so I'm curious if someone know what is exact folder structure, which should be used. My question is about phone memory and SD card as well.So far I suppose, these work:If you want phone to find new ringtones (and only, not have it listed in music player).

My SD card on my droid x went bad so the verizon store gave me a new one but it seems they formatted it for a blackberry hence I see blackberry folders in there Can someone tell me the file/folder structure for Android 2.2? Once I format and clean it up, what are the directories I should be creating? If there's a link that describes it, that would even be better..

1. How much does Ad Mob pull if a user simply loads your app
2. How much does it pay if they click an ad
3. What is an average Ad Mob income in a given month (for a single app)
4. Preferred method : (a) Ad Mob (b) Make it a paid app
Fully aware that Android apps aren't exactly cash-cows, but a little extra income never hurt anyone, trying to figure out a planned implementation to acquire such.
I am looking for a tutorial that explains the logic for fast, robust location finding.Basically I am sick of Google Maps finding my location so incredibly fast and accurately while my own application struggles to get a location.I would be fine with pseudo code responses and I will explain what I am doing so maybe I can be shown what I am doing wrong.
1. Get the locationManager object.
2. Do a 'get best provider' call.
3. Get a list of all available providers.
4. lm.requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider, 0, 0, this); hit the location provider as much as I can to get my first signal
5. Send a delayed message.If a location cannot be found in 10 seconds, switch to a different provider and try again with lm.requestLocationUpdates(nextProvider, 0, 0, this);
6. Repeat step 5 until I have a location.
7. Once a location is found determine if it is the most accurate provider.If it is not try again with the most accurate provider on an 8 second delay.If it is the most accurate provider then set lm.requestLocationUpdates(currentProvider, 30000, 0, this); to conserve battery
8. Make sure to lm.removeUpdates(this); before changing the requestLocationUpdates
Now it occurs to me that it may be possible to iterate through my list of providers and do requestLocationUpdates for all providers at once.Is this a viable option or can you only listen to one provider at a time?I have seen that location from onLocationChanged has getProvider()to let you know who provided the location information so that I can know which provider is actually finding a signal and turn off the others.
I decided to share the solution i found to the problem of Android not supporting real modal dialogs.The solution was to draw the dialog by myself. :-( Well, at least worked fine, besides the problem that its a bit ugly.
View 17 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post on this board and I wanted to express a great deal of thanks to everyone for the wealth of information avaiable.I recently rooted my EVO and installed Myn's 2.2 ROM which I am extremely happy with.There is NO CHANCE I would have done this without all the great info here.I have looked for this information and am a bit overwhelmed - this is the first phone I've rooted, so I am proceeding extremely carefully with all the things I do with it.I can't seem to find a definitive answer how to prevent OTA updates entirely.I'm not even sure I have to worry about it since I have a new ROM installed.The last thing I want to have happen is to wake up some morning and suddenly my phone is unrooted with a new version of Sprint's ROM. I am perfectly happy waiting for custom ROMs to come out with feature changes (for example, Gingerbread). If I never see an OTA update prompt again, and I can be sure it won't apply itself without my intervention, I'll be happy as a clam.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a simple Workout Timer for Android. The user creates a WorkoutPlan containing info such as total duration, total rest time, etc, the app will display a timer that updates every second.
Pretty simple to begin with, but I'm trying to build the app as properly as possible, i.e. separation of concern, correct techniques, responsive UI, ensure the timer will be accurate, etc.
Here's a simplification of what I have so far:
WorkoutPlan, the user can load/save different workout plans to the timer
Code:
public class WorkoutPlan {
public long duration;
}
TimerThread, this class implements `Runnable`, it takes in a `WorkoutPlan` in the constructor, start/stop, shows elapsed time.
Code:
public class TimerThread implements Runnable {
public boolean running = false;
[Code]....
TimerView, the custom view that displays the elapsed time
Code:
public class TimerView extends View {
private final Paint mBg;
private final Paint mText;
private WorkoutPlan plan;
private TimerThread timer;
private Thread thread;
private Handler handler = new TimerHandler();
[Code]...
Finally, WorkoutTimer, the activity that starts it off
Code:
public class WorkoutTimer extends Activity {
private TimerView mTimer;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
[Code]....
A couple of questions:
Where's the best place to create the `WorkoutPlan` object? Currently it's done in `TimerView`. Should it be done in the `WorkoutTimer` activity instead? If yes, how do I pass the `WorkoutPlan` object to `TimerView`?
The app works fine the first time, but crashes when I go to the home screen then back to the app the second time. What's causing it to crash? Is it the theading?
Currently I'm using a `Handler` in a new `Thread`. Is this ok or would a `TimerTask` be better? Where's the best place to start the thread? Am I correct to put all the threading code in `TimerView`?
Am I correct to add synchronized to all the methods in `TimerThread`?

