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.

I'm looking for an app or widget that will give me a breakup of each category of application running on my phone.I own a Samsung Galaxy S running Android OS v2.1. (The phone itself has a stock "Settings -> About Phone -> Battery use" report, but that is rudimentary and doesn't report all types of usages.) If this question has already been answered, I'd be grateful for a link (couldn't find one by searching the forum).

Sure, I could go through and add up every single call I've made to them in my call log, but is there some app that does that for me?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble finding class or API in android documentation which can help me get battery usage statistics per application. I have read PowerManager class and BatteryManager but they are of no use .Though I can find applications like PowerTutor that do give you battery usage statistics per application, so I think its technically possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been searching all over this forum as well as the internet on how people are using their HERO and the battery performance they're getting out of it. I've seen answers from 9 hrs with heavy usage to 36 hours with minimual usage. That's about all the detail I've been able to find. (Maybe I'm just not good at searching?)With that, I decided to do a little tracking of my own. I logged my usage and battery performance over a 27 hour period and thought I'd share it with the community. Not sure if this is even helpful but maybe it'll provide some sort of baseline for others to compare against.I recorded the battery level in % based on the stock battery meter, the time I recorded the battery level and any activity that occured between the current time and the previous time recording. For example, between 7:00AM and 10:19AM the battery dropped by 10% and I had received 2 emails, 2 calendar reminders went off and I had surfed the web for about 10 minutes.

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.

information on direct access to GEARS geolocation functions from an Android application. To date, I have not found any. geolocation includes three Android-specific public Java classes, AndroidGpsLocationProvider, AndroidRadioLocationProvider, and AndroidWifiLocationProvider. The fact that they are Android-specific and that they are public lead me to conclude that I should be able to use these classes in my application. However, not surprisingly, when I try to access these classes, my application fails (see log below) because, among other things, I have no way to correctly identify nativeObject in the java classes. At the very least, I would like to understand the purpose of the three Android-specific public Java classes, and how we should use them.

I understand, at least on paper, the basic difference between the Content Provider and just directly accessing the SQLiteDatabase. I have a functioning prototype for my application, and currently it is just directly hitting the database. I don't really have any experience using the Content Provider pattern, but I have found out that I will need to share some data with another application.
I will only be sharing about 2 out of a dozen or so tables, so I was wondering if I should be just completely redoing the data layer to follow the Content Provider pattern, or just expose only those tables via a Content Provider for the sake of the other application and still directly access the database in the primary application.
One of the issues I ran into with my prototype was that I have some fairly complex transactions, and the code I wrote to get that working is not designed particularly well and isn't reusable at all. As I add more functionality to this app, I'm going to need a better designed data access layer, before I set off writing my own, does anyone know of any good resources with design patterns for this type of thing already? Also, if I need to go the Content Provider route, am I going to have solid control over the database transactions?
I'm having problems with the Twitter direct access on the phone, I'm getting an error stating that my ID or password are incorrect, but if I go to www.twitter.com on same phone using the web browser have no problem with my ID.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've just published an app to Google Play. It is an app that allows people (mostly tourists) in my area to easily find businesses around them. One functionality that my app offers is to make a phone call to these companies by tapping a button in the app, including emergency numbers.
Google Play says that the app requires "direct phone access, it can call phone numbers without your intervention, which can lead to a high phone bill, but not emergency numbers". This doesn't completely fit my intention.
My app would work just fine if it had to ask the user every time it wanted to make a call, and it doesn't call anything when no buttons are tapped, plus I DO want the app to be able to call emergency numbers (with the user's consent off course).
I've used XDA many times before, normally for specific questions on ARHD ROMs.
I work on a cruise ship and we're continually crossing time zones. Currently, to alter the time zone on my (rooted) HTC OneX, I need to pull down the notifications tray, select settings, scroll down and select date and time, then select time zone. I can't use the Auto function, as the network time on the ship (satellite) is only available over Wi-Fi, for which I have to pay an exorbitant rate.
I'm looking for an app that will allow me one-tap access to changing the time zone. 'Time Zone Widget Light' almost does the job, as a tap on the widget scrolls through pre-set time zones, but this only allows me to step forward, and sometimes I need to go backwards as well (sadly our ship itineraries refuse to follow pre-set time zones, although I'm working on it!)

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the Market web page, I can see how many copies of my apps have been installed. But, this only shows the current total. If I want to see historical trends, I need to check the page daily and record the numbers myself -- an annoyance at best. Is this info available anywhere on the Market site? If not, has anyone written a screen-scraping utility (or equivalent) that can harvest the data into a spreadsheet?
View 18 Replies View RelatedLast week I published our first app to the Market, which is a game targeted to users in The Netherlands. Now that the G1 has been available over here for a couple of days, we have received feedback from several of our users. When I look at the developers console in the market however, the download count still shows 0.
Also on the device it is listed as <50. When looking around in the Market, I see that all applications targeted to The Netherlands are listed as having <50 downloads, even an application that received a lot of publicity. Have other developers noticed the same?
I'm at the beginning of writing an AddWidget for the home-screens. From what I understand, these can only utilize RemoteViews ran by the home-process and not your own. Which means we won't be getting any callbacks, such as onDraw. Is there a way you can get knowledge of how often and for how long a widget is visible? The RemoteView API seems very simplistic, what am I missing?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a listview populated by a text file hosted on my website that is parsed and made into separate list items. Each list item sends the user to a new activity to view more information on that item. My question is - how do I go about tracking the following data about my application..
# of views of the whole listview
# of unique views of the listview
# of times each list item is clicked
# of unique clicks of each list item
Would like to know, from someone who has tried it, if changing an Application's title in the Developer Console has any affect on the applications Ratings or Number of download statistics. In other words, will I lose anything?
My impression is no, but I don't recall if documentation says that explicitly or if its just implied. Would like to know from someone who has tried it. I don't want to experiment with my app.
Steps to change Title. Go to Developer Console->click link for the app->Look for Listing Details-> Change the Title ->click Save
