I have a simple app with a surfaceview nothing special one would say. However when installing on my phone I get two warnings.
1 - Phone calls
- read phone state and identity
2 - Storage
- modify/delete SD card content.
My really is nothing more than a simple puzzle and I dont understand why I get these warnings.

Anyone know what providing an application access to "Phone calls: read phone state and identity" actually does?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy android app has nothing to do with phone calls, but I'm seeing that when I install a debug build on my test device it requires "Phone Calls: read phone state and identity" permissions. (I make no mention of this in AndroidManifest.xml). I'd like to have the minimum possible permissions, and wondered if anyone knew how to get rid of this? I commented out the part where I was logging some stuff from Build.MODEL, Build.VERSION.*, etc. I also commented out the part where I was detecting the landscape/portrait orientation thinking that that might be the "phone state". But neither of those seemed to remove that permission required.
I found this bug report but it's marked working-as-intended with a note about permissions being correct from the market but not otherwise. Is this other people's experience? (I'd hate to have to publish to the market just to test that out.) Otherwise, does anyone know if there's an API I can avoid calling that will make it so my app doesn't need this permission?
I really really really want a kindle 2 reader, but it isn't my birthday until December, so I've downloaded the kindle for Android application to my Sony Ericsson X10 Experia, I've only downloaded one book so far, but I read it within a day, I noticed at the end of the book that it said "quick read". Are all the books supplied quick reads? Is this the same on the Kindle reader? If this is the case I won't be buying one, I want the full version of the books!

The blogposts are stored in databases, so I figured that the only thing I had to do was to query an online database for the posts that I want to show.. But I canīt find a way to open a connection to an online database. anyone out there with a solution to my problem?

View 18 Replies View RelatedI am writing a app that reads a file from the internal storage on startup. I have followed the guildelines here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#file...
It successfully works on the emulator, and I can find the file my app created under
DDMS > data > data > com.MyAppName > files.
Now I would like to install my app on a real device, but do I need to explicitly copy the file onto the device? If so, what's the location should I copy the file to? Or will the file be created when I install my app? I need some pointers or guidelines, I'm quite clueless about the device. Or perhaps if anyone knows any keywords for me to search for an answer.

View 3 Replies View Relatedi've registered a PhoneStateListener in BOOT_COMPLETED receiver by using following call: tm.listen(new TestCallStateListener(), PhoneStateListener. LISTEN_ CALL _STATE); If the application crashes then system automatically unregisters the PhoneStateListener. Is there any mechanism of checking if particular PhoneStateLister is registered or not? Actually i'm thinking of starting a repeating service by AlarmManager which will check if PhoneStateListener is registered or not . And if it's not registered then service will register it again. Just a backup if application crashes. Is this a good approach or there is some better mechanism to make sure that PhoneStateListener is always registered even if application crashes ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen you scan a qr code, the Dx auto downloads the application installer and executes it. Is there a way (possibly on the pc instead) to just download the app installer, and archive it for later use? I'm thinking about things like fancy widgets, that had to be removed, updated apps that are not as attractive as the original release, or applictions that might just vanish over time. They are all small, and I'd prefer to archive them on our PC, just in case. Is there a way to pull the installers off the internal memory of the phone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a little confused by what I'm seeing with regards to phone state transitions via the PhoneStateListener. When I receive a call, this is what happens: (call comes in) RINGING -> IDLE (I pick up) OFFHOOK (I hang up) IDLE It's that first transition from RINGING to IDLE without any interaction from me (not ending the call, not answering the call) that confuses me. Do I really have to implement an idle counter to know that an incoming call has really ended? Seems like the reported phone state represents some sort of phone state that isn't the obvious one.Is this a bug or am I just not in tune with the paradigm here?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI developed an "heavy" application (700 Mb !). With an "apk installer" application, i can install it on the Nexus One SD card (Froyo "installLocation" option). My application is heavy because of the videos it contains (located in /raw directory). The problem I have, is that it crashes when launched, with this error :

