I know how to autostart after boot with the BOOT_COMPLETED intent action, but I didn't find how to autostart an application just after it has been installed on the device.For my application I would like to set an alarm after the install, I looked at the PACKAGE_ADDED intent action but it says that the newly installed package does not receive this broadcast.Any advice?

Followed the instructions in http://developer.android.com/sdk/adding-components.html for adding 2.0 as components to an existing 1.6 SDK, from within Eclipse. It didn't work. Not by a long shot. Instead, it got partway through and then said that C:android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1 empDocPackage.new01 couldn't be copied because of a lock, and similarly for PlatformPackage.new01. It said to shut down running programs, but the only program running was Eclipse, which was needed to do the upgrade. The cancel button was disabled, and the close box didn't work. Shutting down Eclipse killed it, but left C:android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1 in a corrupted state. Restarting Eclipse showed the Android projects with errors, no SDK, and a disabled Android SDK and AVD Manager (which means no ability to rerun the install). Shutting down Eclipse, renaming the corrupted SDK directory, unzipping 1.6 again into C:, and restarting Eclipse made it as if nothing had ever happened, which is good. But it is not possible to complete the install from Eclipse, which is bad.

Current configuration contains errors that are not corrected by the requested operation and more errors would be introduced. See details for more information.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to run a few test packages on my device through a shell script which runs every night and for that I need to run the adb reboot command. My problem is that the 'adb reboot' command does make the system reboot, but it never completes (I need to do a keyboard interrupt if I run it manually in order to issue another command) I was wondering if there is anyway I could make my script go to the next command after a certain fixed amount of time? What could be going wrong with the adb reboot command? Sorry if my question is vague.

Am I correct? is this tutorial (like many others) faulty or incomplete?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to delete a complete database created by my application.
Do you know any adb command, or android sentence to do it?
I have 2 apps and both integrate a package containing an activity. My problem is that when I launch any one app, and when it calls the activity inside the package, it shows me a dialog:
Complete action using:
App1
App2
I want to eliminate this dialog, so it just launches the activity from its own integrated package.Currently, my AndroidManifest.xml contains for the package activity:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.test.TestActivity" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am making a wallpaper and I want the user to select a folder. So I have a button in the preferences that launches an intent to open an image, but what I want is actually just a directory (I guess in the worst case I can strip the filename from the end). So thats my first problem. The second problem is how do I get notified of when the intent is complete?
public class FilePreference extends DialogPreference implements View.OnClickListener {
public void onClick(View v) {
// open up a gallery/file browser
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Folder"));
}
I'm dealing with a problem you guys might not have faced earlier. I'm having a use-case in my Android application where the actual screen that I want to show to user is not stored in any layout file of my application. The layout of the of the screen is designed by server in this case, based on selection made by user on first screen.
Let me elaborate here,
1st Screen : List of check box with different biller names. (Imagine I've selected 2 billers from this screen)
2nd Screen : (The screen that server has decided how it should look like)
* Header,
* 1st Biller name (Label)
* Amount for 1st Biller TextBox
* Image (a Separator image)
* 2st Biller name (Label)
* Amount for 2st Biller TextBox.
* Here there can be a checbox/radio/another TextBox anything.
* Image (a Separator image)
* Button (to submit above form back to server)
I hope makes some sense in what I'm planning to design. The current issues I'm dealing with are as below.
1). How to draw this dynamic widgets?
2). How to fetch user Inputs from this dynamically created widgets?
Several Droid users have reported that my app's entire database just destroys itself randomly after a few days or so. This seems to be specific to the Droid. I'm at a loss. My app has a service that runs in the background to display notifications, it also supports widgets. Both of those (and the app itself, of course) access the database, and I marked every accessor to the database "synchronized", just in case. Any remote idea what could cause the entire database to just vanish?

Bit of bad practice in there I know but I haven't spent a ton of time developing Java apps. Anyways the problem:

//Url load and parse time. // Now we can start a thread for the search
Thread thread = new Thread(this); thread.start();
I need update media list to be called when:
public void run() { // search
String URL = this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("searchurl");
sm.LoadResults(URL+"?android=1"); listLoaded = true; }
is done. However calling it from the thread will crash Android. Did many google searches but found nothing. How can I call updateMediaList when the thread is complete? (from the UI thread)

I created a method and keep getting an error that I need to include a } at the end of my method. I put the } in and the error is still there!

I am a newcomer to Android having recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S I9000M (my first smartphone ever), marketed in Canada under the name Vibrant. It is running Android 2.1 and I have not yet rooted, unlocked or otherwise modified the phone.
I have downloaded and installed three browsers in addition to the stock Internet browser: Dolphin, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile.
After installing Opera Mobile I started having the following annoying problem:
When I was in the stock browser, every time I clicked a link the "Complete action using" window would pop up prompting me to select which browser I want to use. The choices were: Dolphin, Internet and Opera Mini (curiously, no Opera Mobile). I would check the "Use by default for this action" box and proceed to click "Internet" (the stock browser), which should have made the stock browser my default one. However, next time I clicked a link it would happen all over again.
This happened only in the stock browser, never in Dolphin or one of the Operas.
It's like my Android kept forgetting my choice of default browser although in the settings for the stock browser it said it was default.
I also noticed that after the installation of Opera Mobile the delay between clicking a link in any browser and the browser's reaction became noticeably longer (up to a second).
