Is it possible to share files between two apps?
My scenario is this: I want to create a free/demo version of my game and a complete version. The player should be able to play the free version, then upgrade to the complete and continue where the free version ended - ie. the complete version would need to load a savegame created by the free version.

I am looking into developing an App that will convert a website into more readable data for an android app. I am at university and have an online notice board which can be viewed on the web but if possible I would like to transfer this into an app on android to make it more easy to read on mobile devices.
What I thinking is that the app would go to the website where the notice board is held and read in the html code to display each notice in a list adapter view. Each notice is within its own div so I assume I could use that to split each notice up into its own button on the list adapter view. Is this possible and if so how I can go about doing this. I have tried google for an answer but I have not yet found a solution to this problem.
I have a listView of contacts that I got from the Android ContactManager sample. This list is showing up fine, but I can't figure out how to get info from the selected item, like "name" and "phone number".
I can get the selected position, but the result of the mContactList.getItemAtPosition(position) is a ContentResolver$CursorWrapperInner and that doesn't really make any sense to me. I can't get heads or tails from that.
Anyone know how I can get the name/id/phone number from the selected item in the listView?
Here is my code.

is there a way to use the System.currentTimeMillis(); to have convery that number into a basic output HH:MM in droid? I am using the sample code:
Toast.makeText(this,
String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
That outputs the current time in MS since the epoch. There has got to be a better way to do this rather than convert that large number and display the current time right?
I am creating a game using the irrlicht c++ 3D graphics engine port to android platform. The graphics engine is written in c++. I need to be able to load meshes and textures etc from c++ code. My current plan is to place all the game asset files in either the res/raw directory or the assets directory then on start-up copy these files to the sdcard so they are accessible from the irrlicht c++ code.Is this the best way to make the game media files accessible from c++?

I love Netflix but I need subtitles, which are present, indeed, but are ultra small on my 32" LCD (see pic) and just readable on my 42" LED. As Netflix users knows, there is not a configuration panel for this application and beside the embarrassing limitation of streaming 480p like I'm used to see on my Wii this is quite annoying.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an app that creates a new data entry in a sqlite db with several columns. I would like to have a simple share button on the final activity so they can share the results (or even a simple text field) with apps that accept it (email, mms, twitter, etc..). I did some reading on ContentProviders but the more I read, the more I'm thinking i'm heading down the wrong path.

Is there a way to identify these apps?
I recently updated my android to 4.3. A lot of people say that if you get a big update, it is the best to do a factory reset for faster performance. Is that true?
If that is the case, is there a way to do a factory reset and keep some data of some apps? Like example, i have an app that I spend my money on to buy ingame items and such. If i do a factory reset, all my ingame items will be gone and have to restart everything.
is there a 100% safe backup and do a factory reset for me to keep my app data?
I've got an application, and I'd like to publish a way for third-party services to get data from it. Ideally I could expose this through intents, as in the following pseudocode:

I am knew to android and am absolutely loving it on my Desire, so glad i never went with a certain fruit company
Anyways, i have had a search around here and on the market place and cannot find an app that suits my needs.
Basically, i run timeriffic (which is fantastic by the way) and mostly i use a wi-fi connection. However there are times when i know there is no wi-fi around eg. when i travel to work, so i have it turned off. What i would like to know is if there is any app out there that would allow me to schedule a time to turn on my 3g data connection (i have APNdroid installed and 3g disabled as default) for those periods when my wi-fi is off so i always have a data connection.
I did see the app Data on Demand and this would have been perfect but it did not work with my Desire.
Can anyone using a Desire let me know if they have tried Data on Demand and got it working and what conditions it was working. Can someone recommend an app that meets my needs? I guess if not i will need to contact the developer of timeriffic (who i have seen around here) and see if there is anyway he could intergrate with APNdroid and control 3G data connections.
I am trying to save battery and speed up my phone. I know that I can in to setting to disable all these extra features, but I heard from someone that, "even though you disabled it, the phone will still continue to try to pick up these services, like 3G). Is there a app that will fully disable these features?
Also is there anyway up speeding up my phone. I have a Rooted T-Mobile MyTouch 3G w/ the CyanogenMod 4.2.13. I heard that there is a "10MB Hack", but I also heard that it will slow down your games.
I just got a unlocked HTC Magic, but I don't have a data plan yet. I fully understand using a smartphone without a data plan limits its functions.
My question is:
When try I downloading some apps over wifi (i.e. games, wallpapers, etc), it says: "Network Communication: full internet access" "Your location: fine (GPS) location"
Does downloading this mean it will use data whenever I use it outside of a wifi network?
I want to be able to start customizing and downloading apps and games that only work when I'm using a wifi connection. Just until I get a data plan of course.
I'm making an Android Java app game (although this question applies to all languages really) and hope to release the first version soon. I'm nervous about how I save data in my game. My problem is that, if in a later update, I decide to store more data or store the same data in a different way, I need to be careful I don't lose or corrupt data for users that upgrade (i.e. I want users to be able to use data created by an old version in the new version, like their high scores from before).For example, say I want to save high scores in version 1.

They are in the TB folder on the sd card but the app is not in the app list. How do I get them back? I did do a nandroid back up immediately after rooting will that restore them?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWas reading a thread over at XDA talking about moving certain apps from data/app to system/app to help them run faster, or not get killed by Autokiller (don't even use that)... anyway, I opened up EStrongs File Explorer with root enabled, and it appears all of my apps are in system/app as opposed to data/app. Is that normal? I am currently on xtrROM 4.6 and used Titanium to restore my apps.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI went into Weather Bug (free version) to check the weather and accidentally hit the menu button. Decide to check preferences for the heck of it and I see "Enable Updates' set to yes and Update Interval set to every 1 hour. What?? I know it's probably not a huge drain - but I had no idea that it was checking on a regular basis (and why I don't know). So please check your apps to make sure they are not updating data auotmatically! After that I went into every app I had to make sure I was either signed out or or set updates to manual.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI've been browsing around in the app store and noticed that a lot of the apps need some personal data in order to run. It makes me feel uneasy.
For example for launcher pro, it will have access to:
my messages (read gmail, sms) personal information (read contact data) storage (my sd card) services that cost you money(directly call phone numbers)
I really need to free up some space for future downloads. Before I just go ahead and clear data for random apps there are a few I'm quite sceptical about doing this to in-case it deletes certain things that can take a while to get back to the way it was before, if at all.
*HTC SENSE 2.42MB I don't use sense I use LauncherPro and don't plan on going back to sense in the near future.
*Facebook 2.52MB
*Facebook for HTC Sense 9.08MB <- I don't use this, I only use the above Dloadable app from the market.
*Google Maps 1.48MB
*Contract storage 9.52MB really? HOW? if i was to remove all my contacts and save them to my sim instead would this sort out the issue? I've noticed over time that certain contacts I have like 10 duplicates for, I think this is because I had difficulty getting facebook profile pics as contact pics. Is there away for me to go through every contact and delete these unneeded, useless contacts?
Are the main ones id like to find out about.
The following few apps I'm guessing if I clear this data it will remove certain settings from my phone but I would still like some info on this if possible.
*Settings 14.74MB
*Astro File Manager 96.00KB Manage space? what will that do?
*FolderOrganizer 1.11MB im guessing that will remove folders & icons if i was to clear this data?
