Android :: GPS Provider For Phone
Jul 2, 2010
I'm developing an android application that involves the detection of the users' location. What I would like to know is, how does this -> LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER work?Does it uses the GPS system in the phone or does it uses the mobile company's area network location?Whenever I turn on the GPS system in my phone, the map would not load. It will only be able to detect & pinpoint the location when I deactivate it. I think the application is tapping into the GPRS or something.

Is there a way to build a VPN 'provider' for Android? A way to add new VPN types to the existing VPN infrastructure? OpenVPN, for instance, though also things like pppoe might fit in this category.

I am having a hard time understanding content providers. In the notepad example and others, the content provider never even declares its CONTENT_URI anywhere inside itself, yet the docs say to publicly declare this. It's declared in a different class. So when an activity queries a content provider with a CONTENT_URI, how does Android know which one I want. I see no link between a content provider and its CONTENT_URI declared in another class.
I also don't how to think about intents and content providers. I know that you don't call an intent on a content provider. But an activity queries a content provider without an intent, and an activity has a mimetype attribute in the manifest that would seem to tie it to a content provider.

When I buy the Evo at Best Buy (pre-ordered), will they activate it in-store, or must I call Sprint and wait while they do something? I am already a Sprint customer and merely upgrading my line.

Is there any downside to unlocking an HTC Desire to go with a different provider? In my province Telus offers the Desire, but I might want to go with an alternative carrier. So in theory I buy a phone, pay the $15-$20 and have it unlocked. Then take it to the alternative provider and they sign me up

I'm new to these forums as I'm very new to using an HTC Desire Android phone. As a previous iPhone owner I was a little nervous to port over but, I've been extremely pleased with my new android handset and OS. However one thing has been driving me crazy. The other day i decided to ring my voice mail and found that I had 3 missed voice mails. No where on the home screen of my phone or settings screens or anywhere else I looked on my phone was I notified of my Voice Mails. I rely quite heavily on accessing my Voice mails as the building I work in has terrible reception. In the past using my iPhone I could enter an area of the building that had better reception and the notification would arrive. I need this functionality, especially as at the moment I'm trying to get a new job, I'd be a little upset if I were to miss a golden opportunity due to no voice mail notification. I tried a few tests with my handset to make sure I wasn't loosing the plot and sure enough I do not receive any notification for my missed calls or as I mentioned earlier no reception problem straight to voice mail. The idea of having to phone 901 every time i need to check my voice mails seems a little absurd, this is 2010 surely as it is primarily first and foremost a phone I would suspect that you would be able to have this functionality. I've searched the net and there's not much talk on how to fix this problem. Sure there's talk on use an App but I'd like that as my last resort really.
This may or may not have been mentioned on these forums, I have done a search before hand and results were blank so I apologies if this has been covered. Please Please Please any one here with infinite wisdom on this matter would be a breath of fresh air.

I am currently researching the android. As I travel to Europe quite often and live in the NYC area, I am hoping to get an unlocked android that I can use in Switzerland, Italy and the US.I would mostly be using the android for google search, browsing websites, google maps, chat and email and yahoo instant messenger but not facebook or any such sites.I am curious which android members of the forum would suggest and which carrier (at least in the US).

I'd like to be able to read the system's SMS content provider. Basically I wanted to make an SMS messaging app, but it would only be useful if I could see past threads etc.It seems like there's a content provider for this, but I can't find documentation for it - anyone know where that is?

my android application is handling a large database of bus passage time and we would like to allow others application to be able to display certains bus passage time. We would like to use a content provider to do that. Most example seems to be about using an SQL database, but we use some custom text file. I was wondering what would be the best way to do that. I was thinking I could use a Content Provider and implement the Cursor interface on a custom object that I would manually fill with my text data. Would this be possible ? Anyone have a better idea (excluding changing to SQL lite of course)?

I've created a home screen widget by extending the App Widget Provider. It works fine on all phones tested so far except Motorola's Droid 2 from Verizon. It's running Android 2.2. What I noticed is when my widget is first place onto a home screen it works for about +/- 15 seconds. Then I see the widget receives the action com.Motorola.blur.home.ACTION_WIDGET_ADDED and the widget stops responding? The buttons on the widget still show pressed or selected states but the widget code itself is no longer called?

I am creating a service client and the following lines give me error. I was wondering how to fix these... // I have put in the service client stuff below...
private CheckZone mBoundService; private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() { public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName CheckZone, IBinder service) { // This is called when the connection with the service has been // established, giving us the service object we can use to // interact with the service. Because we have bound to a explicit // service that we know is running in our own process, we can // cast its IBinder to a concrete class and directly access it. mBoundService = ((CheckZone.LocalBinder)service).getService();
//This line complians about binding, and states that it can not be resolved. How do I fix this please? Toast.makeText(binding.this, "Connected to CheckZone", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); }

As we know, Google has hidden some APIs on newer SDKs, some of providers (i.e. Telephony provider) are hidden, we can only seen in source code, but we cannot use on the current SDK. So I wonder how we can use these providers. I know we integrate our own firmware, however, I wonder if we can solver this problem on the current SDK, so that my app can run on all public android system.

I would like to know the exact difference between Content provider and SQLiteDatabase. If we have to share our data among applications then we use Content provider, otherwise SQLiteDatabase. Is this is the ONLY difference, OR using Content Provider has something to do with performence?

I am performing hundreds of calls to a single content provider to perform various insertions, updates and deletions. After profiling my application, I have noticed that the ContentResolver class takes approx. 30ms to retrieve the corresponding content provider object for each call. Is there anyway to retrieve a reference to the content provider rather then going through the ContentResolver every time?

I have written the following content provider, but when I try to pull information from it into an array,I presume its something to do with my naming of the CONTENT_URI or something? I'm not quite sure how it works so could anyone explain a bit and spot what I have done wrong?

The Content Provider starts when the first applicable URI is resolved. This will make the ContentProvider run forever and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it (such as due to inactivity etc).It would be nice if Content Provider would stop after some time so that the memory usage is reduced (An enclosing process, doesn't need to be alive if the Content Provider is not needed anymore).

I was wondering if anyone has any information on accessing the Gmail content provider. It doesn't seem to be officially supported in the API but it looks like people are able to do this regardless. See the SlideScreen app which notifies you of new e-mail and even shows you info (sender, title).It would be great to know how this is accomplished, for example we could create a home screen widget that shows you your last few e- mails, etc.
