Android :: Converting Data From Blackberry To My Phone?
May 5, 2010
Hey Guys, I just replaced my blackberry 8310 for an incredible (wow). Is there a way I can move the data over? I did have google sync for my calender installed and working; but since I mainly work on office 2010 beta, gsync doesnt work. So, i hadent noticed the gsync wasnt syncing with my calender. That being said is there a known way to get the data over? Phone service is terminated so it has to be done tehtering to the PC somehow..I was able to get contacts no problems there as I had them in many locations, but would like the notes also.

I'm having my first stumbling steps with android and are trying to modify an existing notepad example from Android dev. I have a database with an existing column named CREATED_DATE (of the note) but the data for that column is presented as System.currentTimeMillis(). This is all good and probably in line with conventions since it's created by the developers.
But my problem is that I want to present the date in a ListView using the format "30 sep". My problem, how do I convert the data to that format before presenting it in the ListView? Right now I'm using this kind of adapter:
CODE:...........
Now, I've figured out how to convert currentTimeMillis() to todays date but how can I convert the data coming from the cursor before I toss it into the adapter?

My app will have an SQLite database with some embedded JPEG images -- basically the binary contents of a JPEG file stored as a Blob in the database. Can someone point me in the general direction of where to start to figure out how to convert this "array of bytes" into a Bitmap object that can be further manipulated and displayed in an ImageView?

I recently came over from using a Blackberry (and using the Blackberry Messenger app), and I am wondering what you all might suggest as an easy way to briefly send quick messages (not using SMS or email) that would be easy to set up on my end and for my Blackberry friends.Currently I do not have any chat systems or instant messaging systems set up (as never used any of that before), so I am hoping you can make your suggestions very simple to understand and set up. I'm somewhat new to all this technology, but I am anxious to learn.

Here's my current setup which I'm assuming I may have to modify. Current Phone: Palm Centro I have an external email account and a Gmail account. My Gmail account is setup to check my other account via Gmail's POP3 system. I then use MS Outlook to check my Gmail account. All my data is in Outlook. Calendar, Contacts, and emails. I'm getting a new Android phone and need to get the same contacts and such onto there.
Technically, the same emails that are in Outlook are in Gmail so that's not a problem.
I also use Google's Calendar sync program so my outlook calendar is also in Gmail so I assume that wouldn't be a problem either. This leaves me with my contacts. Is there a preferred program that will sync my outlook contacts to Gmail like I do with my calendar? Or is there some other way that people have used that works just as well? I will continue to use Outlook as my primary contact/calendar management program but just want everything to sync across to the phone.

I have been trying this for hours without success. http://replicaisland.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ I have added the repository and successfully downloaded the project into the workspace using the option "check out as a project in the workspace" calling it replicaisland. I tired using the option "check out as project using the New Configuration Wizard" but when I selected and android project I had to enter details that I don't yet have. I right click on the project and select "convert to Android project" which gives me an error. Code...

I'm on Tmobile and just bought a G2, with my prior phone being a Blackberry 8310. I'm having some buyers' remorse (annoying interface, keyboard, crashes), and was hoping for suggestions on an alternative. I'm out of my Tmobile contract - so I can hop to another carrier. Can someone suggest a good blackberry-like phone running android? I tried the Motorola Charm, but found it underpowered. Here are my needs - Blackberry-like physical keyboard for 1 handed typing Blackberry-like size (don't really care about having a HUGE screen)
Touch screen If there's an upcoming option, I might revert to my 8310 and limp along until it comes out.

Just made the switch from Blackberry to the Droid, and I couldn't be happier. One of the handiest things about the Blackberry was the MemoPad. It was very simple, and I would keep info in it like a grocery lists and even passwords (for low-risk things such as forum passwords), etc. I'm sure there's something for Android that does the same thing, but has anyone else made the switch and found something similar?

My daughter has a Blackberry Storm, and has ordered an Incredible, which is due to arrive Monday Sept. 13th. Is the card formatted in a format that Android can read? Or will I need to mount the card in my computer and copy all of the photos and stuff she wants to save, let Android reformat the card, mount it in the computer and transfer the stuff back onto the card? I would appreciate the advice of someone with knowledge of BB use of the Micro SD card.