I dont't understand the reason of this error, because when i try the same thing with a lighter application (250 Mb) it runs perfectly. Has anyone of you ever had this kind of problem ? Do you know if there is a size limit for applications to work ?
I have an HTC Evo. I hope I'm posting in the correct area. I had my phone number changed and the phone identity shows the old number. How can I change it? I ask because I had some voice mails that I didn't know about, I didnt get a notification. When I click on the voice mail icon, it says no voicemail. I have to dial my phone number to get the voicemail.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI cant seem to find any posts about this but it has driven me nuts since I upgraded to Android from my non-smart phone. I don't want to give my number out to every app I install. Yes I understand I can not install apps that require this permission, but is there a way to "Spoof" this permission. in other words if an app requests my phone identity, it would return a fake number instead of my real number?
I am running Cyanogen Jordon
Background; I am in the process of writing an Android messaging application that needs to know the current user's phone number. This is then used to connect to other users using the application. My application relies on looking up the user's number from Android's Settings -> About Phone -> Phone identity -> Phone number (this can at times be blank.. but that is a separate problem). I am assuming that the above Phone number contains the user's full number. ie, my UK Android phone shows my number as: +447832xxxxxxxx, where 44 is the UK's international dialing code and 7832 is the operator. Is it safe to assume that all Androids phones would include the international dialing code, which starts with +? I would be indebted if any Android users could have a quick look at their Android settings and confirm whether Phone number is displayed as +international code+operator+number, i.e. US Android sets start with +1xxxxxx.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI understand how to save an application's state by using SharedPreferences, onSavedInstanceState() & onRestoreInstanceState(), etc as outlined in a similar post ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/151777/how-do-i-save-an-android-applications-state ), but how do I save the last activity?
To be more specific, my application starts up and goes to a login screen. Once a user logs in and navigates through several activities, lets say he or she leaves the app using the home button or in some other way. Next time the user starts the app, it will go back to the login screen and do a login again. Instead, I want the app to start up and go to the last activity that was on top of the stack when the user left the app in the previous session.
How is the last activity saved so that it can be restored on app startup?
Which of the following is/are appropriate for saving the state of an Android application?
a. Activity.onFreeze()
b. Activity.onPause()
c. Activity.onStop()
d. Activity.onDestroy()
e. Activity.onFinish()
I am developing an android application in which,the first activity is that for Login. After successful authentication, user can see an activity with 4 Tabs. My problem is that when user taps on the home button,the application should terminate and when the user again starts my application, he should be able to see the Login screen again and after successful Login, user should be able to see the tab on which he was working before application terminated(i.e., save state for all the tabs).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've encountered a problem wile using my own subclass of android.app.Application. I have numerous activities in my application and I'm running a custom ROM which consumes quite a lot of memory. What happens is when I launch a third party activity (Camera) my Application is killed. My Application subclass stores vital data for the whole app so it can't work without it. android.app.Application doesn't have any methods for saving or restoring application state. Activity does have them but they are not suitable.
How to perform save/restore state on Application subclass?
UPDATE I've managed to do so by filling a Bundle obtained from onSaveInstanceState and restoring values in onCreate. But is there any better way?
Is android have application state, like background or front?I have a situation when need to update same data if app is coming to front.onRestart or onStart is not good idea, because this method fire when we come from another activity.
View 23 Replies View RelatedAs a follow on from my question on sharing state between Activities, how can I save the instance state of my Application? Since Application does not extend Activity, there is no onSaveInstanceState method to override.
NB: In advance, this is not a duplicate. Despite its name, How do I save an Android application's state? relates to Activity state
This is a bit complicated to explain (and my first post), so bear with me please: I am currently trying to figure out the best way of saving my application's state in a bundle on the onSaveInstanceState event (working on a game). My application's state is based on a "world" class which contains various objects. Among these objects there is a creature object which contains bitmaps (Bitmap object)(allowing me to draw the various sprites of the creature when it's walking with more flexibility and accessibility).
Bit of creature constructor Java:
CODE:.................
After looking around for a few hours I found that serializing the world object (and all its sub-objects) was an acceptable way of saving it in the bundle. Unfortunately it appears that we can't serialize bitmaps and considering they're a part of my "creature" I can't seem to see a workaround.
Here come my questions: 1- Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? (not supposed to save bitmaps in objects? supposed to handle bitmaps in a separate class which I don't pass on the bundle and reload my bitmaps when restoring the application? ...) 2- Is there another way of passing my "world" object into my bundle (would using Parcelable work?)
I have a Service which tracks the location of the user. Currently, the Service boots when the application starts and stops when the application terminates. Unfortunately, if users keep the application in the background, the Service never stops and drains battery.
I would like the Service to stop when my application is not in the foreground. I was hoping the Application class would let me Override onPause and onResume handlers, but it does not have them.
