Application already deployed. No need to reinstall. If I've changed my code it doesn't recognise the change unless I clean the project. It then uploads a new apk! I didn used to have to do this after a change!. "Build automatically" is specified in eclipse, so I can't understand why it's not uploading a new apk after a change.

I deleted Gtalk without realizing it was connected to my downloads. Is there a way to reinstall this app?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm working on the upgrade process for an Android app and am having a hard time ensuring a graceful shutdown of the old version. Can someone explain how the old version of the app is killed and if there is anything we can do to hook into the process? In more detail:
We notice that a new version of our app is available and launch a new activity with Intent.ACTION_VIEW pointing to the new apk file (or to the marketplace, once our app is there). However, the user has 2 chances to abort the install (once at the warning about reinstalling the app, and the second when warned about the permissions our app needs). My understanding is that I can't use startActivityForResult() with ACTION_VIEW, so I can't find out if the Action is aborted or not. So we can't tell if/when the install has been started.
We'd like to ensure that our app shuts down cleanly since we use a lot of native code and threads. We could kill our app proactively, as soon as we launch the ACTION_VIEW activity, but then we're left in a bad state if the user aborts. We could wait for the installer to remove our files, prior to installing the new version, but that's a hack. Is there any clean way to do this? Our main window is never seeing an onDestroy(), btw.
At first, I thought it was just a problem with my code, but I've since discovered that this problem applies even to the default, unmodified app templates I can choose from when creating a project in Eclipse. Every app only takes up a fraction of the screen. Here's my layout for an example, but again, it affects all of them:
CODE:.....
The specified screen resolution is, as in the droid, 854x480. It shows up in the emulator in horizontal or vertical mode. The map starts about a third of the way from the left and ends about a third of the way from the right. It starts at the top and ends about a third of the way from the bottom of the screen. I have no clue why that would happen, as I specified "fill_parent".
I've tried a variety of things. I switched to a linearlayout, as one page I saw recommended. I tried spelling out absolute layout widths. I tried all sorts of stuff. The map stubbornly remains surrounded by black on all sides. One thing I noticed was that when I specified widths and heights that were really large, way bigger than the screen, the map showed up as pure white instead of as a map. But it still had the black all around the map as described above. The title bar likewise is truncated by the black bars on either side and only takes up 1/3 of the width, whether in landscape or portrait mode.
The apps that come by default on the emulator take up the fullscreen, but everything I install from Eclipse does not.
I am deployed to Afghanistan right now and it's killing me that all these new games are coming out for the Droid and I can't download and play them in my free time. If the community could find it in their hearts to email me the apk so i could play in my downtime that would be greatly appracated and awesome.. Games like Angry Birds, the open feint games that came out and really anything else..
View 7 Replies View RelatedI had a free version of an app. I upgraded the app and paid through paypal, when I did this, the developer sent me an upgrade password. Now the problem is, when I reset my phone or get a warranty replacement I have to send the developer an email to get a new password, which is kind of a pain. Is there a way around this where I can reinstall the app without going through this every time?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter months of cursing my phone (MyTouch3g, old one, "B" type), I decided to try a new firmware/ROM as one last chance before I threw it in a river. I have never done this before so I had to learn it all from scratch, I think I did it right...anyway I am now running CyanogenMod 5.0.8 Firmware 2.1 (p.s. I feel like i could take a final exam in computer science now...). All is good, it is fast, pretty and has a few bells and whistles my old OEM rom didn't. But, I don't have ANY APPS. Only camera, gallery, browser, messaging, contacts and dialer. Obviously Cyanogen can not include Google proprietary apps in its package. I did install something that allowed me to sign into my Gmail account (Gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip) so now I get new email notifications, and my contacts list is populated with my google contacts, but I have no "gmail" icon anywhere.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI notice that my app's data on external storage (i.e. SD card) gets deleted during an "adb install -r". While this is normal for uninstall (and then afterwards install optionally to notice it), I do not understand why this is the case for reinstall (and thus for Market updates as well). I could have sworn this was not always the case.
Referring to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal I am specifically using "Accessing files on external storage" on Android 2.2, but not "Saving files that should be shared" or "Saving cache files". So I am writing and reading data in "/sdcard/Android/data//files/somefolder/data". My preferences do stick.
@Commonsware: The problem is not so much with getExternalFilesDir() IMHO as I see my data is written where I expect it. It just does not stick. I am using a.o.:
public static File getDefaultDirectory(Context context, String packageName) { File dir;
if(mActivity_getExternalFilesDir!=null){//API >=8
dir = invokeGetExternalFilesDir(context, "fortune");
}else if(mEnvironment_getExternalStorageDirectory!=null){//API <=7
dir = invokeGetExternalStorageDirectory();
dir = new File(dir.getPath() + "/Android/data/" + packageName + "/files/");
}else{ //should never occur return null;
}return dir;
}
Is there a way to reinstall all the apps in one click after I wiped my android clean?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed some apps from Android Market to my Galaxy y. I needed to reset the factory settings and all the apps in the phone was erased. I only wanted to delete the email account. I tried to go to Android Market to reinstall. But it won't get in my phone anymore even when I click on install. There is a button that says installed. I checked on "manage account" setting and none of the applications are there. From Android market, when I click on "My Library" I see all the apps that I have downloaded before.
Question: Is it not possible to reinstall these free apps again? If so how do I do it?
I don't have LED light or anything like it installed. Running stock 3.29 unrevoked, no other custom kernels/ROMs.Camera half the time doesn't start. If I clear the camera cache/data, it'll sometimes run but all the colors are wacky. Like whites show up as bright pinks and greens. I've tried manipulating the white balance, hue, etc.. with absolutely no change. Same effect with camcorder or a 3rd party camera app like zoomFx.Do I need to reinstall the camera.apk?

Motorola Milestone OS 2.1 - update1
I had my Evo rooted with Unrevoked and then it stopped working when I did the OTA update (I believe this happened for everybody). So then I uninstalled Unrevoked and I saw that Superuser Permissions was still there in the apps list, so I uninstalled that too. But now I think I want Superuser Permissions back, but it didn't get installed when I tried to install Unrevoked again. How can I get it back? Also, am I correct that it was bundled along with Unrevoked when I installed it the first time, or is it park of the Android OS?

The new rom doesn't have it (super cook that most Rome remove the bloatware ) The closest I have seen for a apron is to flash Fresh, it puts the sprint apparently in a aspirate folder on the SD card, then coy and install it back into my current rom. I really don't want too have to wipe, just to come back to the same thing.
My N1 has been giving me all sorts of issues so I would like to reinstall the standard Rom that the phone comes with. Where can I get this from as I could not find it on the htc site.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an app that is a shell in which a user will purchase and load business information from 29 separate, purchasable regions in the US. These regions are database driven, and I'm still modifying the database for 2014 data. This is a test environment. The problem I'm having is that once I've simulated the purchase of a region (let's say, Chicago), my device apparently caches that data, so that when I update the database, the updates don't push through. I've tried clearing the cache on the app, erasing all the app data, and disabling the Backup & Restore feature on the device, then completely uninstalling the APK. But when I reinstall a the APK from scratch, it installs with the Chicago region already showing as having been purchased, still showing the old database data.
how can I get the APK to reinstall as if for the very first time, with no previous purchases or downloads, so that it pulls fresh data from the DB?
