Android :: Any Other Apps Like BetterCut?
Apr 13, 2010Are there any other apps similar to BetterCut?
It's extremely buggy for me in 2.1 and I basically can only load iconpacks, but not individual icons out of gallery, etc.
Would rather use another product if available?
Android :: Bettercut With Camera - People
May 3, 2010I can't get bettercut to launch the People app or the Camera. It says "This program is no longer installed on your device." I'm using a Droid Eris, and can't quite figure it out, although all other programs work fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: BetterCut Eligible Contacts
Oct 11, 2010I'm trying to use BetterCut to create one-touch phone icons on my Droid X. I hold my finger on the screen and get the Add to Home Screen list. I select Shortcuts > Better Cut > Direct Call, and get a list of contacts. But there are only 3 contacts there, out of 400+ in my Contacts list. The one I want isn't among them.
What qualifies a contact for inclusion in this list? All I can guess is that being a Favorite may have something to do with it, because all 3 candidates shown are Favorites. But I have more favorites than just those 3. Can anybody tell me how to get other contacts into that list; or, alternatively, how to pick directly from my contacts list?
Android :: AnyCut BetterCut Make Your Own Thread
Dec 10, 2009A few other threads exist with requests for help on making shortcuts or writing your own code for shortcuts using AnyCut or BetterCut. None of these have been active or helpful.
I am not a developer. I am trying to learn Java, Eclipse, Android SDK, Linux, and AnyCut. I am obviously lost regarding where to start in order to design and develop apps for Android.
I hope this post will become a tutorial with tips and tricks for designing shortcuts using AnyCut's "Make Your Own" option. The "Activity" option will allow most shortcuts but I want a better understanding of what to add to the Action, Data, and Type fields to design shortcuts that successfully navigate android OS.
Please add examples of Make Your Own shortcuts you have created.
Android :: BetterCut - AnyCut And Phone Contacts
Apr 28, 2010Not sure if this is a Desire problem, an HTC Sense problem or a Better/AnyCut problem but has anyone been able to make a direct icon to call or text a phone contact with either App?
I don't sync contacts or calendar to Google but use HTC Sync to sync with my desktop Outlook. It all works well, but of course it means I have no Google contacts on my handset, only phone contacts. Seems that Better/AnyCut can't see these.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: BetterCut - Apps Organizer - FolderOrganizer - Changing Icons On Home Screens
Jun 14, 2010I am wanting to change the icons for a lot of my apps on my home screens. I have been looking at BetterCut, Apps Organizer, and Folder Organizer. Now Apps Organizer is free and Folder Organizer has a free trial version, but Better cut is not free not does BetterCut have a free trial version.
Please tell me what you like/dislike about the apps, primarily BetterCut and Folder Organizer (paid).
*How do they run?
*Are there any major bugs?
Is it easy to change the icons for apps on my home screens?
*Is BetterCut really worth $2?
*Is Folder Organizer really worth $1.35?
Are any of these going to meet my needs of wanting to change the icons on my home screens?
*Are the icons dependant on the app that changed them (in other words, if I uninstall BetterCut after changing an icon, will the icon still be what I changed it to, or will it go back to the default icon)?
*If you had $2 and could only choose one of these apps to change the icons on your home screen, which would you choose?
I am going to play around with the two free versions of these apps and see if I like them, but unfortunately, BetterCut is an all or nothing app. I just don't want to feel like I wasted any money because the app ended up not doing what I wanted it to do.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Tutorial Not Working
Nov 13, 2010I'm on Mac OS X Leopard and installed the ADT plugin into Eclipse Galileo. I followed all these steps to get started:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
My SDK version is 2.2 API 8 revision 2 and I just used the Hello World tutorial found here:
[url]
When I first created the Android application, I saw this error in the Eclipse console:
[2010-11-13 18:20:43 - HelloAndroid] ERROR: Unable to open class file / Users/mydirectory/Documents/workspace/HelloAndroid/gen/com/example/ helloandroid/R.java: No such file or directory
I commented out this line to fill in the few lines from the tutorial:
setContentView(R.layout.main);
When I ran the app, it launched my emulator but all I saw was a vertical screen on the left that said "ANDROID" and phone buttons on the right. I did not see the "Hello, Android" text from the tutorial.

Mar 5, 2010I was working through the Notepad tutorial... http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/notepad/index.html ...and I seem to either have a misunderstanding of what is supposed to be happening, or the code is not working.
Below are two snippets of code from the tutorial to illustrate my questions/concerns:
It looks like this is the "menu" that is brought up when you have no items selected and you press the Menu key...
CODE:...........
This is the behavior that I expected and saw.
However, when I have one of the notes selected, I would expect this code snippet to run...

But it doesn't. I can never get the "delete" option to show up in the tutorial.

Android :: Map View Tutorial App On Emulator
Dec 23, 2009I'm trying to run the Android Hello Map View tutorial app on the Android emulator. The Google Map view displays, but the tiles are blank.
Judging by the errors below (taken from LogCat) the app is unable to connect to the internet. The web browser on the emulator connects without problems. I've also double-checked the API key.I'm using the 1.5 Google APIs SDK, from Eclipse Galileo, on Windows XP SP3, behind a corporate firewall. I've tried two methods to add proxy information:Add -http-proxy http://www.foo.co.uk:80 to Additional Emulator Command Line Options in the Target Page in Debug Configurations.
Remove settings in 1. and add proxy information at Home > Menu > Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Neither seems to help. Any other ideas? Should I be adding proxy information within the app? If so, how? Sam Dutton, AMENDMENT: internet permission has been added to the manifest application element:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Android :: How To Complete Tab Layout Tutorial?
Feb 23, 2010I've been trying to implement the tab UI described in this tutorial: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html I follow all the steps described in the process but I keep getting a runtime exception which I believe has something to do with the fact that nowhere in the tutorial I added the extra activities (songs, artists and albums) related to the content of each tab into the android manifest file. Am I correct? is this tutorial (like many others) faulty or incomplete?
