Using Eclipse 3.5.2, SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 2 In Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> Add Account I do not have the option to add anything but an Exchange Account in the emulator. I should be able to add a gmail account. Am I being stupid or is there a problem with the emulator?

I noticed the docs mentioned that some Intent protocols are not defined to return a result, is this one such example? are there any flags that I could set to either make the settings activity call onActivityResult, or even better make my activity block until the launched activity returns?

I'm looking for an app that backs up the "Accounts & Sync" settings for all my accounts, before flashing a new rom. I tried "MyBackup" from the market and it backed up my Sensation quite nicely, but it doesn't restore the accounts and setting up everything again was difficult.
Any app that does a backup that includes a backup of the "Accounts & Sync" settings?
I'm trying from main Activity (MainFile.java) to open a Map as a new intent through a menu. Something like this...

I'm trying to have my app display my login activity when a user selects add account in accounts&sync or wants to use the app and isn't logged in yet. I've followed the example SampleSyncAdapter fairly closely, but can't get it to work.

In my main activity:

I've tried doing both

And

Before the startActivity() call, but it still can't find an activity for that intent. If I try to add an account via accounts&sync the app crashes with the same ActivityNotFoundException.
I've examined c99's last.fm app, which defines a custom action and uses intents based on that action rather than android.accounts.AccountManager.ACTION_AUTHENTICATOR_INTENT. Is that a better approach? Is there a way to make it work with Accounts & Sync?
The first activity in my app needs to load a small amount of data from a text file. Two strings and an integer. Once I load the data, I want to use one of the strings to create an intent, that will launch the next activity.

I have 3 emails: Gmail working OK. Yahoo working OK (using K-9) and there is work account. I can receive emails OK but cannot send any out. Because I cannot use work SMTP server I went and enter my smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com port 587 require sign in. There are lots of errors: from push error: null / relay access denied / imap server is not idle capable... Can I have same SMTP under two accounts?
My app works with pictures. It can take multiple pictures as an input, process them, and send them again to another app.
As a consequence, my main Activity has declared an intent filter on ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE for image/* mimetypes and can result in issuing a new Intent with the same action and data type using Activity.startActivity(Intent).
Is there a way to exclude my own activity from the list of apps that is displayed to the user after the startActivity() call ?

I need to know how I can create an Intent to open MyTracks or any other application that I don't know what intents they listen to.
I got this info from DDMS, but I havn't been succesful in turning this to an Intent I can use. This is taken from when opening MyTracks manually.
Forgive me if this is a topic that has already been discussed, but I've searched for hours and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I'm trying to cut my teeth on Android programming with a simple file manager app and currently have most all functions working, but I can't seem to open a selected file with the appropriate app.
Here is my current code:
CODE:..................
Im writing a program that offers a quick reply dialog upon receipt of an SMS.
However, I am getting an unexpected result. When I receieve an SMS, the appropriate dialog activity comes up displaying the correct phone number and message, however there is a second activity behind it that is the 'default' activity in my program (it is what opens when i launch my application)
I do not want this second activity to come up. The quick reply activity should come up by itself over top of whatever the user was doing before.
The 'floating' activity:
CODE:.........
The call to the activity inside an onReceive()
CODE:..............
The Manifest:

I know ime developer can create his own setting activity which will be displayed in Settings apk. I wonder whether there is a common way to interate any settings activity into Settings apk.

