First Time To the Windows Developers Board? Start Here

Welcome to the (Windows, Android, Innovation) Forum for Lenovo Developers
First, let’s make sure you’re in the right place.
Want to create or modify an app for Lenovo devices and innovation technologies, and work through any challenges which may arise?
You’re in the right place. Post your discussion topic or question here.
Need help getting something to work as shipped, or reporting bugs with configs as shipped?
That’s a support discussion that belongs on the main hardware boards. We’ll be super-happy to help you, so please post those there.
You good?
Okay let’s continue:
What the Developer Boards are For:
We’re striving to build a global community of developers who are stoked about creating apps for Lenovo PC+ devices and Lenovo Innovation Technologies.
Peer to peer support is king. As with the main hardware boards, support, info, and moderation comes from the community, not Lenovo staff.
Sharing any "knowledge base" types of content you have created that would help the community.
What the Windows Developers Board Is For. We are obviously looking for Windows desktop and Win8 metro development conversations(duh! I know) , but here are some specific items we'd love to hear about from you:
Transition from developing Windows desktop apps to Windows 8 "metro style" apps. What has that been like, how have your workflows changed, etc.
Okay, so game developers, we love love love you! Fist bump, you rock,keep it coming... That said Win 8 videa, music, business, productivity, social media, developers, STAND UP! Lenovo wants YOU participating in this community! Post here and let us know what you are working on, how we can help, etc.
What it is not for:
Transacting business of any kind. We have several channels available to help sell and promote your app, but this forum isn't’t the right place. Mods get an 80% cut off the top of any business transactions posted here.
Hate speech, personal agendas, personal attacks, threats, antagonizing members, inappropriate content, and any generally knucklehead behavior will get you banned. (you'll also be subject to being forced to write code for an IBM PC Jr. until you’re rocking back and forth in a corner. ) In other words, the same rules that apply to Lenovo Forums apply to these boards. If you aren’t already familiar with the Lenovo Forums rules, get familiar here
How We Roll Here…
In general ,the vibe on these boards will be transparent, useful, challenging, and non-marketing-speak-ish. We try to save the “unique selling propositions” and “corporate-speak” to the marketing crowd. We try not to take ourselves too-too seriously as well.

I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?

I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen

I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen since the first screen. I did the start up, but using the comands on the keyboard. I think the laptop is configured to blind people. I just got at the desktop, but the mouse is frozen.

If this is a new machine, you have 14 days to return the machine for an exchange or a full refund. Your trackpad should work out of the box and what you're seeing onscreen may very well be settings for the partially sighted.

ExecuteQuery WhereClause problem for first time in the session of the page

I am new to OAF and I have panic problem.
I have two pages application like following..
First page “LookupTypes” and second page “LookupValues” for the selected first page Lookuptype.
The problem is when I press first time(after lunching the page/first time for the session) the button in “LookupType” page I am getting all the “Lookup Values” for all the lookup types instead of getting only for one Lookuptype and I will press “back” button in “Lookup Values” Second page to come back “LookupType” first page, Again immediately I will press the same button which I pressed first time, this time I will get correct number of records for one Lookup Type. I don’t know why its where clause is not working first time.
Please find the following code and help me.
First page is LookupTypes->second page is Lookup Values
Step 1 : I have button on “Lookup Types” page to call “Lookup values” page
Step 2 : “Lookup Values” page control to receive the parameters from lookup type page.
Step 3 : application module (AM) to execute the query..
Code :
Step 1 : I have button on “Lookup Types” page to call “Lookup values” page
Following is the code from “Lookup Types” control.
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
String paramLookupTypeAction = pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM) ;
String paramLookupType = pageContext.getParameter("paramLookupType");
OAApplicationModule PafLookupAM = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
//Adding calling LookUp Values screen
if (paramLookupTypeAction.equals("viewLookupValues") )
// PafLookupAM.invokeMethod("clearLookupValueMethod");
//Here we prepare the HashMap object, that cotains name of the parameter and the value of the parameters
HashMap phm = new HashMap() ;
phm.put("xxparamLookupType",paramLookupType);
phm.put("xxparamLookupTypeAction",paramLookupTypeAction);
pageContext.setForwardURL(
"OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/xxpaf/pafLookups/webui/pafLookupValuesPG"
, null //not needed as we are retaining menu context
,OAWebBeanConstants.KEEP_MENU_CONTEXT
,null //not needed as we are retaining menu context
,phm //pass the hashMap that contains values for all of the parameters
,true //retain AM
,OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_NO
,OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);
Step 2 : Following is the code from “Lookup Values” page control to receive the parameters from lookup type page.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
String paramLookupTypeAction=pageContext.getParameter("xxparamLookupTypeAction");
String paramLookupType=pageContext.getParameter("xxparamLookupType");
OAApplicationModule PafLookupAM = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
Serializable LookupTypeParamList[]= {paramLookupTypeAction,paramLookupType};
System.out.println("viewLookupValues 3 " + paramLookupType);
System.out.println("viewLookupValues 4 " + paramLookupTypeAction);
if ( paramLookupTypeAction!=null && paramLookupTypeAction.equals("viewLookupValues"))
System.out.println("viewLookupValues 5 " + paramLookupType);
System.out.println("viewLookupValues 6 " + paramLookupTypeAction);
PafLookupAM.invokeMethod("viewLookupValuesMethod", LookupTypeParamList);
          // Assuming the controller is associated with the pageLayout region
// import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.layout.OAPageLayoutBean;
     //     OAPageLayoutBean page = (OAPageLayoutBean)webBean;
     //     page.setTitle("Lookup Type: " + paramLookupType);
Step 3 : Following is the code from application module (AM) to execute the query..
public void viewLookupValuesMethod( String pAction, String pLookupType)
try
OAViewObjectImpl pervo = getPafLookupValuesEOVO();
String existingWhereClause = pervo.getWhereClause();
pervo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
pervo.setWhereClause("Lookup_Type = :1");
pervo.setWhereClauseParam(0, new String (pLookupType));
pervo.executeQuery();
pervo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
pervo.setWhereClause(existingWhereClause);
catch(Exception exception1)
throw OAException.wrapperException(exception1);
Best Regards,
Pathi TVB

