Android是一种基于Linux的自由及开放源代码的操作系统，主要使用于移动设备，如智能手机和平板电脑，由Google公司和开放手机联盟领导及开发。

gen already exists but is not a source folder. Convert to a source folder or rename it.

Android 代码中无意删除了 .setting文件夹，重建后提示

gen already exists but is not a source folder. Convert to a source folder or rename it.

查了半天，总算有个明白人

  1. Right click on the project and go to "Properties"
  2. Select "Java Build Path" on the left
  3. Open "Source" tab
  4. Click "Add Folder..."
  5. Check "gen" folder and click Ok and Ok again
  6. Again right click on the project and in the "Andriod Tools" click on "Fix Project Properties"

Android:多语言对应

我们建好一个android 的项目后，默认的res下面 有layout、values、drawable等目录

这些都是程序默认的资源文件目录，如果要实现多语言版本的话，我们就要添加要实现语言的对应的资源文件。

首先我们点击添加Android Xml File按钮，会出现下面的界面：

image

输入文件名：string.xml，选中Values单选框，并把下面左列表中的Region添加到左边的列表里面，并在Region输入框里输入cn，如下图

image

这时，上面的消息提示：如果用Region的话，需要使用语言项，和Region一样，我们把Language也添加到右面的列表里面，填入zh，如下图

image

点击Finish按钮，资源文件就会建好了，目录：res\values-zh-rCN（其实上面一大堆操作，就是为生成这个目录）

image

默认生成的string.xml的代码：

<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

<stringname="hello">Hello World, Test!</string>

<stringname="app_name">Test-Multilingual</string>

</resources>

修改刚刚生成的res\values-zh-rCN目录下的string.xml：

<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

<stringname="app_name">测试多语言</string>

<stringname="hello">你好 多语言测试</string>

</resources>

运行结果：

en-us：英文

imageimage

zh-cn：中国大陆

imageimageimage

zh-tw：台湾

imageimageimage

因为设置了region为CN，所以zh-tw的时候，没有找到res\values-zh-rTW的目录，加载了默认的res\values目录下的string.xml

这里只用了Values做例子，其余的Resource都可以，图片了，布局了等等

这里只是简单的介绍了一下多语言对应，剩下的大家自己深入研究吧！

Eclipse调试应用的时候显示Android源代码

在用Eclipse 调试程序的时候，一旦发生异常，往往在回退栈里面提示找不到源代码.

如下图所示

网 上搜索了一下，发现一个 fix_android_sdk.py 脚本，可以提取完整的java 文件到SDK 目录，尝试了一下，还是蛮有用的，可惜就是源代码只能看，不能设置断点。这个是用来编译ASE的一个脚本，里面的部分涉及到ASE的部分我们是用不到，并 且也没法用的，所以被我万恶的删除了。

1.首先要下载完整的Android源代码，建议下载一下，说不定哪天就用上了。

对 于以前的脚本进行了修改，然后现在可以判断当前的Android 的源代码版本了，如果定义过 "ANDROID_SDK_ROOT"环境变量的话，会使用环境变量中的值拷贝到制定的目录，比如Android 4.1.2 的源代码，现在可以拷贝到 Android-16 目录下面了，不需要再从android-1.5 下面拷贝出来了。 下面贴上最新的源代码脚本，供各位参考。

Android 编译环境设置，赶紧黏贴下来，免得被墙

原始网站https://source.android.com/source/initializing.html强调一下，该设置适用于SDK ，可以避免很多莫名其妙的问题。

Initializing a Build Environment

The "Getting Started" section describes how to set up your local work environment, how to use Repo to get the Android files, and how to build the files on your machine.  To build the Android source files, you will need to use Linux or Mac OS. Building under Windows is not currently supported.

Note: The source download is approximately 8.5GB in size.You will need over 30GB free to complete a single build, andup to 100GB (or more) for a full set of builds.

For an overview of the entire code-review and code-update process, see Life of a Patch.