I don't want to store said file on the sdcard in this case. The file also cannot be storage directly in the apps local files directory. It needs to be in a subdirectory, so it cannot write the file using openFileOutput() and MODE_WORLD_READABLE.
The app may download files small files like pdfs and store them locally in a subdirectory. I would like to be able to have the user open these files if they have an app that can open them.
For example here is an intent for sending a pdf:
CODE:..............
path being something like: /data/data/packagename/files/subdir/example.pdf
That intent will open a pdf viewer, but the viewer is unable to open the file. I assume this is a permissions issue. I tried Mark Murphy's suggestion here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4e55d869213483a9/b7270078ac1a2744?lnk=raot of using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod 755 " + fileName); but it didn't make any difference. He also suggested a Content Provider but I would like to avoid it if I can because it seems like a lot just to get this file over to another app.
If the content provider is the only option, do I have to save the file to the content provider or can I just use the content provider as a pass through to get it to the other app when I need to?
Does anyone know of an intent I can use to open a raw mp4 resource in the phone's video player?
I tried this code:

I have a listview that when you click on an item it will take you to a WebView that displays some static formatted text associated with that list entry.
I had it all working with a TextView but I wanted to be able to use HTML formatting for the text and figured the WebView was the way to go. Right now it is just supposed to display a generic link for testing purposes but when the viewContent intent starts it just goes to a black screen. I can go back and pick another entry and it also just shows the black screen.
I'm not sure what code you are going to want to see so here's the viewSection class file and the viewsection.xml layout.
viewSection.java:
CODE:..............
viewsection.xml:
CODE:..................
I have a layout with a TextView and a List, and in onCreate() I have the TextView request focus. On the G1 and emulator the screen comes up with the TextView having focus, and the on-screen keyboard will display when you tap on the TextView, but on the Galaxy apparently the on-screen keyboard is always displayed. Does anyone know why this would be so? And why would a phone without a keyboard act differently from a phone with a keyboard that's hidden--shouldn't they follow the same logic?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my application, I allow the user to have a button that launch the application of his choice. I get no problem to make a list of all installed apps, get the Intent and launch the choosen app.
But I would like to save the corresponding intent in the settings for the next time the user use my application, but settings only allow me to save basic data type ( Integer, boolean, Strings, etc. )
So, my question is how to save an intent in a smart way.
I have one gmail (personal) account, and one google account (for work, not email, just google services account).My main account is my gmail one on android and it's fine.But I would also like to see my work contacts and calendar.I added it to my "accounts & sync settings" but it always said "Sync is OFF", no way to turn it on for this account.Just to make it clear, my work account is NOT a gmail account, I use my work email address as a log-in for all other google services (mainly calendar and contacts)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to find out how to create an intent that will open the user's preferred browser without specifying the URL. I know how to open it by giving a specific URL like this:Intent intent = new Intent();intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData (android.net.Uri.parse ("http://www.google.com")) ;context.startActivity (intent);I don't want to open the browser to any page in particular, just the set homepage or whatever page the user was on last. I've thought about looking up the homepage set within the app but you can't do it with the default Browser app because it is private. Does anybody know of a way to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having difficulties handling multiple instances of my root (main) activity for my application. My app in question has an intent filter in place to launch my application when opening an email attatchment from the "Email" app. My problem is if I launch my application first through the the android applications screen and then launch my application via opening the Email attachment it creates two instances of my root activity. steps: Launch root activity A, press home Open email attachment, intent filter triggers launches root activity A Is it possible when opening the Email attachment that when the OS tries to launch my application it detects there is already an instance of it running and use that or remove/clear that instance?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen a TabWidget is using intents to designate the target Activity for each tab, is there any special handling of those Activities on the Activity Stack outside of the default operation? For Instance, if my app has tabs A, B, and C, and I click them in this order--A, B, A, C, A, B--how will the Activity stack change? My understanding of the default operation, if startActivity() is called each time on the intent, would have the Stack keep loading up new instances of the activities: A, AB, ABA, ABAC, ABACA, ABACAB It's hard to believe that's how it works though... Seems like it would be a waste of resources and could be endless. Can anyone tell me how this will actually work?
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if there's a way to set the sync interval on accounts via sync adapter in pre-froyo? They've added the API to do so in 2.2 but I'm curious to know if there is a workaround in 2.0-2.1. (My backup plan is the alarm manager) What's odd is there doesn't even seem to be any preset interval either .so accounts are never synced!
