Checking out the phone

• Unpack the phone

http://www.google.com/support/android/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=28930

• Take a look at the sensors

• Install the battery - Do Not Damage My Phones!

• Charge the phone to 100%

• USB to computer

• USB to wall plug

•While charging, go through on-phone tutorial

• Do not sync to your Google

• Enable Location reporting

• Set Date and Time

• Register your device with OIT (or send me the MAC address)

• Home -> Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Status

Activity Lifecycle

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html

• Key loops

• Entire Lifetime

• onCreate()- onDestroy()

• Visible Lifetime

• onStart() - onStop()

• Foreground Lifetime

• onResume() - onPause()

• onPause() may be followed

by kill

Activity Stack

Intents

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html

• Requests made by an Activity to have the phone do something

• e.g., take a picture, look up a contact etc.

• Specified abstractly so that new software can answer the Intent

• Calling an Intent requires an Action and some data

• e.g., ACTION_DIAL, tel:555-1212 = use phone to call 555-1212

• An Activity can start an Intent

• A Broadcast Receiver can respond to an Intent

• An Intent is a message sent from one app to another

Simulating Sensors

Request Sensor Data by Intent

No Services that fulfill that Intent

• Simulating Sensors on the

Emulator requires:

Hardware Sensors

• Stage 2

• Start a new project on Android 2.3.3

• download the sensor simulator from

• http://code.google.com/p/openintents/downloads/list?q=sensorsimulator

• unzip the code into a lib directory

• add the sensor-simulator jar to your build path

• create a basic UI in xml

• launch the emulator

• load the sensor simulator into the emulator

• adb install SensorSimulatorSettings-2.0-rc1.apk

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

• Stage 2

• Give your application permission to use the Internet

in AndroidManifest.xml

• <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

• Start the sensor simulator on your computer

• java -jar ./sensorsimulator-2.0-rc1.jar

• Test the sensor software on the phone

• Make your application debuggable

• Run your application that requests sensor information

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

• Stage 2

What it looks like when it’s working (Stage 2)

• Playing a sound

• The key is the MediaPlayer call

• Do not instantiate more than one MediaPlayer object

• http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html

• Playing a sound

• You will need to get the audio media onto the phone

•One possible architecture for getting sensor readings

• Steps

• Create a U/I for the data

• Instantiate your Sensor Recorder

• Register for sensor callbacks

• Instantiate your UI Updater

• Have a timer occasionally run it
