I'm wondering if it's possible to have an app that has a portion of its code implemented using Android 1.5 (API Level 3) and part using 1.6. (For example maybe implementing one of the app's activities in 1.6 while the overall app is in 1.5)?

Is there a way to manage the audio levels through an app? Or is it more dependent on the phone's built in capabilities? Right now at work I listen to a skype audio call from my house (for security) at a very low volume and then at a higher level I listen to music or podcasts, both sources going at the same time. When my dog goes nuts, the door is knocked on, or (in theory) if someone busted down my door, I notice the change in volume and sound, turn off my local media, and focus on what I'm hearing until the drama passes.
I ask because I would like to continue this setup when not at work, like say while running, where I again have earphones in and am normally listening to audio content. I would like to be able to have two pieces of audio: music combined with a skype stream or normal phone call, going at the same time like at work. So is there a way to have two sources going at the same time, with the volume of each independently adjustable? Is this an app thing or a phone thing? Phone will be Sprint Hero.
I am working on an application where I need to display some locations on a map and in a list view where the user should be able to toggle between these views(activities?). I want the toggle button(s) to be in my custom titlebar like in the images (if they are attached). What is the best practice for this? Tab view seems like a solution but can I customize the tab buttons? Should the map and list be in different activities or the same? Now I have two different activities one extending MapActivity and one extending ListActivity but no way to toggle between them. Is it possible to load activities into a FrameLayout?

I have two png image files that I would like my android app to combine programmatically into one png image file and am wondering if it is possible to do so? If so, what I would like to do is just overlay them on each other to create one file. The idea behind this is that I have a handful of png files, some with a portion of the image on the left with the rest transparent and the others with an image on the right and the rest transparent. And based on user input it will combine the two to make one file to display. (And I cant just display the two images side by side, they need to be one file). Is this possible to do programmatically in android and how so?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a Java Android game. Games here generally need to use memory pools to avoid garbage collection.Making use of subclasses is a pain when using memory pools as you need to e.g. say how many Roamer and Chaser objects you want upfront and not just how many Enemy objects you might need.I would then have an update function that checked the "type" variable and updated accordingly. This is obviously a more C-like approach. It feels hacky though because e.g. a roamer enemy will have a "target" variable it never uses. I'm unlikely to have more than a 100 enemies in memory at a time though so it really isn't a big deal memory wise. I just want some compromise between nice code and speed.Does anyone have any comments on how best to structure this? Is merging classes like this going too far? Is this ever a good idea? Should I just use a regular class tree?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to have an image (as the background) on a button and add dynamically, depending on what's happening during run-time, some text above/over the image. If I use ImageButton I don't even have the possibility to add text. If I use Button I can add text but only define an image with android: drawableBottom and similar XML attributes as defined here.
However these attributes only combine text & image in x- and y-dimensions, meaning I can draw an image around my text, but not below/under my text (with the z-axis defined as coming out of the display). One idea would be to either extend Button or ImageButton and override the draw()-method. But with my current level of knowledge I don't really know how to do this (2D rendering). Maybe someone with more experience knows a solution or at least some pointers to start?
I've got a things to do with android, so, I have 2 images,
1. image from camera
2. another image from somewhere
So what I want to achieve is how to combine those image into 1 image, but it's overlapping (just like watermarking the image). The 2nd image should be scaled first into the size of the 1st image(camera) - so they have same dimension, then if the 2nd image pixel is black, don't combine it (so the black means transparent color - on 2nd image). Do you know what is the best way achieve this, can I do this with xor or bitwise?
I would like to know how I can create a chooser for the user to select from either a video or a photo. I want them to be able to capture a new video/photo or select from existing videos/photos. With the following code, I get a chooser that allows for that, but also allows audio creation/selection.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString (R.string.mediaChooserTitle)), REQUEST_MEDIA);
If I set the type to "image/*" I can create/get a photo, and "video/* I can get/create a video. How can I combine these types?
The quick desk and bar control apps are so far my favourite. Previously I had my switches/toggles of WiFi/3g/gps/silent/bluetooth on the desktop. Now I have these switches in quickdesk. Thats not all - using the bar control app I can have any shortcuts in my slide down bar. So I just added the quickdesk app in my bar. The benefit is that I can now access my switches/toggles from anywhere.
For example if I am using my browser and forgot to switch on WiFi, while browser is open I just slide down the bar and through quick desk switch on WiFi. This means that I do not need to navigate away from the current app that is open. Normally you would have to minimize the current app open and navigate to desktop to toggle switches, then go back to the app you were using.
As part of the Android application I am developing in eclipse, I need to combine two packages from different projects into a single project. I tried copying the files in the package of the second project under the src folder of the first folder and copied other files required for second package into the res folder of the first project. But the auto-generated Java files i.e R.java doesn't get updated on copying. I tried right clicking on the project and clicking on Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties. But nothing changed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor all of you android devs out there that have the Android simulator running on your computer, you know that there are a few built in apps that are already installed on your 'phone'. I had an idea for an app that would utilize a function that is already being done in the spare parts app that comes already installed. I went on to the android developer site, dug through the source code files, and found the spare parts app, and am now trying to set it up so that running it from eclipse on my machine actually runs the app in the simulator.
In other words, I want to be able to make changes to and adjust some of the things in that app for my own needs. But it won't compile, because of a number of different errors. How do I get that source code running on my local machine? Is there some special trick that I just don't know about? I thought that if I could get the source code than the rest would be easy, but it isn't being too easy.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to execute code before exiting application. My application is composed of several activities. When the user starts the application (from the launcher menu or from a notification in the status bar), he goes in an InitActivity where I process some initializations. From user experience, application always restarts. One of these initializations is to init a network manager and start a thread that periodically sends a network request to notify a server that application is active.
I need to process some end operations, like stopping this thread when user quits application, for example by pressing the HOME key or BACK key when he's in the root activity. However, when the user press the HOME key, application is still running in background.
Q1 : is it possible to execute code when exiting application (I see the onTerminate() method of the class Application but it seems not to be always called)?
Q2 : Is it possible to force application exit (activity method finish () only destroy the current activity, not the application)?
Q3 : Is it possible to handle HOME key press (onKeyDown() is not called when this button is pushed)?
