Android : Obtain Recently Used App List Programatically?

Sep 17, 2010

As a user, whenever I long-press home key, I get this 'recently used apps' list. As a developer, how do I fetch the same list programatically?

PS I am mainly a forum guy and this is the first time I'm using a mailing list, so very sorry if I don't post this in a proper way...

Android :: Recently Used Apps In Notification Area

Sep 19, 2010

Does anyone know of an app that achieves the display of recently used apps in the notification dropdown area?Essentially, performing the same function that a long press on the home button does, but obviously eliminating the need to press a button. I've been looking for something like this for a good while, and was pleasantly surprised to see HTC had included this very function in their latest version of Sense.... when I went to the HTC London meet last week. unfortunately, the HTC guys demoing informed me there is currently no way to obtain this feature for current handsets.

HTC Droid Eris :: Phone Recently Stopped Getting 3G Service

Jan 6, 2010

My Eris recently stopped getting 3G (or even 1x) service. When I try turning mobile network on it takes a long time like its searching then says it is on but when you go into "about phone" and look at mobile network it says it is not connected and there is no 3G or 1x display in the status bar. I am currently at school in the bay area and it worked for the first few days I was here, not sure exactly when it stopped cuz I mostly use wireless but noticed it when I wanted to do something off wireless. Pretty sure it is not a coverage issue because my friend with a moto droid gets 3G and it is almost as fast as his wireless connection at full bars. Also now I cant send or receive MMS due to this (apparently cant transmit over WiFi or voice signal), making my smart phone less useful than a dumb phone.

General :: Recently Rooted Revo Stopped Playing Games

Mar 4, 2013

I recently rooted my revo and never really done a lot to it but uninstalled a lot of bloatware that I had found in these forums as being safe to remove. My problem is that the other night I went to download a new runner game and noticed that it wouldn't work, just sound no screen. So I tried to play Temple Run 2 which had worked previously, now it no longer would play. Naught no longer played either, I just then downloaded several of the 100 series games and they won't play as well. What I may have uninstalled that is causing this to happen and how I can fix it?

HTC Magic :: Recently Used Apps Launcher Appears Only Shortly When Holding Home Button

Oct 6, 2010

When clicking and holding the home button the very useful modal dialogue appears showing the list of recently used programs/applications. Unfortunately, most of the time it appears and then disappears again. It is very annoying and makes this feature useless.

I am using LauncherPro on my Android 2.1 (CyanogenMod 5.0.8 DS), but with ADW launcher it showed the same behaviour.

Android :: Obtain GPS Location Once Every Few Minutes

Aug 23, 2010

I would like to write an app on Android to upload my GPS location to an external website once every 5 minutes. This needs to have as minimal an impact on battery life as possible, but it also needs to work without any user interaction. (Background: I'm competing in an Ironman triathlon which will take me about 14 hours to complete, and want to broadcast my location in near-real-time but without having to worry about fiddling with my phone.) So my initial thought is to write a Service which uses LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates() with a minTime of 5 minutes, but will this actually wake the device up every 5 minutes for my service to do its job?

It sounds like I would also need to use AlarmManager.setInexactRepeating() to make sure my service is awake while it completes its task but how does that play with requestLocationUpdates()? Should I instead set minTime=0 on requestLocationUpdates() but then go back to sleep as soon as the next update is obtained? Any general guidance on how to design this. I'm a competent Java programmer & will be using Google Maps on the server to plot my location, but am pretty new to Android development so I'm basically looking for a high-level plan on how to architect the client app.

Android :: Obtain An Instance Of ServiceState

Jun 26, 2010

I'm trying to obtain an instance of ServiceState in my Activity. But how am i supposed to do this? There is no static method to obtain an instance or any method on any service that returns an ServiceState instance.
There is the TelephonyManager.listen() call. But i want to get the ServiceState instance when i want, not when android calls my listener because something changed.

The documentation of ServiceState can be found here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/ServiceState.html

Android :: Can I Obtain Resources With A Given Locale

I have different text packaged into my app for different locale. The Resource.getString(int resid) method automatically returns me the string for the CURRENT locale of the phone.

Android :: Possible To Obtain ID Of An Image By Id Of Thumbnails?

