In Virgil Dobjanschi talk during Google I/O he mentioned using Services for doing the fetching and then using a callback to notify the Activity when this was completed. He never went into specifics on how to implement this callback and I can't seem to find anything helpful on this topic anywhere. I think he said that you didn't need to ...
I have found various topics here and elsewhere on creating an intent for sending e-mail and that seems to be pretty straightforward. I'm looking for an intent to just launch any e-mail client the user might have. Here is the code I've seen for sending an e-mail (posted just for reference, this doesn't serve my needs as I don't want to s...

I made a javascript class that let me use gears or html5 (if available) storage to store an stringified json object. the code is ment to be use on Android 1.5 and 2.0. When I save many objects into gears, it's very slow even on a PC (google chrome / gears). The CPU doesn't go high but the page gets unresponsive for 45 sec. On a cellphone...
I'm using URLConnection to connect to the main server. The server implements digest authentication. If I connect to the server with java library, the connection is successful. But if I use the same code for android, the connection is rejected for the reason - username and password do not match. Here is the code for my Java project: imp...

here's a few things i couldn't figure out and could find anyone else posting them in the discussion: 1. In the new API ContactsContract.AggregationExceptions table does not really work for me: when I try to insert a row into the table, it gives me this error: 07-13 14:20:09.399: ERROR/XXXXX(3074): java.lang.UnsupportedOperati...
Hello folks, I'm running some code on the nexus one - and I am having a very strange issue. The "server" sends UDP packets out on the multicast socket that the phone is joined to. The phone receives and sends stuff to the multicast group fine, but it appears that the phone chokes when it receives a large number of packets at one time. ...

More Info: I create a custom AnimationSet (which I add 2 ScaleAnimations to when needed) and set at AnimationSet as the animation for an ImageView. I ...
I seem to be having some trouble transmitting files to an android phone using multicast sockets. The files vary in size, but none are more than 1MB. The algorithm that I am using is structured to handle for lost packets (by asking for those packets again) and out of order packets --- but sometimes it just doesn't work on android. Sometim...
Hello, I'm working in an application that (among other things) will connect to an specific device that is acting as an open Wifi Access Point and send some configuration commands to it. I'm currently creating the configuration for the network: WifiConfiguration config = new WifiConfiguration(); config.BSSID = bssid; config.priority= 4...
In general, I'm very impressed with Android's default text to speech engine (i.e., com.svox.pico). As expected, it mispronounces some words (as do I) and it therefore occasionally needs some pronunciation guidance. So I'm wondering about best practices for phonetically spelling out those words that the pico TTS engine mispronounces. F...

Think of a chess set app where you can touch and drag a chess piece to the target square. I've poured over the samples but I just can't seem to get it. I thought widgets might be the answer, but they are more for ...
I have a ViewFlipper with multiple views added dynamically. I override onTouchEvent (and onInterceptTouchEvent) in order to get the down, move and up events on the views, so I know when to animate left and right. Now everything works fine, except that there is a small flicker (one of the other views is displayed on top for a split secon...
I spend most of my time in an environment where I can package code with dependencies that are resolved at install time automatically. That's nice. I can install any item and the library needed to support it is automatically added if it doesn't already exist. In Android, this isn't yet possible, so I need another way to share some reso...
