how to replace Activity.managedQuery

Since getActivity().managedQuery is UI Thread Blocking, it gets deprecated in API 15.
So.... how to get the cursor for SimpleCursorAdapter ?!?!?
You can replace the Cursor with CursorLoader, but a lot of work is needed...
Maybe Google should consider restructure SimpleCursorAdapter to meet the loader structure in the next release....

AdMob 中 AdView 在 Proguard 之下的 "Proguard returned with error code 1"

多手升級一下 App 中的 Proguard version 同 AdMob SDK 立即出了:


Proguard returned with error code 1. See console
Note: there were 160 duplicate class definitions.
Warning: com.google.ads.m: can't find referenced class com.google.ads.internal.state.AdState
Warning: com.google.ads.m: can't find referenced class com.google.ads.internal.state.AdState
You should check if you need to specify additional program jars.
Warning: there were 2 unresolved references to classes or interfaces.
 You may need to specify additional library jars (using '-libraryjars').

先在 Project -> Build Path -> Export 中手動加入了
GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.2.1.jar
但那Error老在
又修改了一下 proguard-project.txt:
加入了:


-keepattributes *Annotation*
-keep public class com.google.ads.** {*;}
-libraryjars /libs/GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.2.1.jar

都无功而返:
只好學一下AdView 中的example 加入一些

-dontpreverify -repackageclasses '
-allowaccessmodification 
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic


-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet, int);
}

-keepclassmembers class * extends android.content.Context {
public void *(android.view.View);
public void *(android.view.MenuItem);
}


但是............
所以話AdMob 是 Google API 中最失敗的一個
次次要Update 都要花費一些時間.
最後只好問問全能的Google.

This problem started with AdMob SDK 6.1.0 and 6.2.1 (for Android). To fix the error, add this to your proguard.cfg file:

中文是叫大家加下會的一句在 proguard.cfg:

-dontwarn com.google.ads.**

Case Close.

Android :: Hide Virtual Keyboard on App Start ( 隱藏鍵盤)

最近在做一個睇星坐APP, 一開始有一個 edittext, 但一當 load activity 時就該edittext 就立即on focus 彈出 virtual keyboard
google 一下, 只要在Activity::OnCreate 中加入以下 code 即可 !!!


// hidden keyboard
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Set up DfpAdView/AdView of admob

教學有很多, 但大多十分多肺話, 所以我的十分精簡:

1) Reg On Admob site to get the Publisher ID -  a14exxxxxxxxxx

2) Mainfest.xml:
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
     <activity
            android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />

3) Add a LinearLayout called ad_layout to the Activity "XML" file that u want to show the ad.

4a) Add the code to the correspondence Activity "JAVA Code" file
   
    ------- Field -------
     private DfpAdView mAdView;

      I----- onCreate ------
      final LinearLayout adRow = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.ad_layout);
mAdView = new DfpAdView(this, AdSize.SMART_BANNER, "a14exxxxxxxxxx");
adRow.addView(mAdView);
mAdView.loadAd(new AdRequest());

4b) Change DfpAdView to AdView, if u want AdView

5) Override onDestory
     @Override
protected void onDestroy() {
if (mAdView != null) {
mAdView.removeAllViews();
mAdView.destroy();
}
super.onDestroy();
}

6) Run Test !!!!

PS: Add DfpInterstitialAd Later
