Android :: Email Programmatic Setup And Modification
May 12, 2010
I wanted to know if it is even possible to either set up or modify email account settings programmatically. I do not believe it is, due to email applications controlling their own settings (and thus would depend upon a ContentProvider from that specific client), but I have not yet found a definitive "no", either.
Further, I was wondering about the email account support on Android in general. It appears that Android 2.0 and above will allow for multiple ActiveSync/Exchange accounts and mulitple IMAP/POP3 accounts, and displays these in the same inbox. Is this claim true? Also, how is this different from the other major Android releases (Android 1.5 and 1.6)?

My Gmail account works great, and I have my aol and yahoo acounts set up no problem (well the yahoo was a little problem but got it to work so thats all that matters). I have 2 other email accounts that no matter what I do I can not get them to work. One is my works email which is handled by a company called network solutions. I can get the incoming server setup fine but I can not get the outgoing to work. The other is my school email which is some sort of msn email account variation (username@email.itt-tech.edu which i log into through msn.com). I cant get anything to work for this accuont.

I Googled around and found K-9 Email and went to Google Apps to download it and upon tapping the download button a message came up stating "no devices found". The Nexus7 is running Jellybeen 4.2.1.

I am trying to link my school email account with my Eris and it wont let me. I got all the settings entered correctly, but it says it cant verify the account and to try again? And advice or suggestions? My blackberry I had before the Eris linked it up no problem.. Ive got to figure this out! "Another way to check your email account is with a POP or IMAP email client like Outlook, Eudora, or Apple's Mail. The table below contains the information you will need to set up your email client to access your university email account."

I need an email app that Works preferably for my G1 phone. I need it for university and my job, however I can not for the life of me, after a week of trying to get the email app that came on the phone to work it will not work. I took the phone to the IT department if my university after I followed their instructions online for setting the email account up on the phone and every time I got to outgoing server settings the app force closed. The IT guy couldn't get it to work either.
I tried it a few times at home before it just sat for an hour trying to do something or other before my phone crashed and it turned itself off. I had a panic attack and thought I had broken it but alas my phone loves me too much to do that to me. So are there any other apps out there that are worth while for IMAP email (I do know its IMAP no idea what IMAP is =) that I can use with my G1 that I wont have to kill to get it to work?

I set up my Eclipse as it is described on http://source.android.com/using-eclipse.
But how can I run the Email app on my device? An "run as..." on the source folder miss the Android simulator. When I use the Email sources to build a Android project, it miss a lot of dependencies.

I have read through the threads here and I know this is theoretically possible, but I can't get it to work. I have my Google apps email configured through the regular email app and set to push my email, but it doesn't actually push. I thought I'd try it with the GMail app, but I can't get it set up. When I try to configure it as a Google account, it says it "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" even though my data signal is fine. This happens both on 3G and WiFi.
I had read to add the account as a Google account, using my full username@mydomain.com as the login and my password, so that's what I've been trying. I can't find anything that works for me on here, and the stuff on Google is really outdated and just sends me to the mobile website.

We have two EVOs. I successfully and easily setup my exchange account (my employer uses Exchange Server 2003). When setting up the second phone for my spouse (employer uses Server 2007), the username/password cannot be authenticated. Went into manual setup and had same issue. Bottom line, cannot set this up. Any ideas for troubleshooting?

Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this but everytime I try and set up K-9 email, it says null point invalid (or something along those lines). Has anyone been able to get their Eris to work with K-9 and if so how did you get it set up.

How can I take a screenshot programmatically? So far I've learned that:
1) DDMS does it by sending "framebuffer:" to the adb service over a socket, which takes a screenshot in framebuffer_service.c that it sends back.
2) There are some proprietary screenshot apps out there that stipulate the user must have root access, I'm not sure why.
Would it be possible for an Android app to send "framebuffer:" to its own adb service and get the screenshot that way?

Has anyone seen or compiled benchmarks comparing declarative (XML) versus programmatically created UI's in Android? There are things that Google has done to speed up the declarative approach, but you still do have the layout inflation step done at runtime. Have you ever switched (or considered) changing your UI from declarative to programmatic for any reason?

I got my college email account today, and I want to sync it to my phone. My college uses Gmail for the email accounts, but instead of it being @gmail.com, it is @[college name].edu ... so how would I go about adding this to my phone since it is gmail without a @gmail.com?

From your main screen click on the mail icon
Click on Other (POP3/IMAP)
Type in your suddenlink email, and password, and then click on MANUAL SETUP.
On the next screen input your email and username is also your full email.
On the Incoming Mail Server enter the following:
Host Name: pop.suddenlink.net
User Name: your-email@suddenlink.net
Password: yourpassword (may already be entered)
Click NEXT and on the Outgoing Mail Server enter the following:

So I just got the Samsung Fascinate last night and am having a problem setting up my email. I set up the gmail which they said I had to in order to access the marketplace - however when I go to the email app to set up my charter email account - I enter my email address and password - it says it's checking incoming network and then gives me an error saying it is unable to open connection to server. I've tried the automatic set up and manual - and I have no luck with either one. I have Verizon as my carrier - and looked on their site and Charter is a server that I should be able to set up email with on this phone.
Obviously I"m not that "saavy" with this stuff - and am not sure what to do to solve this problem. Wanted to check here first before calling them.

