I still had some jitter issues with this solution. My solution was similar to yours – but only override onLayout.

@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
int viewsOnScreen = getLastVisiblePosition() – getFirstVisiblePosition();
if(viewsOnScreen <= 0)
super.onLayout(changed, l, t, r, b);

}

Sure, but that works only if you control the certificate for both apps. The whole point of intents is to engender cross-vendor cooperation in apps, though. In that scenario, signature protection is useless.

If your applications are signed with the same certificate, you can use permission with:

android:protectionLevel= ”signature”

Then, only apps with the same certificate can communicate with a receiver.

Thanks!

No, it’s not a silly question at all – but I’m afraid I can’t provide the answer. I don’t use Eclipse; I always feel it gets in my way of trying to just get things done. Consequently I can’t help with Eclipse.

The XML snippet belongs in build.xml; what I don’t know is how Eclipse treats that file. Worst case would be that it tries to (re-)generate it.

Nice post, thank you.

Anyway, I’m still wondering where in Eclipse to write the ”
…” part…Sorry if it is a silly question!

Comment on Android Development: Database Upgrades by unwesen

More importantly, you can test whether your upgrade actions are idempotent. That’s a rather useful trait for development, as well as production.

It’s always good to have alternatives!

I like the idea of copying, because then you’re in a known state. Not every upgrade action can be properly tested by just resetting the version number.

But for a quick test, your approach has the advantage. It certainly beats bumping the version number up and up!

Ingenious solution for a nasty problem. It’s possible a simple ‘skipLayout’ flag in onLayout() of your Coverflow may do the trick, but after a lot of effort, the solution posted here is the best work around I’ve seen yet for our case.

You’re right, this article was done about a rooted device, as the examples demonstrate.

The whole point was to not copy the database. If you want to copy the database, feel free. This post represents an alternative.