Choosing a Branch

Some of the requirements for your build environment are determined by whichversion of the source code you plan to compile. SeeBuild Numbers for a full listing of branches you maychoose from. You may also choose to download and build the latest source code(called "master"), in which case you will simply omit the branch specificationwhen you initialize the repository.

Once you have selected a branch, follow the appropriate instructions below toset up your build environment.

Setting up a Linux build environment

These instructions apply to all branches, including master.

The Android build is routinely tested in house on recent versions ofUbuntu LTS (10.04), but most distributions should have the requiredbuild tools available. Reports of successes or failures on otherdistributions are welcome.

For Gingerbread (2.3.x) and newer versions, including the masterbranch, a 64-bit environment is required. Older versions can becompiled on 32-bit systems.

Note: It is also possible to build Android in a virtual machine.If you are running Linux in a virtual machine, you will need atleast 16GB of RAM/swap and 30GB or more of disk space in order tobuild the Android tree.

Detailed instructions for Ubuntu and MacOS follow. In general you will need:

  • Python 2.5 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.
  • GNU Make 3.81 -- 3.82, which you can download from gnu.org,
  • JDK 6 if you wish to build Gingerbread or newer; JDK 5 for Froyo or older.  You can download both from java.sun.com.
  • Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com.

Installing the JDK

The Sun JDK is no longer in Ubuntu's main package repository.  In order to download it, you need to add the appropriate repository and indicate to the system which JDK should be used.

Java 6: for Gingerbread and newer

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"

注意，该网址已经失效

更改为 

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse"

即可

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Java 5: for Froyo and older

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse"

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse"

$ sudo apt-get update$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk

Note: The lunch command in the build step will ensure that the Sun JDK isused instead of any previously installed JDK.

Installing required packages (Ubuntu 10.04 -- 11.10)

You will need a 64-bit version of Ubuntu.  Ubuntu 10.04 is recommended.Building using a newer version of Ubuntu is currently only experimentallysupported and is not guaranteed to work on branches other than master.

$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \ &nbsp;

zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \ &nbsp;

x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \ &nbsp;

libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \ &nbsp;

libxml2-utils xsltproc

On Ubuntu 10.10:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so

On Ubuntu 11.10:

$ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386

Installing required packages (Ubuntu 12.04)

Building on Ubuntu 12.04 is currently only experimentally supported and is notguaranteed to work on branches other than master.

$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \ 

zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \

libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \

libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \

python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so

Configuring USB Access

Under GNU/linux systems (and specifically under Ubuntu systems),regular users can't directly access USB devices by default. Thesystem needs to be configured to allow such access.

The recommended approach is to create a file/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (as the root user) and to copythe following lines in it. must be replaced by theactual username of the user who is authorized to access the phonesover USB.

# adb protocol on passion (Nexus One)SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e12", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# fastboot protocol on passion (Nexus One)SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0fff", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# adb protocol on crespo/crespo4g (Nexus S)SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e22", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"

# fastboot protocol on panda (PandaBoard)SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0451", ATTR{idProduct}=="d022", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# usbboot protocol on panda (PandaBoard)SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0451", ATTR{idProduct}=="d00f", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# usbboot protocol on panda (PandaBoard ES)SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0451", ATTR{idProduct}=="d010", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# adb protocol on grouper (Nexus 7)SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e42", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# fastboot protocol on grouper (Nexus 7)SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e40", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"

Those new rules take effect the next time a device is plugged in.It might therefore be necessary to unplug the device and plug itback into the computer.

This is known to work on both Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04.x LTS) andLucid Lynx (10.04.x LTS). Other versions of Ubuntu or othervariants of GNU/linux might require different configurations.

Setting up ccache

You can optionally tell the build to use the ccache compilation tool.Ccache acts as a compiler cache that can be used to speed-up rebuilds.This works very well if you do "make clean" often, or if you frequentlyswitch between different build products.

Put the following in your .bashrc or equivalent.

export USE_CCACHE=1

By default the cache will be stored in ~/.ccache.If your home directory is on NFS or some other non-local filesystem,you will want to specify the directory in your .bashrc as well.

export CCACHE_DIR=$path-to-your-cache-directory

The suggested cache size is 50-100GB.You will need to run the following command once you have downloadedthe source code.

prebuilt/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G

This setting is stored in the CCACHE_DIR and is persistent.

