Android :: How To Block Private Number
Most of my work phone calls are unknown number and lately I kept getting a phone call from a private number every half hour or so and it only ring once then hang up. I want to block that private number but not the unknown, I tried couple of apps but it doesn't allow me to just block private number. I have to block unknown, private etc..

Sprint HTC Hero :: Block Private Calls?
i have tried nearly ever single application on the market that claims to block private numbers but it none of them work for me... Idk if its because of the Sprint service or the applications just dont work. I know GBlocker blocks the calls. But it dont block the texts, or prevent it from going to voicemail. Nor does it block private calls. There was this other one I had that blocked calls too but same thing with GBlocker. What i dont understand is that if you choose the option "BLOCK ALL CALLS" it will then block private calls. But the option to just block the private calls fails to work. Is there anything out there that actually works? I have considered buying extreme blocker for $5 but whats the point if it might not work? When blocked numbers call, i dont want their voicemails. Nor do I wanna know their calling.

Samsung Galaxy S :: Make Number Private When Make Calls?
I just got the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. Seems like a nice phone. Every phone I've had in the past (Nokia, Sony, etc...) has always allowed me to hide my number so that the call display on the receiver's phone shows my call as 'private'. This is useful for when you don't want certain people to have your number when you call. Is there a way to do this on the Galaxy S? I couldn't seem to find any setting how.

Android : Need To Create A Private Jar
I'm currently developing my own Android widgets. To help me in future projects and speed up my developments, I've been trying to create a private jar that contains all those widgets (that extend from Android classes such as View or ViewGroup). To do that, I created a project and included all files (.Java and resources) in this project. I exported this as a jar file. To test this jar file I created a new project and tried to include my widgets using an XML layout. Unfortunately, it seems that the system does not "see" my resources. Looking at the Android source code, I noticed that android.jar contains its own resources so I assume this is possible. I'm sure I've done something wrong...but what? What is the problem? And how to solve it?

Android :: How To Protect Private Information From Others?
I've integrated lots of private information like accounting, messaging, emails, tasks and so on, into desktop widgets and everywhere around the phone. Every so often, someone wants to take a look at the phone and play around. Reading some important stuff is one thing, but people tend to mess the stuff around as well. Have you found a program or a way to protect from that? (other than denying to the people :> ) I guess some kind of shell program that you turn over when someone wants to demo the phone would be a nice solution.

Android :: An App For Public / Private Purpose?
iFMW was upgraded: Mobile site for public person or private file share for secret person in one app. It has two inversion functions on one app. Public person can get his/her own public web site on the phone and secret person can use only private file sharing directly on the phone without uploading. Those who want two demands above will use whole functions. What will you choose of those choices?

Android : Private Content Provider
I am developing an application that involves some sensitive user information. I retrieve this information via a private web API. I am trying to determine the best way to get this data into my app. Right now I'm exploring creating a content provider that can do so; my hesitation is in making it secure. I want this data to be usable only by my application. Ideally, no other apps would even know it exists. Do you have any pointers or advice on how to do this effectively and securely? Any info on content providers who's data source is a remote OAuth'd API? I say content provider, but if that isn't the best way to do what I need, by all means let me know what else to look into.

Android :: Call Forwarding To Number On To New Predefined Number Automatically
I would like to forward all calls to my number on to the new predefined number automatically. Is it possible to forward incoming call? Probably it is possible for Froyo at least. I found application called Easy Call Forwarding. But many people reckon it dosen't work actually. We can notice forwarded call by onCallForwardingIndicatorChanged() from PhoneStateListener but I have no idea how to set forwarding mode.

Android :: How To Access Other Package's Private Files?
I'm trying to find a way to access private files created by other packages.According to the dev site (plz see the following), I can read/write files of other packages if some flags are set on the create of those files, but I don't know how. Can I just open those files with Context.openFileInput(or Context.openFileOutput)? Do I need a different way for those three cases? By three cases, I mean getSharedPreferences(String, int), openFileOutput(String, int), openOrCreateDatabase(String, int, SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory).

Android :: Private Fields Naming Guidelines
Here http://source.android.com/submit-patches/code-style-guide#shortmethods it is stated that : "Field Names * Non-public, non-static field names start with m. * Static field names start with s. * Other fields start with a lower case letter. * Public static final fields (constants) are ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES. also states that : "The rules below are not guidelines or recommendations, but strict rules. You may not disregard the rules we list below except as approved on a need-to-use basis." I don't like the "m" convention before private or package fields in a class... I really find this uninspired. I mean, if we try to apply good designs, the low coupling of the classes implies having few public fields. actually, in my programs I usually have no public fields, even when I need some I use getters and seters. so, why should I be forced to have almost all my fields in the program with an "m" in front of them? wouldn't be easier to have the few public fields, if there are any, with some "g" in front or something? or just use setters and geters as beans suggest? this really makes my code harder to read. also, following these guidelines, local temp variables used in the methods have no restriction so they could easily be mistaken for public global fields (also without restriction). this also I find to be wrong, as it is a probable source of mistakes. I understand to have a way of differentiating from fields, but private/protected member fields are the most used in an application, they shouldn't be less "readable". what do you think? should I follow the guidelines?

