Android : Can I Retrieve OS Version Directly?
Apr 6, 2010
I am trying to retrieve the Android OS Version (like 1.5 or 1.6 or 2.1) and I am using this code :
TelephonyManager mTelephonyMgr = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE); String softwareVer = mTelephonyMgr.getDeviceSoftwareVersion();
When I try this on a ADP2 (Google Ion with Android OS 1.6) it will return 02... Is there any table or something that relates such a return value to a specific OS ? Is there any other way to actually retrieve the OS version directly, as in returns directly 1.6?

I have created a Library Project which I import into another project. In that Library Project at some point I retrieve it's android:versionName To do that you need to supply the package name. The problem arises when that code is executed when the Library Project is included within another project, then it seems that that code throws an exception : 10-04 10:15:36.987: WARN/System.err(1407): getSoftwareVersion(), Caught Exception : android.content.pm.PackageManager$NameNotFoundException: mobilaria.android.LandenPlayerCodeBase.baseplayer Thats the package name of the package of the Project Library... it seems it cannot find it even though the same code that is executing that call is part of the Library itself... Does anyone have experienced something like this or has an idea on how to solve this? /edit : I posted this on stackoverflow as well and someone responded with : "As far as I know android library project manifest is ignored at the moment, manifest is not merged into end application when you reference a library. Hence you cant extract any data from the library's manifest." So my question now is : hhmmm ok, that would explain it I guess... But is there any official statement or anyone who knows this for sure ? For example someone who has already worked with a Library Project extensively before ?

How do you retrieve the current version code of an app's manifest? I don't need to access another application, I'm talking about My app accessing its own version code.

I used to be a C/C++ programmer before getting in to android. I am not sure how people maintain 2 versions of a program without using #ifdef preprocessor macros. Right now I am changing the package name in eclipse and changing the code manually, but this seems really inefficient. Can anybody suggest a good way of having 2 or more projects that share most of the code?

I'm planning on getting LockBot when I get my EVO and I was wondering, what's the difference between the free version and paid version. I basically want the Moto Droid lock screen on my EVO for the slide to toggle sound on/off feature due to the lack of an external switch on the EVO. Would I be best to get the paid version or will the free version do that?

I am having my Galaxy S delivered tomorrow and was wondering what protection people are using. I was going to use some sort of film protector, such as Zagg invisible shield and a Flip Case. But the only flip case I can find for the Galaxy S looks horrid, and I am not sure on the texture of Zagg Invisible Shields.I have also considered silicone gel cases, but I am having trouble finding one that is nice, and pouches in combo with a screen protector.What would you use and if I did buy a screen protector, which brand should it be, I want one that will protect but with minimum difference to the feel or colour of the screen.

Let's say for example that I have some Android app that does X. The free version has ads or basic features. I want to have a paid version that removes the ads and adds extra features. How can I use the paid app as a "license key" to unlock the features in the free app? So the user would install the free app, then install the paid app to get the extra features, but they would still run the free app (which would now be unlocked). What's the best approach to doing this?

It would be immensely helpful to me if I could make a logcat app to run directly on my G1 for when problems occur on the road that I can't seem to reproduce at home (one problem in particular) Any experts out there know if this is possible? If it is what do I need to know?

I tried gsyncit, google calendar sync and they always miss 20% of my entries. I have 10 years worth of important calendar entries (about 20000). And I know the reason why they miss it because there are sometimes server issues and when Google thinks your spamming, they block you. So I want to directly offline sync from my outlook. No way to directly sync from Outlook calendar? No 3rd party sync software works 100%.

I regularly download Podcasts which I then play as MP3's on my current HTC TYTN2. Rather than download to the laptop then transfer to the new Desire I would rather download directly to the Desire but when I go to the Podcast I want - on the BBC site, the instructions of 'Right Click and Save as Target' don't apply.
If I click that instead it simply plays the Podcast - which I don't want. What I really want is to be able to download the Podcast/MP3 directly to my phone SD card - is there an app which would help or am I forced to download via the laptop?

I'm still pretty new to using Android, but I decided that my first application would be a simple flashlight app for my new Incredible. Unfortunately, it seems to be more difficult than I had originally thought.
It seems that there's no way to access the LEDs through the SDK, at least not without a bunch of weird hacks to make the phone pretend that it's taking a picture. Even then, I can only get the LEDs to turn on. They only turn off if the phone is put on hold, and doing so breaks all camera-related apps until the phone is rebooted.
So, I was wondering if accessing the LEDs through the NDK was possible, or if there was any other camera-related APIs that would seem to do what I want.
I've looked at other code for other flashlights, so it looks like it's a hardware-based problem. I figured I'd give up because it doesn't appear to be possible, but I thought I should ask here first on the off-chance somebody knows something that I don't.

I'm trying for my app to create a picture this way... It works fine, except when doing this, the picture is written in the "Camera" folder (/sdcard/dcim/Camera). Since the picture was not taken with the camera, this is not desirable. Is there any way to put it directly in dcim?

I have to say that I don't find Android's photo management intuitive. Having got to the bottom of how to set up folders for photos, what would be very useful would be to be able to choose which folder photos get put in as they are taken, rather than having to tinker about with a file management program later on (none of which seem to use thumbnails anyway). Am I right in thinking that there is no way to choose a folder from the inbuilt camera? Is there any other camera app that would let me do this?