Using a separate output directory

By default, the output of each build is stored in the out/subdirectory of the matching source tree.

On some machines with multiple storage devices, builds arefaster when storing the source files and the output onseparate volumes. For additional performance, the outputcan be stored on a filesystem optimized for speed insteadof crash robustness, since all files can be re-generatedin case of filesystem corruption.

To set this up, export the OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE variableto point to the location where your output directorieswill be stored.

export OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE=$path-to-your-out-directory

The output directory for each separate source tree will benamed after the directory holding the source tree.

For instance, if you have source trees as /source/master1and /source/master2 and OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE is set to/output, the output directories will be /output/master1and /output/master2.

It's important in that case to not have multiple sourcetrees stored in directories that have the same name,as those would end up sharing an output directory, withunpredictable results.

This is only supported on Jelly Bean (4.1) and newer,including the master branch.

Setting up a Mac OS X build environment

In a default installation, OS X runs on a case-preserving but case-insensitivefilesystem. This type of filesystem is not supported by git and will cause somegit commands (such as "git status") to behave abnormally. Because of this, werecommend that you always work with the AOSP source files on a case-sensitivefilesystem. This can be done fairly easily using a disk image, discussed below.

Once the proper filesystem is available, building the master branch in a modernOS X environment is very straightforward. Earlier branches, including ICS,require some additional tools and SDKs.

Creating a case-sensitive disk image

You can create a case-sensitive filesystem within your existing OS X environmentusing a disk image. To create the image, launch DiskUtility and select "New Image".  A size of 25GB is the minimum tocomplete the build, larger numbers are more future-proof. Using sparse imagessaves space while allowing to grow later as the need arises. Be sure to select"case sensitive, journaled" as the volume format.

You can also create it from a shell with the following command:

# hdiutil create -type SPARSE -fs 'Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+' -size 40g ~/android.dmg

This will create a .dmg (or possibly a .dmg.sparsefile) file which, once mounted, acts as a drive with the required formatting for Android development. For a disk image named "android.dmg" stored in your home directory, you can add the following to your ~/.bash_profile to mount the image when you execute "mountAndroid":

# mount the android file imagefunction mountAndroid { hdiutil attach ~/android.dmg -mountpoint /Volumes/android; }

Once mounted, you'll do all your work in the "android" volume. You can eject it (unmount it) just like you would with an external drive.

Master branch

To build the latest source in a Mac OS environment, you will need an Intel/x86machine running MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or MacOS 10.7 (Lion), along with Xcode4.2 (Apple's Developer Tools). Although Lion does not come with a JDK, it shouldinstall automatically when you attempt to build the source.

The remaining sections for Mac OS X only apply to those who wish to buildearlier branches.

Branch 4.0.x and all earlier branches

To build android-4.0.x and earlier branches in a Mac OS environment, you need anIntel/x86 machine running MacOS 10.5 (Leopard) or MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Youwill need the MacOS 10.5 SDK.

Installing required packages

  • Install Xcode from the Apple developer site.We recommend version 3.1.4 or newer, i.e. gcc 4.2.Version 4.x could cause difficulties.If you are not already registered as an Apple developer, you will have tocreate an Apple ID in order to download.
  • Install MacPorts from macports.org.Note: Make sure that /opt/local/bin appears in your path BEFORE /usr/bin.  If not, add 
    export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH

    to your ~/.bash_profile.

  • Get make, git, and GPG packages from MacPorts: 
    $ POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 sudo port install gmake libsdl git-core gnupg

    If using Mac OS 10.4, also install bison:

    $ POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 sudo port install bison

Reverting from make 3.82

For versions of Android before ICS, there is a bug in gmake 3.82 that prevents android from building.  You can install version 3.81 using MacPorts by taking the following steps:

  • Edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf and add a line that says 
    file:///Users/Shared/dports

    above the rsync line.  Then create this directory:

    $ mkdir /Users/Shared/dports
  • In the new dports directory, run 
    $ svn co --revision 50980 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/gmake/ devel/gmake/
  • Create a port index for your new local repository: 
    $ portindex /Users/Shared/dports
  • Finally, install the old version of gmake with 
    $ sudo port install gmake-3.81

Setting a file descriptor limit

On MacOS the default limit on the number of simultaneous file descriptors open is too low and a highly parallel build process may exceed this limit.

