Android :: Browser Application To Open And Display Content From Menu
Jul 13, 2009
Here's what I'm attempting to do. I have a menu and when a user selects a particular option in the menu I want the browser application to open and display the web page. However, I cannot seem to do this. My application uses a TabWidget to display its content (which works perefectly) but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open a link into the browser. I have tried adding a WebView to the TabWidget (but when I request it from the view by findViewById(...) I get a null.
I've also tried creating a separate view and performing a setContentView(...) and then I get an exception. I've also tried using an intent I've seen demonstrated on this group. It seems like this should be fairly easy, but I must be missing anything. I've looked at the sample apps as well as the Apps-for- android samples and have followed them to the T, yet still to no avail I cannot get the browser to open (or anything like that).

when user browses a web page and "right-click" a link, then user can choose to open the link with a different Application (except Browser).

Is it possible to disable title bar display dynamically after setting the content view by setting the NoTitlebar theme?
All the posts I have read told that any title bar changes we can make only before setContentView() call.

Is there a way (possibly using javaScript) to define an HTML button that will, once clicked, to open the Android Market application (the one with greenish icon)? For such a feature to work right we'll need, of course, a way to determine whether the client browser is running on Android.

I have an Options menu up and running in my Android application and I've overridden the onCreateOptionsMenu, onOptionsItemSelected and onPrepareOptionsMenu methods to customize the menu a little. My question is related to keeping the Options menu open after the user clicks on a menu item. Basically, I'd like to be able to hide the menu until the user clicks on the device menu key. Once the user clicks on this key, I'd like to be able to hold the menu in place regardless of how many times the user clicks on menu items. If the user wants to hide the Options menu, they'd just need to click on the device menu key again. Is this type of interaction supported (or even advisable).

I recently started Android programming and was working on my first program which displays a historic text document, sectioned by tabs via TabHost.I have limited my program to one activity and merely used setContent in my TabSpec's to switch between different XML views.The document has both unedited and corrected versions of the text for which I have built text views to accommodate. I wanted to implement the standard menu to have buttons to "view corrected" and "view original" and switch the content of the tabs which have changes (without altering the tabs or their indicators).I've read on the TabHost API and there is no way to edit existing tab content with setContent() of TabSpec; and AFAIK TabWidget only affects the actual tabs, not the content that is displayed upon pressing them.I've thought about creating a new class which extended TabHost and super() all of the original methods, while including one more which updated the mTabSpec list.

New HTC Desire, I have my Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and Apple MobileMe accounts running perfectly, but my main business account, info@companyname.com will download all emails, either in POP or IMAP but I have no idea on what the smtp. outgoing servers to set it at. and plus when I have it set on POP some of my emails will not display all the content, like a customers order, but on IMAP it will show the customers order.

I am working on an app where I would like to display HTML data to the user. The HTML includes CSS stylesheets and images (JPG and PNG), but no javascript and definitely no network access. The data is being read from a ZIP file on the sdcard. I initially assumed I could create a WebView and use that to display my HTML, but there seems to be no way to also pass in the style and image resources. Some posts I saw suggested creating a ContentProvider, but this has a few problems for me: a) security: I want to keep all the data inside this app. There's no need for a ContentProvider if I don't want other apps using the content, right? b) files: The ContentProvider's openFile() method returns a ParcelFileDescriptor, which can only be created from a Socket or a File. I have neither, I have an InputStream. So it seems there's no way to return the image and style data from a ContentProvider anyway.

I tried WebView.getSettings().setLayoutAlgorithm(LayoutAlgorithm.SINGLE_COLUMN); but view crashed in 1.6 OS. I calculate scale(webview.capturePicture()) but I cannot set it after page loaded. Is it any working solution for fitting webview content to display (1.6 OS)?

I am getting some HTML text from a remote server which I am displaying inside a WebView. I need to format the text display and set a font size and color for the WebView. The only way I can think of is: pre-pending the HTML string received with a tag and specify the font information there. What is the correct way to do this?

I am a bit of a novice but have managed to work a lot of things out about my HTC desire through this website but I am struggling with playing online TV and videos as well as downloading films onto my phone. Firstly I am a fan of channel 4 on demand and I tried to watch something a box comes up which says- 'shockwave flash- there is not enough free memory to display this flash content' -
Does this simply mean that I need a bigger micro SD card as I have only got the 4GB one enclosed with the phone, if it is as simple as that then could get an 8 or 16 GB microcard? Next problem is watching online films (for example from blinkbox.com), I can watch these on my laptop but my phone wont play them- do I have to install a special player to get these to work?
And finally I am right in thinking there is not an app like the iphone in which you can click and buy movies on the HTC desire? If not how do I download movies onto my phone or maybe download them on my laptop and transfer them to my phone?

I'm trying to handle the content not supported by the browser but for some reason I can't get my app to catch this intent... What do I need? Here is what the browser spits on the logcat:
Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android.intent.category.BROWSABLE] dat=http://listen.di.fm/public3/oldschoolhouse.pls cmp=com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity }
I have: <activity android:name=".myAppr"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:pathPattern="*.pls"/> </intent-filter>

I just got my HTC Desire the other day and I'm looking for a family friendly Internet filter (aka. Web protection, Net safety, Internet security) app for my phone that will block any mature content from the devices browser. At the moment I can't find anything- but I know these forums are the best on the web- so, if a net family filter android app exists, I know someone on here will be able to tell me about it!

Is it possible to have Google Play Music display cloud content only? Currently it displays both my cloud content and music stored locally so everything is duplicated.. Makes it hard to stream to my Chromecast, as it does not currently play local content, so I have to choose every other track to play via Chromecast.

I am using openContextMenu() when someone clicks on an item of a list (not when they long press as usual). The context menu does appear, however, it shows the context menu for the last item that the context menu had appeared. For example, if I long press the item C of the list then the context menu for item C appears, and later if I click on item B, with openContextMenu() the context menu for item C will again appear, not for B that I was expecting. How can I set the current item for which the context menu will appear to be the item of the list the user clicks on? I do have the position from onListItemClick() and I was trying to find a call like setContextMenuItem() or something, but I can't find anything.
