Android : Can't Find Any Official Documentation About "content://sms/"
May 14, 2010
I have a question about the "content://sms/" provider.
I use it in my app but can't find any official documentation about it.
Is it to old? Or to new? Can I use it or is it deprecated and will removed in future?

I am able to access my photos, friends etc., but when I click on News Feed, I get "No Content. An error has occurred while fetching data. MalformedJSON". Deleted/re-installed and made no difference.

I have written the following content provider, but when I try to pull information from it into an array,I presume its something to do with my naming of the CONTENT_URI or something? I'm not quite sure how it works so could anyone explain a bit and spot what I have done wrong?

Just as the title says, I guess CM6 is officially out for download, but does not come up in Rom Manager, or searched CM's site, and doesn't have a "stable" build listed for DInc.

My application generates an HTML file which needs to be displayed to the user . For this purpose I'm using the loadData() API provided by Webview. This HTML file is updated every 2 secs & the same is loaded again using loadData() to display the updated values. On reloading the file the Webview starts displaying again from the top of the file causing the user to always scroll down to the location where he previously was. This causes a very bad user experience. To overcome this issue an alternative that I could think of was to split the file to multiple files that can exactly fit in the the screen. For this I need to find the height of the HTML content that can loaded in a web view. From the WebView documentation I found that an API getContentHeight() is provided for this purpose. Although this method returns me 0 on the first attempt. On subsequent attempt it gives me the height of the page that was previously loaded.

This may seem like a stupid question but I need to be sure. I was wondering if it was possible to pro-grammatically change the Content Provider used when making a query given a Content URI. The reason being I need to know if it's possible to force the Calendar/Contacts applications to read from a different database via a different Content Provider temporarily while my application is running, so that I can reuse those applications to display my own data. Since the Content URI s are hard coded in each of these applications the only way it might be possible is if we could somehow temporarily change the Content Provider used for a given URI. I know this probably isn't possible, I just need to show it isn't. Could someone confirm this can't be done?

I noticed WebView seemed to have some new methods I didn't remember from before. Unfortunately I can't tell exactly which ones are new, without actually trying them and waiting for the SDK to catch the mistake.Could the docs please state in which API release a method, class, interface, enum etc was added? This is pretty fundamental to know when trying to figure out how to implement something.

I'm using Eclipse with the Android SDK. I installed The SDK platform Android 1.6, API 4 using Android SDK and AVD manager, but I can't find the corresponding documentation in the list of the available packages (there's only the doc for the API 7). Where can I find it?

I have been using the Android documentation for a few days now, and it is quite good and easy to read. Apart from that I noticed that I missed something, and now I found out what it is: Examples and comments.
If you look at the PHP documentation (e.g. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php for the PHP substr() function) you will see many syntax-highlighted examples and comments by users.
Of course there are examples in the Android documentation, especially in the Dev Guide category - they just are not at the right place if one searches the reference for a specific method or functionality. What do you think about this?

The documentation does not make the interation between onUpgrade() and onCreate() clear.
When implementing onCreate() should this create the database at version 1, assuming that onUpgrade will apply all of the patches to bring it up to version x (lets say version 5 for example)? Or should onCreate build the latest version of the database, and onUpgrade is only used to upgrade legacy clients.
I kind of prefer the first, because it effectively means that the same SQL is executed for everybody. Whereas the second options means that there is a potential for onCreate to build something slightly different to the succession of patches built by onUpgrade.
I can always make onCreate call into onUpgrade, however, this is the kind of implementation detail that should go into the javadocs...

A small notice here to say I found an error in the documentation, when building a radio button context menu in XML.
On this page, in the Menus section, under 'Elements and Attributes' for the <group> tag. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resourc...
"checkableBehavior - Whether the items are checkable. Valid values: none, all (exclusive / radio buttons), single (non-exclusive / checkboxes)"
This should actually be the other way round: * all (non-exclusive / checkboxes) * single (exclusive / radio buttons)

I am Graduating in Computing Science, and my final project is a complete research in Android's Platform, with a development of an application. I would like to know how can I get the complete documentation, beacause my research is very thorough, and I relly on books and documentation. The current site I am reading about methods and activities, etc is the Dev Guide on developer.android.com. I don't know if is it complete there. But if you know, could you please show me the link, or tell me how to get it?

