Android :: How To Determine If Impossible To Get GPS Fix Location?

Jan 18, 2010

For example, I am inside a building and I want to get my location with the accuracy of 0.75 (Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE) and this will use the gps if my gps is on. Since I am inside a building, gps won't work. How can I determine if it is really impossible to get a gps fix location?

Is onLocationChanged(Location arg0) will be called even though no gps fix location was received when using LocationListener? Is it possible to use a timeout in requesting gps location so that I can shift to network as the location provider if i can't get any location?

Android :: Way To Accurately Determine Which City In US The User Is In Using Location Manager

Oct 14, 2010

I am trying to determine the city in USA the user is in using their current location from an Android App. I want to use the GPS as the location provider but how accurately can I determine the name of the city from the Locale or Latitude / Longitude data.

For instance I noticed the twitter app determines you are in Manhattan when tweeting from Manhattan, but is it possible to retrieve New York City instead of Manhattan from the location data and likewise Los Angeles instead of Beverly Hills.

This is because all I need to determine is which city the user is in as per the current location.

Android :: Impossible To Write Something On A Field

Oct 8, 2010

I have build a sort of split view for one of my android applications. I have made an activity which is a container of a listview and a framelayout. I use the listview for a menu and in my framelayout, I load views of different activities. I have read the source code of the TabHost for building this system.

Activities that I load in my framelayout could contain a webview.

The system work pretty well but I have a big issue. When I click on a field in a webview, the soft keyboard doesn't appear and typing on the physical keyboard has no affect.

I have made many many researches and I found nothing.

Android :: Impossible To Load Animationdrawable With Tabhost / Way To Do

Dec 9, 2009

Yesterday I post this : http://groups.google.fr/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread...

but today this problem is not resolved and I think that the problem is an issue between TanHost component and Animationdrawable.

I tried a lot of thing, but the start() method makes nothing. The first drawable is displayed and that's all.

I would like to know if somebody can do a test to confirm it, I'll post a bug just after.

Android :: Droid Emulator Hang Up And Impossible To Quit / Fix It?

Jul 2, 2010

I've installed the Android plugin on Eclipse 3.6 in a regular way (aka i followed step by step the google installation page).
When i launch any sample application, everything work fine, but if i try to quit the emulator (by clicking the exit cross button of the emulator), the emulator seems to hang completly.
What is very bothering is that i can't even kill the process, launch another emulator or even reboot my pc! (since the process seems to be impossible to stop or kill).
Anyone have similar problem, and a solution to give?

But this causes an exception, even with setLenient forced at true. Do you know how I may convert to Date a lot of strings formatted like "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", but with someones without time, some others without secondes, and still other one with everything ?

Android :: Impossible To Test Contact Groups In 2.0 Without A Physical Phone?

Feb 23, 2010

My app (first written for Android 1.6) reads groups and contacts but I have so far only been able to write code for 2.0 that compiles but I have never executed. Since the Contacts API and particularly the way groups work has changed substantially in ways that I haven't quite been able to find out I need to try it on a phone to see how it now works.So is there any way at all I can test contact groups in the emulator? I have looked all over for help on this and all I have been able to glean is that I cannot get groups into the emulator unless I create them in a Google (or other, Exchange?) account then sync with it. However I cannot seem to sync/open an account from my emulator - and this I have read may be impossible as you can only do it from a phone with a valid IMEI.

Android :: Java Rare And Impossible Exception Causing Force Close

Apr 19, 2010

I have an interesting problem being reported to me from an android application I have published. I have a two-dimensional array that I am iterating through using two for loops like so:

for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i)
{
for (int j = 0; j < arr[i].length; ++j)
{
if (arr[i][j] != 0)
// does stuff
}
}

The problem is, somehow arr[i][j] != 0 is throwing an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. But very rarely. I have thousands of people use the app on a daily basis and get maybe twenty force close reports. Is this something I can't avoid, maybe a problem with the phones memory, etc. or is there something I can do that I haven't thought of yet?

Motorola Milestone : Impossible To Reply To One Particular Contact

Nov 7, 2010

Ive got a really annoying bug with a contact on my phone using the default SMS app. I can text him no problem, but if he sends me a message and I try and reply I get a text from my carrier T-Mobile UK saying the number I am sending to is incorrect because it is missing the +.

For example say the contacts number is +4412345678 it is stored in my phonebook as "+4412345678". But when I reply the SMS client sends it to "4412345678" which is not correct as it is missing the +

If I change the contacts number to 0712345678 when I reply it still fails as it tries to send the text to 712345678.

Its totally random and confusing it also missed out the first number or +. I have tried deleting the contact all together but even then when repying it always forgets to put the "+". Its only the default SMS client which does this and it only happens with one contact. If I use Handcent it works ok but I would prefer to use the default client if possible.

