Android development questions

Ok developed a game app for IOs IPad, works great used 1024 x 768 landscape, NOW I have to deploy to Android but I'm not sure of the sizes to do. For instance, I did NOT do an IPhone app for this as the text and buttons are way to small for IPhone so it would be safe to say that I should NOT deploy for Android phones which leaves just tablets.
Unless there is a way to have the user pinch out the stage to make the stage bigger?
If I cannot the closest I see to doing this right is this article
Supporting the multiple screen sizes of multiple devices in Adobe AIR | Adobe Developer Connection
But where do I put this code?
any help?
RCD

This is EXACTLY what I needed thanks! But, do I add this
<manifest ... >
    <supports-screens android:smallScreens="false"
                      android:normalScreens="false"
                      android:largeScreens="true"
                      android:xlargeScreens="true"
                      android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="600" />
    <application ... >
    </application>
</manifest>
to my xml file which now has this?
<android>
        <manifestAdditions><![CDATA[<manifest><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/></manifest>]]></manifestAdditions>
    </android>

DROID 3 - Souper Android Development app

Have been searching for a resolution to an issue that I found when browsing the updates for my apps. When browsing my apps i found an app i had not downloaded and am unable to uninstall it from my phone. The app is called Souper Android Development and i have not been able to find a way to remove it from my phone. Has any found a resolution to this issue.

Ann154: Doesn't work. This app randomly appeared in "My Apps" on my Droid 3 a day or two ago, without a title, icon, or uninstall button. Nothing matching it appears in Settings > Applications. Google for '"Souper" Android Development' (put "Souper" in quotes so Google doesn't autocorrect) and look at the articles on DroidForums.net and xda-developers.com. Here's what I can glean from what I'm seeing:
1) This only seems to be affecting Droid 3 users for some reason.
2) The app suddenly appears in "My Apps" in Google Play without any permission given by the user.
3) The app has no title, no icon, and is from developer "Souper Android Development".
4) Apparently the app used to appear as being from developer "Brett Henderson", but changed to "Souper" within the last day or two.
5) No uninstall button is provided in Google Play.
6) No corresponding app appears in Settings > Applications.
7) Some people are reporting drained batteries, possibly from Google Play constantly trying to update, but I have not experienced this.
8) Some users have reported performing a master reset on their phone, only to have the "app" reappear.
9) It is unclear what, if any, function this "app" performs, let alone malicious.
Google seems to have been goofing around over the last couple of weeks with how apps appear in "My Apps", especially with updating inbuilt apps. I half-wonder if this is some glitch on Google's part, and there really isn't an unauthorized app sitting on my phone, just some bogus record associated with Google's app store.
Anyway, regardless of what this "app" actually is (or isn't), Google/Verizon needs to squash this pronto, because there's a lot of upset Droid 3 users out there worried that some unauthorized app has just deposited itself on their phone and could be doing who knows what.
And if this app has appeared on your phone, make sure to scroll to the bottom of the app's page and "Flag as Inappropriate", with "Harmful to phone or data" as the reason. If those reports pile up, Google will have to take notice.

Widget Development Question

I need help setting margins on my widget with CSS. I have messed around with the margin properties of CSS, but how do they work in a widget environment? When the CSS is in a widget, would the margin be counting from the edge of the background image? In Safari, the margin counts from the edge of the viewing window.
Please Help.
Thanks

Hi, the Apple Discussions are really meant for end users of Apple technologies, so it's usually hard to find answers to development questions here.
However, Apple does have excellent mailing lists (listservs) covering all their technologies for developers. If you post your question to "dashboard-dev" at lists.apple.com, you'll be sure to find a lot of helpful answers there. You can also try the forums at dashboardwidgets.com. Good luck!

