I am working on a app that will eventually need to communicate with an external device over the phone USB port. Are there any USB drivers and hooks in the Android OS for such applications.

Bourne to Blog: Negotiating with your Mobile Phone Carrier. I wanted to upgrade to an Android phone, but this would require a "data plan". Some time ago, I was told that since I wanted to keep my plan, I could add unlimited data for an additional $30/month and keep the plan. However, about a month ago, I emailed customer service wanting to do this with the Android phone. They told me can't do this with the Android phone, you'll have to switch to data plan (essentially losing my plan).
So, here's what I did: My dad got me an Android on his "Family Plan" along with my step-mom and step-sister. To add me onto his plan is just an additional $20 per month. So, this made the most economical sense (since I wasn't about to give up my old phone and plan).

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow does BaseAdapter communicate with its ListView? I was wondering how the BaseAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() method notifies the attached View that the underlying data has been changed and it should refresh itself? When creating a BaseAdapter you attach it to the View with.So the ListView then knows it's adapter to get list elements. But you never tell the BaseAdapter what ListView it is attached to. So when you call BaseAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() how does it reach the View to tell it to refresh itself?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm loading up a webview with some locally generated html and javascript.It makes calls to app methods just fine.But what's the right way to get data from Javascript back to the application? It's simple to have javascript call app methods, but any parameters specified in the call on the javascript side don't survive the trip (I just get null in the app).Gross hacks seem obvious (open a url and encode the data in the url), but that can't be right.You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

i have an app widget that has a couple of buttons on it, and in my onUpdate() call, I am hooking up the buttons to do something when you press them
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName (), R.layout.appwidget); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button1, button1PendingIntent); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button2, button2PendingIntent);
The problem is that when I click on button2, it sends the button1 pending intent. i think that's because it's reusing the pending intent. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. "If the creating application later re-retrieves the same kind of PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action, data, categories, and components, and same flags), it will receive a PendingIntent representing the same token if that is still valid, and can thus call cancel() to remove it." So then the question is, how do I communicate which button was pressed?
My intention is to let two applications communicate using DBus . i know that DBus is already integrated into android,Dbus binaries DBus send,DBus-monitor,DBus-daemon are already available. i am trying to create an application which will connect to the Dbus and start sending signals and messages over DBus . for this i have used basic DBus API's to establish connection to the bus.
I have written native code to connect to the DBus.here is the code

I currently have a Service and an Activity in my application.I currently bind the Service to the activity without using AIDL as the Service and the Activity are in the same application.This allows me to call the methods from the Service within my Activity when I require them, however it doesn't let me call the methods of the Activity from within my Service when I want to.Can anyone comment on what would be the best way to achieve this?I could use Intents but is there an alternative option?I want to have tight communication between the Service and the Activity, I want to be able to call an Activity method from my Service when an event happens.
I now have it working the way I want, however I have come across a problem.My service gets status updates and my Activity is then supposed to react to the update sent on from the Service.The problem is that when I start my activity I get the Dialling Status and then Connected status before the onBind is called and I get the instance of iCallDialogActivity.
I need to be able to use my iCallDialogActivity when I get the Dialling and Connected Status notifications.But this gives me a NullPointer Exception due to it not being created in time when my Activity starts, binding is the first thing I do in my Activities onCreate().Is there a way to make it bind straight away?
I am not a fan of the stock Android UI, and I really like HTC's SenseUI. Just thought I'd ask if there is a port of SenseUI for the Droid. By the way, I know that there is a SenseUI theme for ShadowROM. I am running that on my phone now.

I noticed when I plug in the usb cord to my computer, no matter what I set it at (charge only, mount hard drive, etc....) the computer makes the noise like i've unplugged something from the usb even though everythings still plugged in. once it does that the phone is no longer charging and I cant see the hard drive anymore until I unplug and replug it back in. then it does it again within a minute or two.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAn application I'm building uses a local Service for downloading files from the web to the phone's SD card. In this app users can browse lists of books, and read them while online. A user can also download a pdf copy of a book for offline viewing. To handle downloads I'm using a locally bound Service. I do not want this Service to run all the time, only when downloading files. So that the Service can shut itself down when its tasks are complete, I am not binding to the service, rather I'm sending an "enqueue for download" command through the Intent passed to Context.startService.
Books available for download are shown in a list. A user can choose to download a book by clicking on its row in the list. On download, I need to show download progress using a ProgressBar on the actual book list row. I need to also show, on the rows, if a book is enqueued for download, or if its download has completed or failed. The books can be shown in different activities throughout the application--in search, or in the user's list of favorite books, for example. When the books are shown in different places, these are not the same objects, but they are uniquely identified by their bookId...............
I have an application A and a application B that both have an activity. Now i want to send Data from activity A1 to activity B1 and back. Whats the easiest way to to dis? I tried to use Remote Service via AIDL, but this doesn't work very well in both directions because I only can pass the primitives data types and not every object i like (ok i would have to implement parceable but this is not really practicle). Then i read this post by Dianne Hackborn.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a service that listens to a socket. When receiving certain input it is to create an activity. When receiving other input, it is to kill this activity. I have struggled for a while to make the service communicate with the activity through AIDL (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/aidl.html), but this seems to not be effective. I think AIDL is only effective when the process that is to be talked to is a service, not when it is an activity? I would love some directions or suggestions on how to solve my problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have written a command line interface program in the C language. This kind of programs (as you know) waits for user commands typed in the terminal and reacts on depend of them. In fact, the program implements a callback function which parses the command and invokes the appropriate function in order to respond to the user.Now, I have to make a Java GUI (Graphical user interface) for the desktop (Ubuntu) version of this program and then port the same program to the Android Platform (of course the GUI will respect Android framework), so I'm looking for the best way to do it.I have heard about JNI and JNA and I don't known which one will be the best for me. By the way what are the main differences between JNI and JNA.
