In my application i m trying to change default android SMS Setting through programming. But i haven't find any document to how to change Messages Setting in android. I have seen package android.provider.Settings but in this package i haven't find any setting regarding SMS.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNew to Android, I have some code when the user changes a preference I update the Summary field in the UI preference to be the value they entered. However, when the preference activity is created I'd like to set the Summary fields to be the values in the corresponding preferences.
Please advise. Thanks.
public class MyPreferenceActivity extends PreferenceActivity implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener { protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preference);
SharedPreferences sp = getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences();
sp.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
} public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) { Preference pref = findPreference(key); if (pref instanceof EditTextPreference) { EditTextPreference etp = (EditTextPreference) pref; pref.setSummary(etp.getText());
} } }
I will try to explain a simple app scenario: My app goes right to a 'main view'. In this main view I have inserted a 'TextView' which displays current settings created by way of the PreferenceManager. For simplicities sake, let's say I have a checkbox in my settings. When I first start my app - the TextView on my main view shows my checkbox setting correctly (true). Now I go to the settings menu, it pops-up, and then I change it to false. I go back to the main view and...no change. It still say's true even after I changed it to false. If I end the app and then re-start it - all is well and it shows my change.
Apparently the main view just stays in the background while I'm changing settings? How can I redraw or update the main view after I change settings?
For my private static final String PREFS_NAME = "mypref"; does the PREFS_NAME have to be unique for every application? Or can I use the same one over and over.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have used PreferenceActivity to have preference in my android application. I want one preference say "pref 2" to be enabled when other preference say "pref 1" is not checked and "pref 2" to be disabled when "pref 1" is checked. i.e. exactly opposite of the android: dependency attribute. How can I do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have added a mute button to a menu on my application and am wondering if it is possible to store the user's latest preference of either muted or unmuted for use when he/she reopens the application. Here is the code I am using for setting mute or umute:
public void isMute() {
if(mIsMute){
mAm.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, false);
mIsMute = false;
}else{
mAm.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, true);
mIsMute = true;
}
}
I am looking for an all-in-one SMS app that can filter incoming messages based on words and phrases in the message. The reason being that I have monitoring systems at work that send SMS alerts and sometimes the alerts are just FYI, not OMG's
So anyways, right now I have a Hero, so I use Handcent for the replacement of the stock app until it is fixed and SMS Firewall to filter incoming messages and do the alerting. Being a 2 part solution it works very well, but I was curious if anyone has tried anything that has it all in one.
I have tried a few of the apps out there and none seem to work right.
Here's what I tried without success
aFirewall (didn't seem to filter properly)
SMS manager (can't remember what was wrong)
SMS Guard (kept getting a force close when a message came in)
PandaFirewall (didn't filter anything properly when I tested)
GSMS (force close when trying to view inbox)
I was going to try UltimateSMS, but it appears to have been removed from the Market.
To Launch the market I usually do this:
Intent intent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("market://search?q=pname:com.package.package2.package3"));
startActivity(intent);
But I would like to run a search based on a keyword like "Happy Toasters". What is the URL for that kind of search?
Can anyone explain why, when I use the Final keyword the following code works fine, but without it, it doesn't?
I just find it irritating that I don't understand why it works! ;)
CODE:................................
Is there any way that I can link a keyword in a TextView to a file or directory on the user's SD card? My app produces stack trace files when it crashes and I want the user to able to click a link in my About dialog to view either the latest one or the folder containing all of them. (Something like "If this app crashes, please send [link]the latest stack.trace file[/link] to us at myapp@example.com.")

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to check for memory leaks in my Android app using the DDMS feature in Eclipse. When I launch an emulated device, the threads display properly for the emulated device, starting with 8600 and up.
However, when I connect my Droid to the PC, the device shows up just fine in DDMS. The logcat is generated correctly, and I can view the file structure. However, threads do not display. I get "no client selected" in the Threads pane, and there is no drop-down icon next to the device listing.
Do I need to change some particular setting in Eclipse? Is this maybe a driver issue?
I have a few different email accounts and on my PC I have most of the spam under control by a junk mail filter that catches almost all of what the ISP's filter doesn't. On the Incredible, however, those ads still get through and it's annoying of course. If I could just even get rid of the Viagra ads, I'd be happy, because there wouldn't be much spam left if they were gone. I figure there has to be a way to do a keyword block of these ads but I just can't figure this out on here. Any ideas?