Development Question Pertaining to Discoverer and Oracle Apps

Hi All,
I have a Disco Development question. First of all I am in an Oracle Apps environment.
Here is my situation. I received a specification to make sure our End User Layer has the capability to create a workbook
which has the following information in it:
1. Onhand inventory by lot information using the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Demand pegging (from the msc_demands table) associated with this onhand inventory.
3. Accounting cost information (GL_ITEM_CST information).
4. They also want more detailed item master information information (e.g. catalog descriptive element information and costing category).
Here is a solution to address this:
-Take existing inventory by lot views we have and use the the gmf_period_balances table in lieu of the mtl_onhand_quantity_details table. Within this same
view, add pegging information. This has been implemented in a development environment.
-Take existing costing views (using the component_cost_details table) and replace with the gl_item_cst.
-Take existing view associated with item detail information and make sure all catalog descriptive elements and costing category information have been added.
My next main dilemma for this problem is to address the best way to join these views in the Discoverer end user layer. Here are the approaches I see:
1. Encapsulate the item detail information with the onhand, period end with pegging view. Next, create a join with the costing view.
     pros: In my testing of this, the totalling works with extending item costing (item cost x onhand inventory).
     cons: Refresh times and scalability of this solution are concerning (consider a couple of people using this at the same time). Also, there is no nice
     way to join these two views (there is a n x m relationship between these two views). For instance, the costing calendar is used in the accounting costing
     view, and the general ledger calendar is used in the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Abandon a two or three view approach. Create an uber view which encapsulates the onhand quantity, pegging, standard costing and item detail information.
     pros: A more simpler end user experience which should then allow for the totalling to work.
     cons: Very easy for an end user to obtain a result set which is part of a cartesian product (e.g. multiple general ledger periods are included in this workbook
     with multiple costing periods). Doubtful that this workbook would be refreshable.
3. Fan trap solution which would be some variation of onhand view being joined to an item details folder which is joined to the pegging details updated.
     pros: Without too much work, I am able to get this to work, except totaling.
     cons: Totaling.
     Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding the best approach.
     Thanks,
     Patrick

Hi,
Where you have complex joins I would always go for a single view. It keeps Discoverer simple and allows you to concentrate performance effort building the view. Generally you can build in conditions to stop a cartesian product.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Android App development question

I am wondering id it is possible to debug an android app over usb debuging. I have the emulator but it's slow and i'd rather debug on my phone but i didn't know if it's possible to push the build on the the phone vs the emulator

First, let me just say from a word of caution that you should ALWAYS debug in a controlled environment before pushing to an actual device. And with Android devices, they can vary from build-to-build and from manufacturer to manufacturer. It is not always as simple as an iOS or desktop OS development for that reason since the hardware and network dictate more than the OS manufacturer.
Now that the obvious is out of the way you can package up the android app and then transfer the package to your phone for further testing. Dreamweaver only signs the apps with the debug certificate. So with that package you should be able to install it on your device. In order to sign it for distribution and get it into the Google Market you must follow the steps laid out from the Google Developer site: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html .

Unicode question for Android development

I am embedding Arial Unicode typface to display Armenian characters on my HTC Desire HD phone. Armenian is not supported by Android OS yet (Desire HD is running Android ver.2.3). At the moment on the emulator it displays characters properly. When i am trying to check same application on the phone it displays squares instead of characters.
I am curious if i am embedding type into my application does it make an application independent from OS supported locales ot typefaces installed on the phone?
Thanks,
Mika

I need linux to package the apk for me because I will be changeing some files like some xml files in the bin folder and then I need the new files repackaged again... the linux will be used as a server side packaging for us... get the idea?
I've been using 3.0 in the xml namespace and it created "app.air" for me on the linux! I know I must put the -target apk to the "adt" call but when I set the -target method, it throws many errors!

Beginning Android Development

Im looking at developing some simple image based games for android but unsure where to start.
I come from a vb.net and directx background and currently develop games for windows. Id like to convert (rewrite) some of my windows games for the Android platform. So Im guesing ths will be a total rewrite using actionscript. I developed several flash5 apps 7 years ago so have a basic understanding of actionscript (from within frames on the timeline). Ive installed Burrito and developed the standard 'hello world' app which runs fine on my Samsung Galaxy S.
I want to write simple games in pure actionscript. So my questions are -
Must this be done by creating an 'Actionscript Mobile Project'?
Must i use views (which appear to be like vb forms)? I dont want to use any of the standard controls ie buttons, listboxes, textinput etc.
At first glance there seems to be a lot of things that i dont need for writing games. I dont need the view (i assume??), action bar, mxml layout tags etc etc.
Sorry for my ignorance in advance, i havnt looked at flash/ actionscript for over 7 years and its changed lots since flash5!! All the dev i did previously hung off the timeline etc.
Does anyone know of any good resources to get me moving quickly? Or any good books etc? There seems to be lots of info out there, im just finding it hard to find the best direction.
Thanks in advance

hi
you dont need to use a mobile project (any AIR-based project will work). The mobile projects use optimised components (View etc) to reduce processor overhead but apps will still work with standard components (just more slowly). if you are writing games and dont need many ui components then you should be ok with a standard AIR project.
regarding getting up to speed with actionscript3, i suggest http://www.adobe.com/devnet.html. there are plenty of tutorials to get you started (lynda.com is good too, but you have to pay for it)

Android development in Flash CS5, help needed.