I fear the answer is no, but before I change the structure of all of my log messages: Is there any way to do this: $ adb logcat *:S com.myappname.*:V
Or in words: I want to silence every tag that goes to logcat except the ones that begin with com.myappname. Currently my classes print into the log with this.getClass().getName() as the tag - typing each tag out individually in the filter isn't an option, so is there anyway to use the wildcard? The above command doesn't work, because it just silences every class, including the ones I've explicitly told to be verbal. I've also tried:
$ adb logcat -s com.myappname.*:V $ adb logcat com.myappname.*:V *:S
to no avail. I have a feeling I might have to log in a more constant fashion. Or I might just use log4J.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to developing for android. I have a question regarding some best practices. My app is like a dashboard from which multiple different "sub-activities" can be started and done. I am wondering what is the best way to structure the app. One way is to have different layouts and load and unload them appropriately. The other is to start new activities using intents. At least this is what I have gathered from what I have read.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my application, I am going to create a few listviews that are dependent on the listview before it. For example,Then, depending on user choice, will go next screen, let's say, it contains a submenu of each type of school,that may be different or may be the same to other states.What I want to know, is how to populate these different lists dynamically as the user goes on? I don't know what the best of doing this is, and I seem to be looking in the all the wrong places because I keep getting stuck. Once all the data is added into whatever structure is used, it will be static. I basically just need help as to how to code information into some sort of hashtable or anything of the sort that can be easily referenced, and later when the Application is updated, be able to add more schools/states/submenus etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Android main application will consist in a main program, with a few pre-installed modules.Then I want to offer different modules later, best would be as separate files. Modules like: location, weather, agenda.How would you accomplish this?I want to keep in the database the modules that are installed/present. So I must put sometimes the modules into database, maybe by detecting if there are present at launch time. The main app will work based on these modules.How can I build these modules as separate files? They won't be an entry point in my application. So they must not be an application in the navigation menu.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've run into an organizational problem with an application I am working on, on the Android platform. The application uses sensors as input and OpenGL as output.Assume very simple drawing code and somewhat complex control system code that will attempt to refresh at 60ish Hz. I am looking for performance, maintainability and easy of development implications, so any and all input is valuable. Also I am a complete novice when it comes to Android or mobile development so if you can show me the light with a third alternative that'd be great too.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had my Samsung Galaxy S for about a month now, and have just recently took the plunge and rooted it. I am now seeking a means of backing up my entire phone using a method that will essentially "freeze" my phone's current state, allowing me to restore to this exact state in the future, like an image of my phone. I want all apps, SMS messages, contacts, all settings, everything to be frozen in time as a backup.
I have searched these forums and through Google search results extensively and found a lot of information, most of it regarding Nandroid, Titanium Backup, SPRecovery, ClockworkMod Recovery etc. My understanding is this:
Titanium backup is more of a soft backup, it backs up your apps and settings and allows them to be reapplied.
Nandroid requires the recovery mode to be flashed using ClockworkMod Recovery
SPRecovery can be used instead of ClockworkMod Recovery, but they both have their own pros/cons.
Is there a definitive guide to achieve what I want?
Most of the guides I have read have been tailored to other devices such as the G1, HTC Hero, Droid etc.
TL;DR: I want to make a complete backup of everything on my phone, save it as an image, and be able to restore it later.
Subject says it all.I've read posts here and other places regarding turning off "Enable 'always-on' mobile". I'm still unclear on exactly what this does. I guess I can figure it out by turning it off - and sending exchange and Gmail e-mails to myself to see if/when they arrive.
View 20 Replies View RelatedI recently started programming in Android, and as a beginning project I am trying to build a logo quiz app. The idea: You see a splash screen after opening the app (play game - about). Play game takes you to a new activity called LevelSelector.java where you can choose the level you want to play. Clicking on a level takes you to another new Activity Level.java.I created a SQLite db with 20 questions in it which I install with a DBHelper.java class, every question also has a level column.
However, I get lost in my global structure. Since I work with different levels I don't want to make a new class for every level. I guess I lost the overview due to my lack of programming in android, but I figured the best way to learn it is (after I watched tutorials) to build an app myself..
I am trying to play a video in android emulator I have the video in my assets folder as well as the raw folder.But after doing some research still i cant play video in my emulator.i am working on android 2.1 My video format is mp4 so i don't think that should be a problem.Could anyone just give me an example code so that i can understand a bit more?The problem is that the VideoView that I need to display the Video will take only a URI or a File path to point to the Video.If I save the video in the raw or assets folder I can only get an input stream or a file descriptor and it seems nothing of that can be used to initialize the VideoView.
