When a user clicks the "about" button in my app's menu I want it to open the browser and go to a specific webpage. Is there like a one - liner out there somewhere to do this? Seems simple but Google is not being helpful right now - or I'm just searching the wrong thing.

Visiting www.google.com on the Android browser (or even with an android spoofed user-agent), presents the option to "Share Location". When clicked, it uses the GPS/Cell phone towers to figure out the location. I tried the google.loader.clientLocation but that only works using the IP address. Is there a method to tap into the Android OS and access GPS data from a regular web application (and not an Android application) similar to the way Google does? [Perhaps Google uses the Google Gears app on Android to access this data.]

Since all I need is the users location, I am trying to figure out if there is anyway I can bypass developing a native app and use some nifty html5 call to just get the users location so all a user would need to do is visit my webpage and provide permission to access his/her location?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to make the browser or any browser to be able to double click a web page. My work website requires double click but double tapping obviously changes the focus in android. Yes, the work website is a joke but that's besides the point.
Someone was able to write a program for iphone to do this but they won't for android. They are fanbois so no dice.
Is there a browser which is able to view source-code of a webpage?

I am trying to get a quite simple openGL ES 1 program run a smooth solid 60fps on a couple devices out there, and I get stuck on HTC desire. The phone itself is quick, snappy, powerful, and overall a breeze to use ; however, I can't seem to display anything fullscreen at 60fps with OpenGL. After getting stuck for a long time with my app, I decided to make a test app with code right out the sample code from the documentation.Here is what I am doing. Simple initialization code with GLSurfaceView. I have three versions of onDrawFrame, all dead simple. One is empty. One contains only glClear. One contains just enough state to only draw a fullscreen quad. Trace times before, and after. There is no view other than my GLSurfaceView in my program. I can't explain the times I get.In all cases, the onDrawFrame function itself always finishes under 2ms. But very often, onDrawFrame does not get called again before 30~40ms, dropping my frame rate all the way to 30fps or less. I get around 50fps with an empty onDrawFrame, 45 with glClear and 35 with a quad.
The same code runs at 60 fps on the HTC Magic, on the Samsung Galaxy S, on the Sharp ISO1. Sony Experia X10 caps at a solid 30fps because of its screen. I have been doing much more complicated scenes at a solid 60fps on the HTC Magic which is very underpowered compared to the Desire. I don't have a Nexus One in handy to test. Sure, I except buffer swapping to block for a couple milliseconds. But it just jumps over frames all the time.
Trying to find out what the phone is doing outside of the onDrawFrame handler, I tried to use Debug.startMethodTracing. There is no way I can get the trace to reflect the actual time the phone spends out of the loop. At the end of onDrawFrame, I use startMethodTracing then save the current time (SystemClock.uptimeMillis) in a variable. At the start of the next one I Log.e the time difference since the function last exited, and stopMethodTracing. This will get called over and over so I arrange for stopping once I get a trace for an iteration with a 40+ ms pause. The time scale on the resulting trace is under 2ms time, as if the system was spending 38ms outside of my program, I tried a lot of things. Enumerating EGL configs and try them all one after the other. Just to see if it changed anything, I switched to a render when dirty scheme requesting a redraw at each frame. To no avail. Whatever I do, the expected gap of 14~16ms to swap buffers will take 30+ms around half the time, and no matter what I do it seems like the device is waiting for two screen refreshes. ps on the device shows my application at around 10% cPU, and System_server at 35%. Of course I also tried the obvious, killing other processes, rebooting the device... I always get the same exact result.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using openContextMenu() when someone clicks on an item of a list (not when they long press as usual). The context menu does appear, however, it shows the context menu for the last item that the context menu had appeared. For example, if I long press the item C of the list then the context menu for item C appears, and later if I click on item B, with openContextMenu() the context menu for item C will again appear, not for B that I was expecting. How can I set the current item for which the context menu will appear to be the item of the list the user clicks on? I do have the position from onListItemClick() and I was trying to find a call like setContextMenuItem() or something, but I can't find anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out if I can use NFC tags to open specific documents. I do repair on computers, and would like to start keeping my repair notes digitally, but want a simple way to open the correct notes for a device, and am thinking NFC tags could be a great way to do it. Walk up to a device, scan the tag, and have the correct repair notes open to start editing.
I'm having trouble finding specific information on the forum or in a general internet search.
I want to know how to do this, I've been fiddling with Tasker and Unified Remote but can't get it to work.
Basically, I've got an NFC tag outside my apartment, when I step in, I tag it, and that triggers a tasker profile which does a few tasks:
1) Switch off data
2) Switch on Wifi (and connect to home wifi)
3) Launch Airdroid on phone
4) Launch Chrome on PC and open Airdroid url (this doesn't work!)
5) Launch Foobar2000 on PC (this works)
6) Launch Foobar2000 android controller.
Everything works, except for launching the address in chrome. I can launch chrome just fine, but the url I've set doesn't open. How do I do this?
This may be a stupid question, but how do I open a CSV (comma-separated values) file as a spreadsheet on my Evo? Quick Office can open an Excel file (.xls) but not CSV. ES File Explorer can open the file as text but not a spreadsheet.

Is there a way to look at specific days in the browsers history, possibly by connecting to my PC?
My bill lists two huge and expensive downloads and I am sceptical about them. I'd like to see what pages I may have browsed on those specific dates (about 2 months ago). The browser history is broken down into Last 5 days, Last month, and More than a month ago which isn't much help.
Or is there some kind of generic GPRS history I can access on the phone to see what connections were made at the time?
I have a button in my app. When it is pressed I call the onSearchRequested() method. When this is called the stock search box comes up so the user can type some junk in there. When they press "Go" I need the results returned back to my application but instead the stock browser is opened and a google search is performed. How can I tell it to return the results to my application instead.