To increase the cap, add the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile:

# set the number of open files to be 1024
ulimit -S -n 1024

Android源代码在Linux下的下载脚本

在下载Android源码时老是断断续续，很是烦人！不过有人写了一个shell脚本很好的解决了这个问题，其内容如下：

#!/bin/bash
echo "======start repo sync======"
repo sync
while [ $? == 1 ]; do
echo "======sync failed, re-sync again======"
sleep 3
repo sync
done

放到Android路径，执行./文件名 就可以了，又是需要更改权限chmod 777 文件

这段脚本很简单，首先先执行repo sync，如果失败了，就会发出错误退出信号1，由while捕获，判断如果是错误退出就继续，否则完成。主要就是“$?”这个变量，是由上一个执行完的命令返回的退出状态。

这部分脚本仅仅用来同步文件，其他步骤严格按照Google的说明来操作即可。

Ubuntu 12.04下配置HAXM加速Android模拟器

本来以为要下载安装程序，结果发现是通过配置KVM来实现的，废话少说，附上原文，由于国内经常被和谐，因此复制原文还是有必要的。

原文地址 http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/03/12/how-to-start-intel-hardware-assisted-virtualization-hypervisor-on-linux-to-speed-up-intel-android-x86-gingerbread-emulator

How to Start Intel Hardware-assisted Virtualization (hypervisor) on Linux to Speed-up Intel Android x86 Gingerbread Emulator

      The Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel® HAXM) is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor) that uses Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) to speed up Android app emulation on a host machine. In combination with Android x86 emulator images provided by Intel and the official Android SDK Manager, HAXM allows for faster Android emulation on Intel VT enabled systems. HAXM for both Windows and IOS are available now.

Since Google mainly support Android build on Linux platform (with Ubuntu 64-bit OS as top Linux platform, and IOS as 2nd), and a lot of Android Developers are using AVD on Eclipse hosted by a Linux system, it is very critical that Android developers take advantage of Intel hardware-assisted KVM virtualization for Linux just like HAXM for Windows and IOS.

Below are the quick step-by-step's on how to install, enable KVM  on Ubuntu host platform and  start Intel Android x86 Gingerbread emulator with Intel hardware-assisted virtualization (hypervisor). The result is very pleasing and AVD runs significantly faster and smoother than without hypervisor

KVM Installation

I referred the instructions from Ubuntu community documentation page. to get KVM installed.To see if your processor supports hardware virtualization, you can review the output from this command:

$ egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

I got 64. If 0 it means that your CPU doesn't support hardware virtualization.

Next is to install CPU checker:

$ sudo apt-get install cpu-checker

Now you can check if your cpu supports kvm:

$ kvm -ok

If you see:
"INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used"

It means you can  run your virtual machine faster with the KVM extensions.

If you see:
"INFO: KVM is disabled by your BIOS
HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT),
and then hard poweroff/poweron your system
KVM acceleration can NOT be used"

You need to go to BIOS setup and enable the VT.

Use a 64 bit kernel

Running a 64 bit kernel on the host operating system is recommended but not required.
To serve more than 2GB of RAM for your VMs, you must use a 64-bit kernel (see 32bit_and_64bit). On a 32-bit kernel install, you'll be limited to 2GB RAM at maximum for a given VM.
Also, a 64-bit system can host both 32-bit and 64-bit guests. A 32-bit system can only host 32-bit guests.
To see if your processor is 64-bit, you can run this command:

$ egrep -c ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo

If 0 is printed, it means that your CPU is not 64-bit.

If 1 or higher, it is. Note: lm stands for Long Mode which equates to a 64-bit CPU.
Now see if your running kernel is 64-bit, just issue the following command:

$ uname -m

x86_64 indicates a running 64-bit kernel. If you see i386, i486, i586 or i686, you're running a 32-bit kernel.

