When I'm reading my Gmail with the HTC EVO and I go to "Change Labels. My label list only shows 15 or so characters. Since I have nested labels (Google IMAP enabled) that is not nearly enough and it is impossible to read the last part of my Label. Which makes it hard to assign labels. Is there any way while changing a label to see more of the label name?

you would think that google would have had an amazing gmail app on their android os. Gmail app isn't even as good as their web version! Long emails have sections truncated with... at the end and I can't see attachment pictures even after clicking show pictures

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a zillion labels. Only way to manage the old digital life Any who, it's a PITA going into GMail and scrolling through the astronomical list of labels to see what's in there. Needless to say, some labels are, to me, more important than others. With that in mind, what I'd like to know is how I can create a shortcut on the desktop that will go directly to a specific label in GMail. It's gotta be possible.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat exactly does the gmail option "Labels: select wich labels are snycronised" do? Does it mean if I had a label set up and told it to go directly to that label and skip the inbox that i would still get an alert on my phone? The reason i am asking is because before i got this phone, i had a label in my gmail called "craigslist". Everything dealing with craigslist went into this and skipped the inbox. Thats worked well but i still need to be alerted when i get a new offer from craigslist. Will that snyc label option do what i want it to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI thought I had read something about this before, but now I can't put my finger on it. Is the initial synch between Gmail contacts and Facebook using e-mail addresses or contact names? In other words, if I'm using only first names for some contacts will it find their Facebook profiles or will I have to change the contact names to full names? My Incredible is arriving today (can't wait) and just want to know if I need to update my contacts.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a JSON response from our server and the response string seems is always being truncated when the string length reaches to around 5525 characters.I also tried this by using HttpEntity and reading the response stream. But that also truncates the string at approximately that length. I tested the link in my browser and it does return the complete JSON. So I am sure the issue is with my code in android.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my Hero I have synchronised people's details to the 'People' application from my desktop Outlook using both the HTC sync and Companionlink. But either way, I just seem to get a truncated version of their physical addresses under the 'Find Home' field. When I hit that, I get a map I'm not looking for, and sometimes the full address, sometimes not. I can't see any other way of accessing the full address on the Hero - what am I missing?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen viewing an individual contact in People (Contacts, Address Book equiv.) the single address field contains the street, city, state and zip. (The Google Contacts, which is the source for the 'People' is also a single field for street, city ,state, zip.) The latter part of the field (zip, state and sometimes city), does not show up without clicking on the address, loading the map (with GPS running) and then clicking on the address balloon in the map.Is there an easier way that I should be doing this to read the entire address for a contact?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAny one can share the mainfest.xml. How to set it? then can remove the label..?
I want to give my application launcher icon (the one that is displayed on the startscreen!) a different, shorter caption. It seems the launcher takes its label from the mainfest section about the main activity's label, as here:
<activity android:name="MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_short_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
I already changed the original reference to my app's name @string/app_name to a different, shorter string resource here. BUT - big BUT: this also of course changes this activity's default title! And I did not want that to happen, there's enough space for a long application name! Setting the long title again in onCreate using the setTitle(int) method does no good either, because the short name will be visible to the user for a short time, but long enough to notice!
And - please don't answer my question by refering to a custom titlebar... I do not want to go that long way, just because of a stupid string title! It's a pain to draw a custom title bar for so little effect! Is there no easy way to just give the launcher a different string to display?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need 2 ways of showing vertical label in Android:
Horizontal label turned 90 degrees counterclockwise (letters on the side)

I have an Android app with 3 tabs in a TabHost (text labels, no images). I set up the tabs like so:
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, AnnouncementsActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("news").setIndicator("News").setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
I start up a background thread to fetch announcements from my server and I want to update the text label on the tab to tell the user how many new announcements there are. For example, I want to change the text on the Tab to "News (3)". How can I access and change the text label on the tab?
Is it possible to add a little bit of space between a RadioButton and the label while still using Android's built-in components? By default the text looks a little scrunched.
<RadioButton android:id="@+id/rb1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My Text"/>
I've tried a couple of things:
Specifying margin and padding seem to add space around the entire element (button and text, together). That makes sense, but doesn't do what I need.
Creating a custom drawable via XML specifying images for the checked and unchecked states, then adding a few extra pixels to the right side of each image. This should work, but now you are stepping outside the default UI. (Not the end of the world, but not ideal)
Add extra whitespace to the beginning of each label. Android seems to trim a leading space character, as in " My String", but specifying unicode U+00A0, as in "u00A0My String" does the trick. This works, but it seems kinda dirty.
Any better solutions?
When we create a new activity, in the Android.manifest file, we can set some text for the activity's label. It looks like:

Is there anyway to access that programatically and change it during runtime? Regards Dileep

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen changing the custom locale the label of the phone types change to the appropriate language. Does anybody know how to get the localized label of the phone types?
I pick a contact in my app to get its phone number and if there is more then one number I use an AlertDialog to let the user select the currect one. In this pick list, I want to show the label of the type, so it's easier for the user to select. Since they labels are somewhere in the Android system, it must be possible to get the localized label. Unfortunately, the Phone.LABEL is null when reading the phone number.
I am having a bear of a time figuring out what colums exist for email contact methods. Specifically, I want to find out the "home", "work" or "other" of an email address. I have tried looking for it under integer "TYPE" (illegal column), and under Strings "LABEL" (illegal column) and "NAME" (this works, but it is the owner/person's name, not the name of the email address). Is there a place where these schemas (as they are actually used) is documented well? the Javadocs seem to mislead me................
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a custom title bar that I would like to apply to all my activities. I have searched online and found a few ways of doing that however I have ran into a problem. It seems that despite the fact I have a TextView in my titlebar with id @android:/title, Android will not use the value defined in the manifest in android:label for each activity.
I tried also calling setTitle(R.string.myTitle) but it still will not render it! If I manually put some text in my TextView in the xml it shows up fine. How can I have a custom title bar that is linked and makes Android use my manifest values for labels? I do not want to lose the setTitle() or the XML attributes functionality.
