I have an app where the user can choose a profile pic using images stored on the phone or SD. Do I have to write my own file explorer for this? I've seen a couple examples on anddev, but wasn't sure if there is another way.

I'm making an Android App, and i need to put a control that let user choose between 4 different colors. I want to do this with something like radio buttons: the problem is that radiobuttons are round...
is there a way to set them looks like square/rect buttons, and assign a color to their inside rect area ?
If not, how can i achieve that choose for the user ?
I need this because i'm making a Todo/Task android application, and i need the user to choose the priority of a task, between for priority level that are rapresented with a color. So i think to do that by showing 4 buttons, each with a different color associated, and a text inside ("0", "1", "2", "3")
Is there a way for an Android user to browse the SQLite databases on his/her phone and view the data in the databases?
I use the SoftTrace beta program a lot. It's great but has no way that I can find to download the data it tracks to a PC.
I've been working on an application lately that is using GMaps to display a location that is stored in the devices database. However when no location is available (no GPS signal is available) the user can go through an edit wizard and at a certain point he can add a location himself. I already have to code to display the stored location, but is it possible to write something so the user get's to see a map and when he clicks/touches on a certain area a map pointer appears and the location is stored. Is that possible in any way? Is there any good online documentation available? I searched through this group and on Google but couldn't find anything usefull.

For example, user selects his default home apk and I want him to reconsider his choice once again. I know how to do that on 2.1 and before, but is there a way to do that now on 2.2? Famous Home Switcher, which did similar thing, does not work on 2.2 anymore thanks to google team.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat I did was create two .java files. One that can compile and run on a 1.5 phone (SDK3) and then one that works on 2.0(SDK5) So for this example i'll call the 1.5 file ExampleOld and the new one Example. I was wondering if i just made activity like this if it would work sort of like a "portal" and pick the activity to load depending on the SDK so there is no crash or compile errors. Are there any changes I should make to my code? Maybe anyone out there that's had to do this before.

In almost all browsers (except chrome) I can't use file browsers. For example, if I wanted to attach a picture to this post I can't. I can click manage attachments, but when I choose "choose fie", nothing opens.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an app that needs to know when the users wants to open some files, previusly configured in my app, and act before the file is served.
I assume I'll need to know when the user wants to open any file (and compare the file's name with my list) and the device must probably be rooted, but I can't find a way to know that a file is required for the user or for some application the user is using and requests the file.
I've thought about Broadcast receivers, but this option needs that 'open' generates a broadcast message, what I didn't find that is done.
Also I thought about the linux mods, that can be used to manage system calls, but I didn't find any way to include it (the linux instruction modprobe doesn't work on Android and I didn't found an equivalent one).
My android application has two kinds of preferences:
1) I have user preferences defined in res/xml/preferences.xml so that users can manage their preferences with a PreferenceActivity.
2) I'd like to define another file for global configuration preferences of my app.
What is the best way to manage my app config preferences? Should I create another XML file with config values or should I specify those config values in strings.xml? What is the best practice for managing config preferences?

I have a listview with two labels, title and subtitle. I want to have dark and light background as user options. Title has textAppearanceMedium and subtitle has textAppearanceSmall. I want the style, MyTheme.Dark to have white color text and MyTheme.Light to have black color text. Is there a way to define multiple textAppearance attribute for the same TextView widget?
<style name="MyTheme.Dark">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/black</item>
<item name="android:colorBackground">@color/black</item>
<item name="android:background">@color/black</item>
<item name="android:divider">@color/white</item>
--cannot put textAppearance here since it is different for title and subtitle

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I added a "corp" email to my X. However, when i compose a new message, or reply to one, in the TO: field, there is a "+" icon, click it and it will bring up names. NOW - If you SEARCH for someone, say Mike. when it finds them all, there are no check boxes. you can only select the contact. When you Do, it drops you back to the new message, but the contact is NOT in the To: field. Its just blank. If i Scroll to Mike, and select him, I get a set of 2 emails for him, which check boxes. I select the one i want and press done. Now i get dropped back to the email, and Mike is in the to: field. WHAT am I doing wrong, that I cant Search for someone and add him to the to: field. Long press just brings up delete. Is this why BB still wins corp email?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo, I've been reading all the posts on how to root and as a Linux power-user I'm good with all that. I've seen reference to a couple of ROMs, but no comprehensive list of them or what they do. Is there such a repository or list somewhere that would allow me to look through a list of popular ROMs and choose one?
Another question, that might pre-empt the 1st... I like the stock 2.1 DROID, the only things I really want to be able to do are to overclock and remove a couple of the stock applications that I have no desire to look at. My reading indicates that I might not even need a custom ROM to do this, is this accurate?

Going to a contact to choose is getting annoying !
I have had this same problem happen twice to me on 2 different phones on 2 different Verizon accounts!
The password screen locks and when it asks for the user name and password it states invalid user name / password!
Is this a known problem since when I called and talked to both Verizon and HTC the only thing they could tell me was to do a hard reset and they weren't aware of this problem?
