I am interested in forward locking a downloaded file (an image, or a ringtone, etc). Is there any way to do this? As far as I can tell packages can be forward locked, but their resources remain public, is there a way to forward lock a specific file I've downloaded to the Android?

What is the best way to share a file between two "writer" services in the same application. I have a Service that saves entries into a buffer. When the buffer gets full it writes all the entries to the file (and so on). Another Service running will come at some point and read the file (essentially copy/compress it) and then empty it.

All I need is the following:
1. Stop anyone/anything from Editing, Moving, or deleting the file
2. Password needed to View the file
I would like my app to pop up in the list of options for opening certain file types in the various file manager, email, and web browser apps. I'm having trouble figuring out how to begin. I haven't found any examples of this sort of thing yet. Don't I need to know what kind of action the other app is trying to invoke on a selected file? How can I possibly know that? Or should I simply assume that all file manager, email, and browser apps will always use ACTION_VIEW or perhaps ACTION_EDIT when trying to send a file to another app? Must I simply assume this and hope I'm right? There are so many possible apps to try to get this to work with, how do I make it receive a "open-file" command from any arbitrary app? Is the code below correct so far? I have the following in the manifest:
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:exported="true" android:label="Some Label, where does this show up?" android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver" >
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_EDIT" />
</intent-filter> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_VIEW" /> </intent-filter> </receiver>
I don't see how to specify a file-type or file extension filter in the receiver. How do I do this? Likewise I have the following in the receiver:
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.ACTION_EDIT")
|| intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.ACTION_VIEW")) {
Uri uri = intent.getData(); String uriStr = intent.getDataString();
} } }
Is the android:id="@+id/somevalue" specific to the xml file in which it is defined, or the whole android project? If it is project-wide, it seems like I have a lot of id's to come up for text fields. For example I have to name my "title" field like "title1" and "title2" etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've done 30 minutes of searching on the site, read a bunch of threads about file management, SMS/handcent and I still don't have an answer to this: Where in god's name is handcent storing files that were sent via SMS?
I clicked "download" in handcent and received confirmation that the image downloaded. Already have a file manager installed, have browsed pretty much every directory on the phone and the sd card looking for the file, to no avail.
I have an application that will record and play audio files. Some of the audio files are downloaded using simple standard http downloads using httpclient. It worked like a charm for a long time. Now all of a sudden I cannot play the files I download. It fails with this stack. I store the files on the SD Card and I experience the problem both on a handset and a USB connected device. I have checked that the downloaded file is cool on the server, and I can play it without any issues. These are the code snippets I use ( I know that recordingFile is a valid path for the file).
// inside the activity class
private void playRecording() throws IOException{
File recordingFile = new File(recordingFileName);
FileInputStream recordingInputStream = new FileInputStream(recordingFile);
audioMediaPlayer.playAudio(recordingInputStream);
}
Here is the media player code:
// inside my media player class which handles the recordings
public void playAudio(FileInputStream audioInputStream) throws IOException {
mediaPlayer.reset();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(audioInputStream.getFD());
mediaPlayer.prepare(); mediaPlayer.start();
}
Here is the exception:
E/MediaPlayerService( 555): offset error
E/MediaPlayer( 786): Unable to to create media player
W/System.err( 786): java.io.IOException: setDataSourceFD failed.: status=0x80000000

W/System.err( 786): at net.xxx.xxx.Downloads$1.onClick(Downloads.java:135)
I have tried seeking some answer of the offset error, but not really clear what this issue might be. I download the file with this code:
public FileOutputStream executeHttpGet(FileOutputStream fileOutputStream) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{
try { // Execute HTTP Post Request
httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
int status = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
// we assume that the response body contains the error message
if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
ByteArrayOutputStream ostream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
httpResponse.getEntity().writeTo(ostream); fileOutputStream = null;
} else { InputStream content = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; int len = 0;
while ( (len = content.read(buffer)) > 0 ) {
fileOutputStream.write(buffer,0, len);
} fileOutputStream.close();
content.close(); // this will also close the connection }
} catch (ClientProtocolException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace();
fileOutputStream = null; } catch (IOException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e2.printStackTrace();
fileOutputStream = null;
} return fileOutputStream;
}

I have created a Black and Pink Glass theme for Go launcher that installs and loads fine. When I upload the theme to the android market and then its downloaded from the market and installed it installs as a .zip file instead of an .apk file. I have several other themes that are working fine. I have tried rebuilding it from scratch and the issue is still there. I have attached the android manifest.xml for reference.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried to assign custom ringtones for few people. I did go to People -> click contact name that I want to change -> under Information tap, click Ringtone -> change ringtone -> After I pick custom ringtone -> Click OK button. Simple and Easy. But, when I test with another phone that I already assign ringtone, it doesn't work!
I thought that it didn't save it, but it was still pointing my custom ringtone. Well, second thought that my custom ringtone might be working, so I go to Setting -> Personalize -> change default ringtone for same MP3 file. it works! However, I couldn't make it for specific contact. Is there any thing that I did it wrong or should I turn on or off something?
I'm looking for an app that enables one to schedule recurring downloads of specific files at specific times for my Xperia Arc. It's for my morning newspaper, which is in PDF-format.
Earlier with my ZTE Blade i used Samba Filesharing, mounted the phone on my computer and put the file on the phone each morning using cron from my computer (Running Fedora). But this is not an option any more, at least not at the moment, because I have not managed to root my Xperia Arc (unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com is down for "maintenance"), and Samba Filesharing requires root.
So, basically all i need is an app that at given times each day can download a specific file (always the same name) and overwrite the old file with the new without any interaction.
Is there any app available that can do this?
I have backed up my data with the Clockwordmod because I wanted to install a new Android version, because it hasn't booted anymore.
Now everything works fine, but when I recover my data backup, it hangs up again. With unyaffs I extracted all content, and now I want to recover just specific .asec files, that means just for specific Apps I need the data of.
when i try and download odin downloader it is saved and when i go to open it it says that "windows can not open this file" then it gives 2 options of use web service to find correct program and select a program from a list of installed programs. The file is downloaded as a .rar file if it matters. This also happens when i try to download the newest kernel.

Ok from Velocity 0.2 with Clockworkmod and V9 SW version I flashed the stock V6 Rom, then flashed stock recovery. got ota updates to V8 and then ZVB without any errors. SW Version on phone read VS740ZVB. I then rerouted, applied Clockworkmod recovery and installed Velocity 0.2 and then the GNMTurbo4 kernel. SW Version on phone reads VS740ZVB. Then another OTA update showed up. It claimed to be 24.9MB just like the ZVB update. Of course it would not install because I was using custom recovery.
My question is, what is this update? Is it the ZVB update coming through again? Did my ZVB update not apply correctly or is it not recognized by Verizon since I'm using custom recovery and rom? Is there a new update that I'm missing out on, and if so, what is it, and do I need to apply it?
Lots of questions, I know.Just wondering what exactly is going on and do I need to do anything about it? Is there any way to pull info on this update from the downloaded file, and if so, where can I find the file and how do I get info from it?
So I downloaded the unroot file, installed it onto the SD card (formatted by the phone), and when I load Hboot it finds no update. It just brings up the normal menu (fastboot, clear storage, simlock, etc.).
