View 1 RepliesHow do I get the device (G1, magic, i7500, etc) programmically, as well as the version of the android platform (1.0, 1.1, 1.5, etc)...
Especially how do I tell an ADP1 and a G1 appart on the device (programically!)...
In my app, I get the name of the person calling from the contacts database and read it out. A user contacted me about a number in the format 123-456-7890 which doesn't work. I've tested this myself and can't see why it wouldn't work. The full code I'm using is available here, but the relevant part is below: Code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've experienced two problems with Google Voice that are causing me to get charged minutes I wouldn't usually get charged. If I can't solve them, I'll have to go back to using my Verizon number. First, let me say that I'm using a new Google Voice number that isn't Verizon cell phone number or any other preexisting number. Second, my girlfriend is on my family plan, but she doesn't have GV yet. We're using the 700-minute plan, so we don't have a friends circle.
Problem 1: When I call my girlfriend's Verizon wireless phone using the GV on my Verizon phone, I get charged, and when she calls my GV number on my Verizon Wireless phone from her Verizon wireless phone, she gets charged. We don't cash in on our free in-network calling. I know, this should have been obvious, but it just never occurred to me until after I looked at the bill. I'd be able to work with that, though, and just select "Call without using Google Voice" or whatever when calling her if it weren't for the second problem. When people call my Google Voice number, I get charged when I don't answer. Usually, it's just a one-minute charge, but sometimes it's two or three minutes (don't know why). With anything less than an unlimited plan, minutes count. Not good.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Android I get the version of the SDK easily (Build.VERSION.SDK) but I need to use LabeledIntent only if the platform is newer than 1.6 (>Build.VERSION_CODES.DONUT) I suppose that Reflection is necessary (I have read this link but it is not clear for a class or to me). This is the code but it gives me an exception because in my Android 1.6, the compiler verifies if the package exists even if the condition is not applied:
Intent theIntent=....;
if(Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK) > Build.VERSION_CODES.DONUT)
{
try{
Intent intentChooser = Intent.createChooser(intent,"Choose between these programs");
Parcelable[] parcelable = new Parcelable[1];
parcelable[0] = new android.content.pm.LabeledIntent(theIntent, "", "Texto plano", 0);
intentChooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, parcelable);
activity.startActivity(intentChooser);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
activity.startActivity(theIntent);
}
} else
{
activity.startActivity(intentMedicamento);
}
We are using Hudson to automate our Android build. I need to incorporate the build number into the version string used in our app. Was wondering if anyone had an example of doing that before I (re?)invent that wheel. Obviously I need to replace a string value in one of our config files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wrote an app that, among other things, renders feed articles using WebView. Now I get error reports that seem to originate in WebView:
-- NewsRob Version: 1.7.0/170 -- Android Version: sdk=2, release=1.1, inc=128600 -- Thread State: RUNNABLE -- Stacktrace: java.lang.NullPointerException at android.webkit.CacheManager$1.run(CacheManager.java:391) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:935)
I've got another report with the same content, but a different incremental version of the sdk (126986). Probably one from the US and one from the UK. So now I would love to know why the code blows up and if there is anything I can do about it. And with the source files and line numbers I felt in good shape to so. If only I could match them to the public code repositories ;-(............................
Can I get current SDK version (like 1.0 or 1.5)in the program code?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI own a BB Playbook tablet for about a year now (bought it during the when it was about 200$ because I needed a 7'', the hardware was specs were nice at the time and the company promised Android app support). Regardless of the sanity of my decision the device saves me about 2 hours per day (I use it mainly to read pdf and build an xls database).
I've converted many apk to bar in order to sideload them to my device (not all of these work). Recently I tried Firefox on my Xperia mobile and was quite pleased with the ABP plugin So I tried to convert the apk but both the apk2bar and the Blackberry Graphical Aid Tool complain that the version number is too long...
How to shorten it? In what file is it located?
I've been having a major problem with my contacts list since moving my contacts from a Blackberry to a Motorola Droid.
Lots of my contacts have phone numbers under one name, separated by a "+" or a calling code. If the phone number is exactly the same, only one number shows up in the Droid's contact. I never get the choice to pick the numbers inside the contact. This is a big problem for people who travel and need the "+" to make international calls or have a calling code before the number when they travel.
I made a contact called test. I added the number 11111111111 under home, then I added +11111111111 under mobile, then I added 2211111111111 under work. When you look for the contact test you should only see the choice to call 11111111111. The other numbers under the contact never show up.
Is it possible at runtime to determine whether the platform is running cupcake or donut? Due to some variation in my app between the two versions I'd like to run different code based on the SDK version.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a simple line of code that would allow only loading the code if the OS version meets the requirements? Lets say I have my target OS as 2.2 but the min sdk is 3 for android 1.5 so even if i have some code in my project that isn't compatable with 1.5 it will still compile since the target OS is 2.2. Anyway, I want to ad a feature that requires code that's not in the 1.5 SDK and will cause a crash if it's loaded on a 1.5 phone. Is there a simple thing like this that I can do? So i dont have to make the entire app not available to 1.5 users?
if (Android OS == >2.1){
//Insert code here that requires 2.1 and up}
else{
//insert code that would appear is OS is <2.1}
My old development process allowed me to make any change in the java code and use eclipse's Run button to install the updated package to the emulator.
Now I get [2009-12-15 11:51:55 - Scoopful]Application already deployed. No need to reinstall. even though the code has changed.
I realize the manifest version Code is used to determine if the app has changed and it works fine if I bump up that number. This did not used to be necessary and it slows down development when I have to enter AndroidManifest and make a change with every deploy to the emulator. Is there a way around this?