Android :: Obtaining A Private Key Through The Keytool For App Release
I can't find a tutorial online that gives me the step by step process on how to generate a suitable key using the keytool in the JDK. This: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html Talks about it and gives commands, but it doesn't actually say where and in what folder to key in the commands. I am sure I am missing something easy here, but could anyone guide me to where I need to start with this?

Android :: How To Rename An Private File Of My Application
I want to rename an context private file created with openFileOutput() but I don't know how... I tried that: CODE:.................. This code throw FileNotFoundException but the documentation said "Open a private file associated with this Context's application package for writing. Creates the file if it doesn't already exist." so the new file should be created on disk. The problem: When I try to read from the new renamed file I got FileNotFoundException!

Android :: Possible To Keep An Authtoken Stored For An Account Private?
I need to sync some data from a phone with a server in the cloud. To do so, it appears I must create an Account via the AccountManager. If I do this is there anyway to keep the authtoken private (e.g. not accessible to other apps). I understand the value of sharing authentication with services such as Gmail, Facebook, etc; however, the data I am trying to sync is sensitive and for security and performance reasons (e.g. limiting calls, etc.) I would like to control access to the associated APIs.

Android :: Move File From Sdcard To Private Location
I want to move some files from sdcard to /data/data/myapp/files folder, I can use OpenInputFile and OpenOutputFile and write to it, then delete the original one. But it is slow, so, I tried to use oldFile.Rename(newFile), but it always return false. Any idea? The reason I am doing this is to hide some files from my sdcard, so, nobody can see them.

HTC Incredible :: Google Voice Number Isn't Version Cell Phone Number
I've experienced two problems with Google Voice that are causing me to get charged minutes I wouldn't usually get charged. If I can't solve them, I'll have to go back to using my Verizon number. First, let me say that I'm using a new Google Voice number that isn't Verizon cell phone number or any other preexisting number. Second, my girlfriend is on my family plan, but she doesn't have GV yet. We're using the 700-minute plan, so we don't have a friends circle. Problem 1: When I call my girlfriend's Verizon wireless phone using the GV on my Verizon phone, I get charged, and when she calls my GV number on my Verizon Wireless phone from her Verizon wireless phone, she gets charged. We don't cash in on our free in-network calling. I know, this should have been obvious, but it just never occurred to me until after I looked at the bill. I'd be able to work with that, though, and just select "Call without using Google Voice" or whatever when calling her if it weren't for the second problem. When people call my Google Voice number, I get charged when I don't answer. Usually, it's just a one-minute charge, but sometimes it's two or three minutes (don't know why). With anything less than an unlimited plan, minutes count. Not good.

HTC Desire :: Private Photo Album
Is it possible to create an album which is password protected? To which photos go automatically instead of to the 'all photos bit'?I'm sure that's impossible.. you'd have to have some setting in the camera that selected which folder it went into.but is it possible to have a password protected folder in the photo gallery to which you can easily move (how?) pictures from the normal camera folder?I'm sure you can think of uses for such a feature - in my case it's for photos to measure my fitness/muscleness (I ignore scales) - and I have friends who happily browse my phone (I don't mind except for this - I have to remember to upload the pictures then delete them). (They all know the swipe password thing, because it's pretty easy to accidentally watch/memorise.)

Samsung Moment :: How To Make Certain Apps Private?
Is there anyway to make certain apps private, hidden or locked on the menu screen. I have lil brothers and nephews who I don't mind playing games or watching movies on my phone; but I don't want them getting into certain "adult" apps or my fake call and sms apps. I believe it's possible to do b/c there's an app called Call Log (Secret Monitor) that has in its description "No icon in the list of applications. Completely hidden at you eyes". I downloaded it just to check and it really doesn't appear in the menu. So does anyone know how to do it for any app that we choose?

Motorola Droid :: Way To Store Private Documents On Phone SD?
Anyone know of a good way to store private documents on the phone SD? I'm considering moving some of my documents to my phone SD....this is stuff that could potentially lead to ID theft if I ever lose my phone So I was wondering if there's any way to password protect / encrypt folders on the SD card. If I lost my phone.....I don't want a thief accessing documents in that folder. So it would have to work against him reading files off a card reader on a regular computer as well While we're at it.....between Mobile defense, Lookout and Wave secure, can any of them wipe the SD card remotely?

HTC Incredible :: Set Gmail Invites To Be Private By Default On Dinc?
Is there a way to set gmail invites to be private by default? Google help says that if your calendar is set to private (mine is) then all invites will be private too. That is not the case though - when my husband receives an invite in Outlook and he has to manually change it to private. So short of using my pc for all invites (where I can manually set them to private each time) is there a way to do this on the Dinc?

HTC Incredible :: Changing Number - But Have Calls To Old Number Sent To New #
I'm selling my house, and my old phone number (which is still active), is on the advertisment signs and MLS. So, I'm going to keep paying my bill month to month for that account until I sell the house. However, I'd rather not carry around 2 different phones. I did not port my number to my new service as my old number was not "local" to where I live now. So, I have service with T-mobile and now Verizon with two different numbers. Can I set-up something where anyone who calls my T-mobile number, will ring through to my my Verizon phone/number?
