Unix shell users might find this useful. It's a bash script that adds intelligent tab-completion for "adb" commands and options: http://github.com/mbrubeck/android-completion
If you've written any other shell completion scripts for the Android SDK, let me know. I'd be happy to add them to this repository.

I cobbled all of this together from various places on the web, but I think the credit for the binaries goes to Paul @ MoDaCo.
Nandroid before going any further!
Files you'll need:
QuickSSHD (Download this from the Market. $1.50). I'm just going to assume if you're still reading, you know what this is for and how to use it. It's braindead simple. I think dropbear can be installed and configured manually, but for the $1.50...meh.
The rest are zipped up here: terminfo.zip, nano, bash, profile**
Unzip bashnano.zip onto your SDCard.
From adb shell:
CODE:.................
I'm not sure if this setup will have any impact on sh scripts being used in the various ROMs, so use this at your own risk.
This will give you full bash over adb, but I haven't figured out where profile goes to add terminal/color et al. for adb.
Has anybody tried bash scripting on android? I tried to write a simple script on Android's bash shell through adb. Why do I get this error and is there a work around?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using ICS (AOKP with some CM9 patches). I'd like "adb shell" to bring up bash instead of mksh. Is there any way to do this? I tried linking /bin/sh to `which bash`, but that caused system problems--I lost USB debugging completely and had to restore from nandroid backup.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy application has an IntentService which runs periodically to download data from a remote server. The download task is run inside an AsyncTask which has reference to Application context only. The data downloaded is for entire application and is displayed across four different activities. When the download completes(AsyncTask completes) the service is notified of the same. Now, the service needs to notify appropriate activity to update its view. The service is not aware of which Activity of what application is in foreground.
How do I make that connection? How does the service pass a message to the activity in foreground that new data is available and it should update its views?
I have 2 problems with the MultiAutoCompleteTextView.
First and the main one:
How can i get rid of the comma at the end of the completet word when i use the CommaTokenizer. do i have to implement it on my own?
Second problem:
Is it possible to complete in a way that i don't need to press the down button and then enter. i want to type just enter without the down key first like in office applikations or safari.
For some reason my onPostExecute() is not called after my AsyncTask finishes.
My class decleration:
CODE:.......
Everything works fine, my doInBackground() completes successfully and returns a Boolean but then it just finishes.
How do you stop the Android softkeyboard from displaying completed text in a TextView. It is very important for my application that the spelling is not shown. In 1.6 SDK I made the InputType = VisiblePassword and that seemed to stop it, however this does not appear to work in the 2.1 SDK.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy application is basically a image viewer. It is opened from both camera and as a separate application.
I open the image viewer to view and edit the picture. Each edit operation is implemented using thread. If my application closes due to pressing the home button, the next time I open it with camera. It throws anr.
This doesn't always happen. Only when large edit operations or edit operations on large image files are done.
I get out of memory error, sometimes timeout.
I guess it s because the thread doesn't complete the edit operation when home is clicked. and it s still running on the background. so when i open it s unable to process it.
m I right?
If so what is the way to stop a thread before the completion?
I just got the Galaxy S3 today and I noticed that my word completions and autocorrects aren't working. What I'm talking about is if I type in "tezting" it won't correct to "texting" when I press space. I have to manually select it. Also, the substitutions like "dont" to "don't" aren't working either. I have word completion (to 5 letters), spell correction, and auto-substitution checked.

I had my physical keyboard open and I started to get word prediction at the bottom of the screen again. But I cant figure out how to get it every time the physical keyboard is open. Most of the time I get nothing but this is the second time I have seen this at the bottom. Anyone know what going on with this. There isn't a setting for it for built in keyboard settings page. I wish it would work all the time because it is a nice feature.

Is there something missing from this? Some questions have talked about having this problem when creating a dialog from onCreate, which happen because the activity isn't created yet, but this is coming from a call from a menu object, and the appContext variable seems like it is correctly populated in the debugger.
I'm writing an application which connects to a back office site. The backoffice site contains a whole slew of JavaScript functions, at least 100 times the average site. Unfortunately it does not load them, and causes much of the functionality to not work properly. So I am running a test. I put a page out on my server which loads the FireBugLite javascript text. Its a lot of javascript and perfect to test and see if the Android WebView will load it. The WebView loads nothing, but the browser loads the Firebug Icon. What on earth would make the difference, why can it run in the browser and not in my WebView? Any suggestions.
More background information, in order to get the stinking backoffice application available on a Droid (or any other platform except windows) I needed to trick the bakcoffice application to believe what's accessing the website is Internet Explorer. I do this by modifying the WebView User Agent.Also for this application I've slimmed my landing page, so I could give you the source to offer me aid. package ksc.myKMB;

1- Does Android Browser (Éclair code base) support the "plug-in" or not?
2- Why "Google Gears" support is removed from the clair code base?

At first,I have a database created by using Ruby on rails.I just already implement insert function(HTTPPost) in my Android Application and it's work.But I don't know how to retrieve specific record from my databases and insert it back to specific record in Android (Like edit function in RoR)This is my insert code :
private void insertComment() {DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://10.10.3.87:3000/comments");
// Configure the form parameters
List<NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("comment[content]", t_comment.getText().toString();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("comment[id_account]", "1"));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("comment[id_place]", Integer.toString(position)I really try many ways out but it doesn't work and it takes very long time to fight with this piece of code. Actually, I really don't know how to specify RowID to HTTPPost.

This is due to a Market bug which hides apps with bluetooth permissions from android 1.5 and 1.6.
Come on Google fix the market. We spend countless hours making are apps work on ALL android versions and now you do this...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to add a menu option to the Android camera app. Is this possible to do using the current SDK? I know I need to add an intent-filter tag in my activity. But I don't know what I should put in the mime type. I want to be able to process the live camera previews if the user selects the menu option. So what do I put into the type tag of the intent-filter? Also I suppose I won't be using ALTERNATIVE or SELECTED-ALTERNATIVE for the category as I want to deal with the whole intent?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a question about bluetooth RSSI functionality on the Android (either 2.0 or 2.1):
It's easy enough to get the RSSI value when a bluetooth connection is created, but how can you repeatedly get the RSSI value of a connection that is already active? It's really important to be able to do this, because this lets you determine if bluetooth devices are close to each other or far away, but I can't find any appropriate function calls in the Android API.
I am having a bit of a problem with my Android. So what happened was I downloaded "DroidRootPro" from the market. I rooted my phone with this, installed the 800MHZ ROM image, rebooted and the phone came up great. I was actually surprised on how fast it became. Once the phone came back up, I tried installing one of the custom themes that came with that app (I know I should have left it alone). The phone than rebooted and I was never able to bring it back up. It gets stuck in this endless loop where it tries to boot but doesn�t get past the "Droid" splash screen, it just keeps rebooting every time.
Things I have tried:
-Wipe data/factory reset (in recovery mode), no go.
-Wipe cach partition, no go
-Restore from a "nandroid" backup, no go. I tried pretty much every combination of restores and am unable to bring the phone up.
Is there anyway I can download the factory image that comes with the phone, put it on an SD card and restore to that? I have looked all over but cant find any information on this.