Hi,
so I'm relatively knew to developing Flash applications that run on Android and have a lot of unanswered questions (Google has been searched!). Basically I'm building an MP3 player for my dissertation that will run on Android 2.2 using the extension for Flash.
The main question is, is it possible to load a song from the SD card into a flash application using a button in the flash document? if so,
is there anyone that can point me in the right direction as how to do this? any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Hi,
Use the below code to load and play an audio:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
s.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
/* testAudio.mp3 is located at the same path where the .swf file is placed */
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("testAudio.mp3");
s.load(req);
function onLoadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var loadedPct:uint = Math.round(100 * (event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal));
    trace("The sound is " + loadedPct + "% loaded.");
function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
    var localSound:Sound = event.target as Sound;
     /* Play the audio */
    localSound.play();
function onIOError(event:IOErrorEvent) {
    trace("The sound could not be loaded: " + event.text);
For better understanding of Sound Class refer the link :
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Sound.html
For how to load a file from SD in AIR 2.5 for Android :
import flash.filesystem.File;
var file:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("music/testAudio.mp3");
if (file.exists) {
     trace(file.url);
     s.load(new URLRequest(file.url));
Hope it helps.

Acrobat for Android - License question

We are going to use acrobat on some Android devices connected only to corporate network (no Internet connection) and each device is going to be used by many users.
I have downloaded the APK file from Adobe, and published this as test to the devices using Mobile Device Management. We contacted Adobe support if this was OK license vice, but was asked to post the question here as they did not support the mobile versions...

What? Acrobat for Android, I don't think so.
There is an Adobe Reader for mobile devices only you can download for free.

Oracle BAM 11g - Deployments and development questions

Hi!
I have few questions related to Oracle BAM 11g developement and deployment processes. We are going to use that together with Oracle SOA Suite 11g ( BPEL / BPM processes), and now my questions are related to development phase:
1. If we have two or more Oracle BAM developers with their own Oracle BAM server instances, and we would like to share our development work, should/can we you same database repository to share the reports, data objects?
2. How we can copy Oracle BAM Data Objects, Reports etc from one environment (dev) to other environments (test, accept test, integration test, production) ? In software deployment projects (like Spring or Grails web-projects) we have used version control system and CI to build packages to different environments etc. How is the Oracle BAM deployment process actually "planned to be" since it uses its database repository to store objects and reports ?
3. The Oracle BAM itself has nice reports etc (Oracle BAM Client) that can be used using IE browser. How if we have to show/include those reports from Oracle WebCenter Spaces ? Is it possible and how?

Hi,
Were you able to find the answer to your questions? Especially the one, showing BAM reports in Webcenter Spaces?

Signing problems on new android developer console

Hi, I'm facing a problem while submitting apps created with AIR 3.7 to the google play. The apps are being self-signed as provided by AIR, using the certificate creation and packaging functionality provided by adt. However, when I try to upload them to google play I receive an error message about the lack of signing.
The strangest thing is that this only happens if I use the new developer console interface (the default one now). If I go back to the old interface, the upload process is completed and the app is published as it was on the past. Had anyone face this? Is this a known bug of AIR packaging or of the new google play publish interface?

Hi, Nimit, the problem persists even with the latest version of the SDK. It's a quite strange problem, indeed. The app I sent to Google play using the old interface - and accepted - became available and installs with no problems on Android devices - new installations or updates from previous versions. I contacted Google about it without success... Here is a screenshot of the problem on the new developer interface:
The application name is Managana (and also ManaganaR - the same problem for this one too). Here are the direct links for them on Google Play, both working since they were uploaded with the old developer console layout:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.art.ciclope.managana
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.art.ciclope.managana.remote
The certificate was created with the following command line on Windows:
adt.bat -certificate -validityPeriod 25 -cn Managana 1024-RSA Managana.p12 [my password here]
This very same certificate file was used on all previous versions of the sofware, and I never got any problems using it...

Sql developer: question about exporting data

Hi,
we're recently working with sql-developer. i've got a question about how we can export query results to txt/csv files for use in other applications.
First a problem: if we start a query that looks like this:
select * from
select * from A where start_date = &date
) a,
select * from B where start_date = &date
) b
where a.name = b.name
Sql-developer asks twice to input a value for the variable 'date', although it's the same variable and it's supposed to have the same value.
We solve this by making a script:
first we define the variable, then we put the query.
When we start the script, the query runs ok and sql developer asks to input the value for the variable once.
But now the result of the query is shown in the script output. The script output seems to be limited in number of lines and difficult to export.
So my question is: what's the best way to export query results to txt/csv files, avoiding the problem mentioned above?
i hope there is a solution where we can use a single query or script.
Thanks in advance!

Using bind variables like ":date" should solve the problem of being asked twice for the same thing.
Executing the query normally (F9), gives you the export options you require through the context menu inside the Results grid.
Regards,
K.

