Definite need for a Cupcake SDK & release details.

 The layout is actually working.

However, Cupcake has new assets for buttons (and other widgets) and it
happens that the minimum width of the buttons has changed. I don't
know how you set up your layout but it looks like you were relying on
that minimum size to get all the buttons aligned (which would be bad
since such a layout would break anyway on devices with different
resolutions and/or densities, but that's another topic.)

Definite need for a Cupcake SDK & release details.

by Al Sutton » Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:12:54 GMT


 omain,



I accept that it may not have been the best way of doing it, but my main

point is that many developers have absolutely no way of checking for

problems like this.



Now I am fortunate in that my company has a Linux machine that I can

download and build the SDK on, but I suspect there are many developers who

are either coding on Windows and don't have a spare machine to install Linux

on and build a cupcake SDK, or may not have the resources to download the

sources from git and run a full build.



Even I can't fully test my apps because the Linux box is a headless server,

and running the cupcake emulator images in the 1.1 SDK emulator installed on

the Windows desktops we have here does not bring networking up.



So please, please, please, can we have either a windows SDK, a method of

building a windows SDK, or something that will let us test our apps in

cupcake.



Al.

1. Stable contact identity & CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI

Hi Richard,

Lookup key is unique at any point in time.  It's not unique over time.

The anatomy of a lookup key is basically this.  If an aggregate contact has
three raw contacts with server-side IDs "A", "B" and "C", the lookup key
will effectively be  accountA/A.accountB/B.accountC/C

We don't attempt to find a contact with that exact lookup key.  We actually
parse it, find all those three raw contacts and infer the id of the new
contact ID, which will be the one containing the most of the original raw
contacts. In other words, even though the result is a bit unpredictable, the
user shouldn't be surprised by what they see.  The original contact had A, B
and C - now I am looking at something that has either A or B or C or a
couple of those or maybe A,B,C and D.

You are right that you should not use lookup keys to compare contact
identities to each other.  You can use the
ContactsContract.Contacts.lookupContact(resolver, lookupUri) method, which
will give you the current contact ID for your contact.  Be careful though -
between the moment you get it and the moment you use it the contact may
change.  Any kind of background sync could cause this change to happen.  I
would try to design the software in such a way that either doesn't need to
do this type of resolution or uses something even more robust than lookup
keys, e.g. raw contact IDs.

I hope this helps,
- Dmitri

2. data in xml res/raw

Hi !
I want to get the string in my xml and create button with this text.
But my code (below) doesn't work. I don't know why? there is an
exception : String array resource id #0x7F0400000
android.content.resources$NotFoundException: String array


Morever, I have used this method to store my data. But i 'd like to
know how save more data in this raw/files.

Thanks

Java:

     String[] myShowName = this.getResources().getStringArray
(R.raw.seriesname);

          Log.i("US Finder", "serie "+myShowName[0]);

          //for each element in xml create button
          for (int i=0; i<myShowName.length; i++)
          {
               Log.i("US Finder", "serie "+myShowName[i]);
               _btn[i]= new Button(this);
               _btn[i].setText(myShowName[i]);
               _btn[i].setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
               _btn[i].setOnClickListener(this);
               myLayout.addView(_btn[i]);
          }