Install KVM

For Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) or later:

$ sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils

You may ignore the Postfix Configuration below by selecting "No Configuration"

Next is to add your <username> account to the group kvm and libvirtd

$ sudo adduser your_user_name kvm

$ sudo adduser your_user_name libvirtd

After the installation, you need to relogin so that your user account becomes an effective member of kvm and libvirtd user groups. The members of this group can run virtual machines.

Verify Installation
You can test if your install has been successful with the following command:

$ sudo virsh -c qemu:///system list
Your screen will paint the following below if successful:
Id Name                 State
----------------------------------

Start the AVD from Android SDK Directly from Terminal

Now start the Android for x86 Intel Emulator using  the following command:

$ <SDK directory>/tools/emulator-x86 -avd Your_AVD_Name -qemu -m 2047 -enable-kvm

Only a 64-bits Ubuntu can allow you to run allocated Memory of 2G or more. My 64-bit Ubuntu has 6G of Memory, so I used 1/3 of it for Android AVD. My AVD name is Intel_Atom_gingerbread_2.3 . '-qemu' provides the options to qemu, and '-m' specifies the amount of memory for the emulated Android (i.e. guest). If you use too small value for that, it's possible that performance is bad because of frequent swapping activities. Add '-show-kernel' to see the message from the kernel.

Start the AVD by AVD Manager in Eclipse

Below is procedures recommended by Google. If you are running the emulator from Eclipse, run your Android application with an x86-based AVD and include the KVM options:

    • In Eclipse, click your Android project folder and then select Run > Run Configurations...
    • In the left panel of the Run Configurations dialog, select your Android project run configuration or create a new configuration.
    • Click the Target tab.
    • Select the x86-based AVD you created previously.
    • In the Additional Emulator Command Line Options field, enter: 
      -qemu -m 2047 -enable-kvm
  • Run your Android project using this run configuration.

Android 中控件的ID问题

一直在看IOS，以及MTK等的代码，习惯性的自己定义一个ID，Android下面针对ID的自动生成反而有些茫然，如下：

<TextView
	android:id="@+id/MyTestView02"
	android:layout_width="wrap_content"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"	
	android:layout_marginBottom="83dp"
	android:layout_marginRight="42dp"	
	android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/MyTestView01"	
	tools:context=".TestStringActivity" />

这个  android:id="@+id/MyTestView02" 中的 MyTestView02 应该从哪儿指定呢？

刚刚开始是自定义累一个 IDValue.xml文件，然后从文件里面指定ID的编号，结果，当调用findViewById(R.id.MyTestView02) 的时候，总返回NULL

看了看代码发现，其实这个MyTestView02 只要你指定就可以了，至于是什么 ，编译器在扫描XML的时候会自动指定一个数值。关键在这个“+”符号。

看来，写多了代码，不见得是个好事，尤其是养成了习惯。

Android资源文件中的"+"号

Android 资源文件中经常看到如下描述

<TextView
	android:id="@+id/textView" 
	android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:text="@string/hello"
/>

对于其中的 “+”不甚理解，查询了一些资料，得到如下结论

@+id/textView的加号(+)表示，textView可能还不存在，如果确实是这样，则创建一个新id并将其命名为textView

注意这个 textView可能还不存在，如果确实是这样，则创建一个新id并将其命名为textView 这句话是说在R.id 这个文件中创建一个名为textView 的变量数字

关于Android模拟器键盘不能使用的解决方法

很多朋友遇到一个问题，自己搭建完了Android环境后，启动模拟器体验Android系统，但是发现不能使用键盘方便的输入内容，如下图：

同时，使用笔记本的键盘也无法输入内容，只能通过模拟器内置的输入法输入内容，遇到这个问题怎么办呢？

解决方案，编辑模拟器

构建AVD的时候，在Hardware选项中，有个New按钮，选中，其中的Property选项中有设置很多模拟器所支持的东西。有个“keyboard support”，选中，OK后。设置其指为“Yes”。问题解决了。
