Android :: Create Non-mutually Exclusive Apks For Identical Apps Differ Only In Content?
Mar 10, 2009
How do I create non-mutually exclusive apks for identical apps that differ only in content? I have an app that plays an mp3 file embedded as a raw resource. I would like to be able to create multiple apps with this (same logic but different songs) and possibly install more than one song on a device. But now when I try to install a second version it says that the app is already installed, even if I refactor and change the name of the app. What is the proper way to do this?

I'm trying to create a listview containing conversations in chat bubbles, and each chat bubbles are rows in the list view. So what I have is an avatar on the left, and a chat bubble on the right. Then in the chat bubble, I have a textview for name, a textview for content, and a textview for time. The problem is, I cannot adjust the height of the chat bubble such that the bottom edge is just below the textview for time. In the chatBubble, I have this line that does not work android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/timeLabel" because timeLabel is a textview created after chatBubble. If I place chatBubble tags right below timeLabel, the height of chatBubble will be just right because lf the layout_alignBottom, but chatBubble covers all the text created before it.
Is there a way I can create the chatBubble last, and bring the view to the background? Or is there a better way to do this?....................

I am trying to create a content provider where the key contains forward slash "/". I searched about it for quite a while but there is no place/example illustrating it.
content://com.lily.provider/items/*
General example, which I understand:
content://com.lily.provider/items/ab
What I want to do: my key is a string with "/" content://com.lily.provider/items/a/b where a/b is the item id, which is in the same position as ab. will content://com.lily.provider/items/a/b be matched to content://com.lily.provider/items/* ? why is that? are there any work-around I could use to solve the problem

I would like to give users a choice of starting one of three different activities by choosing from three mutually choices. And I would like to provide users these choices as Preferences. If I use CheckboxPreference, user can select more than choices. Something like "RadioGroupPreference" would be good but it is not available from SDK. Can mutually exclusive preferences be implemented? Pointers or suggestions are greater appreciated.

I want to lock my android tablet for a single application only.
Means this application will auto run with the OS. It should not close or go in background and also should not allow user to access other application on the tablet.

I have purchased 3 Samsung Galaxy Nexus devices for my family, and one for myself. I wanted to setup all our devices for them and pre-install essential apps for them, and lay it out in a way which makes each device identical so that my family (which is new to Android) can all get the same easy experience from their devices, rather than everyone getting a different LG/Samsung/HTC device and having to deal with differences in skins every time someone phones me with a question about their device.
Here is what I have done:
1. Unlocked bootloader, root, installed CM10.1.2 + gapps onto my own personal device. Clean install, wiped everything.
2. Setup android with a temporary Gmail account, installed about 20 apps, setup the homescreen, changed a few settings for simplicity, change wallpapers, etc.
3. Once I was satisfied, I removed the google account, rebooted to recovery (CWM 6.0.3.2) and made a Nandroid backup which was later copied to my home server.
4. Unlocked Bootloader, rooted and installed CM10.1.2 + gapps on all the other devices, booted the device then transferred the Nandroid backup from my home server to each of these other three devices. Restore the backup, reboot, all seems fine so I setup new individual google accounts, and away I went. Everything works fine, at least so it seems.
Now the issue is that I'm having came a day or two after I got everything setup on each device. At the moment I'm having serious issues with the Google Play Store and Push Notifications. Almost all devices intermittently have issues with this. The play store issue I'm getting is [RPC:S-5:AEC-0], and prevents me from downloading or updating apps. Push notifications is not working either. For example, Google hangouts notifications don't notify me of messages on devices intermittently unless I manually check the app. Same goes with facebook and snapchat notifications. Very annoying. Tried all sorts of fixes such as removing the Google account, rebooting and adding it again, but no luck.
I changed the Android ID on each device hoping that would work, but still no luck.
Edit: Tried making a titanium backup of one device and moved it to a rooted Galaxy S2 running CM10.1 nightlies, and no such issue. Also, updated one nexus device to the latest nightly, still no fix.

I am developing a set of apps that are distinguished only in certain brandings (think different sports teams); however, I am running into a problem where I am using one Library project for all of the specifically branded apps and want to use the same ContentProvider for all of them. When I created the ContentProvider I declared the AUTHORITY as a constant in the class (per the dev example code) and I am using the same authority in every specific app in the manifest files. It looks like I can't use the same authority across every app as I get this error when trying to install a second app (I install one branded one just fine but the second install):
WARN/PackageManager(66): Can't install because provider name com.xxx.Provider (in package com.xxx) is already used by com.zzz
I've tried several approaches but none of them seem to work. One idea that I haven't done yet, was to create a library jar and just omit the Provider class I have and customize it in each specific app. Any ideas on how to get around this problem without resorting to that?

I would like to make a game out of many cubes and am planning on putting it on mobile platforms and also on the web using webgl. My problem is when I make a drawelements call per cube I take a hit on the frame rate. Is there a way I can make a single draw call to opengl es to draw them? The only difference between the cubes would be position and color.