Pathi,
Please try to have the WhereClause in the VO query as part of static definition itself. So you would only need to bind the parameter and execute the Query.
Try and let me know if that helped.
Thanks

Why the iPhone vibrates 2 times when the iPhone OS is starting?

Someone know why the iPhone vibrates two times when the iPhone OS is starting (and the apple logo appears)
In my case, this rare event occurs when a problem with an application (3rd party) force to iPhone to restart or when occurs a problem during the sync with iTunes. After this event, my iPhone never load (your OS) and the only way is the restore.
null

Amazing how much trouble when can get into by taking shortcuts before we understand something... isn't it....
Read the API and find out for yourself what events are triggered by a JButton......
Remember thsi advices:
1) Before using shorthand event handling, make absolutely sure that you understand the process back to front...
2) Write your own event, listener and implementer in order to get a clearer picture...
3) Until this is clear to you, always implement the appropriate listener and override the necessary methods....

Hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
Hopefully I was of some help:)

I made in app purchase, didn't work the first time, made the purchase a second time

I made in app purchase, didn't work the first time, made the purchase a second time

Whatever your question might be, no one here can help with in-app purchases. You need to get in touch with iTunes support. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933

My iPhone 5 gives a busy tone whenever someone calls the first time. The person has to call a second time for the ringtone to be heard? How o I tux this issue? I have a missed call every time and then a ringtone.

My iPhone 5 gives the caller a busy tone the first time when the phone is actually not in use. The caller has to make another call to get the ringtone. I will get the first call as missed with no ringtone and then the second time it will ring. What can be fond to solve this problem ?

HT3275 Using time machine first time and the estimated time says 25 days. Wow! Am I able to use my Mac when Machine is doing its first backup?

Using time machine first time and the estimated backup time says 25 days. Wow!
Am I able to use my MacBook Pro when Machine is doing its first backup?
I can't be without my computer that long. I would have withdrawal symptoms (very painful).

Something WAS radically wrong, but I don't know what it was. However, using Apple's disk utility, I decided to totally erase the Seagate, which was "pre-formatted" for Mac and PC.
I first saved the Seagate software to my hard drive just in case I needed it later (which I don't),
By the way, the first time I tried Time Machine it stalled after about 3 GB. The second time I got the message saying 25 days backup time. I stopped that backup after receiving your response.
After reformatting (extended - journaled) I made my third attempt. Success!!! It took about 8 hours, but went through without a hitch..
I bought the SeagateI because a momentary power failure messed up my 1 TB LaCie external, which was divided into 2 partitions. The power glitch completely fouled one partiton and it will not reformat no matter what I try. I did not do a full reformat because I did not want to lose the backup on the good partition. Now that I have a good backup I plan to do a full 1 TB reformat (without partitions) on the LaCie.
Thank you for your response, which really did help me.

I have Firefox for U3 and lately it keeps trying to instal an update, which fails and a 2nd window tells me another copy of F'fox is running (which isn't) and when I close the window F'fox starts anyway, but all this takes a lot of time.

I have Firefox for U3 on my Verbatim stick to run on whatever computer I happen to be using. Lately every time I try to open F'fox a window comes up saying "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments." The status bar indicates the update is progressing, 'though a bit slowly, then suddenly it's done and the window disappears, only to be followed by another window coming up which says "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on you computer and then re-start Firefox to try again."
If I press the 'OK' button OR press the Close button, the window disappears, but then F'fox starts up all by itself anyway.
How can I stop this updating problem happening every time and on every computer I use.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.
Filter: gfx
Some to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D
* set gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
