I am trying to make an app that can work with or without the Google Maps API present. Eclipse gives me an error when trying to use android:option as an attribute (I have the latest SDK, I think, revision 6). Also, when I set the build target without the Google Maps library, I get an error from my class that extends MapActivity.

I've moved some of my common code into a library project so that multiple projects can access it. I created an empty project, set it to be a library in the properties screen, then imported some classes. Next, I created a new (non library) project and added my new library project to it. Immediately upon rebuild, I get the following error: ERROR: Unknown option '--auto-add-overlay' Android Asset Packaging Tool
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an Android library project that makes calls to PreferencesManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences.
I have 2 version of my app, paid/free, and they are not able to access the preferences stored by the library code.
Can someone tell me the right way to store values in SharedPreferences in library code and have the values available to projects that include the library?
According to this SDK guide, unit-testing a Library project can be achieved by creating a standard application project, reference the Library project and then instrument the application for unit testing. However, when I do this and launch the test application I get the message.No tests found with test runner 'JUnit 3".I'm using Eclipse and the Android ADT plugin, all latest versions.the projects compile just fine. The test project also installs fine to the emulator. But in the console I can see that it looks for <library>.apk, which of course doesn't exist since I'm compiling this as a library into the test project.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAs I understand, the three ways of distributing my application are via Jar, Android Library and Android Library Project.Jar - cannot contain resources or XML layouts (so this is out for me)Android Library - I don't really know how this works but the Google API uses it..Android Library Project - includes resources but allows the client free rein on the code as it is distributed as source.If I am to create a closed source application that requires drawables and XML files that I want to distribute to other Android programmers, what should I use? And can someone direct me to a tutorial on creating an Android Library?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got a mytouch 3g figuring it would handle voip like iphone and wm phones. But to my dismay, it appears there are no true VOIP apps for android that will allow me to call over wifi/3G from Germany.
I have read about sipdroid, truphone, skype lite, iscoot and others, but they all make a local call first, even to members of the same service -totally defeats the purpose. You'd be better off using a calling card!!
Anyway, just wondering if I am missing something. I got an android phone because I wanted to be part of something different, with great potential. I just didn't realize that it would be different in such a disadvantageous way...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been looking around today and am trying to find a VoIP application that will actually work.
Let's say, what if I got my phone shut off from VZW, would there be a way to make VoIP calls over wifi? I have seen posts about using Google Voice in conjunction with other programs. Also, Nimbuzz? Anyone have a positive approach they have used for this?
I will be going out of the US for a while and will be getting my VZW account inactive for a while. I am looking for a way in which I'll be able to still use my Droid Incredible to make calls to the US using wifi. I'd even be willing to make calls just to Skype friends or Nimbuzz friends. I am hoping that someone else has found a way to accomplish this.
Cause it doesn't.I have a service running an Asynctask to do some work. I bind to it from an activity and call a cancel method. The service, in turn, calls AsyncTask.cancel(true);
AyncTask.cancel returns true. Nonetheless, the thread is still running happily and still doing the things in doInBackGround, sending notifications along the way.
There is no sign that it attempted to kill the thread. I am not using NDK calls or anything that I think should stop if from taking down the thread. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a known issue?
I added android:fastScrollEnabled="true" to the xml description of my listview class. I was (probably mistakenly) expecting this to magically transform the scrolling of my really huge listview so that the thumb button and the indexes display on the right side.
Is there more to hooking up the listview so that the framework knows what its alphabetizing? I have custom defined cells.
I am coming from Windows Mobile 6.5 and was using PocketShield as my lock screen replacement. One thing that I am looking for in an android app is..
1. The ability to enter pin or pattern from the lock screen app while also displaying all the new features of the app. One screen to rule them all.
2. I now use WidgetLocker and it works great except that I have to enter the pattern after sliding my app. What is the point? Either I enter the pattern before I select the app from the home screen or after when sliding. I thought I was able to use the app on the slicker "outside" of pattern security.
How can you programmatically set the android:singleLine="true" property of a TextView?

