  • Can I user a layout on the android to render just part of an image at a time?

    - by gamernb
    I have an image file that has all the character sprites that I will be using in a game, and I want to make a layout that will allow the user to cycle through each image to be able to pick which one they want. So, I have one large image, and I need to render just a small (32 x 32) section of it at a time. Is that possible with the layouts or will I have to use a canvas, and manually do most of this?

  • Is there a design pattern to cut down on code duplication when subclassing Activities in Android?

    - by Daniel Lew
    I've got a common task that I do with some Activities - downloading data then displaying it. I've got the downloading part down pat; it is, of course, a little tricky due to the possibility of the user changing the orientation or cancelling the Activity before the download is complete, but the code is there. There is enough code handling these cases such that I don't want to have to copy/paste it to each Activity I have, so I thought to create an abstract subclass Activity itself such that it handles a single background download which then launches a method which fills the page with data. This all works. The issue is that, due to single inheritance, I am forced to recreate the exact same class for any other type of Activity - for example, I use Activity, ListActivity and MapActivity. To use the same technique for all three requires three duplicate classes, except each extends a different Activity. Is there a design pattern that can cut down on the code duplication? As it stands, I have saved much duplication already, but it pains me to see the exact same code in three classes just so that they each subclass a different type of Activity.

  • Android: Find coordinates of a certain point X meters from my location moving towards the point I am

    - by Aidan
    Hi Guys, I'm constructing a geolocation based application and I'm trying to figure out a way to make my application realise when a user is facing the direction of the given location (a particular long / lat co-ord). I've done some Googling and checked the SDK but can't really find anything for such a thing. Does anyone know of a way? Example. Point A = Phones current location. Point B = A's orientation in relation to true north + 45 + max distance towards the direction your facing, Point C = A's orientation in relation to true north - 45 + max distance towards the direction your facing. So now you have a triangle constructed. pretty schweet huh? yeah.. I think so.. So now that I have my fancy Triangle I use something called Barycentric Coordinates ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinates_(mathematics) ). This will allow me to test another point and see if it is in the triangle. If it is, it means we're facing it AND it's within the right distance. So it should be displayed on screen. If I'm facing 90 degrees from true north. The distance it travels should be that direction. 90 degrees from true north. It should not be 100 degrees or something from true north! But the problem is I haven't yet figured out how I make the device realise it must go "out" the direction it is facing.

  • Android - How to prevent the phone screen from turning on when volume or camera key is pressed?

    - by 2Real
    I have an activity that shows up when the phone screen goes to sleep/turns off ie turns black. For some reason, the phone turns on when the volume buttons or the camera buttons are pressed. By turns on, I mean the screen wakes up or comes back from the black screen state. I've tried using dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) and the buttons are disabled on the activity, but they still wake up the phone.

  • Is my way of doing threads in Android correct?

    - by Charlie
    Hi, I'm writing a live wallpaper, and I'm forking off two separate threads in my main wallpaper service. One updates, and the other draws. I was under the impression that once you call thread.start(), it took care of everything for you, but after some trial and error, it seems that if I want my update and draw threads to keep running, I have to manually keep calling their run() methods? In other words, instead of calling start() on both threads and forgetting, I have to manually set up a delayed handler event that calls thread.run() on both the update and draw threads every 16 milliseconds. Is this the correct way of having a long running thread? Also, to kill threads, I'm just setting them to be daemons, then nulling them out. Is this method ok? Most examples I see use some sort of join() / interrupt() in a while loop...I don't understand that one...

  • Android how do I wait until a service is actually connected?

    - by Ryan
    I have an Activity calling a Service defined in IDownloaderService.aidl: public class Downloader extends Activity { IDownloaderService downloader = null; // ... In Downloader.onCreate(Bundle) I tried to bindService Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, DownloaderService.class); if (bindService(serviceIntent, sc, BIND_AUTO_CREATE)) { // ... and within the ServiceConnection object sc I did this public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) { Log.w("XXX", "onServiceConnected"); downloader = IDownloaderService.Stub.asInterface(service); // ... By adding all kinds of Log.xx I found that the code after if(bindService(...)) actually goes BEFORE ServiceConnection.onServiceConnected is being called - that is, when downloader is still null - which gets me into trouble. All the samples in ApiDemos avoid this timing problem by only calling services when triggered by user actions. But what should I do to right use this service after bindService succeeds? How can I wait for ServiceConnection.onServiceConnected being called reliably?

  • android: how do i open another app from my app?

    - by mtmurdock
    I understand how to use intents and startActivity() when opening another activity within my own app, but how do you start a different app? specifically: -how do you determine if the user has the needed app installed on their device? -how do you start that app? -how do you pass parameters to that app? -how do you find all this info out for a specific app (say Adobe reader, or google maps)?

  • What is the most performant 2D graphics engine for use with Android?

    - by nbolton
    I have managed to make a hello world JBox2D application, and it works (I have some bouncing balls). However, I just read a comment on a forum post, which claims that JBox2D produces a lot of garbage, and so causes animation to be poor. Is this true? If yes, then what other 2D engines are available to me? I would very much like to use a physics engine for my 2D game, even if it's just a very simple one.

  • Android How do you save an image with your own unique Image Name?

    - by Usmaan
    This sounds like a issue a beginner like me would only have...this is my code... private void saveAvatar(Bitmap avatar) { String strAvatarFilename = Id + ".jpg"; try { avatar.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, openFileOutput(strAvatarFilename, MODE_PRIVATE)); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e(DEBUG_TAG, "Avatar compression and save failed.", e); } Uri imageUriToSaveCameraImageTo = Uri.fromFile(new File(PhotoActivity.this.getFilesDir(), strAvatarFilename)); Editor editor = Preferences.edit(); editor.putString(PREFERENCES_AVATAR, imageUriToSaveCameraImageTo.getPath()); editor.commit(); ImageButton avatarButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.ImageButton_Avatar); String strAvatarUri = Preferences.getString(PREFERENCES_AVATAR, ""); Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(strAvatarUri); avatarButton.setImageURI(null); avatarButton.setImageURI(imageUri); } This does save the image but when i go to look at the image on the sd card ti is called imag001 etc not the ID i am labelling it. How do i save the image with a name i want to call it? regards
