Android :: File Synchronization Application / Software
Jul 8, 2010
On my new Incredible, I will use files that I will need on both my phone and desktop PC. Some are Docs to Go files and one is a Keypass/KeypassDroid file. Is there a good reasonably simple app/software that will synchronize files so that the newer one is always on both phone and PC. Otherwise when I plug my Incredible to my PC I'll have to look and figure out if I last updated a file on my phone or PC and then copy it from one device to the other accordingly.

Still missing winmob a little. Just bought Docs to go so I can use excel pdf and word docs. What's the Android equivalent of Activesync ie. synchronizing a folder of files on the device with files on my laptop? Love all the multimedia stuff and the really nifty compass, flashlight and metal detector. Just feel like I'm missing the meat and potatoes of a productivity device.
How about an app to sync photos, tasks, notes and hotmail (I hate the pop mail crap, no folder sync). Can hotmail be sent through gmail like in the sticky? AK note looks great, but I think it's pointless if it lives and dies on just the Android device. Slightly frustrated with the learning curve and my battery going for hours on 3 % with no backlight!

Have been following Android news for some time and finally I decide that this platform is the on to love.Now the hardest part is deciding. Right now I am torn between HTC Legend, the upcoming Galaxy S, or Xperia X10.What I need:
1. A device that can have synchronization with a PC and/or internet storage to store contacts
2. Multimedia player. Preferrable able to play MP4, MKV, or AVI files (with Divx and Xvic odecs). Can be native software or third parties.
3. 3.5mm audio out jacks
4. Shipped with handsfree accesories.
5. Can play good games.
6. Can read and edit office documents
7. Agenda software with alerts and such.
8. Loud speaker.
9. Camera must be there. I don't care how crappy, it's just need to be there.
10. Flash that can be used as torchlight. Not a must, but it's not to have (my Siemens S75 has one, and have been very very usable and durable!)

At work, I have direct access to the Exchange server which I can synchronize with my HTC Android 2.1 without problems. At home I only have access to the Outlook Web Access webmail (which I can't access at work). Can I disable Exchange synchronization when I'm not connected to a certain WLAN? Also, as a bonus, would it be able for the Android to synchronize with the Outlook Web Access (like Evolution does in Ubuntu)?

I still cannot believe there is no way to keep your bookmarks synchronized with your computer's chrome's ones. Is there any way to keep my dolphin HD bookmarks synchronized with the bookmarks I use in chrome? I always found it very helpful, since I use chrome (and chromium) in at least three different computers and I never have to worry about my bookmarks because when I change them in one of the browser's instance, the other ones just change, having all the same ones. How to do the same on an android system?

While I understand it is convenient to be able to sync data with Internet servers for access from anywhere, there are people who don't really need or do not want to share their data (contacts, calendar, settings, etc). Is there a way to disable or remove the option, but allow applications to work. i.e.
- Vonage mobile app will not work without a Google account
- the default calendar does not work without a Google account.
In summary. Most applications won't work without a Google account.

What is the method to define a sync period for some account? ContentResolver allows to set automatic sync flag only. But what is period? Have I missed something? Or have I to schedule sync requests myself using the AlarmManager?

What is the point of the synchronization here? Why not just use: mConnectedThread.write(out); ?
The code snippet is from the BluetoothChat sample for Android (found here)
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/BluetoothChat/index.html
/**
* Write to the ConnectedThread in an unsynchronized manner
* @param out The bytes to write
* @see ConnectedThread#write(byte[])
*/ public void write(byte[] out) {
// Create temporary object ConnectedThread r;
// Synchronize a copy of the ConnectedThread synchronized (this) {
if (mState != STATE_CONNECTED) return; r = mConnectedThread;
} // Perform the write unsynchronized r.write(out);
}

I am working on developing an application which requires high precision time synchronization between handsets. I'm looking for under 100 microseconds of skew between phones. I wondered if anyone had tried this before. In theory the GPS receivers could be used to pretty accurately synchronize timing, but I'm not sure if Android is setup to use them that way. My first cut plan is to port a PTP (precision time protocol aka IEEE-1588) client to Android.

I am new here and I came from Symbian and Linux, for all the phones I've used there are at least one application for screen capture and one for time clock synchronization, both are very useful and basic task we will do with a smartphone, but on the Android I found none that can work without a 'rooted' phone. I don't know how other phones do it, but I know the reason for a 'rooted' phone is to be able to access the framebuffer for screen capture for example and this may be risky, I suppose it is simply a sub-routine call to the BIOS will do without the need for a complete 'open access' system. I know there is a way to capture the screen without a rooted phone, but the phone must be connected to a PC and I feel this is dumb and inconvenient, I may be completely wrong about Android, please fill me in.

