Android :: How To Access An Activites Menu Programatically
Aug 18, 2009
I'm writing unit tests in a class derived from ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2. I know I can access anything defined in the applications XML using findViewById(), but this application defines its Menu programmatically. I'm trying to access that menu so I can fire click() events to it in my tests the same way I'm doing with Button Views etc.
To illustrate, this works fine and shows I can control/test various Views:

I'm seeing a strange issue on a phone and I'm trying to come up with a way to troubleshoot it to find out more.
Is it possible to access the X-Mms-Content-Location attribute of a message from a MMS message programatically, using the Android SDK?
This is one example of the error that I am investigating. If I can access that attribute, then I may be able to code an app which repairs it so the message retrieval succeeds.

Is there a way to programatically gain access (in real time) to the timer value that appears in the phone dialer display when a call is originated (the timer information appears to only be available in the call log _after_ the call ends).

I am trying to maintain my session variables that I get back in a cookie from my website in my DefaultHttpClient by passing the client between activities. Simply put how can I pass this object between activities to maintain my session variables? Bundle.put... doesn't seem to support this object. If it does how does it work with DefaultHttpClient?

We are building an app for a device that will have a 1024x600 screen at API level 7, 160dpi (which, by the way, is going to be very popular very shortly with the Samsung Tab and other tablets coming on the market). When we start the emulator, the touch surface takes up the entire window, and we no longer see the emulator keyboard, hard buttons, or (most importantly) the menu button on the right. The emulator's window does not scale, so it is not simply a matter of making the emulator window larger, unfortunately.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get these very important buttons to appear in the emulator?

I made my app compatible with both pre and post 3.0. Before 3.0 most phones had menu buttons which led to settings or other menu options. Since 3.0+ the dev guide has depreciated the menu button so phones don't need it. ICS and JB don't use them.
So how do I let users access it? In Gingerbread a user can press the menu button and then select the "Settings" link. Everyone knows what I mean but I feel I need to explain it: here's the dev guide anyway.
So if one of my users is on a 3.0+ device how can I let them get access to the settings page? I don't want to use the Action Bar like the dev guide suggests. That's a huge UI change just for one settings page.
I mean it's just one page and changing my UI to add a settings imageview would change the overall layout of main.xml which at the moment is just how i want it.

I'm having crappy reception (like most people) with -100db reception so I was wondering if I might try hybrid prl to see if that helps. Can I make the change to hybrid or do I have call or go to a vzw store?
Also, how do I access the Inc's service menu?

I recently bought a Chinese Mediatek 'pbablet' phone/tablet combination; running Android 4.2.2 Model: MTK6572. Due to it being cheap, it was ideal so I thought, for flashing and development, however I maybe wrong.
However I cannot get it into recovery mode. It won't display the menu when holding down volume + and the power button when powering on.
When pressing these two buttons together on start-up, it actually remains a black screen, and it won't turn on after doing this, and I have to keep pressing the tiny reset button on the side of this device every time I attempt to enter recovery, to get it to turn on as normal again.
Pressing and holding volume - and power at the same time on start-up brings up "Factory mode" (in Chinese) and has no options available for flashing/ROM/ functions, except 'testing' the devices' hardware. This phone doesn't have any other physical buttons except power, volume + and -
I am able to successfully enter CWR by flashing it with MTKDroidTools and rebooting into the recovery mode (while powered up and in the android OS) however I still cannot get into CWR or any recovery mode at all while powering up with power and volume +
I just want to be able to enter a recovery mode on this device, to ensure no future issues and doubts upon the unfortunate events of a permanent brick. My idea is to flash this phablet with ParanoidAndroid; or cyanogenmod, and I could try doing this with a software reset, but then what if the ROM is incompatible, and totally bricks it? Then I have no way in hell to revive and reflash, because I can't access the recovery mode anyway.
I have came to the conclusion that it maybe due to the filesystem, potentially due to it's fbifs, that is the cause to no recovery mode, but what if it's ext4, does any of this make a difference.
Is there any way to make this device open the recovery menu while powering it on?
When I attempt to enter recovery mode while powering up with volume +, the device is basically a brick, until I press reset. It doesn't respond at all. The only way to enter recovery menu is by booting into android resetting the device into recovery mode via an app.

If you press and hold the 'home' button for a second or two it brings up a list of your most used (I think) apps.

I'm creating a game where there's a screen that, for the most part, is shared by four different activites - but a key portion of the screen will be completely different, depending upon which activity is active. Basically, on the left will be an image of the player and along the bottom there will be a row of buttons (let's say for Armour, Weapons, Magic, Skills). This leaves the top-right portion, which will need to dynamically change to represent the button pressed. (So, one moment the top-right portion is the armour selection activity, and the next it's the weapon selection activity, and so on.)
Is this possible? Can I have a layout within a layout and dynamically point the nested layout at a (nested) layout.xml of my choosing? Or, am I looking at just duplicating most of the layout four times (for the four different activities?) Or, am I going to be looking at linking the four activities to a (the top-right) view component, and then having to dynamically construct all of *that* view's child views based on the currently active activity? Well, that's about as much sense as I can make this question make.

Here are a few tips with the Fascinate camera:
1. You can access Panorama mode from the Scene menu in the top left. With Panorama mode... you will be guided by a green box, when you get close to take the next snapshot, move very slowly... especially when the green box is almost centered on your screen. This will produce better pictures with less blur.
2. Turn on Anti-shake and Auto-contrast in the settings menu. Turn on Grid if you'd like extra help with taking better photos.
3. Long press the shutter button to auto focus before taking the photo. It's a two-stage button that will take a little bit to auto focus, but it's better than not doing it before taking a photo.

I'm trying to add custom menu items in a WebView Context Menu. Unfortunately, my items are shown in the menu of the first web page I load , but then if I load a second page, a long press only shows the standard context menu items. Mine are gone. I've put a Toast inside the code and it is displayed as well on the first loaded page, but not on the second. I'm using the code below:..............

I have an Options menu up and running in my Android application and I've overridden the onCreateOptionsMenu, onOptionsItemSelected and onPrepareOptionsMenu methods to customize the menu a little. My question is related to keeping the Options menu open after the user clicks on a menu item. Basically, I'd like to be able to hide the menu until the user clicks on the device menu key. Once the user clicks on this key, I'd like to be able to hold the menu in place regardless of how many times the user clicks on menu items. If the user wants to hide the Options menu, they'd just need to click on the device menu key again. Is this type of interaction supported (or even advisable).

I have an application I wrote for Android (lat's call it MyMainApp).
My contractor wants me to write another utility (service) to periodically check his website for newer versions of MyMainApp, and if there is one - download it and install.
I know this is handled by the Market app, but my contractor wants to do it in his own utility (he does not want the user to be bothered with the update process).
Of course - the user will be notified and agree to this feature. Can this be done?

It seems like every example I can find of switching between Activity's involves creating an Intent and passing in the context of a View via an OnClickListener associated with a button.But what if you just decide you need to switch Activity's? In my case, a Preference value is causing an Activity switch. How do you create an Intent that can cause an Activity switch without an associated OnClickListener?

I have a little problem with a ScrollView.I have a layout for an activity which is made with a ScrollView. This scrollview contains two ListViews.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView android:id="@+id/accountsListView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="none" />
<ListView android:id="@+id/cardsListView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="none" />
</LinearLayout>In onCreate method of my activity I compute ListViews height according there contents.During execution, on activity launch, ScrollView is already scrolled a bit.So I tried, at the end of onCreate to call method scrollTo(0, 0), but it does not change anything.
