Sep 16, 2010I realize the Camera button on the Droid X is not a standard feature across all phones, so, I'm curious how to attach a callback to it. I have a camera application that I wrote and I want the user to be able to snap the picture by pressing that button, but currently it doesn't work that way, so, I'm wondering how to attach my callback to it.

Jul 27, 2010How can I capture a long press of the device menu button in my application?I thought of an intent filter, but there's only an action called android.intent.action.SEARCH_LONG_PRESS, but nothing for the MENU button.I found that long press of the menu button actually does different things on different devices,i.e. on Nexus One it will show the soft keyboard, while on Samsung Galaxy S it will pop up the search widget.

Jun 5, 2010I have a ListActivity and I want to implement context menu for each of the list elements. I know that the common way to do this is to show the context menu on long click/tap.

Sprint HTC Hero :: On Home Screen Long Press Menu Key Function?
Nov 15, 2009I tried searching for this, to no avail, but here is the situation. I was on my main Home screen and just trying to figure stuff out and when I long press the menu key it brings up the onscreen keyboard. I figured it was for contact search or something, but it did nothing when I typed...or so I thought. Now everytime I back out to the Home screen a little transparent "window" displays with letters i first typed. I cant type new letters to display or even use the backspace key to erase. Any one know what Im talking about?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHTC Hero :: Possible To Disable Double-press Menu Feature To Unlock Phone?
Oct 3, 2009A couple of times today I have taken the Hero out of my pocket to find that it is unlocked and doing something (first time it tried to send an SMS to a black number and then it had loaded the browser) which is weird because I didn't think it would be able to use the touch screen while in my pocket.I'm guessing that it managed to unlock itself by pressing the menu button twice while in my pocket, but this does seem unlikely - anyway I activated the unlock pattern and it hasn't done it since, so my question is it possible to disable the ability to double-press menu to unlock it? (It's rooted if that makes it possible).It's always possible that I just didn't lock the phone either of those times, but that seems more unlikely. Has anyone else noticed this problem?

This means that I can no longer "Open in new tab".It's all working fine on my Nexus 7.
HTC Magic :: In Call Menu During A Call / Press 1
Jul 15, 2009I have searched the forums and the htc documentation, but cannot find any way to press a number key during a call. You know those numbers that you dial where you get a voice saying for option "A", press 1, for option "B", press 2, etc.The only way I can seem to bring up the keyboard is by pressing the call button, but then it seems as though android wants to transfer the call to the number I am entering.Does anyone know of a way to enter the number for the call you are on?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: View On Press Onpress - Change Background Color On Press - How Do Show That The View Is Being Pressed
Jan 5, 2010I have, for the time being, a custom view with a 9-patch image as a border.
That custom view is placed three times in a LinearLayout, so it looks like this:
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
I have attached a click event listener to the View, so it is clickable. But then I click it, I cant see that I am clicking it - there is no change in color.
So, Im thought that I'd attach a "onPress" listener, and then change the background of the view but I couldnt find such a listener.
So, the question is - how do I create the behaviour on the View so I can see that it is being pressed? this is normally done in Android with a green background to indicate that it is now being pressed.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Detecting Hardware Capabilities
Jun 3, 2009There are return values and such that allow handling if SensorManager sensors and location providers aren't available, but what about the camera and microphone for audio recording? Is there a way to detect those in software, or are we just to assume that every device running Android (even the rumored set-top box) is going to have a camera and microphone and try to use them?
In the case of the camera, it would seem that Camera.open() returning null would indicate the lack of hardware. I don't know if that assumption is valid or not, though, considering it isn't documented as such.
In the case of the microphone, though, I don't see anything that could possibly be checked. The same goes for the camera if you're wanting to do video with the MediaRecorder class.

Android :: ScaleGestureDetector Not Detecting Gesture End
Oct 31, 2010I have hooked in a ScaleGestureDetector to an OnTouchListener as instructed in Android documentation. For some reason the ScaleGestureDetector does not always detect end of a pinch gesture. This happens mostly when pinching fast from large to small.
The effect is that after I have released both fingers the detector does not fire the gesture end event. If I touch the screen with one afterwards it still thinks I'm continuing the scale gesture (keeps firing onScale events). I have to do another gesture to get the detector to fire end event.
I have added logs to the OnTouchListener and when the scale gesture gets stuck I still get motion events normally when using one finger and event.getPointerCount() is 1.
I have made sure that I don't have any other listeners intervening. View that has the onTouchListener is not the only view on screen but this effect happens also when I'm very careful to begin and end the gesture inside this one view.
Is there any way to improve the end detection?
Or if there a way for me to manually set the ScaleGestureDetector to fire onScaleEnd and change scaleGestureDetector.isInProgress() to false?
Android :: Detecting Which Drawable Folder Was Used
Nov 26, 2009Is there a way to detect whether a image was pulled from the folder res/drawable or res/drawable-hdpi?I am trying to save space and have a program that is using some hdpi bitmaps and some mdpi bitmaps. When an image is placed in drawable-hdpi it automatically replaces the mdpi version. I need to know when this happens beacuseI am using bitamp.resize() to fix the image sizes.The problem is that the getDensity() method (in the if statment after the && ) returns the screen density and I need the original bitmap density. This allays matched the screenDPI and returns false. I have a lot of artwork and do not want to duplicate everything for every size screen. I am trying to just create hdpi bitmaps for the ones that don't look good when re-sized.
