View 5 RepliesI am currently working on an experimental camera app. I'm looking into implementing face detection at the moment and am currently weighing up my options.I have considered the OpenCV port available for android and using their face detection functions, but from demos I have seen of previous implementations the camera seems to lag a lot.Considering the camera on the HTC desire has face detecting, I know it must be possible to get at least a semi decent face detection system in place. I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion on how I could get the best results.Using an available library? Implementing a particular algorithm myself?

The n900, the hd2, and a black berry i seem to re-call. Is there any reason why the desire wouldn't be able to do the same? I would love to play final fantasy 7, to the point at which i'm tempted to try out an n900 for a few days (i've only just received my desire and would still be able to cancel...), I'm aware they're not playing at full speed yet, but am more wondering if people think the desire would be capable of running a playstation emulator, should decent software be written in the future!

There are some questions:
I have all my contact and calendar info in Outlook 2003 and not in any online account. So I will only sync the phone with PC.
- can Outlook Contact fields like birthday and notes sync to People in the phone?
- user manual said I can search on Last Name, First Name in People. Can I search in the notes field?
- can I search for events in the Calendar? If so, can it search the whole database, or just up to X number of years in the past?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAs part of an application that I'm developing for Android I'd like to show the user an edge-detected version of an image they have taken (something similar to the example below).To achieve this I've been looking at the Sobel operator and how to implement it in Java. However, many of the examples that I've found make use of objects and methods found in AWT (like this example) that isn't part of Android.My question is then really, does Android provide any alternatives to the features of AWT that have been used in the above example? If we were to rewrite that example just using the libraries built into Android, how would we go about it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've had a Milestone for about a month now and have noticed that it seems to have problems detecting that the USB cable has been connected.Sometimes when I connect it, to the mains charger or to a PC, it doesn't indicate that anything has happened - no USB notification and no lightning symbol on the battery to show that it is charging. If I power the phone off and then connect it the phone turns on and shows the USB notification.Has anyone else experienced this or should I look at getting the phone exchanged?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOn Froyo, we found that some new "Task Manager" apps are now using the ActivityManager.killBackgroundProcesses() to kill apps. When this happens, Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED is no longer fired. How can I find out that my application has been killed? I tried to start a service, and I do see this message printed in logcat:
W/ActivityManager( 2426): Scheduling restart of crashed service com.example.android.apis/.app.RemoteService in 20000ms
However, the service is never restarted as advertised, if the app is killed using the killBackgroundProcesses API. (If I go into adb shell and kill the service process, the service will indeed be restarted ...) This looks like a bug anyway, because the notification created by the app is no longer removed like in eclair (the StatusBarService, and a bunch of other system services, depend on the Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED broadcast).

View 9 Replies View RelatedReally general, very new to bluetooth. Can we have one android device broadcasting a simple 'hello' bluetooth network (maybe a radius of just a few feet) - then when other android devices come into that area, reply with a 'hello' back? The client devices moving through the 'hello' radius wouldn't need to be always be checking for presence. I'd let the user open an app and check for bluetooth networks nearby. If they find one of these hubs, they can then choose to broadcast back a hello.Is that at all possible? Any general info would be great.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a collision detection routine for an Android based game which is capable of handling complex concave curves in 2D. I use complex in this post to describe any non-trivial, arbitrary shape (beyond circles, squares, etc). My problem is that all of the various methods I have come across are either too simplistic to be realistic or too complex for a cell phone. At the moment I am favoring a tile-based scheme but I am having problems figuring out how to do this with convex curves that span several tiles and may have several line segments per tile. I gave some thought to representing the curves mathematically, with each tile being an interval of the function, but there will likely be points where the curve doubles-back on itself (think the big loop at the top of a pinball table that brings the ball all the way around the table and back the direction it came). My questions boil down to:
1. Does anyone know of a way of hit testing a given simple shape (e.g. a circle) against a concave series of line segments (shapes beyond circles can be figured out from there) beyond just a Boolean result?
2. What is the best way to represent large, complex shapes programatically? I am currently favoring an XML file describing my levels and the objects in them with shape/position/physics/etc. data to be parsed in during load time.
3. Is there an altogether better way of doing this beyond line segments?
The one saving grace in this conundrum is that I know the vast majority of the objects are stationary with, at most, three or four (usually one) dynamic objects moving around.
I am writing an application that will behave similar to the existing Voice recognition but will be sending the sound data to a proprietary web service to perform the speech recognition part. I am using the standard MediaRecord (which is AMR-NB encoded) which seems to be perfect to speech recognition. The only data provided by this is the Amplitude via the getMaxAmplitude() method.I am trying to detect when the person starts to talk so that when the person stops talking for about 2 seconds I can proceed to send the sound data to the web service. Right now I am using a threshold for the amplitude that if its goes over a value (i.e. 1500) then I assume the person is speaking. My concern is that the amplitude levels may vary by device (i.e. Nexus One v Droid), so I am looking for a more standard approach to this that can be derived from the amplitude values.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAccording to the MS website, Windows Media Player queries an MTP device to see what formats it supports. My Razr Maxx HD supports ogg and m4a. When attempting to sync WMP does not sync those files stating they might not be supported on the device. Being that I've had so much trouble in the past even getting any of the Android devices to be properly detected as an MTP device I'm worried this is a driver issue.I should be able to get WMP to at least convert them.
this is the device mis-reporting the formats, Windows not querying them properly, or an actual WMP issue? Would like to be able to get sync working without any conversions. Maybe there is a way to hardcode formats within the mtp inf file?
I was wondering if there is anyway to make SoundHound or Shazam to detect musics that played from Internet radio, ie "tunein" or alikes, that usually plays only if you plug your headphones in?
It seems SoundHound and Shazam can only detect incoming sound using the phones mic, so if nothing is going to mic it will not detect anything at all.
I saw in a post from a Sony Xperia user that he accidently made it working but i think its only for that particular phone.
Any workarounds/mods to make this work on any android device?
Is it possible to detect that the viewport is being dragged by a touch event?
Using the following code I am able to get the position of where the finger touched the screen, what node started the event and where it was dragged to. Which solves one of the problems but I would really like to detect when the user has dragged the page/window/viewport down.
