I have some resources in my app that are going to be loaded optionally for different brands. I don't want to set up entirely different projects each time we re-brand the app so I want to know if the resources that are not used will be always packaged in and if there is a way to avoid this.

My android application has several warnings of the following form when I run it in the emulator:
"Resources don't contain package for resource number <Hex Address>"
How can I fix these warnings? In particular, is there an easy way to find out what the hex address refers to?
I'm writing on a custom view in android. It uses some png's, provided as resources in the drawable-folder (I put it in all of the drawable folders now, just to make sure) of my project. Unfortunately, when I startup the app, I get a force close and the last thing the log says is: "WARN/ResourceType(261): Resources don't contain package for resource number 0x7f020002" (The Hex-Number is the first icon I intend to load). Now for the curious thing: The graphical layout-editor of the eclipse adt plugin has no problems whatsoever loading an displaying the icons in its design view. It's only when I start up the actual app (emulator or actual cellphone), that android can't find the resources. I tried cleaning the project and refreshing the file structure.

I have already removed a few stock apps (like the Visual Voicemail). I suppose I could also remove unused wallpapers, sounds, etc., but would freeing up this space offer any benefit?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI synced up with my computer after uninstalling unused apps and clearing the browser cache and a few others, just general clean up to keep the phone running smooth. After roaming around my sd card, I came across this. A total of 84 cache files totaling 3.24mb. What is this from and is it ok to delete them? I'm assuming it is since it is just cache, which you can delete any of theme xcept for google nav (force close issues).
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my Android project, I want to loop through the entire collection of Drawable resources. Normally, you can only retrieve a specific resource via its ID using something like:
InputStream is = Resources.getSystem().openRawResource(resourceId)
However, I want to get all Drawable resources where I won't know their ID's beforehand. Is there a collection I can loop through or perhaps a way to get the list of resource ID's given the resources in my project?
Or, is there a way for me in Java to extract all property values from the R.drawable static class?
i work on custom Application Manager and try to get the disk usage of installed package. So PackageManager.getpackageSizeInfo was removed from SDK on 0.9->1.0 update android.content.pm. PackageStats(String pkgName)(cacheSize, codeSize, dataSize) returns always "0" Size of phys. file (java.io.File) in "/data/app" seems wrong/not completely. Has anybody any solution to get the total disc space used by an installed package?

"528 MHz ARM11 Jazelle™[2] Java� hardware acceleration"
And from what I've read on the net, MSM7201A-a is the dual-core CPU powering the G1. So, can you confirm that Android could be faster, if Android could use the Java, instead of the Dalvik VM, and that this didn't happen because of Sun?

Maybe I am misunderstanding something but I believe Android is supposed to automatically kill "unused" tasks after a while. Is that correct? I own a Galaxy S and I see that I still have in the running tasks list some apps that I haven't used for more than 18 hours. And these taks do not make any kind of auto sync, they communicate with the network only when used actively. Am I misunderstanding something?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to override an Android View class to tweak the functionality just slightly. But I need to modify a field that does not have a setter method. I've placed the subclass in a package called android.widget. Why can't I access any of the package-private member fields? I notice that the compiler says they "cannot be resolved," rather than not being accessible. Does this have something to do with how Android.jar is built?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a ton of folders on SD card and some places on my phone's internal storage that I want to know how to delete, bottom line is some of them are important folders that may be required by the system - some contain downloaded data from games and what not - such as The Sims Freeplay - that range in sizes from 400MB to 900MB.
I'm running on a stock phone, HAS NEVER BEEN ROOTED,
I've got an XML file storing an array of shorts in my resources. I need to assign this array, but Android API only provides a way to get array of ints (getResources.getIntArray()). I've ended up getting an array of ints and converting it to array of shorts later, but that's hardly ideal.
Is there a way to get an array of shorts from Android resources? If not, is there a more efficient/cleaner way of converting int array into short array? My code ...
Could someone please tell me how to access android's native resources? In particular, I would like to use the camera icon and shutter sound in my own app.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI did was use the search function and after 10 pages I could not see what I was looking for. In java, we use method parameters for a number of reasons but I've never used parameters in my methods unless I needed them..When defining a method in android for a button that I want to click, I had my method defined in XML under the Button element
[HIGH]androidnClick="showText"[/HIGH]
then, in my ProjectName.java file I defined the method
[HIGH]public void showText(View view){
}[/HIGH]
I was told that the View in the parameter is the view that was clicked.Button is a subclass of View as is TextView and since that is the case,is this the rule for just the onClick method? Also, why can I not pass the Button as a parameter? Button is the actual "View" being clicked, so why not Button?
Furthermore, are there other methods similar to this and if so, do they all follow the rule just like the View parameter, where let's say if I had a class called "A" and it had a subclass "B" and that class had a subclass "C", and if I wanted to use the onClick method, I can only pass the Highest Class as the parameter?
To simplify that, are there ever cases where I would pass anything else OTHER THAN "View" as the parameter to these methods?
Is it possible to get an InputStream (or file handler) to feed a SAX parser from an XML file stored at the Resources XML folder (instead raw Resources folder)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got some XML resources in my Android app. Each one has a different name like "bicycle.xml" and "car.xml". I'd like to know if there's a way to load resources based on conditions during run time.
As an example...
Say I had a text input in my app. When the user enters "bicycle", my app can look up an XML resource by that name, parse and load it. Whereas if they enter "car", they would end up with the data from the other XML file.
I've noticed so far that to load resources, you have to use the autogenerated "R" class, which restricts you to hard-coding resources at compile time.
Is there an app that enables a clean up of old unused files, cache, internet files, etc
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having problems trying to keep the wi-fi ON for a continuous period of time. Every time i turn on the wifi, and leave the phone idle after using an app, the connection is automatically disconnected. I did change the advanced wifi settings sleep policy to Never, but still shows disconnected. I am sure that i am well in the range of my wireless router and that it is switched on at all times. This is very annoying cause i have to turn ON and OFF the wireless adapter on my phone to regain connection to use other apps.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to create a light rom for my RK2818 tablet. I removed lots of apk's, and it works fine. Now, I want to delete the unnecessary languages and dictionaries from the keyboard (LatinIME.apk).
How can I do it? Can I simply remove the folders like resaw-da with Total Commander (compression set to 0)? I want to keep English and Hungarian languages only.
I'm also interested in more tips to speed up this unofficial cyanogenmod 2.3.7 rom, because this old chinese tablet with 256mb ram is only used to watch movies and browse the internet. I've already updated the hosts file with the adfree version, and removed the following apk's:
ADWLauncher.apk (replaced with LauncherPro)
Bluetooth.apk (no BT in this device)
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
Camera.apk (no cam...)
CMStats.apk
CMUpdateNotify.apk
[code]....
Can I remove any of these? I want to remove everything wich is not important.

I really like the phone a lot! I use the barcode scanner and the google goggles (which I think needs some more work IMO) and constantly google stupid stuff at work that me and the guys come up with. I really like the phone, but wouldn't mind getting rid of some useless programs I have. (Like on my home PC). Not to forget the Full version of Angry Birds. I'm addicted to that game! Its awesome!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm about to retire my trusty old Epic 4G and whats the best way to store my battery on it. I will be removing it but I'm not sure whether I should store it fully charged or half way charged. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that you should store your battery with 50% charge for it to have some life if you ever need to use the phone months or a few years time. Storing it fully charged can pose a threat due to the battery blowing up?!?! Not sure if this is correct or not. What to do to preserve your unused batteries in your old phones?
