How can i disable the panning/zooming functionality of a MapView (not the zoom controls, i want a wholly static map)?
I've also noticed that touching the map doesn't seem to trigger the MapView onClickListener, could anyone elaborate why?

I have made an Android app that shows a MapView with two overlays, one MyLocationOverlay and one custom overlay. I am programmatically zooming and panning to what I want the map to show. It also auto pans to my current location. The auto pan is moving the map away from what I want to show.
So my question is simply: How can I disable the auto pan?
I just wanted to know if there is some kind of class to use the multitouch features of android 2.1. Specifically I am trying to implement pinch-zoom and was wondering if I always have to measure the distance between two touch events and calculate the zoom level on my own?

Is there a way to always show the zoom controls on a MapView? I have added the zoom controls using code...

but the zoom controls fade in and out. I want them to always be visible.
I have been trying to get this seemingly simple problem fixed for about half a day now. I have a working MapView and I just want to show the default zoom keys and have them there all the time. They do not appear at all - it's not that they appear then go away.
Code...
I have tried commenting out the setZoom and tried moving the setBuiltInZoom controls to the updateLocation method. I've found a lot of posts in relation to this problem but none that solve it.
Are the following actions possible using the latest version of the Android API?:

Unfortunately, this isn't working on HTC devices (HTC Hero, etc) with Android 2.1. Any ideas on how I can disable pinch-to-zoom in this browser? Works fine on the iPhone.
I have the Nexus 7 and S4, and on both setups, there is 1 really annoying feature: triple tapping/clicking anywhere on the screen will create a "zoom" on the screen. How can i disable this? NonRooted on both.

Between pinch and tap zooming, the zoom buttons are now just in my way. Is there a way to disable them?
View 4 Replies View RelatedComing from an iPhone to the Fascinate, I've noticed that the pinch to zoom feature in the browser auto-fits the text after the zoom in. On my iPhone that didn't happen. I can see where auto-fit would come in handy, but there are times I don't want the layout of the site to change. I just want to zoom it a little - I'll happily finger scroll to the left, right, up, or down to read something.
Is there a way to disable the auto-fit on the zoom-in for the stock browser? I know there are other browsers out there, but I'm asking about the stock browser.
Perhaps this is a feature coming in 2.2?
I had found a lot of stackoverflow post about save an Activity and the reload it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm getting more and more requests about being able to use an App to SD feature that must be part of Android 2.2, but I really have no experience with it. I also don't know where to find any documentation regarding how to make my apps compatible with this feature. People have told me my apps cannot be moved to the SD card. My mind is also telling me that this is a really bad idea for paid apps that don't have license protection of any kind. Has anyone had any experience with this, know of any documentation, or have any tips regarding what would stop an app from being compatible with this feature?

My aim in my first app is to establish an ssh-connection to my linux machine running openssh and sending commands to it on the one hand and receiving stdout on the other hand.
Since there is an app for doing all the ssh that absolutely benefit to my needs, (connectbot) I thought it would be the best not reinventing the wheel and using connectbot for sending commands.
As I read there is a general mechanism in android to do so called intents. And I found that connectbot seems to offer such intents, but I don't feel able to use them at the moment and I'm not quite sure if it it works that way in general:

As I said I'm new to Java and android and only did a few hello world examples using these great xtensivearts video tutorials:
So its a bit hard for me to get started the right way. What do I want to do exactly?
Simply onpressbutton in my app -> sending a certain command in the background to the ssh-connected machine via connectbot or anything that can provide that.
In further development I would like to get data from the ssh-connected machine (stdout would be enough due to I could handle the output server-sided)
All this has to take place in the activity of my app. Even username and password should be configured via the settings of my app.
It simply should use the basic features of ssh via connectbot.
I would be really happy if you could help me getting started right with this issue. I know it sounds a bit hard for the first app but I really need ssh in my app cause it would greatly facilitate the server sided development.
My first smartphone was the first generation iPhone which I still use to this day. With the release of the EVO 4G and the coming release of the 4th generation iPhone, I am excited by the choices I have.
Let me explain: I love how the GPS works on my friends 3GS iPhone. I love the way you can find yourself on the map and the little dot moves along the street with you.
Questions:
1.) Does the EVO 4G have a function like that?
2.) The only Youtube videos I can find regarding the EVO 4G's GPS function are all related to driving. Can anyone link me to a video of a person using GPS while walking around?
3.) I would like your opinions regarding the EVO 4G's GPS functionality.
In closing: I will be honest here, if the GPS experience on the EVO 4G is not as sexy as on the iPhone, I probably will end up purchasing the iPhone. I will admit though, the EVO 4G sure is a powerhouse of a smart-phone.
The things that sometimes a brute force shake would be most helpful for and that I would pay money to have my phone do:
1. Shake to full brightness. When it's too bright to see the screen, it's a PITA to try to get the brightness turned up.
2. Shake to current phone call. Occasionally, I exit the phone app and it's frustrating not to be able to hop back over there quickly.
3. Shake to unlock. It's annoying to always be swiping when I just want to quickly check something on my phone. A quick shake would be much easier as an option.
Anyone know of any libs for Collections that are similar to iOS NSPredicate? The NSPredicate classes allow you to specify SQL-like filtering rules which can be applied to collections of object, other collections, etc., to retrieve filtered results.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan any version of Android support simultaneous connections on both a mobile network (e.g. 3G) and a WiFi network? Here's the requirement: I want to connect to a local Wifi network of sensors/devices that is not connected to the Internet, and be able to transmit data to an Internet-connected web server. Obviously quite easy to do on virtually any platform in Java, but it seems that Android does not allow multiple networks/radios to be active at a time. Big flaw, IMO. Should be a configurable option to allow that. With Froyo and mobile hot spot functionality, clearly it is *technically* possible to do, but I don't want to be the Wifi "host", but rather, a "connected client" to another Wifi network, and then do web requests over the 3G network.

Is there a way to override the functionality of this Home button so it can pop-up three button activity that simulates the actual Back, Menu and Home button on a regular android phone. Is there any specific configuration when compiling the 2.2 source tree to achieve the desired behavior without modifying the source code? If not, can anyone please provide some hints on how or which portion of the source to modify?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid and accordingly, have all of the stock Google Apps which come with Vanilla android. I work in the IT department at a University, though, and we're trying to decide on policy regarding the syncing of mobile phones and the level of support which we offer to customers. Android phones have been a burden because of manufacturer customization. We've had many issues with Galaxy users, motoblur users, and especially Sense users, specifically related to syncing properly with exchange servers.I've only just realized that the manufacturer customizations are not just skins, they replaced entire apps, such as the email app, with what seems to be inferior apps. Vanilla Android, with the stock email app seems to have no trouble syncing to the exchange server. On the other hand, the Sense app, for example, will not. Instead of recommending fixes for each manufacturer, we are recommending the use of Touchdown (which is 20 dollars and it bothers me to have to recommend one of the most expensive apps in the market).I know that the stock app has no issues with Exchange sync of calendars, contacts, and email. Is there any way, on a non-rooted HTC phone for example, to replace the sense app with the stock app?Worst of all is the fact that instead of finding a resolution to the issue, the school is recommending the iPhone, stating that it is "more compatible" with the school's server. I know this isn't true and hate sending business in Apple's direction, so I'd really like to help find a resolution to this.
