Android :: Crippling Widget Bug Still Present In 2.0?
Oct 28, 2009
I don't know the priorities of the android team but to me this looks like a really significant bug. As reported here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2539&q=Widget&colsp.and here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3696&q =Widget&colsp.and a few other places in different wording. Apart from it not working anything like the documentation specifies, it disables two methods in the widget provider class, creates potentially huge redundancies/wasted cpu usage and pretty much makes any widget that uses a config activity a bad piece of software. Further yet, the problem with screen real estate failures (first link, my post) applies to ALL widgets, config activity or not. The entire widget framework is effected by these limbo widgets and it seems like something really small, perhaps a few lines of code to fix, considering you display Toasts and other things, the failure paths are already known, should it not just unbind these widget ids on failure? Also as a small suggestion, considering you know the minimum dimensions of the widgets before they're added, widgets could not even be shown or grayed out if the screen can not accommodate them. I notice the "Add" in the Menu does this but only when the screen is completely full, if there is any space left, a larger widget can still be chosen to add, even though it's guaranteed to fail.

If u have downloaded any android source code u would see a test folder present for almost all applications and base framework. I wanted to know whether we build the test code too while building sdk from source code or is it just for our reference. If it is for the latter, what is the best way to use it. Please post me the exact use of tests present in android source code.

Now I've done a bit of research into Fusion tables already and I know it's possible for me to put all the data that's going to be in my app into a fusion table and then display the fusion table there for the user to see the data. Much easier to update the data when need be instead of making it static text and having to update the app via the play store every time I need to update the data.
How do I do this though? All I know is that it's possible and that I should use the Fusion table API. More than anything I just need a starting point so I know how to set up Eclipse and then learning the code is up to me.
Any apps at the moment that use Fusion tables to hold their applications data? Would be good to download them and have a play.

I want to open soft keyboard while starting an activity. The activity contains nothing as its element. I just need to open soft keyboard on the launch. I've tried with
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible|stateVisible|adjustResize" but it didn't work.
Also tried with
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
but it didn't work as well i'm using emulator to run the code

I have several images present in different folders in my sdcard. I would like to display a list of thumbnails. So what I have done is while rendering any row in the list I read the file in an input stream, get the byte array, decode it to obtain a bitmap and set it in an imageview.
So far so good. But when I scroll the list, the list scrolls in jerks. I believe this is because decoding a bitmap from byte array takes some time. What I would like to know is that, is there any optimization which I can do to improve the performance, or better still is there any better method to achieve what I want ?

How do I close a whole hierarchy of activities and show a new activity not present in the current task?
Context
Consider a FTP browser that resumes the previous session on launch. Each folder is displayed in its own activity. When I click on a folder, a new activity is started for the folder. If I press the back button, the app returns to the previous activity, which corresponds to the the parent folder.
I can logoff from the menu at any time. Logging off should bring me to the login activity (not present the current task when the app has resumed the session), and close all the other activities. How can I do this?
From what I've read, if the activity were in the current task I could use FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP in the intent, but this is not my case.

I am hoping that some of the signal issues in the Incredible are not present for the EVO. Has anyone compared their EVO with another Sprint phone? Is the signal the same? I know it may be a bit early to start this topic.

Does anyone have a separate Navigation app icon? My Evo did, but my Epic does not. I can go into Maps and hope dearly that my GPS is working and get navigation through there, but I'd really like a separate icon for it. Is this the same with everyone else?

I have a bunch of collection albums. I love Touhou arranges, and these are usually done by a variety of different arrangers and vocal artists. To keep everything neat and clean, I have them tagged with the circle name in the ALBUMARTIST field and the track's arranger or vocalist in the ARTIST field.
I'd like apps that actually prioritize the ALBUMARTIST field when browsing by album. If the field is present, it should override the ARTIST field for grouping tracks together as albums when browsing music.
As far as I am aware, the only player that does this on ICS is the stock Google Music app. I don't particularly like it because it's very lacking in features. On CM7, the CyanogenMod music app did this and a whole boatload of other features including focus loss ducking.
I've tried just about every music player out there. DoubleTwist, PowerAMP, Winamp for Android, the new CM9 music app Apollo, but none of them do this very simple organizational thing that the normal Google Music app does.

Google turned up nothing, but I wanted to see if anyone here was aware of any VGA or composite video adapter for the Eris. I don't even know if there is a video signal present on the bottom connector. I figured asking here was worth a shot.

Does anyone know of an app that can test what frequencies are being used in the area? I'm trying to figure out if something is interfering with my wireless router, and if so what it is. I've got "WiFi analyzer", but that doesn't show anything other than wireless signals directly from routers, even though a cordless phone runs on the same basic frequency.
In other words, I'd like to find an app that shows what frequencies are present near my phone, including what my phone is putting out. Is that possible?

I am on my first Android application and I am on a timeline so details and examples will be useful since my knowledge is still minimal. I want my first screen to present the user with a list of activities to choose from. In my situation it is a recipe app where the user first chooses the type of food, such as, Beef, Chicken, or Pork. I want the application to launch an activity depending on the list item that the user clicked on. I am not sure if I should use a list view, a text view, a scroll view, a list activity, an activity group...
