Android :: Direct Search Shortcut?
May 31, 2010
I recently installed LauncherPro on my Droid and am trying to make use of the additional home screen space. One thing I would like to do is create a on-click shortcut to search for nearby hardware stores (I'm a contractor and sometimes need to pickup task-specific materials). I could swear there used to be a shortcut available called "Direct Search" or something like that, that would do just what I'm looking for, but I don't see it when I try to add a shortcut to the home screen. Did this used to exist, or was it just my imagination? Is there anything like it now? I know I could make a bookmark in the browser and place a shortcut to the bookmark on the home screen, but I was hoping for the results to come up in Google Maps.

I'm looking for an app that I can create a shortcut on the home screen and it will automatically email a specific email address. I know there are things that are close to this (add contact to home screen) but then you have to click again to send an email, etc. I'm looking for the equivalent of a fast "note to self" application for quick capture of ideas.

I have a droid X running 2.1 update 1: I want a direct link to my universal inbox from my homescreen that drills directly into the inbox displaying all my messages. Currently, the best I can do is to use the "messaging" shortcut, which then goes and displays another shortcut to my "universal inbox" along with my individual mailboxes. I want to cut out the two-step approach, and get a direct shortcut.

Doesn't this phone support the direct dial shortcut on the desktop? I am trying to add contacts on my desktop that I would like 1-touch access to but the only way to add a contact is using the shortcut to contact. Clicking on that opens up the contact details and then I have to click on the number I want to call and select call or message. Is there any way to add a particular number for a particular contact directly onto the home screen? I know that the MT3G used to have a shortcut to direct dial option. Is there anyway to get that on this phone

Does anyone knowa way to set up a shortcut or widget to go directly to search all people. This phone is too slow to open people and then also wait for the search window to open. Lately I have just been searching contacts through the dialer since it is faster.

I would like to create a search in my app which acts like the map search in the Google Maps app. I have creates an an auto complete text view which updates dynamically based on the results of the Geocoder.GetLocationByName() Method. However the results retrieved from this function are really bad and not at all consistent with the text I pass to it. Is there a better method of doing this to achieve accurate results?

When implementing search in my application, I'm including some search context info depending on the activity where search is invoked. In one of those, I'd like to implement type-to-search as well, but the standard method of adding search context info doesn't work in that case... the onSearchRequested() method in the activity is never called. Is there any way to include search context info in a type-to-search invocation, or am I stuck with only the Search key and menu option?

Before, when I pressed the search button (the one with the magnifying glass) it cued up the google search bar. Now, after theming, the search button does nothing from the homescreen, but does still work while in applications, the browser, the market, etc. I am running launcher pro, deodexed w/ revolution.

I wanted to put this in the droid X section because the default way of searching contacts is horrible. I installed gesture search last night and now one of my few gripes with the phone is solved. I hated having to having to hold the options button to bring up a keyboard and then having to clear my last entry to start another search.

In a process of switching from indirect to direct buffers for OpenGL geometry specification I've found a problem with the following function in java.nio.IntBuffer class: IntBuffer put(int[] src, int off, int len) this function is supposed to do a bulk transfer of int data from the given array starting at the specified offset. It should be an optimized version of the following code: for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {buffer.put(src[off + i]);}

I have an Android 3.2 and the Wifi direct works fine.The problem is, I'm trying to compile this sample but it says that the import "android.net.wifi.p2p" cannot be resolved.Well, if Android 3.2 supports Wifi Direct an actually I'm able to send files through this, why I'm not able to develop for this?
this error don't happen when the project is configured to run over Android 4.0.

So - I *love* Google Maps with Navigation and I just recently upgraded to the new version of maps where it gives you a direct link to Navigation. My issue though is that I do not have any voice navigation when I start Navigation directly but I do have it when I just go through the regular Maps link and then select Navigation in there. I checked the menu and it is not muted. The sounds is also set to high. As I said, the sound works perfectly well if I go through the main app. Just not with the new direct link. Anyone else seeing this or worked this out?

Does anyone know of a direct api that allows access to CPU usage statistics for different applications/tasks running inside android? All I can find is data available by accessing a file "/proc/stat" but this seems a little cumbersome. ActivityManager holds data about processes/tasks etc but no CPU usage stats.

Im trying to record audio directly from the system. Using the standard API, you can only record from the MIC or phonecalls, ala: MediaRecorder.Some ways I've tried is to read from /dev/audio and /dev/eac from my app, but I think the sandbox of the app is preventing this.Im thinking about using the NDK, but Im not sure if that would overcome the sandbox aspect ? Ideally, there is some solution outthere to access the audio sub- system directly. Whether it be directly to alsa, to the AudioFlinger, to /dev/eac

Is there a way to capture the audio using AudioRecord or any other API into a Direct ByteBuffer created using ByteBuffer.allocatedirect call with an offset?
From the documentation it is not clear that at which offset, calling the following method, will place the data: audiorecord.read(directbytebuffer, size);

Been getting a headache with some 2d Opengl coordinates and putting them in a direct buffer.
I have a basic square defined as such
CODE:...............
This runs, no segfault or anything, and when I iterate through the buffer the size and values seem exactly the same (8 elements, ordered just as the array). What happens though is that my draw() function draws nothing, it works one way, but doesn't work the other way. I use Direct Buffers in a lot of my other geometry. I have to get direct buffers working or I know that my software might not be reliable.
CODE:.........
My Drawing function is as follows.
CODE:..................

htc desire froyo. When I go to youtube.com from the stock browser I can load the page but when I click to any of videos it looks like it starts to load (loading circle in the middle is rotating) and then I get the message "An error occured, please try again later." at the center of the clip.
I was able to play them but now I can't. Can anyone provide a solution?
And please thank you anyway but do not offer solutions such as: use another browser, go to mobile site, use youtube app (which works by the way).
Main reason for me to switch to android is option to enjoy desktop view of the web on mobile device.

I wrote a widget that can call numbers directly with one click. It works on the emulator, and it used to work on my nexus one when it had Android 2.1. Now I got the update, and the widget stopped working. I am using Intent.ACTION_CALL, and android.permission.CALL_PHONE. If I change to Intent.ACTION_DIAL it works, and the same code works from an activity. It is the combination of an app widget and the call action. I don't see any error. Does anyone know if it is not possible, and if so, how? Are there many cases the emulator is different than the cell phones, concerning the permission aspects?
The numbers are all regular, not 911 or something.

Is it possible to have a Direct Wi Fi Connection between my Android device (Lg L5 e610) and my PC (Win7, Ubuntu 13.04, Mac OSx Snow Leopard)? Is there any tool or program to do it? Or at least a developement project (I like to be a tester)? I found some solutions for my question but they need to a router to work and i haven't it

Just found out that I don't need content providers if I don't need to share data with other applications. But since the examples I've seen all use content providers, I'm not sure how to proceed without them and populate activities with data derived from accessing my application's database directly.

I've been looking for a widget that will allow me to direct dial (direct text a bonus!) from home screen. I've looked around online and there doesn't seem to be anything that suits me well. I tried making the "direct dial" shortcuts by long-pressing, but those icons are small and have a little "M" and image of Android which obscures the photo icon. I found the perfect app while searching for other stuff. I've attached the image to this post. Does anyone know what the app is that allows me to place those 2x1 icons onto the screen?