I am writing this for my friend who has an EVO. He just replaced his Blackberry Tour with the EVO and wants to know how he can sync or transfer all of the blackberry stuff onto his new EVO. Stuff like music, calendar, photos, ringer, documents, etc. I already have him set up on google gmail so I am not sure if that make a difference. Any thoughts would be great. I have no experience with BB; I came from windows mobile.

So after getting frustrated with the lag on my new blackberry torch, I've decided that I might get the captivate. The one thing holding me back is the messaging features (e-mail/texting). How do they compare to the blackberry? Also, does the captivate suffer from the same legginess issues with simple menu functions/app changes?

Basically topic. I know the simplest way to do it would have been to Google Sync my contacts into my Gmail from my BB then sync them to the EVO, but unfortunately, I can't do that now. The SIM in my BB is out thanks to my number transfer so no data, and I didn't have Google Sync installed.
I have a little over 200 contacts in my BB, and as I'm sure you understand putting all of them in manually is near insanity. Anyone in the same boat as me? Any solutions to this or is a long night of manual contact switching in my future?

This is confirmed by Verizon, so take warning.I got my Incredible on Tues, used my BB charger on my phone because the Verizon store said it was ok since it was still a micro usb. My battery started dying after about a few hours. Tried every trick in the book and still died afte about 3 hrs.Went to the Verizon store and got it replace. They once again said it was ok to use the blackberry charger. So i let the new battery run down as the guy said and began to charge w/ my blackberry car charger for about 30 min. I noticed the orange charger light was not on. I unplugged the charger and the phone will not even turn on now. Verizon is overnighting me another Incredible.Listen to others if you want or take your chances, but the tech guy at Verizons main tech support center said to use only Htc chargers. **SO USE YOUR BB CHARGERS ON YOUR INCREDIBLE AT YOUR OWN RISK**

Is it possible to use the Vibrant with the T-Mobile unlimited Blackberry plan?
I use a blackberry during the week, and on weekends I'd like to swap to the Vibrant, but I can't change the blackberry plan to the Android plan since it is our business standard.
Anyone know if this can work?

I would like to convert a Bitmap to a grayscale array of bytes (one byte per pixel). At the same time I want to just crop at section from the middle. Having looked though the various api's it is not clear to me what the best way would be.
1) What is ALPHA_8? is that grayscale? I have a feeling that the grayscale effect should be done via some "saturation" on the paint object, right?
2) once I have the Bitmap in grayscale and the right size, what is the best way to get that to a byte[] of pixels (one byte per pixel)?

I have a JSON Object with a latitude and longitude String on which I get the values doing this: String latitude = picInfo.getString("latitude"); String longitude = picInfo.getString("longitude");Then I convert them to floats like this: float latInt = Float.valueOf(latitude).floatValue(); float longInt = Float.valueOf(longitude).floatValue();And place them on a GeoPoint like this: GeoPoint X = new GeoPoint((int) (latInt*1E6),(int) (longInt*1E6) ); Debugging this values I can see JAVA approximates the values, is there anyway to keep them exactly the same?

Is it possible to convert a Canvas to Drawable?I may be really off in my solution, so if you have a better suggestion, please do tell me. This is what I'm trying to do.I'm trying to create a custom RadioButton. to set different states of the radio button, I need to use this parameter and one of the parameter to addState is Drawable. I know I can easily provide an image file and use it as a Drawable, but I want to do some image manipulation to the image before using it.There is a tutorial in ApiDemo called AlphaBitmap. It uses the onDraw method of a View to change a PNG file to full red and draw something with a gradient. So I customized it to shade an icon with gradient. So the problem now is that this is a View, and the View works perfectly fine if I add this View to the main view. But i want to convert this View to Drawable so I can use it as one of the parameter in addState. What I really want to achieve is to have different colour shades for different state of the RadioButton without providing different images to do so.

Is there a way to convert milliseconds to minutes using java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit?
This answer seems to suggest that you can use a TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes() method, and the documentation suggests that you could use the TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.convert() method with TimeUnit.MINUTES - the problem is that neither TimeUnit.MINUTES or TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes() seem to actually exist.
