what are these clouds that float by on my screen every time I turn on the Droid? Did I miss something somewhere, is it a android thing or my weather program? How can I turn it off?

Specifically related to when/how often the backup is sent from phone to google servers, and whether that data is accessible from somewhere other than the DROID.I'm curious as to how to plan restores if a install a jacked up app.I've done a hard reset already, in an attempt to cure the 3g -> 1x issue, and was surprised the auto-restore re-installed my wallpaper without any type of user intervention.

WinMo user because up until now (2.2 release of Froyo) I have always assumed Android wasn't as elegant, capable, and smooth as Windows (YES, I WAS WRONG).So now that I'm ready to make the switch... does Android offer any service, through my Google log-in perhaps, to back up all my contacts to the cloud (with pictures and files as well, or is the data limited) I am with Verizon and have had this sluggish Touch Pro 2 for far too long, and have an annual upgrade I'm either going to put to use on with the Droid 2, or the X!
View 5 Replies View Relatedlooking for some educated feedback on this, is the droid really better in terms of power than the eris? i returned the eris because i thought it was too slow and didn't stack up to what the droid is, but was i wrong?
i look at the verizonwireless website and they have the same stats, except for the keyboard of course. but then i hear some htc users say that the eris is just as powerful as the droid and can do everything that the droid can in terms of performance. on the other hand i get people telling me that the droid is the 'powerhouse' and ive read that the droid is the 'high-end' phone. people have told me about better cpu/processor/memory - is this true and is it noticeable? and will it effect the phones longevity compared to the eris for the future? i heard that it will as more updates comes out... someone told me that the eris will never be up to par with the droid hardware wise and that the droid is the safe bet if you want the most from future updates ... also read that the eris will be 'long in the tooth' (old) faster.
All i want is a pure glass theme, no smoke, nada. a little notification line, thats all . I want the full effect of the wallpapers that I put on my Droid. Is that so much to ask? If I could do it, I would.

I also turned off the email notifications so I wouldn't hear the sound in the middle of the night and it still plays the sound.Are these things that need a reboot before they take effect or might there be an actual problem with the phone?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a JSON Object with a latitude and longitude String on which I get the values doing this: String latitude = picInfo.getString("latitude"); String longitude = picInfo.getString("longitude");Then I convert them to floats like this: float latInt = Float.valueOf(latitude).floatValue(); float longInt = Float.valueOf(longitude).floatValue();And place them on a GeoPoint like this: GeoPoint X = new GeoPoint((int) (latInt*1E6),(int) (longInt*1E6) ); Debugging this values I can see JAVA approximates the values, is there anyway to keep them exactly the same?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an EditText for which will be using for a float number. So I'm trying to read the text from the EditText and put it into a float variable. But I seem to have a text to float problem.I've tried using Float.parseFloat(string) and just general casting, but nothing seem to do it. What can I do here? Also, is there a way to check for a valid float number before writing it to a variable?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a game using Surfaceview and have a question relating to saving Data into a Bundle.
Initially, I had an arraylist which stored the Y co-ordinates (in the form of Integers) of sprites that will move only up and down. Declared as:
Quote:
static ArrayList<Integer> ycoordinates = new ArrayList<Integer>();
I saved them to a Bundle using the following:
Quote:
myBundle.putIntegerArrayList("myycoordinates", ycoordinates);
And restored them using this:
Quote:
ycoordinates.addAll(savedState.getIntegerArrayList ("ycoordinates"));
This all worked perfectly. However, I've had to change the whole coordinates system so it's based on Delta time to allow my sprites to move at a uniform speed across different screens. This is, again, working perfectly.
However, as a result of this change, I now have to store these values as floats rather than integers.
So, I am declaring as:
Quote:
static ArrayList<Float> ycoordinates = new ArrayList<Float>();
So that's the background, now my question is, how do I store and restore values from a Float Arraylist? There doesn't seem to be a "putFloatArrayList" or "getFloatArrayList".
(I've used an Arraylist rather than an Array as the number of sprites needs to be dynamic).
I have a unlocked unbranded brand new milestone I got couple days ago and it came with 2.0 firmware.So it installed no problems but compared to my nephews droid 2.1 from verizon his has the live wallpaper like mine does, but on his when you hit the screen of the live wallpaper you see the ripple effect but on my I dont.
Also Mines missing the speecn to text also, I dotn see a microphone icon in the virtual keyboard when in a text field, also when he holds the search button at the bottom a speak now command comes up for you to say something, anyone know why Im missing these?
I've read this in a few articles, that one should avoid floating point operations within the physics update of a game.
But how do you really achieve this? Surely all half decent games are going to involve this kind of maths?
Does it mean, convert all your variables to int, or use double instead, or simply just cut it out as much as possible?
I'm looking for a way to implement a minimum value in my SeekBar and also have the option to increment decimal numbers. For example, currently my SeekBar's minimum is set to 0, but I need it to start at the value 0.2. Also, I would like to have the functionality to be able to have the user select a number from 0.2 to 10.0 at a .1 precision so they can choose the numbers 5.6 or 7.1.
Here are the style attributes for my SeekBar:

Does anyone know how to get user input for floats,doubles,ints. I have tried looking everywhere on here and there hasn't been anything that could help me. All it has is EditText.GetText().toString() very frustrated that there isn't a tutorial for this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have an app where I put arbitrary strings in a database and later extract them like this:
CODE:......................
This works fine in all cases except for when the string looks like a float number, for example "221.123123123". After saving it to the database I can extract the database to my computer and look inside it with a DB-viewer, and the saved number is correct. However, when using cursor.getString() the string "221.123" is returned. I cant for the life of me understand how I can prevent this. I guess I could do a cursor.getDouble() on every single string to see if this gives a better result, but that feels sooo ugly and inefficient.
I just made a small test program. This program prints "result: 123.123", when I would like it to print "result: 123.123123123"
CODE:.................
Reading values like integers, strings, colors, etc. from resources (xml files) is easy and well defined at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resourc.... But what about a float value, like 0.1 or 1.4? How can such float value be defined in resource file and accessed from code? Is it possible at all?

The offending code is here, which formats a price for each item in the list: String price = cursor.getString(columnIndex); final float pricef = Float.parseFloat(price); price = new StringBuffer("$").append(String.format("%. 2f",pricef)).toString(); ((TextView)view).setText(price);
If I comment out the line with String.format, the garbage collection goes away. So what's the "right" way to do this to avoid allocations? That database field holds an unformatted text string which I'm trying to format into proper currency format (example: format "1.5" to "$1.50")
I'm new to Android development, and I was wondering if anyone knew either how to make Tabs slide, or how to get a similar effect without tabs. I have quite a few tabs in my application, and it does not look good on devices with smaller screens. Or maybe tabs are not what I am looking for. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'd like to reproduce something similar to Photoshop.com Mobile's effects screen. I know this is possible.

This phone does not take Micro SD cards but it comes with 50GB Google Drive storage. However i haven't used this at all. I am wondering whether i could download android apps and games to google drive, dropbox etc. Games like Real Racing take up about 1GB so i cannot download it to my phone. Can i download it to the Cloud? If this is not possible, is there any way that i could save the app data on the cloud. E.g. The Simpsons: Tapped Out is about 37mb to download off the play store, but then you must download the updates etc which are about another 250mb. is there anyway to save this 250mb on the cloud. Or any other games data.
