I've been getting annoyed at being unable to assign my ringtones to my gmail synced contacts. Something that was a non issue on my old faithful G1.Samsung, it seems, has seen fit to screw with the contact management making it necessary to have a contact in the phone memory proper to assign a custom ringtone.I have found a simple solution. Download Ringo Lite from the market place. It will allow you to assign ringtones to any contact on the phone in a really simple manner and the app is free. It has other features like assigning rings to sms messages and stuff but I don't care about that or need that. But for setting ringtones it works just dandy.

I am trying to add a "column" to this cursor with the ringer "Title" (since this can change outside my program). I can successfully user RingtoneManager to get the title, but I cannot figure out how to add this "column" to the cursor data for later use. Here is what I have so far: Code...
I want to add a contact just to my phone and not to my gmail account.Whenever I start to add a contact (phone, 208544.menu, +contact, create new contact,) the next thing it forces me to do is to choose an account to create the new contact under and it lists my 3 gmail accounts.I have no option to just put it on the phone.Any ideas here?We do the same thing on the Incredible but it gives us the gmail account and the phone to choose from but not on the Motorola.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI read that the different entries in different tables are linked via the _ID column in that table. For example a contact might have an _ID = 1 I get via
ContactsContract.Contacts._ID
And now I want to read the phone number of that contact using
CODE:.............
This works fine, but what I would expect is that if the _ID of the contact is 1 that the _ID of the phone number is as well one since they belong together, but they are not equal. So the question is how does Android match these entries?
I have a bit of code that takes a list of contact ID's that have been selected and return a cursor with other data I might be interested in for those ID's.

This has got me all confused! I'm trying to return the max value from a column in my database but the return value is always the name of the column.
The query I use:
private static final String SELECTMAX = "SELECT MAX(?) FROM " + TABLE_NAME ;

CODE:............
The column i'm querying is an INTEGER type but the result 's' is always the column name and not the desired value.
I was attempting to add a custom view in XML, but I kept getting force closes. It works fine when I just find the parent and use addView() so it isn't the code. I'm pretty sure I'm just getting the constructors wrong. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I am working on adding vertical and horizontal scrollbars in a custom drawn View. I have overridden the compute*ScrollOffset, compute*ScrollRange, etc methods and have enabled the scrollbars by called set*ScrollBarEnabled. However, I do not see the scrollbars in my View, even after a call to scrollBy, which according to the documentation calls awakenScrollbars (I assumed awakenScrollbars is not required as the scrollbars do not auto-fade - isScrollbarFadingEnabled returns false).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a ListView and add it to a custom ViewGroup.
Here is my code:
CODE:.................
I've got the following node in my XML layout:
CODE:.................
TagLayout is a class that extends ViewGroup, and basically holds a bunch of buttons with text (a custom object that act as tags, but that's neither here or there).
The problem is that when there are too many buttons, the view no longer scrolls. I can confirm that I am adding tags but I can't see anything.
If I wrap the above within a ScrollView, the layout never renders. I tried adding the attributes android:isScrollContainer and android:scrollbars, but that doesn't change anything. Is there something I'm missing here?
I should also add that TagLayout is overriding the onMeasure() event. I guess I need to implement a scrolling mechanism there...?
I have a custom ViewGroup that I wrote, and have been able to use it to lay out child elements in code just fine. However, now I'd like to be able to use it for layout in XML. I would also like to be able to add some custom attributes to the XML file to better control my layout. How do I set up, both in XML and in code, a set of custom attributes? Bonus if it can be used with the built in designer in Eclipse.

Maybe some examples where you combine CustomViews with xml layout.

View 1 Replies View RelatedNew to android and really like it. However, seems like the maintenance of contacts is a common source of confusion. I have contacts from my Gmail displayed. I have a created a group of contacts that I have been able to add contacts to. However, not all contacts are available to be added to this group.
Under the general contacts page, all the contacts are there (including many imported from gmail that I don't care for since every email that has ever been used seems to be saved). When I go to edit the group and add a contact, not all the contacts are displayed as available to add. I have gone into my gmail contact list and made sure that the contact I want to add is listed under the "my contacts" heading.
I am on Android 2.1 and I have one multi column Custom listview Using BaseAdapter with an editable edittext at the end of the listview. If the data in the listview do not contain the data of user choice then user should be able to enter data. If the data is already there in the list user will be able to select the data using custom selector. If a selection is made in the list view and user wanted to enter data in the text field at the bottom after selection then the marker in the list view should be unselected. I tried to use onclick() method on edit text using click listener. First time when it is clicked, edit text is getting focus and onclick() method is not fired. And when it is clicked second time, onclick() method is fired and notifyDataSetChanged() method is called. I tried to call the notifyDataSetChanged() method from the Focus Listener, list view selection is gone in my first attempt and edit text is not receiving any data input from the keyboard (frozen).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty sure it's not viable to do what I'd like to based on some initial research, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask the community of experts here in case someone knows a way.
I'd like to create a custom field for contacts that the user is able to edit from the main Contacts app; however, the user should only be allowed to select from a list of four specific values. A short list of string values would be ideal, but an int with a min/max range would suffice.
I'm interested in knowing if it's possible either way, but also wondering if it make sense to go this route performance wise. More specifically, would it be better to look up a contact (based on a phone number) each time a call or SMS message is received or better to store my own set of data (consisting of name, numbers, and the custom field) and just syncing contact info in a thread every so often? Or syncing contacts the first time the app is run and then registering for changes using ContentObserver?

View 1 Replies View Relatedadding new contacts in address book and apply them in batch by using new ContactsContract API. I could not find a proper tutorial on this. I am able to add a single contact. But batch update fails with Unknown contacts being added. Currently I am looping through while loop while collecting info. of users to write, store it in the ArrayList and applying and ContentProviderResult[] result = getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, op_list); But only one contact is updated with name and other are updated as unknown contacts. Please help with a sample code which adds the fields like name,nickname,mobile,title,email,skype id,work-country etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been having a major problem with my contacts list since moving my contacts from a Blackberry to a Motorola Droid.
Lots of my contacts have phone numbers under one name, separated by a "+" or a calling code. If the phone number is exactly the same, only one number shows up in the Droid's contact. I never get the choice to pick the numbers inside the contact. This is a big problem for people who travel and need the "+" to make international calls or have a calling code before the number when they travel.
I made a contact called test. I added the number 11111111111 under home, then I added +11111111111 under mobile, then I added 2211111111111 under work. When you look for the contact test you should only see the choice to call 11111111111. The other numbers under the contact never show up.
I know this exists, but I'm not quite understanding what step two means when it says mount my system partition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.droidsp0t - The Incredible Resource Want Facebook Sync back on your custom ROMs?

The only issue I am having is with the actual bootanimation.zip. I am thoroughly stuck. After I download a bootanimation.zip it shows up in winrar with 4 files (loading, eye, android, and the desc.txt) I know it has to go in tools. I am just not sure how? Do I add each folder or is there a way to add them all? I also know the name has to be bootanimation.zip. I tried a few different ways and pushed it to my Inc. But I cant get it to boot with the animation.