SQL Developer question

Hi Folks
I am using SQL Developer tool. I have a procedure with compilation errors so i can see that procedure with red X mark in SQL Developer tool.
When am clicking on the procedure it is going to the editor there i can see "code"."grants","dependencies","references","details","profiles" tabs
But i can't able to see "Errors" tab in the editor. And main thing is i didnt see any red lines in the editor for the invalid procedure
And when i recompiled that procedure it got recompiled successfully and that red x mark is vanished.
Here my question is the "Errors" tab is only appears when the procedure/function/package has errors and surprisingly i didnt see any red lines in the editor for invalid procedure (may be my proc has no errors).
ps: i have asked this question in sql developer forum but i posted here as you may work on this
Thanks

AJAX / future development questions

Even though AJAX is as much Web (html, xhtml, dhtml), JS, and XML as it is Java 2EE, I figured this main forum was the best place to ask a few questions (we should have a future tech discussion area. (I didn't see one but sometimes I can't seem to find anything, lol)).
I've been writing AJAX servlets for the last couple of weeks (more or less). It isn't bad at all but it isn't as easy as regular servlets and web 1.0 stuff. Companies like IBM, Sun, Microsoft.... are getting ready to deploy new AJAX centric development tools. The only named development tool that I know of is "Atlas" which is being developed by Microsoft engineers. I'm sure Sun and IBM are doing the same thing for future versions of WSAD / NetBeans because this type of technology is the future.
What do you guys think of AJAX and any future development tools for it that you know of?
Do you think this, along with a few other publicly disclosed technologies (comming in the next 5 - 7 years) will lead to a tech boom, surpassing the Web 1.0 days ( I do, the 1.0 days will be swamped by this and a few other new technologies )?
Sorry for the non-technical questions but I'm bored today, and I'm stuck at my desk for the next hour or so.

Even though AJAX is as much Web (html, xhtml, dhtml),
JS, and XML as it is Java 2EE, See... you lost it right there. AJAX is not J2EE at all. Not one bit, not in any way shape or form. Yes, you can use J2EE stuff to service AJAX requests. But you can swap that J2EE stuff out with ASP or PHP or plenty of other things without effecting what the AJAX stuff does.
I figured this main
forum was the best place to ask a few questions so in that light, not really... but go on...
I've been writing AJAX servlets You mean servlets...
for the last couple
of weeks (more or less). It isn't bad at all but it
isn't as easy as regular servlets and web 1.0 stuff.How's that? It writes XML instead of HTML. That's not a very big leap.
Companies like IBM, Sun, Microsoft.... are getting
ready to deploy new AJAX centric development tools.
The only named development tool that I know of is
"Atlas" which is being developed by Microsoft
engineers. I'm sure Sun and IBM are doing the same
thing for future versions of WSAD / NetBeans because
this type of technology is the future. Sun's Java Studio Creator, or was it Studio Enterprise?, I believe has some AJAX support build in.
What do you guys think of AJAX and any future
development tools for it that you know of? AJAX is very cool, and it opens up a whole new way to deal with web content, to be sure. But while this does lend a little more support to the notion of creating web applications which behave more like regular applications (sounds like a Dr. Pepper commercial), I don't think that it'll make as good as it could be without things like threading in Javascript.
Do you think this, along with a few other publicly
disclosed technologies (comming in the next 5 - 7
years) will lead to a tech boom, surpassing the Web
1.0 days ( I do, the 1.0 days will be swamped by this
and a few other new technologies )?The discovery of AJAX (I say discovery, cuz it's been in browsers for a while now without anyone knowing about it) is already changing the web. But I while it'll lead to a lot of sites being reworked to work with AJAX, I don't think it's going to bring on a new golden age on the net.
Sorry for the non-technical questions but I'm bored
today, and I'm stuck at my desk for the next hour or
so.Isn't that what Solitaire is for?

GUI Development Question

Hi everybody!
I'm quite new in ALBPM and I have some questions about it, especially about user interfaces.
I've been developing JSP aplications (using MVC frameworks) for a long time, and I can't figure out how does it fit in the ALBPM world.
What's the paradigm for GUI development? At first, I believe the screenflow should act like the controler, the BPM object is the model, and the custom JSPs are the views.
But... sincerely for me, the Screenflow/BPM object/Custom JSPs seem less flexible than a regular MVC (Struts, JSF, ...)
My question is: Is it mandatory to use screenflows, or I'm able to use a MVC architecture inside ALBPM? If it's possible how should I implement it?
For example: I have a custom JSP with some menu items, and this items are links to other JSP pages. This behaviour should
be modeled using screenflows or can I use another approach? What's the best practice for this task?
In MVC architecture, the menu will be inside an html form with an action pointing to a servlet (a controller). And what about screenflows?
Well, I'd like to hear some opinions about this, especially because i'm triyng to get used to BPM paradigm, and in my opinion the best approach for this is hearing from people who had experienced this situation.
Thanks in advance

The reason for this is due to our JVM. This application is being developed for an embedded system. There are no swing components in this JVM environment for a couple reasons: size constraints and possible license issues.
