I am trying to download a zipped file from the web on the first instance of the application; can someone point me to a tutorial for this (I don't see good documentation on developer.android)? I understand how to check if it's the initial start or not, and also how to use java.util.zip once I get the file, but it's the in-between where I'm lost.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis should be so simple, but apparently, it's not. I have a folder on my Nexus 4 internal storage:
/sdcard/Music/Favorite Songs/Current
... with a bunch of MP3s in it with ID3 v2.4 tagging. How in the world do I add these to the Play Music app (not cloud) without using some desktop manager? I also tried installing Omich Player (a fork of Apollo) and while I can browse to the folder, none of my music shows up under artists/albums/etc.
From the Android documentation:
"You can store files directly on the mobile device or on a removable storage medium. By default, other applications cannot access these files. "
I could write to the sdcard (/sdcard/file.tmp) and other apps could access these files, right?
I would like some local storage that I can write files to (and read from later) that are not accessible to other applications, and I will always have access to. The problem with the sdcard is that if someone plugs in a USB cable and turns on MSC, my application (and all applications on the phone) will lose (both read and write) access to the /sdcard directory. So I need something more reliable.
I published an application that stores data in a local database.
Now I have to publish an update to this application to fix some little bugs, but I am afraid that downloading and installing the update will delate the local database associated with the previous version.
I would like to know how the update system works. Will installing an update completely delete all the apk, files, databases associeted with the previous version?
If so, how can I avoid this in my code?
From digging around a bit, getAssets() is an inherited method from ContextWrapper. It returns an AssetManager, and using open() it can return an InputStream. What I'm attempting to do at this point, is use the GLSurfuceViewActivity, Cube and CubeRenderer to work and learn off of and read in vertex data from a binary file. I've already created the binary output by parsing a model obj file and added to the assets directory. My Shape class (modified from the Cube class) does not have access to calling getAssets() since it's not a subclass of Activity or ContextWrapper. Once I accepted that, I tried to think of the best way to read in the data (without storing it extra places) to the Shape class. What I did, and seems to be working okay, was modify the Shape and ShapeRenderer constructors to accept an AssetManger as a parameter.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm placing the file '.nomedia' into a folder in order to avoid Android's MediaScanner from detecting the media files in the folder. I need to copy this folder (including '.nomedia') from the APK's assets to the SD card (so other apps can make use of these media files, etc.). When I package the APK in Eclipse, it doesn't package the '.nomedia' file. Presumably it's detecting it as a hidden file. Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a secret aapt flag I can use? I'd like to avoid copying the folder and then manually creating a '.nomedia' folder, if possible.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to figure this out for some time now. Is there any way to load the entire Assets folder instead of having to code it for every single item? Also, once the images are read, is there a way to have another app (already installed on the device) grab that data? The intent is declared in the manifest and on it's own with the items in the res/ drawable it works fine but to have more then one option I'm using the assets folder with subdirectories. The user choses an option, that directory loads through another app already installed, if that makes sense.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to be able to call readAsset from outside of the main activity of my application. I have heard people mention needing to pass the Context around, but the language has been very vague. Can someone describe the steps necessary to add the ability to call readAsset to an existing class that is not the main activity? Creating a public function in the main activity and having others call that will not work as the place I need to add readAsset to, is in a separate thread.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI searched the groups to find a topic about setting horizontal scroll view's offset, but no results. Some topics talked about ScrollView, and they are not expected. Here is my question: I have a HorizontalScrollView, with LinearLayout as its child, the LinearLayout contains a custom view, I finished the onDraw method of the custom view to draw something which is longer than the screen's horizontal size, so I think HorizontalScrollView is the right widget that I need. But I do not want to display the left-most part of my custom view, such as a calendar, I can display the last week and next week in the custom view, but what I want to put in the center of the scroll view is today. So, I wonder how I should set the initial offset of the HorizontalScrollView?

I'm trying to load/reference images from the app's assets folder from within a HTML page in a WebView. Unlike in most of the examples the HTML page itself is not located in the assets folder but is loaded from a server via http. The background of this question are some performance improvements which should reduce the loading time (and the amount of transferred data) by loading static images directly from the device. I'm not sure if Android has some restrictions here because there's a certain possibility to exploit the app by allowing access to the local file storage from a remotely loaded webpage.
