View 2 RepliesI'm on a new android project - just a simple one.
I have three "tabs" (activity1,2,3) with different tasks.
Anyways, how do I add these 3 activities do the AndroidManifest? code...
Is there any Manifest file for Android jar files ?
How to add <uses-permission> for code in jar files ? (say if jar included in BOOTCLASSPATH).
I'm trying to access "android:versionName" in another XML resource file. I tried to use @android/versionName and @android:versionName, but neither work. Can anyone help me out?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a CustomListActivity which I wish to expose two facets of the same data.
For example: I have a list of cars, and would like to list the set of colors, and the set of models. These would be filtered on mimetype from my ContentProvider:
org.acme.cars.cursor.dir/colors
org.acme.cars.cursor.dir/models
My CustomListActivity is quite involved, but general enough to be re-used, but:
the user should be able to swap between the two lists from a menu/button bar
the list is MAIN LAUNCHER intent.
the user's choice of facet (model or color) should be remembered
we should be able to call these activities via mimetype.
So, my question is:
Can I declare two activities in the AndroidManifest.xml, each one with the same class, parameterizing it, or do I need to use some switch from within the class?
Is it possible to view Androidmanifest.xml file?
I just changed the extension for apk file to zip. This zip file contains Androidmanifest.xml file. But I cant see the view the Androidmanifest.xml coding. Its fully encrypted.
How to view the Androidmanifest.xml file?
Is it possible to have an AndroidManifest.xml and or resource files in a Jar file and import that into a executable Android project?
My goal is to provide styles, resources, and services from a jar library that can be accessed from a main android project for my common tools.
This may seem like a stupid question but I need to be sure. I was wondering if it was possible to pro-grammatically change the Content Provider used when making a query given a Content URI. The reason being I need to know if it's possible to force the Calendar/Contacts applications to read from a different database via a different Content Provider temporarily while my application is running, so that I can reuse those applications to display my own data. Since the Content URI s are hard coded in each of these applications the only way it might be possible is if we could somehow temporarily change the Content Provider used for a given URI. I know this probably isn't possible, I just need to show it isn't. Could someone confirm this can't be done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've written a wrapper on top of Log.java that is provided by android. My Class will add some other application level features in Logs.
Now the things is that i want to check from the code whether "debuggable" is set to 'true' or 'false' in androidManifest.xml file.
Can i do that? If yes, how?
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.
how can i create a custom content provider like contact content provider? i know how to create custom content providers but i want to integarte to device such a way that it canbe accessed by all application installed in that device.

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?
View 6 Replies View Relatedmy 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)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedEverything is working fine, I can access the provider. The problem is that I want to create a demo version of my app and I want it to share the same content provider so when the user install the full version, the data is kept in sync. Also, it should be possible to install only the full or the demo version. Therefore, I have to include my content provider in both.Now, when I try to install both apps error message, obviously because both AndroidManifest declare the same content provider.Is there a way to tell in the Manifest that this content provider should be used only if it doesn't already exists ? Or another workaround ?A solution would be that the full version migrate the data from a demo content provider to the full version content provider, but I would rather avoid that.

It's working fine but i want to set some permissions in app1, so that if any other app wants to use that provider it must have to get this permissions(<uses- permissions) then only it should be able to use providers.

I am creating an Android Widget containg some contact info. I discovered that the getContentResolver()-method only exists in the Activity-class, and not in the AppWidgetProvider-class. How do I query content from a widget? Like so:
Cursor people = getContentResolver().query(SOME QUERY);
UPDATE:..............
The closest example of what i want to accomplish is the "Engadget" widget. It updates it's data from the internet every 5-10 minutes and "scrolls" to the stories every 5-7 seconds. I imagine it sets the 5 -10 minutes interval to the widget's provider to call the onUpdate without the inbuild limitations , something like that. AlarmManager alarms = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); alarms.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), updateRateSeconds * 1000, newPending);
Then the real issue.. to update the widgets content without calling onUpdate....................
1. How do i use the content provider defined to interact with an application. I mean the database defined is for use in the program only, then how can i use this content provider from another program.
2. Is there an example depicting using of content providers. How are the content providers accessed else where so tht he databases defined in it be created at run time.
