How can i request the versionName stored in manifext.xml from within my Code?
>manifest.xml
The AndroidManifest.xml contains the version name of the application, something like: android:versionName="1.0"
Now the question - is it somehow possible to access this version name in the source code, so that I can display it for example in an About Dialogue?
I feel like this one it's going to be a silly question but after asking google and the list, I have no answer so... there I go:
Is there any way using "just eclipse" to automatic update android:versionCode and/or android:versionName each time I rebuild my app or every time I export it?
As I don't know any way of doing it with eclipse, I'm thinking about making a build_app script that change the values and use the script before generating the apk file, but I feel like there should be an "really easy" option.
Is there any possibility to set the result of the command svnversion into the tag android:versionName of the Android manifest file?

View 5 Replies View Relatedis there some way to retrieve the manifest.xml of an application from the market, without installing the application? I think the official Market Application somehow get this file (or at least parts of it) to show needed permissions, etc. before installing. I'd be interested in seeing the IntentFilters defined by applications and their activities and processing this information in my application.

I simply want to read the package value in the android manifest...
CODE:......
The reason is simple I have to call context.getResources().getIdentifier(...)and I need the package.
Since this code will be reused in other apps I want to make it fool proof when I export it and therefore not have to change the value each time.
How do I indicate in the manifest multiple packages
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add permissions to my application manifest, so it can access other apps that the user installs at runtime. I thought the way to do this was to define a permission-tree in the manifest, and then use PackageManager.addPermission() to add permissions under that tree. However, I can't get this to work and the documentation I found wasn't conclusive. Could anybody show me how to do this by means of a simple example?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an alarm clock app with one very specific feature - allow me to set the alarm tone to automatically stop after X seconds, then start again at the next snooze interval, and play for another X seconds.
Sure it seems every alarm app out there allows me to set Snooze intervals and stuff, but with my waking up habit, I don't like to physically have to touch the phone to get it to shut up until the next snooze interval. I like to lay in bed and let the alarm go for like 3-4 snooze intervals before I finally wake up.
I've tried Alarm Clock PlusV2, Alarm Clock Xtreme, Quick Alarm. None of them seem to have this.
I installed it on my Droid and when I open the list and long press on an app it gives me the option to Auto-Kill. I assume this means I won't have to kill this app any longer so I select this option but I find that I keep having to kill the same apps over and over again. What's the point of Auto-Kill or what am I doing wrong? There are lots of programs (most I didn't even install) that run all the time and I'm having battery issues so I don't have battery to waste on programs I'm not using and will probably never use.
View 22 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to tell Android to do the following when setting the background image for a TextView?
1. Scale the image so that it's just large enough to fill the the entire viewing area without any black borders, while still maintaining its aspect ratio. This might require clipping once the image is actually displayed, but that's OK (read on).
2. Then, center the image in the viewing area, both horizontally and vertically.
3. Finally, clip the image to the size of the viewing area, without any further rescaling.
I'm guessing that this kind of image processing is not automatically done via any of Android's facilities, and that I'll have to do it myself. If this is a correct assumption, could someone point me to some documentation or some examples which could explain how I can accomplish this? I'm guessing that I'll have to subclass my TextView and implement my own onDraw() method, but could someone confirm or deny that assumption?
So, I added the receiver (contained in application) in the manifest. Broadcast doesn't fire my broadcast receive.
<receiver android:name="mypkg.IncomingCallReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.telephony.TelephonyManager.ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED"/ >
</intent-filter>
I have two applications A and B (in different packages). A can send an explicit intent to B to perform some kind of action. Then,I enforced a permission in application B called "my.permissions.B_PERMISSION ". The A application can still call B despite the fact that it doesn't have the appropriate <uses-permission> in its manifest. Have I understood something wrong?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a launched android application that works fine most of the time. However 1 in about 1000+ runs I get an android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class exception.

The crash reports show it failing on all OS's from 1.5 to 2.1.
I see that multiple broadcasts (ACTION_TIME_TICK, for example) cannot be registered in the manifest, the must be explicitly registered via Context.registerReceiver(). I am having trouble with the ACTION_USER_PRESENT broadcast intent. Specifically, I test on the emulator and my application keeps force closing with the error:

This is caused by

My manifest is fairly simple:

I am essentially attempting to create a Receiver that is awakened as soon as possible after my application is installed. The first time it is awakened, it registers a few listeners, and then it unregisters itself so it is never called again. (I really wish there was an intent fired immediately after your app had been installed, to allow a small bit of setup.
In the android manifest on the first line "" I'm getting an error marker (with a red X). When I mouse over the red x it says- "Manifest attribute 'minSdkVersion' is set to '2.1'. Integer is expected."

I've spent quite a bit of time on this and am inclined to file a bug report at this point.

I haven't been able to find anything like this, so if there is, an RTFM pointer will be humbly accepted.
I am trying to understand the main differences between registering a BroadcastReceiver in the Manifest and registering it programmatically...
My understanding is basically as follows - would appreciate someone correcting my points if I am missing something.
Registered in Manifest:
- The OS will magically find and instantiate your class if needed, calling the onReceive() method, regardless what the running state of your application was
- Your receive will only get called once per broadcast (i.e. You can consider that registering in the manifest is like registering your 'class' for receiving the broadcast - and the broadcast instantiates your class as needed) (??)
Registered Programmatically:
- registering in code means that you are registering instances of your class to receive broadcast messages (i.e. if your code is a little sloppy, and you manage to register several times, you will end up with multiple BroadcastReceiver instances all having their onReceive() called for a broadcast
- to deregister, you need to deregister the specific BroadcastReceiver instance that you previously registered
- if your application gets destroyed by the OS, your onReceive() method will not be called for a broadcast

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a custom title bar that I would like to apply to all my activities. I have searched online and found a few ways of doing that however I have ran into a problem. It seems that despite the fact I have a TextView in my titlebar with id @android:/title, Android will not use the value defined in the manifest in android:label for each activity.
I tried also calling setTitle(R.string.myTitle) but it still will not render it! If I manually put some text in my TextView in the xml it shows up fine. How can I have a custom title bar that is linked and makes Android use my manifest values for labels? I do not want to lose the setTitle() or the XML attributes functionality.
