RelativeLayout is not following the height of the contents of the GridView. When there are more than one rows, the GridView is clipped and a scrollbar appears, which is undesirable. I have tried to illustrate my problem using an screenshot from the Android hierarchy viewer. You can see how the red RelativeLayout box has clipped the second row of the GridView. I am pasting the XML layout of the page (page.xml) and the individual grid item (griditem.xml). I have used the following code to inflate the grid items in the gridAdapter code:
CODE:.................
What I should do to have the height of the RelativeLayout follow the full length of the gridView?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Register For Multiple Sensors?
Oct 10, 2009A simple question: How do I register for multiple sensors? I just switched from registerListener(SensorListener listener, int sensors, int rate), which is deprecated, to registerListener(SensorEventListener listener, Sensor sensor, int rate). Previously, I could use " | " to indicate multiple sensors, but now " | " is undefined, so how?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Filtering Sensors Noise?
May 21, 2010I'm programming an Augmented Reality application. It's development it's in an advanced state but I can't place the icons on the screen so still as anothers programs does (Layar, in example). This is because of the continuous variations of the sensors. I've tried the three modes of the sensors (FAST, GAME, and NORMAL) but I only get them to move more or less fast. The shivering is the same at different speed.
Finally I thougth I could reach my goal with a digital filter, averaging historical values. But again the icons continues moving, specially the most far placed ones (in the z axis). Please, could some one help me with some clue?
General :: Control Wii With Android Sensors
Jan 12, 2012Last night i have downloaded Dolphin to play Wii Games. As you can imagine, play with the mouse is not as comfortable to emulate Wiiremote.
My idea is basically:
Control WII emulator with Android Sensors (As accelerometer, gyroscope, inclinometer) like Wiimote does
It seems to be quite interesting, I think that may be connectable by wifi and bluetooth with receiver (pc).
Android :: On Which Thread Callbacks From Sensors Executed?

Then i can see 10 times result of 'doing sth else!!!' and when loop is over i can see then result from activity. So sensor activity waits for some reason and then when main activity has nothing to do, sensors are doing their job.
of course I have well implemented: onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
I want to read sensord data directly, not using listeners, is it possible?
Android :: Sensors Don't Work On Partial Wake Lock
Jan 20, 2009The accelerometer turns off when the screen is off. I'm guessing this is a bug but I haven't seen it logged. Am I missing something?
Perhaps the power management features need some improvement - the ability to specify what components are needed during a partial_wake_lock so that power can be conserved as efficiently as possible.
BTW, there is a bug logged noting that onSensorChanged() continues to be called for the orientation sensor (during sleep) but the values are not being updated.