I've got a ListActivity using the Theme.Dialog theme and windowNoTitle set to true.
Unfortunately, when I do this, the header rows (just normal rows in the list but they look like sub headers) refuse to fill_parent width (instead, they wrap_content - the header text).
I noticed this was not a problem when using the Theme theme so I started narrowing everything down to what was causing the problem.
The answer: windowIsFloating. Theme.Dialog sets this to true, and if I override this to false, then the headers happily fill the parent width.
Is there a way around this (because I would like to set windowIsFloating to true)?
would like to add a zoom control to the map. I also want to layout the position of the zoom Control instead of the default middle bottom position. I can do this by getZoomControl but it is deprecated.
Could anyone tell me how to do this with setBuildtInZoomControls?
Before asking my doubt, let me clarify my understanding of allowTaskReparenting...
Suppose there exists a Task (say Task 1) and this task has an activity (say Activity 1) which wants to call my Activity (say Activity 2). Let my activity (activity 2) set the attribute allowTaskReparenting to true and let my activity have a specific taskAffinity(affinity1). When Activity1 calls my activity (activity2), my activity becomes part of the task1. But suppose another task (task2) is already present/created with the same taskAffinity as mine (affinity1) and an activity in that task (say activity3) tries to start my activity, my activity gets re- parented to task2.
Not sure if i was clear enough. If i were to rephrase my words...
If my activity has allowTaskReparenting set to true and an instance of my activity is already present in task1. If task2 with the same task affinity as my activity tries to start my activity, the EXISTING activity gets re-parented from task1 to task2.
My quesions:
(1) Is my understanding correct ?
(2) If I am correct then a single instance of my activity gets shifted from task1 to task2. So 2 activity objects of my activity are NOT created.
When using a mediaplayer to play back an audio file, you can set looping to true - that's not the issue here.
If looping is set to true, there's still an audible gap between the file finishing and then starting again.
How could I achieve true gapless playback? I've attempted using two instances of the same file, overriding oncomplete and onseek.. can't seem to improve the gap though.
I'm dying here with the 5 minute (non-aGPS assisted) fix times and frequent losses of fix.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid AMF client library Aftek has extensive experience in developing enterprise Flex applications. We have used BlazeDS extensively and we believe that it would nice to provide all the benefits provided by AMF for Android applications as well. We have developed an Android AMF client library which would enable Android application developers use the same extensively. The Android AMF client library supports remoting and secured remoting. This will allow all android applications to use the existing backend like .NET, Java, or PHP. The implementation is asynchronous in nature providing success and failure callbacks. This allows application to perform other tasks without blocking the application. We are currently performing some performance benchmarking and plan to release our library very soon. We would also be incorporating the messaging feature as well.

I'm having a problem with my X10 ringtone. Instead of the normal ringtone I have set up and has been working normally since I started using the phone, I now get a horrible quick-beeping notification tone whenever I receive a call/text. have tried going into Settings>Sound&Display and re-selecting the appropriate ringtones and notifications but this makes no difference. I still get the fast beeping as my alert tone. When I check what tone is selected, my current tones are still set.Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it? I'm at my wits end what to do and would appreciate your expertise and suggestions.

After going out of town this weekend where my Incredible switched my "current location" to where I was, upon returning home the Incredible still shows that I'm in the other location. I've tried updating and such. I've even tried rearranging the areas (towns/cities). I've tried to delete the towns/cities. It still says I'm in the other city and nothing changes in the "first place/home screen" after rearranging/deleting.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am simply trying to find a photo viewer and slideshow app that does true fullscreen. Some people claim it's not possible. But the Youtube app does it perfectly with full screen video. No top bar and no soft buttons on the bottom of my 4.2.2 tablet.
So far all the apps I have tried, at best will hide the top status bar. But many apps of various uses, do that.
Any photo apps that can do this? And if there truly is none currently, I should start looking into what it would take to write one.

View 2 Replies View Relatedjust got home and my UPS package was waiting for me! Got my vibrabt tonight.My super amoled screen will not produce any true whites. Web pages and anything that should be white has a gray tone to it. Is this normal or is my unit defective?Quick update. After adjusting all the brightness settings the gray tone now looks like a blue tint. Anything that should be white looks either gray or a cool blue tint. Anyone else with this issue?
I've been comparing my vibrant to other vibrants. It appears not every vibrant has this blue tint, some do infact display warm whites instead of cool blues. I don't know why some Super Amoleds are displaying blue tint while others don't, but I think the warm whites produce a better result.
