I want to create a new account type for gmail. Looking at the code it looks like to create a new account type, I need to add a new provider for gmail. Is it true? Can't I reuse existing providers to create a new account type?

Gmail and Exchange both use same syncing protocol EAS and same authority com.android.exchange in Android Eclair code. Different account types are based on different authorities.
On the available Android Eclair code, Gmail account can be added as 'exchange' or 'corporate' account. But on Nexus one there is a different account type for gmail.
Can somebody give me information on how Gmail account has been separated from exchange account on Nexus one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wish to have a single class which all of my Activity classes extend. I have ListActivities, Activities, MapActivities, TabActivities, etc in my App.
I have many of these different activities in my app, ~12 activities. I want each of them to have the methods which are in the parent class.
Right now, i have created 4 parent activity classes which are extended from a certain activity depending on their type(ListActivity, Activity, MapActivity, TabActivity)
I am creating a lot of redundant code - each of the 4 parent activities has almost identical code, in exception for what class activity it extends.
Here is an example that may clarify what my problem is:
I have an Activity: MenuScreen which extends BaseListActivity BaseListActivity extends ListActivity BaseListActivity contains methods and fields which i want all my activities to have access to I have another Activity: HomeScreen which extends BaseActivity BaseActivity extends Activity BaseActivity contains the same methods and fields which are in my other Base[<type>]Activity classes(such as BaseListActivity)
These methods/fields are copy-pasted to all my Base[<type>]Activity, and seems awfully redundant to me.
Can i create a master activity class which all types of Activity classes can use as its parent? if not, am i stuck with copy and pasting this code and feeling gross/dirty about it?
I'd like to be able to create a special user account that would exist on an android device. Since it is based on the Linux kernel, I was hoping there was a way to create a group account and then create a user account. Is it possible ?

Setting up my email account was easy to do. I'm having a problem (or I'm not understanding) the email app that came with the phone. I only see three folders
INBOX
SEND
TRASH
How do I create additional folders? Also, how do I get all my emails in my inbox to display?? I am only seeing the recent emails, or the ones that were just received. I need to be able to see the emails from earlier today, yesterday, last week, etc..... How do I do this? Can emails be stored to the card? Can we change the text setting from an html format to just a standard text format? Where can I find a the complete instructions on the email app?

The problem I had was when trying to sync my Evo 4g to Exchange 2010. I continually got the message "Failed to create the account. Please try again later". After searching on this site and trying everything on every thread, I was about to throw my hands up and send it back when I found the solution. This solution appears to not be posted on this site, so I figured I would help out others that might run into the problem in the future. I have done this now 2 or 3 times for other users that have had this issue and it has corrected it. I don't claim this solution will work for everyone, it simply what I did to correct for my users. I would suggest trying what other threads have as solutions before trying this one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedEverything is working fine, I can access the provider. The problem is that I want to create a demo version of my app and I want it to share the same content provider so when the user install the full version, the data is kept in sync. Also, it should be possible to install only the full or the demo version. Therefore, I have to include my content provider in both.Now, when I try to install both apps error message, obviously because both AndroidManifest declare the same content provider.Is there a way to tell in the Manifest that this content provider should be used only if it doesn't already exists ? Or another workaround ?A solution would be that the full version migrate the data from a demo content provider to the full version content provider, but I would rather avoid that.

It's working fine but i want to set some permissions in app1, so that if any other app wants to use that provider it must have to get this permissions(<uses- permissions) then only it should be able to use providers.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble understanding content providers in Android. Do you use intents to call content providers as well as managed queries?
Also, an activity has an intent filter. The intent filter has a element which has a mimeType attribute. How does Android know which content provider this mimetype is referring to?
The tag in the manifest just lists an authority but not the full content_uri. Further, the content_uri is typically defined in an encapsulated class that seems to only consist of constants but no methods, so I don't see how that links over to the content provider class.
My application requires current location of the user. For this I have implemented the code and I am able to get the current location. The code tries to get the best provider first and then fetches location information. The problem is that the current location is returned from NETWORK_PROVIDER if GPS_PROVIDER is disabled. If both NETWORK_PROVIDER and GPS_PROVIDER are enabled then the best provider will be GPS_PROVIDER and this takes too much time to get the current location.
So, is it alright if we set the location provider as NETWORK_PROVIDER only so that it will not matter whether GPS_PROVIDER is enabled or not.
I want my app to be able to retrieve a fine location, but also to be able to get it's location as quick as possible. What I'm trying to implement is something like the way it works in maps, i.e. it gets a coarse location via network and then refines that location using GPS.
If I set the criteria to ACCUARCY_FINE it automatically tries to use GPS to get the location. The problem is that if a user is indoors then this may take several minutes, if it finds it at all. Is there an easy way to tell the manager to use network provider and then GPS, or will I have to do this myself? If so what's the best way to go about this? Will I need to thread it in some way?
I'm sorry if these questions have been answered already. I've found various location examples but none that seem to do what I'm asking.
I'm trying to get a list of the available cellular network providers. Unfortunately i can't find any service or class that might help me out :( Does anyone have an idea on how to manage this? It has to be possible since you can see the list when you go to the settings on your Android device..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a plethora of data which is currently stored in 1000 different very small text files, I want to store this data in an SQ Lite database as I feel that this will be more space efficient and hopefully time efficient as I presume a database query is faster than opening and parsing a text file (please stop me now if this isn't the case!). The data does not need to be available to other applications and will be used internally only. My first question is whether or not to create a content provider anyway, is there any benefit to this? My second question is where to initialize the database, is it possible to ship an application with a database included already populated? Do I have to populate it in the on Create method of the SQ Lite Open Helper subclass? If I have to include the 1000 text files and read, parse and insert the data at inst all time I have a feeling this would be slow. Is it possible for me to populate the database now, dump it to a single file and then bulk insert from the file in the on Create method?

If both are false, I'd like to turn enable the GPS provider and/or the Network provider so that the above checks would return true. Is this possible? If so, what permissions does it require?
Where can i get a complete list of content providers that Android offers out of the box? I'm looking for a content provider that list received SMS.