General :: Casio Commando 2.3.3 Root-impossible

Oct 7, 2011

Casio Commando users just got the Gingerbread 2.3.3 update via Verizon.With Froyo I had easily used SuperOneClick to root my Commando and assumed Gingerbread (with Gingerbreak) would be no more difficult..Gingerbreak does not work.

I've tried v1.0-.1-.2 of Gingerbreak and numerous iterations of SOC to no avail. Even retried with a factory reset.I've read that there is little support for this particular phone because of it's somewhat niche status, Have I missed an obvious method to root my newly updated Gingerbread (2.3.3) Casio Commando?

Android :: Location Manager Minimum Update Time Overridden / When Location Changes?

Oct 26, 2010

I'm developing a mapping app using Eclipse 3.5.I'm setting the minimum update period with the LocationManager's requestLocationUpdates method, via a configuration activity. When I set the property I see in Logcat that the system process sets the value OK.When I actually send a new location from the DDMS emulator control and the location changes on the map view, I see that the system process then sets the minimum time to zero.Below is a capture of the system's log messages. You can see that I'm setting the period to 32 seconds, then 16, then, after I've sent a simulated location change the system sets it to zero.The map responds to location changes to location changes instantly even if they are sent only a couple of seconds apart.

Motorola Droid X :: TERRIBLE Loudspeaker - Nearly Impossible To Hear

Jul 23, 2010

I'm speaking as a formal HTC user, Had the HTC Eris for over 6 months, before that, the palm Pre.... and being around my mother with her HTC Hero (cdma) her phone ringing all day long it was impossible to ignore that thing, dang loud and clear.

My previous phones both had VERY loud and rich speakers on them (the speaker the ringer/music/sound affects come out of), even in some noisy environments it was impossible to miss a call when I had service, just the week that I've had the droid X, I've missed several calls either from not noticing the vibrator in looser pockets or its just too dang quiet.

Speaker placement is bad too, sitting the phone on a slighty soft surface like a chair can muffle the speaker to nearly impossible to hear 6 feet away.

I'm hoping the droid X doesnt have a hardware deficiency and that this can be fixed through software... My best buddy has the droid x also, his is just the same, very quiet vs my old Eris put side to side.

Samsung Epic 4G :: Impossible To Delete Browsing History

It doesn't seem that you can totally delete browsing history on the Epic. On the browser I pressed Menu, More, and deleted all browsing history, data, cache etc. So when I checked in history there wasn't any websites listed. BUT when in the browser you click on the back button, you still can get to the previously seen sites. So how can you totally delete your browsing history?

Sep 17, 2010

In my application I have to fetch the current location. First it correctly fetches the location. But we are moving from the current location to some other location. It shows the previous address. It is not updating the location. My code is: locManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); locListener = new MyLocationListener();locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager .GPS_PROVIDER ,0,0,locListener); location = locManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);if(location != null){latitude = location.getLatitude();longitude = location.getLongitude();} Please find the mistake and when i launch first time it is not working on second time itself it is working so check this thing also.

Jelly Bean :: Google Sync Results In Impossible SMS Contact List

Feb 18, 2014

I am using a locally made make of phone called a Firefly. My last phone was a samsung, which was way too small and too slow.

When I first added my google account to my andoid phone, I thought nothing of it syncing the contacts. I did not realize that google had kindly created a contact for every single person I had ever emailed in my entire life. For most people, I am sure that this is quite an accurate list, but I manage a business, so I get lots of emails from people and systems that I never need on my phone.

When I first noticed this, I disabled syncing of contacts and manually removed all the contacts from my phonebook. This left me with a nice neat list of contacts. Great. But... When I go to send a text message and add a recipient, I am displayed with a gigantic list of thousands of contacts, most of whom are email addresses and at least 98% of whom are people I would never ever want to send a text message to.

I have searched everywhere, but can not find any way to access this contact list within my phone so I can clean it. The only solution I have been able to find is to first delete all contacts from google, then enable sync, then disable sync after it completes. This is really not ideal as I need these contacts in my google account, but not on my phone.

Android :: Location Provider / Coarse Location

Jun 25, 2009

The way we are retrieving locations from our Android phones is to 1st get a Coarse Location followed by a Fine Location. This is for the case where the user may be inside a building initially and unable to track satellites. After we get our coarse location we transition to a fine location to track satellites. This method has been working fine for several months. We recently upgraded to 1.5 and our mapping application, to my recollection continued to work.For the past couple of days we have not been able to get a coarse location and we are receiving a status message in the onStatusChange callback of.We have re- installed previous versions our code that used 1.1 and we are receiving the same status message of .TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE. Other than the obvious description of the constant, we can find no meaningful information.

HTC Droid Eris :: Cursor Jumps To Left Making Impossible To Type Or Access Applications

When my phone is plugged in my cursor jumps to the left making it impossible to type or access applications that are not on the menu screen all the way to the left. It also navigates itself away from web pages and I think the constant left motion of the cursor makes the phone run slowly. I cant look at maps either.
