View 1 RepliesI have some questions related to Android's home-screen contents:
1) Is there a way to programmatically delete a home-screen shortcut on Android? I know that it can be done manually but I want to do it in code.
2) Is there a directory where all the contents of the home-screen are stored and, if there is, is there a way to update the contents of this directory?
I've a widget which i would like to delete programmatically if the user gives the command by clicking on some button or so.. But as per my knowledge the app programme and the widget programme will be running in different processes. So how is it possible to get the controll of another process remote view and delete the same clearing all the db contents related to the widget?

I don't really care about killing the activity stack, I just want to have the same effect as pressing the Home button. So that application state is saved and can be returned to. But this doesn't accomplish anything, the PhoneWindowManager does not get the key press.I assume I need to launch an Intent with the right info, but I haven't been able to figure out how that would be done.

For example, when we have a Force Close, the home screen restart and reload all its components.
I need my activity to handle HOME button press with a receiver programmatically, but the event is not firing. I can,however, successfully register and capture this intent filter if I declare it in a manifest.xml activity section.Does anyone know why this doesn't capture the home button click?By the way, I tried working around this by creating another activity and specifying its intent filter in the manifest. I set the activity enabled="false" in the manifest but I couldn't figure out how to enable that activity at run time. Bottom line, I only want to register the home button intent filter for my application only when my application is running, and I can't figure out how to do that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I am using any app and press the home button, the home screen blacks out for a few secs and it takes around 10 sec to get all the icons back and before I can start using my phone again. I am using a non rooted mytouch 3g.
This problem does not happen if I exit an app by pressing the back button. It becomes very annoying at times.
About custom Power Management... Is it allow for my app to dim the screen programmatically??, the goal would be to send the phone sleeping when a Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED event is handled by a BroadcastReceiver, just like its done automatically by the OS (if so configured) after x time of inactivity.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am designing a home screen widget. I ran this widget on a HTC Hero device, which has a screen of 320 pixels * 480 pixels with mdpi. It ran perfect on HTC Hero. The widget takes 3 cells * 2 cells space, i.e. 240 pixels * 200 pixels.Then I ran this widget on a Nexus One device, which has a screen of 480 pixels * 800 pixels, mdpi. Since Nexus One also is mdpi, so I though 240dip is equivalent to 240 pixels on Nexus One and 200dip is equivalent to 200 pixels on Nexus One, so the widget will not take 3 cells * 2 cells space on Nexus One device. To my surprise, when running on Nexus One device, the widget take exact 3 cells * 2 cells, about 360 pixels * 300 pixels, on Nexus One device.I am confused. The layout xml above specifies 240dip in width and 200dip in height for the widget, but why did it take 360 pixels * 300 pixels on Nexus One Device? What am I missing?

I am working on a remote automated test framework for Android based on JUnit (tests run outside android, interacting with code inside it). It's all working fairly well, but one issue I have is that when I automatically start a fresh emulator, the screen starts out locked. This appears to affect my tests being able to run, plus, I want to watch the tests run (buttons clicked, text typed, etc.). If I manually start an emulator and unlock its screen, all works well.
Is there a way to programmatically unlock the screen in Android? A Java API, a command line or shell command, etc. would all be fine. Barring that, perhaps there is a way to start an emulator unlocked?
As we know that Android phone gets locked after screen timeout. But I want to lock the phone on demand as well. i.e. without waiting for screen timeout to occur.. As in nexus android phone there is hard button on top for making screen turn off and lock the phone. i have to do same functionality but by using soft key i.e. in a programmatic way. What are the APIs or routines that can help me ? Can someone point me for getting this functionality?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an app which displays a large amount of text for the user to read. I've found that when reading while lying down, I get annoyed that the screen rotates even though my head and the screen are aligned. I do not want to set this to be permanently in portrait mode, so I think this would preclude an approach of setting the android:screenOrientation="portrait" in the manifest. Ideally, I would like to enable/disable automatic orientation changes via a preference page.
View 1 Replies View RelatedToday I am looking for a way to mimic the behavior I know from my HTC Hero's lock screen: the calendar and alarm clock can put text & drawables there to inform about an upcoming event or an expired alarm. The lock screen remains there in that it must be dragged down to dismiss the shown event and there might also be a Snooze button.
But, first question: is this default Android stuff or HTC Sense specific only??
Second question: If it is a common Android thing, why can't I find anything in Google's Android documentation for the topics "lockscreen" or "lock screen" that comes close to my question? Where's the API for it?
My problem is: I want to inform the user immediately - even if I try a standard notification, the user with a locked screen will have to unlock it and drag down the notifications list to see & clear what's going on. sigh Putting an endlessly playing notification sound there is a hassle as it takes at least two swipes down to stop the sound playing!
Two things I'd like to be able to do with my incredible.First is reduce the number of homescreens. Seven is really pointless for me, it makes finding the right screen take a little longer and there's just not enough good quality widgets that I need to use. I could do better with 5 and possibly just 3.Second is that when I'm not on a homescreen and I hit the home button, I'd like it to go back to the LAST homescreen I was on, not the center one. And if I'm already on a homescreen, once again pull up the homescreen select menu, instead of going to the center homescreen. It's a waste of a button press to always go to that center screen when pressing the home button.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is more of an annoyance, but whenever I reply to a message off the home screen widget, it automatically defaults to the home number for that contact, instead of replying to the same (cell) number that it was sent from. If I go into the messaging app, it works as it should (replies to the same number).
