Android :: RequestLocationUpdates() Parameters?
Apr 20, 2010In requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this); if I put time interval and distance as zero, will this work, or shall I need to give a value greater than zero.

In requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this); if I put time interval and distance as zero, will this work, or shall I need to give a value greater than zero.
When i use LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates API and send geo fix form the shell (the one you obtain using telnet localhost 5554), device emulator receives location updates only two times and then get stalled. Have anyone faced and solved this issue?Also i can't send updates from DDMS perspective in eclipse. When i send manual location updates using Emulator control view nothing happens in emulator. In devices view running emulator is shown as online and i can see logs from it in LogCat view.
View 3 Replies View Relatedyou can subscribe to requestLocationUpdates via two ways one by specifing a PendingIntent the other is by using a LocationListener. When is advised the one and when the other?
View 1 Replies View Relatedin order to save some battery, I was wondering what happens if an activity registers a requestLocationUpdates and then the user (or the os) puts it in background or kills it. Will the location manger still be active and then will the pending intent still be fired? In other words, will the location manager still be alive even if its lancher does not exist anymore? I'd really love this scenario because allows me to link an intent service that handles the location updates without bothering of have something always running waiting for good news from location.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI set locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 60000, 0f, this);
It has an odd behavior, locationChanged gets called every second instead of any time close to 1 minute. Secondly, locationChanged gets called every second for like 10 seconds, then stops completely, the gps satalites icon disappears, then only resumes again when the screen returns from display timeout.
what's wrong? I'm currently on android 1.5.
I tried using both getLastKnownLocation and requestLocationUpdates to get GPS coordinates from emulator.

I am working on an app that has multiple tabs. In the first tab the user will enter values. In the other tabs it will display the results of calculations based off of those values.
Like in tab 1, the user will enter "3" and "2". In tab 2, the program will add them and display "5".
In tab 2 how do I access the ints "3" and "2"?
I'm programming an Activity that launches a second one through startActivity just like in the Forwarding example. The main difference is that I'd like to pass some data to the second Activity when starting it, for example an item selected in a list owned by the first Activity. I can't find how to do that. Am I missing something? I guess I do.

http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html
I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to format a link for my apps published by my company using this format. For searching by developer name, the doc says to use the following format:
market://search?q=pub:<Developer Name>
It also says it returns exact matches only. My publisher name is "Polyclef Software". I guess I'm wondering why Google can't make a market search feature that searches for substrings in the publisher's name, but aside from that, how am I supposed to format the link? Neither of the following work:
market://search?q=pub:Polyclef Software market://search?q=pub:Polyclef+Software
I've tried a number of variations now and nothing works.
I have a HTTP GET request that I am attempting to send. I tried adding the parameters to this request by first creating a BasicHttpParams object and adding the parameters to that object, then calling setParams( basicHttpParms ) on my HttpGet object. This method fails. But if I manually add my parameters to my URL (i.e. append '?param1=value1¶m2=value2') it succeeds.

I am developing an app that uses the phone camera, and I want to set the Flash Mode, if flash exists. From documentation, it looks like I need to call Camera.Parameters.getFlashMode() and check if it returns null to determine if flash exists. Note: getFlashMode() is supported from API level 5
However, when I try to run this app on a phone with cupcake, I get an error: 01-19 14:02:43.404: ERROR/dalvikvm(18891): Could not find method android.hardware.Camera$Parameters.getFlashMode, referenced from method ...
I tried to call this code based on SDK version as follows, but that does not work either. Looks like there is a class verification thats fails at init:

So now I am wondering if there is any other way to check if flash exists? or is there a way to conditionally compile code based on mSdkVersion?
I have the following xml object representing a ImageButton I try to inflate it and add it to a TableRow with the following code : Ok so I noticed that it didn't look as expected, so I fire up the Hierarchy Viewere and noticed that the ImageButton's actually have an layout_width = FILL_PARENT instead of WRAP_CONTENT, also the layout_gravity is NONE and there is no padding to be seen. Do, am I inflating it wrongly ? Or is maybe the new TableRow.LayoutParams() part doins omething wrong ? Code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedToday I met a problem, I need to pass a ArrayList<MyClass> from an activity to another. I dont know what the Intent exactly do when I use putExtra to pass in an ArrayList<MyClass> object. I guess MyClass need to implement Parcelable interface, so I just did it. But still, it does not work. Maybe I need to create a Bundle and then use Bundle's putParcelableArrayList method to put my ArrayList<MyClass> object in, and then pass this bundle as parameter of putExtra to the intent. So crazy! I am lazy, I just want to pass an ArrayList<MyClass> object simply, is there a simple way??
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have read a lot of stuff about launching Google Maps in Android. That's pretty easy:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("geo:38.899533,-77.036476");
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(it);
The problem is that the map is shown at a high zoom level and there is no marker on the map. So, if the user move a little bit or something happen, the point is lost. Is that possible to add a marker like this:
http://img.skitch.com/20100820-da3n4r7h5xbsu6bsx4p4ujjghc.jpg
or like this:
http://img.skitch.com/20100820-qg7k2m5wtwm3j5phphrgc8tb53.jpg
So I can be sure that even if the user move the map, he will be able to find this place again.
I'm trying to use the camera in an Android app using the 1.5 API. I want the camera to flash for every picture. However, when I looked at the API for camera.parameters, the setFlashMode() method is only supported for 2.0 and higher. Yet my Cliq XT, which runs 1.5, has a flash that I can set in the menu - I take this to mean there is a way to do this for the 1.5 API, though I was unable to find it.Does anyone know how to set the flash mode using the 1.5 API?

When providing a user on a mobile, a link to an android application via a web page, it is possible for params from the url to be passed to the app being installed.
I'm guessing the answer is no - but it doesn't help to ask.
