Could someone please tell me how to access android's native resources? In particular, I would like to use the camera icon and shutter sound in my own app.
My understanding says that it is yet not possible with Froyo to access native resources like Camera, Voice etc from Browser. Is that correct ?

In a couple of other applications I have extended this subclass to provider a common menu for each activity. Is it still possible to access the resources from this Subclass? By default it uses the resources from the current activity (Strings, xml layout etc.).

What's the best way to access the drawable resource from within ItemizedOverlay as you can't access it directly like in an activity? The only idea I have for now is to pass the resources as a second argument...

I realize this is a change in framework code, and that is fine for my purposes. So, for example, if I know that I am going to install an app called "MyApp", could I go into frameworks/base/core/java/android/ widget/AbsListView.java and tell it to use an xml file and .png's that live in that app? Here is the line I would want to modify: setSelector(getResources().getDrawable( com.android.internal.R.drawable.list_selector_background));
So I'm defining a class that sets a Drawable attribute in an object. The problem is that I can't access the getResource().getDrawable(int resourceId) method unless I have some Context.
So what I did was to send to that class an activity instance (let's call it "act") and then I did:
act.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.whellchair)
but, when executing that line it throws a NullPointerException.
When idea how to accomplish this?
We have a website that makes use of OAM for single sign on (form-based authentication). When we submit credentials to WebGate / Access Server the authorization succeeds, however after the authentication is performed, the form action (as configured in the Authentication Scheme - with passthrough:no) returns a server error instead of redirecting to the originally requested URL.
If we use Mini Opera, we are able to get authenticated and forwarded properly.
This problem happens on numerous Android phones (versions ranging from 1.5-2.2), as well as the Emulator provided with the SDK.
This is proving to be a real problem as the default browser on Android phones is not able to get access to our sites(and this is the only browser that is having this problem).
I have created a WebView-based custom browser with the hope of seeing a client-side error and tried trapping every possible error....none show up....
I have tried to trace all of the http requests and found only a single difference in the requests... the http header for Connection:keep- alive is not sent by the Android WebView.

I am completely new to the NDK.
I have done a couple of the tutorials including the hello from jni one and another one that calculates the sum of two numbers.
They involved using cygwin and the ndk to create the library so file and I have a bit of a grasp on how to insert my own libraries into the libraries layer of Android.
I have now been asked to access the native libraries on Android and see what I can use them for.
My question is can I do this?
The STABLE-APIS.txt document is a bit vague and mentions the following as Stable C++ API's in Android 1.5
cstddef
new
utility
stl_pair.h
Does that mean I can access them?
If so then how do I go about it?
Looking for any pointer or advise using NDK to access to native bluetooth lib. is it doable? anyone have good or bad experience to share?

I do not wish to take screen shots of other apps, just my own. I can already capture and image of a canvas that I am aware of, but is there a view or canvas or something like it that always represents what is on the screen, so that a) I don't have to capture the separate views images and recompile them, and b) I can see what my native (jni) code is doing with the graphics too?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my Android project, I want to loop through the entire collection of Drawable resources. Normally, you can only retrieve a specific resource via its ID using something like:
InputStream is = Resources.getSystem().openRawResource(resourceId)
However, I want to get all Drawable resources where I won't know their ID's beforehand. Is there a collection I can loop through or perhaps a way to get the list of resource ID's given the resources in my project?
Or, is there a way for me in Java to extract all property values from the R.drawable static class?
I have some resources in my app that are going to be loaded optionally for different brands. I don't want to set up entirely different projects each time we re-brand the app so I want to know if the resources that are not used will be always packaged in and if there is a way to avoid this.

I need to assign this array, but Android API only provides a way to get array of ints (getResources.getIntArray()). I've ended up getting an array of ints and converting it to array of shorts later, but that's hardly ideal.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got some XML resources in my Android app. Each one has a different name like "bicycle.xml" and "car.xml". I'd like to know if there's a way to load resources based on conditions during run time.
As an example...
Say I had a text input in my app. When the user enters "bicycle", my app can look up an XML resource by that name, parse and load it. Whereas if they enter "car", they would end up with the data from the other XML file.
I've noticed so far that to load resources, you have to use the autogenerated "R" class, which restricts you to hard-coding resources at compile time.

The annoying part is the url bar uses a lot of the screen. Is there a way to make this web app a native Android app? I've read that webview can be used to embed a web site within the Android App.
Unfortunately, I only know web programming languages and have no Java experience. Will I still be able to do this on my own?