I want to write an android application, that should have a homepage or home screen and having many utilities. Each utility should have an icon with the name. So clicking on each utility or the icon, the corresponding next screen should be displayed. It should be similar to the android home screen. Is there any sample application that i can refer? Could anybody please let me know, how to set the icons for the utilities in the homepage of my application.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that sets specific actions (like changing ringtones, volume of notifications, e-mail notifies on/off) according to the SSID/availability of WiFi networks nearby. Pretty much like "locale" does for position, but tied to WiFi availability. The idea is that I can turn off e-mail alarms/notifies when I'm at home/work where I have a PC anyway (WiFi of home/work is detected) while automatically having them turned on when I leave the house (no wifi anymore).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created several files in a res/values/styles.xml file.
Here's one of them:
CODE:..............
I can apply the style to a single element in the xml by setting the style element like this:
CODE:.................
So, that works, and I notice that change. But what I really want to do is use the style above to apply to my entire application. I thought I'd be able to use this line:
this.getApplicationContext().setTheme(R.style.BlueOnWhite);
Before the super.onCreate of the first activity. But it doesn't work. Should it?

Is there anyway to bypass 'Unknown sources' setting without having the application actually downloadable in the market? Signing up for the market is fine but I do not want the application actually available via the market due to partner restrictions. However, installation should be smooth without requiring the user to allow installation of application from non-market applications.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to have my home-screen application register itself as the default home-screen so the user is not prompted with the IntentResolver's list of all the available home-activities.
This is my code:
CODE:.................
I have the android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS set in the manifest. After executing the code above, the logs claim things have been added like expected (same logs as when I tick off "Make default" from IntentResolver's list). However, when I proceed by clicking home, the list still shows up and the logs say:

So it seems the resolver deletes the default entry. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a security measure? What are the ideas behind this?
I am submitting an application to the android developer challenge 2, but i would like to sell my application after the competition is over. In the terms and conditions google has mentioned that in case if i have to sell the application after the contest is over I have to set a timed expiry date.But while going through the steps for publishing the applications it is mentioned that the certificate validity limit should be a minimum of 22 October 2003."1.Your application must be signed with a cryptographic private key whose validity period ends after 22 October 2033. " Is it possible for me to set the expiration date as 120 days in the certificate? If not what is the best proccess that i should be following to set a timed expiry period?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I've just published my first paid app to the Market and I used the new LVL with the default ServerManagedPolicy. On working through the docs and getting it set up I noted the references to the server response extras VT, GT, GR & UT, and the impression I got from quotes such as "a typical value would be 5 or more days.", "a typical value would be "10" or higher." etc., was that we would have some way of setting these server response values per app when we upload them to the Market. Either I'm missing something, or there does not seem to be a way to set these in the Developer Console that I can see? If we can't set these, it's not really a 'managed' policy at all, but a random 'whatever the server decides to respond with' policy, particularly given the vagueness of the documentation.
I really hate phone home licensing, and am only using it because it seems to be the only option to combat Android piracy. Ideally I want to just check once when the app is first launched, once a day or two later to check they didn't return it, then cache that for 6 months (forever?) to minimize disruption to my users. Is this kind of thing possible with the ServerManagedPolicy or do I have the wrong end of the stick about the 'management' features and have to roll my own? On a side note, if I can't buy my own app, how can I test my licensing is working in the wild? I got several 'NOT_LICENSED' responses in testing even when I set it to return 'LICENSED' in the console, so I'm not 100% convinced of its stability and want to actually see how well it works outside the testing environment, but apparently can't buy my own app to do so!
Can anyone advice if there is an application which forces android phone go internet over some proxy-server? I've noticed there are no such settings on G1, like you can no set it up manually in Network Settings. Maybe there is an app which creates routes same way you can do in WinXP or something?