I'm trying to find some official android documentation that discusses sleep mode, with a focus on issues that might be of relevance to app developers. For example, things like:
1. What causes a device to enter / exit sleep mode?
2. How are running processes impacted when the device enters sleep mode? (I believe they continue to exist, but don't execute because cpu activity is suspended. When the device wakes up execution picks up where it left off?)
There is some good info in the API docs for PowerManager and WakeLock, but nothing there that explicitly states what I have assumed in point 2 above. Are the above issues (and any other relevant issues) documented anywhere?

I've been looking around for this for a long time but can never seem to find it in the Android documentation. There's all sorts of advanced things I see, but I can never find any solid documentation - there's the shapes package, but it provides no insight on how to use them in xml. The best I can do so far is finding other people's examples.
Is there some magical documentation that exists for the XML shapes?

Does anyone know how to integrate with the new Gallery3D app (cooliris android gallery)? I want to launch that app so it shows the thumbnails for only a specific folder.
For example, say my app downloads images from my server and stores them in a folder on the sd-card (/sdcard/myapp/image-cache/someid/*). I'd like to be able to do something like the following:

On the documentation page "Developing on a Device" http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html there may be two errors in the section "Setting up a Device for Development."
First: To run (not debug) an app on a device, you do not need to set the "debuggable" attribute in the manifest. The documentation implies this is a requirement. It may be a good idea, but, when stepping an absolute beginner through the process of running their first app, this is an unnecessary detour.
Second: The instructions for turning on USB debugging don't mention the Settings activity: "On the device, go to the home screen, press MENU, select Applications > Development, then enable USB debugging."
The first error is more of a quibble, but the second seems to be actual misinformation that may puzzle a beginner, wondering why there isn't an "Applications" item on the Home app menu. In most cases this should go "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging," and the menu key is not involved.

I have found that there is a significant lack of documentation of WebView's ability to communicate with Java via WebView.addJavaScript() method. First, the debug document http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/debug-tasks.html#Debugg... appears to no longer work. Second, what object types should we expect when going to and from JavaScript. I have done some trial and error and it appears that complex types can cross the boundary, for example java.util.Vector. However when a Java method returns a byte array to JavaScript it has a type of undefined and I have been unable to coerce it to any other type. Finally, there is great potential with this interface and with some more attention we could go far.

This is my first post ever -- I love the Android SDK (been at it for a week), but I did notice a small typo in the official documentation that needs correcting.
On this page within the example source code, the source says "CountdownTimer" on line 1 when it should say "CountDownTimer" (notice the capitalization of the letter "D"). An easy fix for one with programming experience, but the code as written will not compile, which could be confusing for someone using this code for the first time.
Is this where documentation bugs are submitted, and if not, where should I go to request the fix?

I am trying to use the MediaRecorder to record audio. I read the documentation at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.html on how to use the MediaRecorder and then tried the sample code given in the documentation for recording audio which is:
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); recorder.setOutputFile(PATH_NAME); recorder.prepare(); recorder.start(); // Recording is now started ... recorder.stop(); recorder.reset(); // You can reuse the object by going back to setAudioSource() step recorder.release(); // Now the object cannot be reused
However this code doesn't seem to work. The second line throws an exception when I execute the code. If I execute the following two lines of code:
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
It throws a RuntimeException on the call to setAudioSource with the exception message "setAudioSource failed." I am running this on my T- Mobile HTC G1 Android device which is running Android v1.6
I have searched a number of forums for entries about "MediaRecorder" or "setAudioSource" and have found that a number of other people have also posted that they are having a similar problem. However no one has responded to any of the posts which I found regarding this issue.
I would appreciate some help if anyone knows why the MediaRecorder is not working as documented or can provide information on how to get past this exception.