I'd like to start an activity with some initial data (passed through Extras) that sets up a display page, while I simultaneously make a network call to get the rest of the data. I thought I'd pass this new data to the activity as a message to the activity's handler. Now, my question is: how can I make sure that the activity has finished drawing the page and is ready to show the message data? The data might come from the cache, so I'm worried the message may land in the handler before the page is ready to display it. Is there a way to synchronize the page draw and the message handling? E.g., is it possible to suspend the looper till the page is ready? What's the preferred way of doing what I'm trying to do?

If i create a new contact and then I synchronize my contact with my Gmail account (which actually doesn't contains any contact) I supposed to have the new contact also on my Gmail account, but that's not the case. The synchronization DELETES my contact on the phone. What's the problem? Am I doing something wrong?

I have 3 accounts in my HTC Desire. Gmail (or should I call this Google?) - the automatically saved emails that GMAIL keeps when you write to a person.
Phone - which are the phone numbers saved in my phone and
Facebook - So when I go to people, I see that there's like 4 categories when I press MENU and VIEW: SIM(0) ; Google(296); Phone(731) and Facebook (460)
Ok, first weird thing is that even if I choose to View only my Phone contacts, on searches and when I write an SMS, the suggestions include their Gmail and Facebook entries too- which is quite confusing because the reason I hid them is I only want to send an SMS (yeah I know theres an option "Only contacts with phone number"). Is this really the case? Next weird thing is that: Since some of my Phone contacts are actually my Gmail and FB contacts as well, I linked them from the phone app (I clicked Link in the Menu and chose their respective contacts). Okay, so in the list, I see the name of my Phone contact and at the same time if I click on their names I see email and FB info as well (the FB profile pic shows! neat!).
However, I found out that when I try to click on Edit it still let me choose which contact I will edit, in this case: Google or Phone - I thought I linked you 2 already, so it follows that if I add an info, like, another number then it (the Phone app) should assign it to the name as a whole, right? Apparently, the Link command in Phone app only makes you "see" one name in the list- but in other processes still treats your contacts separately. Okay good- at least I know now. But When I try to Delete the contact in Phone it also deletes the Google contact but Facebook contact remains. Does it really treat them separately or as one- basically the problem is that users need to know how the Phone app actually does it's process of syncing. Or at least wouldn't it make sense, for the system to ASK you which account you would want to delete the same way it asked which one you wanted to edit (as my experience did above)? Something like "Do you wanna delete: Google, Phone or ALL?" (I know Facebook is a bit complicated so it's ok if Facebook contact editing and deletion is not totally synced for now).

Since this morning I started to experience a strange issue. It seems like my gmail is synced only one way. I have Nexus 5 running Cyanogenmod 11 M3, Android 4.4.2.
If there is a new email sent to my gmail account, I get proper notification and I see the mail. I then go and delete that email (or mark it as read). My inbox does not have this email anymore. I refresh the mail, make sure everything is synced. Now if I open web gui of gmail on my computer, I still see that email there unread. If I go back to phone gmail, I don't see that email in my Inbox (or sometimes I do), but I can see it in priority mail box or under "all mail". It seems that whatever change I do on phone client is not properly synced back to server.
The same issue manifests also on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, running CM 10.2. It does not happen on my very old HTC Desire Z, running CM4.
I have not changed anything, it started to happen this morning. Any change done through computer web client is synced correctly.

Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong with this piece of code? Basically I want the app to download a .png file, display it to the user and also save it to the sd card for future reference. It seems to be all going fine until the while ((len = webstream.read(buffer)) > 0) part; as the debugger doesn't reach the breakpoint I've put in here, and I have a directory of empty .png files. I have the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission declared in my Manifest.......

I'm developing an image editor application for Android. I have a big problem: I haven't a mobile with Android. I found a person that helps me to test the application and I found many problems. The application works in the emulator perfectly but in the mobile the application constantly mistakenly ends. I want to print a log similar that the show in ddms in a file on the SDCard. I did it with a FileWriter but it isn't the same that I can see in ddms.
Is it possible to show the same output as ddms in a file?
If not possible I would like to get as much information as possible. The person who has the mobile don't have knowledge of programming and I have not got close.

I want my android application to create a .js file, which can then be read by my web view. I have read that the "assets" file is ready only so I cannot save a file to there during runtime. I am saving it in the default "/files/" directory.
I want to be able to reference this file from my webview HTML file. The webview is showing local html files stored in the assets folder. What is the file directory I should use to reference this the .js file in the .html file?
