I am desperately trying to work around some unknown problem caused by our NDIS IM driver on WM6 and HTC TyTn ( TyTn at least, but most likely other devices as well ). I started some other threads regarding different facets of this problem, and no help is coming. Now I am just trying to work around it.
in short the problem is when power events happen the WLAN will never connect.
The work around is programmatically open the control panel with STControlPanel class and press the down button 1 time then the f1 key ( right dash ). This "presses connect" on the last configured access point. This works around my problem, however, I need to detect when the access point has connected. There is a "connecting" and "connected" message for the access point in this control panel dialog ( control panel # 17 ).
My Question: Is there some way to get this text "connecting" or "connected" from the control panel #17?
I have tried wzc, ndisuio, winsock, and other "non control panel" ways to detect connected state, but the IM problem fools all these methods. The only thing I have ever seen that successfully shows when the problem has occurred is the "connecting"/"connected" status in the control panel 17.
Please Help Someone.
p.s. If I can get this worked around, we sell a commercial grade ndis intermediate driver toolkit letting you easily write plugins without any of the hard driver details. We have redirectors, transparent proxy, tunnelers, virtual adapters, lots of good stuff. Also the same plugin will work on all windows desktop platforms vista - 98, WM5/6 and CE and also linux and solaris...

IT WORKS!
It works! You are my hero RStein. You are a god among men.
Great. ) Thanks for sharing the results.
I'm new to using cursors to obtain data from the device. I'm working on a music player (see market link in signature) and I need to be able to list (and eventually play) the music found on the sdcard. I have some code, but I can't seem to get it to work
Here's the code I found on a website, but it leads to a force-close:
public class TestingData extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
TextView view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello);
String[] projection = new String[] {
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME
, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED
, MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE
};
Cursor mCur = managedQuery(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection, null, null, null
);
mCur.moveToFirst();
while (mCur.isAfterLast() == false) {
for (int i=0; i<mCur.getColumnCount(); i++) {
view.append("n" + mCur.getString(i));
}
mCur.moveToNext();
}
}
}
Here's my attempt at fixing it, which still leads to a force-close:
public class test3 extends Activity {
TextView view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text1);
ListView list;
private ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
String[] projection = new String[] {
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME
, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED
, MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE
};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
ArrayList<String> _list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(projection));
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,_list);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
Cursor mCur = managedQuery(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection, null, null,
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME + "ASC"
);
mCur.moveToFirst();
while (mCur.isAfterLast() == false) {
for (int i=0; i<mCur.getColumnCount(); i++) {
view.append("n" + mCur.getString(i));
}
mCur.moveToNext();
}
}
}
What am I doing wrong? Both codes lead to a force-close and I can't think of anything else to do. Thanks in advance.
did you set the correct permissions in the android manifest?
*slaps hand to forehead* I always forget about the manifest. Lol. Ummmm....what all am I supposed to put in there for these codes? Do both codes look like they would accomplish the same thing?
Well, I've written hundreds of Cursors in Android and I don't run my loop like you do, so, as a suggestion:
Code:
Cursror c = yada, yada;
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
// TO DO HERE...
} while(c.moveToNext());
}
c.close();
Never had a problem.
Awesome! Thanks. Ill try it when I get a chance
i have an Appwidget that i have been working on in conjuntion with an Appwidget Config Activity that runs before the Appwidget gets placed. i have two buttons in the config activity. one for canceling out of creating the widget and one for making the widget. i am fine on the cancel button, but no matter what i do for my create button i cant seem to get it to make the appwidget.
how can i have a button create my appwidget inside my appwidget config activity?
----
ANSWER IN #3
Bump.
It would be logical to have finish() make the widget appear but it does not. Really need some help / direction with this
From something awesome
hope this helps others who are looking to make this happen.
Code:
private int mAppWidgetId = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);
setContentView(R.layout.gitc_config);
findViewById(R.id.create_button).setOnClickListener(mOnClickListener);
// Find the widget id from the intent.
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
mAppWidgetId = extras.getInt(
AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
}
// If they gave us an intent without the widget id, just bail.
if (mAppWidgetId == AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) {
finish();
}
}
View.OnClickListener mOnClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Make sure we pass back the original appWidgetId
Intent resultValue = new Intent();
resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, mAppWidgetId);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);
finish();
}
};
I have an expandable list view with 2 parents and 3 children. I want to open a dialog based on each click. I can't find any examples showing you how to call something based on positions. At least not with the ExpandableListView tutorial I followed.
Code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private LinkedHashMap<String, HeaderInfo> myDepartments = new LinkedHashMap<String, HeaderInfo>();
private ArrayList<HeaderInfo> deptList = new ArrayList<HeaderInfo>();
private MyListAdapter listAdapter;
private ExpandableListView myList;
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Just add some data to start with
loadData();
// get reference to the ExpandableListView
myList = (ExpandableListView) findViewById(R.id.myList);
// create the adapter by passing your ArrayList data
listAdapter = new MyListAdapter(MainActivity.this, deptList);
// attach the adapter to the list
myList.setAdapter(listAdapter);
// listener for child row click
myList.setOnChildClickListener(myListItemClicked);
// listener for group heading click
myList.setOnGroupClickListener(myListGroupClicked);
}
// load some initial data into out list
private void loadData() {
addProduct("Parent One", "Child One");
addProduct("Parent One", "Child Two");
addProduct("Parent One", "Child Three");
addProduct("Parent Two", "Child One");
addProduct("Parent Two", "Child Two");
addProduct("Parent Two", "Child Three");
}
// our child listener
private OnChildClickListener myListItemClicked = new OnChildClickListener() {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {
// Create a switch that switches on the specific child position.
// get the group header
HeaderInfo headerInfo = deptList.get(groupPosition);
// get the child info
DetailInfo detailInfo = headerInfo.getProductList().get(
childPosition);
// display it or do something with it
// custom dialog
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.cdialog);
// dialog.setTitle(R.id.titlebar);
dialog.setTitle(R.string.titlebar);
dialog.show();
return false;
}
};
// our group listener
private OnGroupClickListener myListGroupClicked = new OnGroupClickListener() {
public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
int groupPosition, long id) {
// get the group header HeaderInfo headerInfo =
deptList.get(groupPosition);
// display it or do something with it
return false;
}
};
I can get a custom dialog open if I click a child, but it's not set to any specific parent and child.
Any ideas?
EDIT ADD: Got it. Tried a switch/case like this and it worked. Finally! After two days of trying to understand it.:fingers-crossed:
Code:
switch(groupPosition) {
case 1:
switch (childPosition) {
case 0:
Intent protheanIntent = new Intent(Codex.this, CodexProthean.class);
Codex.this.startActivity(protheanIntent);
break;
case 1:
Intent rachniIntent = new Intent(Codex.this, CodexRachni.class);
Codex.this.startActivity(rachniIntent);
break;
}
case 2:
switch (childPosition) {
case 2:
Intent asariIntent = new Intent(Codex.this, CodexAsari.class);
Codex.this.startActivity(asariIntent);
break;
}
}

the problem is my ball doesn't move at all, but i see the line, once i remove the line:
Code:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
ballSpeedX = 0;
ballSpeedY = 0;
it works, but you know, after release it continues with same speed :! its like the ACTION_UP is always the case, !!! any idea why it doesn't work, how to stop the ball once the user releases the screen?
also sorry if this is not the right place. i searched the forums, i got confused i didn't find anyplace to ask this question so i tough this is the best place!
