I'm doing bluetooth development for connecting with a PC. I've basicly used the BTChatExample and changed the UUID to the standard PC SPP-profile. Trying to close a bluetooth application during a blocking read, by closing the BluetoothSocket will leave the Bluetooth stack in a unusable state. This can only be fixed by disabling and ena...
It appears that glColorMaterial() is absent from OpenGL ES. According to this post (for iPhone), you may still enable GL_COLOR_MATERIAL in OpenGL ES 1.x, but you're stuck with the default settings of GL_FRONT_AND_BACK and GL_AMBIENT_AND_DIFFUSE that you would otherwise set with glColorMaterial(). I would be OK with this, but the diffuse...
I want to include personal health record of the users in our app and need to connect to google health. I have looked at the version-2 of the alpha release for gdata java client code but the example shown for picasa is not so helpful for google health. Thats because the Picasa class has a authentication token but Health class does not. ...

I've built an Android app in the past (on a Windows machine using Eclipse), but having downloaded Ubuntu, the Android source and built it successfully (whew), I'm not sure how to tie it all together. How do I load my app into the Android that I've built? ...
Hi, I am playing with the Demo SoftKeyboard the comes with the Android SDK. In portrait mode when the candidate view is shown, it doesn't move the app up as the default android keyboard does. Hence it covers part of the application view. What should be changed in order to make the candidate view in the demo softkeyboard behave as the ...
I am trying to implement text to speech by following this article on the Android Developers Blog. It suggests the following code for installing text to speech data if it is not supported. Intent installIntent = new Intent(); installIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA); startActivity(installIntent); This throws...
I'm interested in knowing how much the IPC mechanisms are meant to be exposed to the outside world. That is, if I wanted to impersonate a dalvik VM instance without having my app actually written in Java, am I allowed to do so, or will the protocol change the next time I look away from the screen? If it's allowed, what are the stability ...
I recently tried out the applicationCache / offline web apps on Android 2.1's WebKit and unfortunately it does not work exactly like on a webkit on the iPhone. I was wondering how I can easily see what features should be implemented and if there is something like a roadmap? Does that information somewhere exist? ...
Hello, I'm a writing a program to add a new way of communication such as MMS/SMS or SIP phone to Android. Is there a way to add an icon in the QuickContactBadge menu, when clicking on a contact photo in the Contacts application ? I wasn't able to fully understand how it works from android sources ... Is the list of icons only popula...
I am trying to figure out what is the correct (new) approach for handling the Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON in Froyo. In pre 2.2 days we had to register a BroadcastReceiver (either permanently or at run-time) and the Media Button events would arrive, as long as no other application intercepts them and aborts the broadcast. Froyo seems to s...
I know that you can setup accounts in Android 2.0+ and thats great but as i have recently found out, it can create duplication. My phone(Sprint HTC hero 2.1-upadate1) comes with HTC Sense and thats great, it also has Peep pre-installed and it asked me when i setup the phone to add a twitter account, and so i did. I can now open peep and...
I've seen quite a few posts askign this question on SO but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer (or at least an answer I like!) I've got content protected behind basic auth (username/password) -- I can download it fine using the various HTTP download clases but for the life of me I can't sort out how to tell media player to stre...
Hello all, Can someone tell me if this is a bug in the SDK/IDE: Any custom or extended layout I add to my layout XML causes the IDE to ignore the fact that there are any child views of that layout (they just disappear from the outline view/window), thus making them uneditable via the properties view/window. (I need to extend a layout to...
I know with Android 2.x there is the ability to tap into Microsoft Exchange, for at least email, if not calendar and contacts. I would like to see how this was accomplished. Particularly because Microsoft Exchange exposes SOAP web services, and I understand there is no native Android support for SOAP. Since this is open source, should...
I am attempting to use a custom font for a TextView on Android, following the guide here and here. Using the same font, same code, same everything, I get this in adb logcat: W/dalvikvm( 317): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001d800) E/AndroidRuntime( 317): FATAL EXCEPTION: main E/AndroidRuntime( 317): ja...
Hello all, This is probably an easy one. I have about 20 TextViews/ImageViews in my current project that I access like this: ((TextView)multiLayout.findViewById(R.id.GameBoard_Multi_Answer1_Text)).setText(""); //or ((ImageView)multiLayout.findViewById(R.id.GameBoard_Multi_Answer1_Right)).setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); My question i...
Occasionally when I have a lot going on in my app, and I am playing a number of sounds using SoundPool, my app just completely freezes. Looking at the logs, I see this: I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 56): AudioHardware pcm playback is going to standby. My app must then be force closed and restarted. Does anyone know what may be causing t...
Are there any UI design guidelines for the upcoming Android tablets? Looks like the Archos 7 will be available sometime this month. My question is not about supporting the screen size but more about providing a more appealing UI interface for a bigger screen device. Thanks ...
