android-4.4-kitkat

My app is streaming audio fine on all devices except Nexus 5. On Nexus 5, the MediaPlayer randomly stops playing. Not sure if the changes with respect to Loudness ( http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html#Multimedia ) in 4.4 has broken something. Is anyone else noticing this issue? Seems to be happening to some users, but I'm unable to reproduce on my own Nexus 5. UPDATE: So I was able to reproduce the issue on my Nexus 5. It seems to actually be happening near the end of the clip. With about 1 - 5 seconds left in the clip, the OnCompletionListener.onCompletion() method is

I am creating an emulator for Android 4.4 KitKat, but the emulator takes very long and isn't starting. I tried many devices like Nexus4, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S etc. but none of that worked. Just a black screen with the android logo for long time. Any suggestions? Unfortunately the emulator does take a very long time to load. A regular complaint amongst Android developers. It sometimes helps if you go into the AVD configuration and modify your KitKat emulator and tick the checkbox that says Use Host GPU . This makes it slightly faster. Also I've found that if you use the default RAM space that

I've checked the new Kitkat libraries to make sure that I'm not missing something. I want my application to always listen to a keyword before performing an action, just like how Google Now always listens for the keywords "Ok google" on the homescreen. How did Google accomplish this? What you need is called keyword spotting . Apart from online speech API Android has offline recognizer which is a bit more sophisticated. It is not mentioned in official documentation, but you can see the sources here , for example. I'm not sure you will find keyword spotting there, but at least you will have

From android studio 3.0 Android Monitor turned to Android profiler . But, when using google glass device or other android kitkat devices it's showing below message in android profiler window: Device not supported. Android profiler requires a device with API 21(Lollipop) or higher. What's the solution for Kitkat devices to use the latest Android Profiler once android studio 3.0 available for update in stable version? It seems that the Android Device Monitor (Tools->Android->Android Device Monitor) is still available. I am having difficulty running its memory monitor, although it does seem to

I'm trying to achieve the effect shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QHkv-bSlds&t=15m48s by Nick and the boys. I can get the action bar to be overlayed, but cannot figure out how to extend this to the status bar. I would also like to know how they managed the transparent black background behind the navigation bar (but this isn't as crucial). Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated as I currently have no idea how this is done (and am starting to worry it may just be an image rather than an actual implementation). Edit: i know how to make the bars fully transparent (thats the easy

EDIT: Before down-voting and implying things, please understand I cannot reproduce this error. This happens constantly on certain devices which I do not have access to, but not after a firmware reset! I recently discovered random crashes in an app I am developing for a customer. The app has roughly 100.000 active users now after 3 years. We've seen the crash on Nexus 4 and 5, both with Android 4.4 KitKat. We cannot reproduce it on our own Nexus 4 and 5 running 4.4. We've had a customer through our support. He told us the crash happens every time at the same place when invoking a new activity.
