General :: Making Simple Android App?
May 31, 2013
I would like to make a very simple Android app, with no UI. Kind of a shortcut. I tried searching the web, and I didn't find what I was looking for.
The question is: Can I make a simple app, that only launches an activity?
I want to make an app to launch the following activity : "com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet.preference.Preferences" . Kind of how the app "QuickShortcutMaker" works.

I'm making a simple 2d game for the android platform, which works perfectly from version 2.0 and above, but when testing it on a 1.6 device, it crashes immediately. On running the debugger, it seems that I'm getting a null pointer exception in the thread class. I was just wondering if anybody has any ideas as to where the problem might be.
Maybe there's some compatibility issues with this code that I'm not aware of--I'm very much a beginner when it comes to using threads.

I'm currently developing a simple app with the following functions:
So far I've managed to make the View Files work by viewing files and folders in the memory card, but I haven't added any function other than being able to view them.
Here is the code for the FileManager.java class, I just copied it from a site because I just wanted to test out if the code could really view files. I have yet to be able to make my own file manager code:
Code:
package com.android.bluetoothfiletransfer;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
[Code] ......
All other buttons are nonfunctional. Can I ask for preferably codes for the functions I'm looking for? I'm just planning to use this as a stepping stone for future apps.

I have a Android tablet and I want to use it as a second screen for my computer. Of course there is Apps for this like iDisplay, but it's not at all comfortable, and i prefer USB. So is it possible to use the tablet like a second screen only ? Turn off Android and just use the screen of the device ?With Windows 8 we can easily share the screens, and i want to optimise that point...

I flashed cwm 6.0.3.2 to my device samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2 jellybean, rooted, using a tutorial on xda. One of the reasons I flashed it was to create a nandroid backup. But when I try to backup my phone, it backs up boot image, recovery, system, and then it begins backing up data. After some time I got an error, "error while creating backup image of /data". Also when I rebooted my device after this, I saw that my external sd card (where the backup was getting stored) was totally full. So is this a problem with my storage?? Do I need more free space to create a Android backup?? Btw, I have 2 GB free memory on my external sd card.

I've been looking through the filesystem of android, and for the life of me cannot find the files that make up the settings menu in android. It's been a long while since I've attempted modifying anything myself.

I'm looking for a replacement for the Motorola Blur Notes widget. I don't think this exists as an app, just a widget. Since updating to CM9, I have this 4x2 gaping hole where I used to be able to press and type, and what I typed would sit there. I don't want a text editor (I have a few), and I don't want a to-do list (don't need one). Just something to jot down notes on the home screen.

I want to root my Google Nexus 7 3G (UK version) so that I can install Titanium Backup Pro. I also want to be able to revert back to the original non-rooted version of Android in case I have to return it under warranty at some point in the future. So, is it possible to simply root it without installing ROMs/images etc?

My government gave us galaxy (10.1) tablets instead of books. But unfortunately this tablets's OS is not a normal android 3.2; It has been customized and we can't access many applications or other thinks. So I've decided to make a new custom rom for this tablets to offer in a competition of project. I have 2,5 months for this competition and I should make this rom. I've downloaded the android source (I want to work on 4.1jb) It is 4.2gb on my ubuntu 12.04 and I don't understand anything till see your answer on stackoverflow. I read and have some knowledge about system but It is not enough.. I know c# lang and I know general coding for 4 years.
I should edit the launcher (I said desktop but I don't know how calls It..). It has programs and widgets tabs and I want to put a new tab here. And anyone cannot see programs and widgets tab without any permission. This permission will give students's tablets by teacher ('s tablet). So, students can't play anything in the lesson but when it is over, stundents can play anything what they want.. Teacher will give the permission before leaving class..
This is what I want to do.. Briefly, I want to make a custom rom but directly using android source codes.Because I think I can't make this rom with using kitchen or just editing .apk files..

Running the newest version of Android that was released today 03-24-2013
I went into GO SMS and set it to default within the application, but I guess android has a setting that is overriding Go.

I just got my pair of UE600vi earbuds with a mic and in-line controller.
Everything works as expected (so no volume control), but what I didn't expect was that the built-in mic doesn't seem to work properly. When the cable is plugged in properly I get audio in a call, but the person on the other side of the line says he can't hear anything.. However, if I take the plug out a bit so that one black ring is out of the plug the mic seems to work,(probably because the mic is disabled and it uses the phone mic..) but I only get audio to one earbud.
I contacted Logitech which said that they can do nothing and that it's Android's problem.. However some people say that they've had no problems with apple-optimized headsets apart from the volume buttons.

If I wanted to make an online transaction with my Android device and I was using a browser other than stock (e.g. Overskreen), then would my card details (used to complete the transaction) be at a safety risk due to the fact that I have made the transaction in a browser which is owned by a developer and so would he have access to these details and the like?

I am using ICS with Nova Launcher.I miss the old bookmark widget in Launcher Pro Plus, I used it in text only mode with a transparent skin and it looked good.
The bookmark widget that comes in ICS is ok but I want something with just a scrollable list of the bookmark names. I have looked at a few different apps on the market and they are mostly thumbnails of the webpage.

Any app that can do the following: simply display a dismissible notification if the phone has booted. Sometimes my phone does a random reboot, and if it's a hot reboot, it doesn't request the SIM code -- I don't even know the reboot occured. This little app could tell me of these hot reboots.

This profile is driving me nuts. It can be found all over on the internet as it's quite common, but my phone will just not run it. I simply want my GPS signal to turn on when I open my good maps navigation, and then turn off when I close navigation. My psuedo code is below.
Profile: Nav On
Open app: Navigation
Enter Task:
IF %GPS ~ off
GPS set On
Go Home
Wait 50 MS
Load App: Navigation
END IF
Exit Task:
GPS set Off

It seems like such a simple thing...it can be done system-wide by editing the framework file, but it seems like using the CM Theme Engine would be much nicer.
Is there any such theme, which is just Holo Light (or Holo Light with Dark Action Bar)?

OS: Ice Cream Sandwich
Device: Motorola Xoom
I am having issues with a simple service not running correctly. The logcat shows some force stopping on the installed apk. Also the broadcast receiver should listen to android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED but it is not.
This all worked on froyo 2.2 on a samsung galaxy tab.
Here is the snippet from logcat when I do an 'adb install testService.apk:
Code:
D/AndroidRuntime(15251):
D/AndroidRuntime(15251): >>>>>> AndroidRuntime START com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit <<<<<<
D/AndroidRuntime(15251): CheckJNI is OFF
D/AndroidRuntime(15251): Calling main entry com.android.commands.pm.Pm
I/ActivityManager( 153): Start proc com.android.defcontainer for service
[code]....

I know making a real unremovable app is impossible, but I hope I'll be able to find a way to make an app harder to remove.I want to make some kind of parental protection app. it should be installed easily without much technical knowledge ( preferred that it will work on unrooted devices). the app should be hard to remove or disable by the phone user.who ever installed the app should be able to remove (probably with a password in the app settings).
I don't care if technical users will be able to easily remove the app.I also don't care if the users will know that the app is installed on their device.I guess the simplest solution will be to some how hide the app from the app drawer.I saw some where that Cerberus has that option but I guess it requires a root.
another solution might be if there is an option in the android os itself setting an admin password that will not allow the user to install or remove any apps without the password.

i wish to make all the notification items white. Like Facebook whatsapp screenshot etc. In the picture i hope you can see the distance in the white clock color and the slightly off white Facebook. How do i change these? I was able to change the clocks using xposed modules. I think I'll have to edit some images? I'm not sure where to find them or what to do.