I am a new owner of Photon 4g. I used to have a HTC touch. I am getting "login failed. please try again" message when I try to setup my corporate email.
1> I have tried using both domainusername and just username with no success.
2> Also have tried setting up gmail as corporate account and later changing to the desired account settings as suggested in other forums and it still shows the same error.
3> I have also tried unchecking "verify certificate"
I have been able to using the same credentials on my old phone and it used to work perfectly.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace which recently went on Gingerbread.
Now, I have been trying to set up my Yahoo email on the phone. If I go to "Email"; I get an option to only download emails from Inbox, Drafts and Sent Items.
I have created a lot of folders in the email account so I'd like to have those on the phone as well. How do I do that.
I would rather prefer not using the Yahoo Mail App as that is very slow.

I'm looking for a programmatic way to set-up http proxy settings for android handsets. I've tried using android.provider.Settings.System.putString() to set System.HTTP_PROXY, but my call fails (I'm using a 2.2 emulator image at the moment). My code looks like:
if (System.putString(getContentResolver(), System.HTTP_PROXY, "10.10.2.1:8080")) {
tv.append("put for HTTP_PROXY succeeded. ");
} else { tv.append("put for HTTP_PROXY failed. "); }
I've also added to my android manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" />
Although it's not clear from the docs which permission, if any, is required.
I'm familiar with this SO thread, but the technique there requires manual adb commands, which require the SDK tools and (possibly) a rooted phone. Is there a way to accomplish this? Ideally, I'd like away to set an http proxy that will be used for both data and WiFi connections.

I need to add some parts of my UI programmatically. I'm doing this because I need to set the ids of some elements up in such a way that they can be easily access in a for loop. So far I have this xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/attr_row" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <EditText android:id="@+id/attr_name"
android:hint="Attribute" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="textPersonName" />
<EditText android:id="@+id/attr_val" android:hint="Value"
android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="3"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="textPersonName" />
<ImageButton android:id="@+id/drop_attr" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/btn_delete_states"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" /> </LinearLayout>
At the moment, I inflate this xml five times like so:
for (int i = 0; i<5; i++) { LinearLayout attrList = (LinearLayout) findViewById (R.id.attr_list);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.attr_row, null);
LinearLayout extraAttr = (LinearLayout) row.findViewById (R.id.attr_row);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
attrList.addView(extraAttr, i, params); }
The link below shows two pictures - the layout hierarchy and the result in the emulator. http://picasaweb.google.com/bengoldcross/Android?authkey=Gv1sRgCJ785I...
As can be seen, the xml is inflated five times successfully but only one is actually displayed. Inspecting the hierarchy viewer a bit more explains why. The layout being displayed is at location x=0 y=111 all the others are being rendered at x=320 y=111. It would appear they are being displayed a) off screen and b) on top of each other. So, why are they and how do I stop it from happening?

Is there any way to add new words automatically to the 4.2.2 keyboard dictionary?
It's really annoying to agree three times and then the keyboard closes in some apps.
SwiftKey adds them as you write them down without Flow/Swype for one time.
However I didn't stay by SwiftKey because I love the stock keyboard too much.
Any modification? I would be ok with an "one-click-add" as well.

Droid X newbie but not new to Android. I've had a Droid for a year (almost) and my work phone just got upgraded form a bb to an X. I'm having trouble with the stock email program being able to send email fro my personal account. I use pair networks for my email hosting. I am able to set up the account to work fine on K9 mail, but not the stock email program. My corporate exchange email doesn't like K9 mail for some reason, so I don't want to use that for personal email if I have to. I notice on K9 mail, there's an option to check to not login for outgoing mail, but on the stock email program, it always asks for user name and pw in the outgoing settings. I have tried leaving them blank, but to no avail.

I realise Hotmail is POP only, but is there a way to have it behave more like an IMAP account? On the BB, there was an option to have both device and server inboxes sync'ed up, for read/unread and deleted emails... wondering if there's some setting to do this on the Android?

I ordered a droid and should be here Tuesday. Quick question. I am coming from a BB Storm where my Road Runner (internet provider) email account worked flawlessly on the Storm. Back in the day when i had a Treo there was big work around you had to use in order to get email accounts like this to work on it.Is this the case with a Droid as well, or is it as simple as the BB storm where i just enter in my email and password in setup and it is done? The sales rep on the phone told me i would be able to get my RR emails on the droid but we all know how sales reps can be.
