Users of my application will engage a feature that temporarily uses the accelerometer. I would like to disable support for orientation changes while this feature is active. Is there an API for this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy main activity has some code that makes some database changes that should not be interrupted. I'm doing the heavy lifting in another thread, and using a progress dialog which I set as non-cancellable. However, I noticed that if I rotate my phone it restarts the activity which is REALLY bad for the process that was running, and I get a Force Close.
What I want to do is programatically disable screen orientation changes until my process completes, at which time orientation changes are enabled.
Can I temporarily disable automatic orientation changes in my Activity? I want to do this when my app does some background internet communication.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Google Voice, which I recently discovered counts against my minutes when it sends me a transcript/recording of my voicemails (this is because VZ forwards calls to GV and charges for the time). I am leaving the country and the cost of calls overseas is $2/minute. I need to avoid charges for calls where people leave me voicemail messages, so I need to disable GV for the time I'm overseas. I can't figure out how to temporarily disable GV.

To provide feedback from the user for game I'm writing.This event fires off some game control events that take some time to complete (because there is animation involved).The problem I'm having is during the animation if I keep touching the screen (AKA firing this event),Basically while the animation is running, I do not need this event, although it would be nice to queue it.What can I do to prevent the timeout and either queue the event, or temporarily disable it?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way in an Android application to store a password within the memory as long as the application is running (cf. different activities). I was first thinking about the SharedPreferences, but then it's saved in the flash memory, which isn't that good for a password, I guess.
I'm unsure, what's the best way. What would you recommend me?
I started using Handcent's SMS to manage my phone's messages and I really like it. But now I want to disable the standard messaging app that was included with my Evo because I get two notifications, I'd like to just get handcent's SMS. So how do I disable HTC's messaging app so that I can use Handcent's SMS only?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to make an Activity temporarily not rotatable (like, turning it on/off in code, not in the manifest)?
One of my old apps crashes if you rotate while it's doing an HTTP lookup as the views are no longer attached when it returns. One of these days I'll fix it proper, but in the mean time it'd be useful if I could just make the thing not-rotatable while it's doing the lookup.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a general guideline for application developers about when to disable haptic responses? I know there are ways to enable/disable long-press haptics, but if an application was created to use haptic feedback for other events are there guidelines that application developers should follow? For example, if the user was to go into Settings->Sound & display -> Haptic and set that to OFF, should all applications refer to this setting as a rule of thumb?
From and end user point of view, I would like to have global control of haptic feedback especially if I find it to be annoying. I have seen several postings in the android forums looking for a "global override" to haptic responses. Ultimately, I think it is a question of should each application provide a menu to enable/disable haptic support, or should this be more of a global Setting for the device.
I personally feel applications should refer to the global setting, but would like to get feedback from other developers about this. Reference postings I was referring to: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-general-discussions/6812-hapti... http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/13633-how-do-you-disable-vibr.
I am experiencing an annoying problem with an Android project in Eclipse. All my other Android projects are okey (at the moment). Whenever I perform a clean (Menu:Project->Clean...) the project gives an error and I can't compile/run the app. The error is: Project 'Project Name' is missing required source folder: 'gen'
As soon as I edit some code the problem disappears until I perform a clean again. I can also right-click on the gen-folder and delete it. Eclipse will recreate the gen-folder and the problem disappears until I perform a clean. This is not a showstopper but it is really annoying since I sometimes have to do a clean before I run the app.
I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything. Does anyone here know how to turn an email account off temporarily? I use my phone primarily for work so when I am at work I don't want to have to delete emails throughout the day. I only want to be able to turn if on when I am out of the office.
Anyone know how to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello everyone. Is there a feature or a check box that I am missing that allows you to turn off the little text labels beneath the application icons on the home screen? I'm kind of doubtful, but a search did not return an answer. It would certainly clean up the home screen. Plus a lot of labels are "cut off" due to length and that is just annoying.
