I want to add a custom icon to apk file of my application.When I copy the file from the pc to android, and open it with astro, I see the standard "Wheel+sheet" android icon.
Anyway, when it gets installed, in my phone's menu, I can see the icon i put in resdrawableicon.png.

I'm writing a bitmap editor. Each document consists of about 3 bitmap layers and documents are, at the moment, saved as a custom file with a .bme extension. These files can be converted to standard jpg/png files by rendering each bitmap on top of one bitmap and saving the latter. I need some way for the user to be able to select .bme files they've created already. Is there anything in Android that can make this easier for me? The only option I can see is to write an activity that creates a list view and write a list adapter that looks for .bme files on disk i.e. a copy of the standard "Media Gallery" app that works for my .bme files. The list adapter will either have to generate a thumbnail preview of the image to show to the user or I'll have to package such a preview in the .bme file when they're created. This is the only option I can think of. I thought I'd ask in case there is more Android friendly way of doing this. For example, can you add custom file support to the "Media Gallery" app?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to display a custom icon (i.e., an icon which is a application resource) on a notification ? For sounds you can pass a Uri which makes possible to play custom sounds when notifying, but for the icon you only pass the resource id when creating the Notification object, which as I understand makes possible only to display the system icons (i.e., those on android.R).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI made some Icons just for fun so I thought I'd share them. Plenty of different Androids in different colors and then you'll find plenty of random things. Also theres one called invisible, I like to keep my main screen as clean and simple as possible. So I used the invisible .png image to create an icon for gmail and texting, the 2 things I use the most. On my main screen I only have a search bar and the two invisible icons, everything else is on other pages. But anyways the invisible one is in there if anyone wants to use it. Use better cut or something like that to use these.
I'm using Nextheme.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to provide to the Notification Manager an icon which was not statically created, but rather created at run-time by the application.
I want to write a very simple weather application, which shows the current conditions icon and temperature at the notification bar, all packed into a small icon. So, I would like to know how to superimpose text onto an icon, and how to display the new icon in the notification bar, which, as you know, takes resource ID only.
I'm trying to create a custom titlebar in my app that looks like this (essentially):
For some reason, the icon shows up, but not the title text. It's really weird. For a split second you see the title text, but then it disappears and only the icon shows in the title.
My code is as follows:
==========================window_title.xml======== ==================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
androidrientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="60px"

I've just downloaded an icon pack and used KKlauncher to install the theme.
Most of my apps in the drawer become the same style as the icon pack but still some of the apps remained unchanged. e.g. Whatsapp+, custom camera apps.
Is it possible to apply the icon pack to the rest of the apps?

View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery time I click on the Avatar icon it says "File Not Found". It happened recently, I had it for two days and it worked fine.I was looking up this problem on the internet and someone said a reason why its not there anymore is because when I connected my Vibrant to my computer via USB, I didn't disconnect my phone from the computer "safely" which might have corrupted some files which pretty much sounds exactly like my situation. I have a solution idea though I don't know if it would work. My brother has a Vibrant as well. I thought maybe I copy his Avatar movie file to my phone and maybe it would work?

I've got a custom xml file in my res/xml folder, and it's not an android xml file (in that it doesn't describe a button or set of views or anything, just data for my app) and now I want to read it with an XML Pull Parser, but I don't know where to find it on the android file system. I've googled a little bit and I cannot come up with a document that shows what the android file system even is. (I'm sure it's out there). Can anyone tell me how to find the xml file? or point me to a doc that tells me how to do the same?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to change an application's icon without upgrading it? The idea is that there are two icons in the drawable folder, both with different names. At some point during the applications runtime, the icon will switch to a different one to alert the user that something occurred. I have looked into doing a widget, but that isn't exactly what I want, since I don't want to send a push notification.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I fire up an emulator using Eclipse and have a look at live wallpapers, the two default wallpapers - Cube and Cube Resources - show as grayed-out icons that look like the image is missing.
The wallpaper I have written is exactly the same, the proper image doesn't show. Doesn't work on my phone either.
Howeever, if I go into manage services in the settings screen in the emulator, the proper icon is showing. Its showing as the service icon but not the application icon.
Ive got: <application android:label="@string/wallpapers" android:debuggable="true" android:icon="@drawable/foo">
with foo.pmg, foo.jpg in drawable all being accepted by the IDE but not showing as the application icon.
As I say, the default cube live wallpaper doesn't show its correct icon either - I downloaded the source and recompiled, same thing.
Well I made the jump from Blackberry to the Droid Incredible and so far so good. Just a couple of questions: 1. Is there a keyboard available that is similar to the blackberry? Or can someone recommend a good keyboard? I could live with what it has, but would like to have something different. 2. I loaded Handcent and it worked great BUT- it doesn't show a new message indicator on the App Icon on the home screen- only shows a notification in the Notification bar. Is this correct?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI defined an application which is only used from my other application. So I would like to hide the icon of this application, so that the user can't see it on the desktop of his phone (or how do you call the thing where all apps are listed?). My manifest file looks the following way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I already read this question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1063604/how-to-hide-an-application-icon-in-android-emulator
But if I just remove the line
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
in my manifest, the activity isn't working at all (ActivityNotFoundException in the calling activity). I already tried android.intent.category.EMBEDDED but this doesn't work too. In the Internet I found CommonsWare answer http://osdir.com/ml/Android-Developers/2010-06/msg03617.html that it can be done using PackageManager. Unfortunately, it isn't explained how exactly and I couldn't find a solution by browsing the PackageManager API.