I have used the search function, but I?m still confused. I?m in the California Sierra?s with a small but very user friendly carrier. They have just released what I thought was a CDMA Droid 1, but it is branded as a Milestone. Is this the same phone as the Droid 1? Also, based on what I found searching, is the Milestone ?locked down? like the Droid 2, or is it ?open? like to Droid 1?

Bought two tablets for Christmas for the kids, and I would like to have both exactly the same. Don't want them fighting over who has which apps or tablet. The tablets are both the same, so no hardware issues.

I just spent half an hour going through each file in the OTA upgrade ZIP and comparing its CRC (checksum) to the same exact file in the "leak v3" PB00IMG.ZIP, including all of the files inside system.img. Process: First off, just by opening the two ZIP files with 7-Zip I can see that the boot.img, radio.img, and recovery.img are identical. In both ZIPs, their CRCs are EA7388FA, 54C41EEC, and 3F0153F1 respectively.
Since the OTA breaks down system.img into just the files that need updating (for the purpose of keeping the file size as low as possible), the only way to compare the files with system.img in "leak v3" was to use the root ROM created from "leak v3". (Thank goodness there's an unadulterated ROM of it, so the original CRCs are intact!) One by one, I compared the CRCs of the files in the OTA's system folder with the same files in the "leak v3" system folder. Findings: The files that are in the OTA are completely identical to the ones in the leak v3 system.img, with only one exception: The OTA contains an additional app called UpgradeSetup.apk. Obviously, it's only necessary for executing the upgrade..............

Anyone know of any apps that will allow a parent to set a content filter on the Eris so a kid can't access adult themed websites (porn etc)? The subject came up at work and it sounded like something worth looking in to, but the best I could find was a content filter service from Verizon (for free) but it seems that it also prevents Google Navigator, Facebook and YouTube from working properly (they all load just fine, but crazy error codes come up which prevent you from getting any further). Also of note: this only works when using the 3G service, as WiFi has no problems accessing Nav, FB and YT.

This may seem like a stupid question but I need to be sure. I was wondering if it was possible to pro-grammatically change the Content Provider used when making a query given a Content URI. The reason being I need to know if it's possible to force the Calendar/Contacts applications to read from a different database via a different Content Provider temporarily while my application is running, so that I can reuse those applications to display my own data. Since the Content URI s are hard coded in each of these applications the only way it might be possible is if we could somehow temporarily change the Content Provider used for a given URI. I know this probably isn't possible, I just need to show it isn't. Could someone confirm this can't be done?

How do I go about creating the following layout in Android?
I want a "header", that is, a header that stays the same at all times. The only thing that should change is the area below the header.
Think of it as a webpage, where the content-area is where its all happening =)
+--------------------+
| H E A D E R |
+--------------------+
| |
| |
| |
| C O N T E N T |

+--------------------+
Sure, its easy enough to create a LinearLayot, add a View on the top and then another view below that - tada! But what Im after is how you "set up" or design the project so its easy to just change whats in the Content.
What I really would like is to be able to "swipe" (see here) the area and then just "roll in" a new View/thing in the Content-area, but keep the same header.

how to create Android apps so I recently installed Eclipse and Android SDK. I made a new AVD (2.3.3) and everything worked fine for a while but now I get the following error messages when I try to run my application (which is a simple "Hello World" program):
Code:
Emulator] NAND: nand_dev_load_disk_state, restore failed: size required (3546398242485400641) exceeds device limit (69206016)
Emulator] Unknown savevm section type 114
HelloTest] emulator-5554 disconnected! Cancelling 'ema.test.HelloTestActivity activity launch'!
I have also tried deleting the AVD from the AVD manager but it says the emulator is running and therefore unable to delete it.
These problems persists even though I've restarted my computer several times.
I'm on Ubuntu 11.04

I am having a hard time understanding content providers. In the notepad example and others, the content provider never even declares its CONTENT_URI anywhere inside itself, yet the docs say to publicly declare this. It's declared in a different class. So when an activity queries a content provider with a CONTENT_URI, how does Android know which one I want. I see no link between a content provider and its CONTENT_URI declared in another class.
I also don't how to think about intents and content providers. I know that you don't call an intent on a content provider. But an activity queries a content provider without an intent, and an activity has a mimetype attribute in the manifest that would seem to tie it to a content provider.

Seems like there ought to be a simple solution to this, but can't figure out how to do it.I'm using Launcher Pro Plus on a rooted Captivate. I want to create a dock shortcut that takes me to a menu populated with different apps to choose from (for instance a games menu). I know how to create a widget that will do this with Tasker, and I suspect that LP's shortcut maker will do it, but I've yet to find a good tutorial on how to use it if you're not already a dev.

I was able to play around with the resource on a different apk and get them using createPackageContext as you suggested.
Here is an example of the code:

This works well. now i am trying to get ALL the drawables (or all the layouts) in this package. i tried a multitude of ways including reflection and AssetManager but was unsuccessful. any tips here? just to be clear i can not use R.drawable.icon as this is a different context.
