Anyone know how to check the user's country? I'm looking for a way that's faster than using GPS and reverse geocoding. (I need the country where the phone is registered, not their current location, in any case.) Is there any constant in the settings?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way at all where you can find in which country the phone is currently in, let's say if I travel to Spain can I in code know this information somehow. Using GPS is not good for me, but I know the phone recognizes where it is, but I don't know if I can access that info in code...

I'm traveling to Europe next week and would like to only take my android phone around instead of a netbook and was wondering if it's possible to use it without the sim card or how to disable everything so I'm not charged?
I have the tmobile HTC magic that has a custom rom (cynangenmod) and would like to take it to Europe to use the browser as well as the GPS if possible, but don't want to be charged.
I have coplit for gps, so I don't need internet data when driving.
Well im looking to get an android device soon, and after some searching around i came across this link:
Supported locations for distributing applications - Android Market Help
which doesnt list my country (cyprus). I basically cant download free or paid apps from the market
So is my only choice to download the .apk file from the net and put it on my SD card? Is there any other way? Also will the market app "recognize" which apps i have installed?
I am planning to release my app (which i have been pllanning to do so for quite a few time now, waiting for the expansion of google checkout to happen).I am from India and I am planning to release the application using my friends UK Bank account.Is this advisable? Are there any things that I should take care of?Also is there any chance of google expanding the google checkout or in introducing new payout options like paypal?I have been waiting for the support for quite sometime and I am very much depressed on the issue that google is still not expanding the services, ive sent numerous mails to them asking for atleast the estimated release date but in vain.
Its been nearly an yeaar since android is relmore than an year since android phones have been released and still there is such slow progress. iPhones allows developers from most of the countries to publish their apps and customers from any country can buy the same, i think they can even do it through itunes.I think this is going to hurt the progress and development of android big time. If apple can do it why not google? I have been expecting some response from google atleast on the estimated date, so that we can plan accordingly.
In my application findlocation options is there.can u please help me how to find out the corresponding map by providing the country,city,street or pincode.

So I want to ask a friend of mine who lives in a country (France or US) where selling paid applications is possible to help me with this.
Now I don't know exactly what to tell him about the process:
What is required by his side ? A bank account or a credit card ? How the money are transferred to him ? What exactly Google checks to verify if the developer is in one of the supported countries ?
I have an HTC Desire HD on Orange UK. In the market I have only ever seen apps & books. I have never seen movies or music listed. I have, until now, assumed that these were probably only available in certain countries because of licensing agreements.
I was discussing the rebranding to Google Play with a colleague, only to find out that they have, and have done for a while, a section in their Market /Play Store for movies. They have an HTC Desire S on T Mobile UK.
Why would I not have movies available via my market? I'm guessing that it wouldn't be handset compatibility, so would it be that Orange are blocking this for some reason? Who else, in the UK, has the movies option, and who doesn't? What is the common ground between each group?
They do not have music as a Market section, so I guess that I was right about this, and it is not available to the UK at all?
I have my app in the market which is mainly for US based people as I dont have the database that is required for any other country.
So I am wondering if it is possible to restrict the app to be visible to and downloaded by only US based users.
I have fairly large map overlay that I am displaying over the google maps data but would still like to see the country/state/province lines through my overlay (so the lines would essentially be on top of my overlay).
As I understand, these lines are simply polygons drawn over the maps. Is there any way to access these? If so, how do I get them to show up through my overlay images?

I recently bought a galaxy s4 , but the play store is so boring wth all the weird apps judging that my location is in the middle east. i experienced the same problem when i bought the lumia 920 and the solution was simply changing my location to the US to get access to all the goodies in the play store is there a way of changing my location on the galaxy s4 so that i can enjoy my play store?

My wallet has a UK card and I added addresses, deleted cache, nothing works. How can I fix this?
I just got a Galaxy S3 yesterday and the first time I turned it on I used my work wifi connection. This operates via a proxy which makes any website think I'm in another country (varies from country to country depending which server has the least load).
Unfortunately, now whenever I do a Google search it defaults to google.de. I only connected to the work wifi when I turned it on, since then I've been acessing at home or using my 3G connection. I live in England so this is very annoying.
Is there any way I can stop Google going to the German site? I tried clearing everything in the browser but this didn't work.
Bit of further info: If I go to Settings > Google > Search, there is a tick-box that says "Search on google.com" and underneath that it says "Using www.google.com instead of your local domain (www.google.de)".
There has to be a way of changing that setting, surely!

I am in India. I tried to order the Google Nexus 4 from the Google Play Store using my office machine, which connects to the net using a US proxy. However, I cancelled my order later. Now the Play Store on my current phone shows all US content and I am forbidden from installing India only apps. The country in my Google Account still shows India and so does my address in Google Wallet (I had deleted the US addresses that I had obtained from a package forwarding service).

Currently, to initialize data for the first time (not repeatedly), we try of open the db and if it fails we know the database does not exists otherwise it is already created and initialized.

I am working on a simple app for the HTC EVO that blinks the alternate notification LED when a new text message is received. I have this part working great via a Broadcast Receiver but I need some way to turn the LED off when the user has read the message(s) using their default SMS app. I'm not sure if it is best to do this in the receiver or in a background service.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to programmatically without root check and see how a program was installed?
The only solution I've been able to find is using root - and tapping into a database that the Vending application uses;
CREATE TABLE assets10(_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, content_uri TEXT, s tate TEXT, download_pending_time INTEGER, download_start_time INTEGER, install_t ime INTEGER, uninstall_time INTEGER, size INTEGER, type TEXT, package_name TEXT, is_forward_locked TEXT, signature TEXT, refund_timeout INTEGER, version_code IN TEGER, server_string_id TEXT UNIQUE);
Most specifically I can check to this database using my package name and/or signature and see if it's ever been installed by the market. Then if it has you could check to see if it's been uninstalled.
As for background, I'm just messing around with ways to distinguish real users from pirated versions. I've noticed from an application I've posted that I only have approximately 100 downloads and 50% active, yet my server which is used by the application shows approximately 200ish unique users within the past few days.
I have a string called extStorageDirectory which is set to my SD Card and then "/mypics", I can then save a picture in to this directory, but only if the directory exsists. So how do I check to see if the directory exsits, and if it doesn't creates the directory?

Some interesting tidbits about connec.getNetworkInfo(0):
CODE:...................
Clearly this code is not sufficient (perhaps it would only return true if I sent some bit over the network and turned the radio on?). Moreover, since I'm not well versed in the ConnectivityManager, I'm assuming I should probably be scanning all networks (ie: getNetworkInfo(0 through N)).