Jun 25, 2010

I'm developing an image editor for android. In the main activity, I get to show all images by viewing the thumbnails to make the process faster. The problem it's that I need to process the image later and I would get the normal image ID (with the original size, which I think is in MediaStore.Images.Media). I can't get the form of the query. The code that I have is the following but I can't obtain the real image ID (in the IDImage variable) code...

Android :: Do I Obtain Droid_id Of A Device?

Jul 28, 2010

In the licensing documentation the android developers mention an easy way to more or less securely identify an android device. They are using android.Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID.

They say they query the system settings for this. But they don't explain this any further.

How do I obtain the android_id and do I need special permissions for doing so?

Android :: Only Have 2 Contacts - Yet Can Obtain 5 From A Query

Aug 27, 2010

I have setup 2 test contacts in my emulator.

I'm running the following query, it should pick them both out, populate my domain object, and add to a list. The output at the bottom should therefore be 2, but it is 5, why is this? (cursor.getCount() is 5 instead of 2)

I have stepped through each iteration of the while loop and it is retreving the same contact multiple times, but with different values for POSTCODE, such as the phone number

Android :: How To Obtain Subviews From Listview

Oct 1, 2010

My program will show data based on selection from two spinners (month and year). Based on month and year, it will query DB and displays the content in listview.

I created two spinners and populate with array string. Then I created two spinner views, two arrayadapters and set onItemSelected listeners and set adapter to the views. Then I use cursor to get query from DB, then put the result into simple cursor adapter and put them into list adapter. Finally I use list view to add this listadapter. Result shows properly. It is OK when the queries is not too much. But when there are lots of queries, it is difficult to see. So I want to implement paging for my program. For example: I get 100 queries, and I want to show them like 10 or 20 queries per page. I can control how many records per page via another spinner.

But the main problem is that I don't know how to get subset data or subview from return queries (listview).

Are there any methods in listadapter or android can do that ? I'm still new in android. I also read some documents about getView(), I don't understand and not sure whether it can help on my purpose.

Android :: How To Compress Data To Obtain Same Value In Python?

Mar 11, 2010

I am porting a Python application to Android and, at some point, this application has to communicate with a Web Service, sending it compressed data. In order to do that it uses the next method:
def stuff(self, data): "Convert into UTF-8 and compress."
return zlib.compress(simplejson.dumps(data))

I am using the next method to try to emulate this behavior in Android:
private String compressString(String stringToCompress) { Log.i(TAG, "Compressing String " + stringToCompress);
byte[] input = stringToCompress.getBytes();
// Create the compressor with highest level of compression Deflater compressor = new Deflater();
//compressor.setLevel(Deflater.BEST_COMPRESSION);
// Give the compressor the data to compress compressor.setInput(input); compressor.finish();
// Create an expandable byte array to hold the compressed data.
// You cannot use an array that's the same size as the orginal because
// there is no guarantee that the compressed data will be smaller than
// the uncompressed data.
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(input.length);
// Compress the data byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while (!compressor.finished()) { int count = compressor.deflate(buf);
bos.write(buf, 0, count); } try { bos.close();
} catch (IOException e) { } // Get the compressed data byte[] compressedData = bos.toByteArray();
Log.i(TAG, "Finished to compress string " + stringToCompress);
return new String(compressedData);
}
But the HTTP response from the server is not correct and I guess it is because the result of the compression in Java is not the same as the one in Python. I ran a little test compressing "a" both with zlib.compress and deflate.
Python, zlib.compress() -> x%9CSJT%02%00%01M%00%A6
Android, Deflater.deflate -> H%EF%BF%BDK%04%00%00b%00b
How should I compress the data in Android to obtain the same value of zlib.compress() in Python?

Android :: How To Obtain The Current Bitmap Of A Canvas

Nov 16, 2010

I want to get the current bitmap associated with my canvas so I can perform operations on it. I can't see how to do this though.

I've seen some examples where you create a bitmap and set the canvas to use this bitmap, so obviously you can then access it later, but I'm using the canvas returned from a SurfaceHolder so there's no constructor.

For instance, examples often show this kind of thing:

CODE:...........

So at this point I can see bmp.

In my case, the canvas is obtained by:

CODE:......

So how can I get the bitmap for c?

In short, my aim is to capture the current canvas contents where I have drawn "stuff", and make a copy of it, reversed, to put underneath. Like a reflection. The example of this that I found performed it all via bitmaps, so I assumed I needed to somehow capture the current canvas to a bitmap to then use it.
