Android :: Runtime Language Change Support
Mar 8, 2010I am developing an Android App which communicated with a server. User can select a language of his choice at startup or during the App execution lifetime. After selecting the language, the corresponding XML file is downloaded from server according to language which will map the "Values" of Application strings according to that language. Can I do something like replacing the default Strings.xml which contains English names(Say by default) to the language selected by user. Better will be adding an XML file per language and referring it runtime directly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Prevent Orientation Change At Runtime
Apr 15, 2010Well, preventing an orientation change is easy. But what about doing it at run time.
Say, I have an activity which supports orientation change in normal situations. It has say three Edit Texts.
There's also a button, which when clicked would do some processing in a thread while showing a ProgressDialog which is not cancellable.
Ok, so till the user hits the Button, I want the activity to be able to adapt the orientation changes. I have two layouts files for each orientation with different layout schemes.
What I want is this. Once the user clicks on the button, and the ProgressDialog is showing, I don't want the activity now to be re- created again when the orientation changes. So, before showing the ProgressDialog, is there any way to tell the Activity not to handle Orientation change?
Also, once the process is complete, and the ProgressDialog is removed, I want the Activity again to be able to handle orientation changes.

Android : Change The Height Of A Webview On Runtime
Feb 26, 2010I have a webview and a table containing 4 buttons. I have set the height of the webview to 400px, so that the buttons are displayed at the bottom of the screen, in portrait mode. My problem is, when changed to landscape mode the buttons are not visible. So I need to change the height of the webview on runtime, when orientation is changed. Do anybody know how to achieve this? I am able to capture the orientation change, using 'onConfigurationChanged' function.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Change Background Image Of Dialog Or View In Runtime?
Aug 9, 2010I have a card game I created in android and it is possible to show the scores at any given time by clicking a menu option. I would like that scores dialog to show a different background image when it's loaded depending on factors like who's leading, etc. In my constructor, I have the following relevant code:
public ScoresDialog(Context context) {
super(context);
this.setTitle(R.string.scoresDialogHeading);
setContentView(R.layout.scores_view);
...
}
I have tried getting that view to change it in the showDialog method i wrote like so: findViewById(R.layout.scores_view).setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE); However, I got a NPE... I tried moving this statement to the onStart method, thinking that the view is not yet initialized but got the same error... Any thoughts on what the right way to do something like that is?

Android : Change Android Theme At Runtime?
Dec 3, 2009I am now working on changing android theme style at runtime,when the user select a theme resource,not only the current application,but also all the applications installed on the phone should be changed.For example,just like you change the system language in setting activity,then all the applications' language changed.I just can not figure out how android framework achieves this,anybody knows something about this?
While I tried to use PackageManager,just like this:
PackageManager manager = getPackageManager();
List<ApplicationInfo> apps = manager
.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
for (ApplicationInfo app : apps) {
app.theme=android.R.style.Theme_Light_NoTitleBar_Fullscreen;}
It won't work.Does the attribure "theme" in ApplicationInfo read-only?
General :: Galaxy Note N7000 - Access Point Names Change When Flash Different Firmware
Apr 23, 2012I just bought a unlocked galaxy note and I had to to get my access point names right so I could use my data form AT&T. I'm ready to rooted my phone and flash a ics firmware (rom) on my samsung galaxy note N-7000. when I flash, will my access point names be ok. I've already went ahead and copy on paper the way they are now so I wont lose them.
P.S. Your access point names are how you get your data from your cell phone provider such as at&t, sprint, boost mobile, etc etc. It has nothing to do with your wi-fi.
Android :: Runtime Error Using Exported - Signed Apk But No Runtime Error Using Eclipse IDE
Mar 2, 20091) I am developing my app in Eclipse 3.4.1 with Android (ver 1.1_r1) plugin. My app compiles and executes without errors when using the Eclipse IDE.
However, when I export my app (unsigned) using Eclipse (via {select project} >right-click>Android tools>export unsigned application package), sign it, and try to run it on the Emulator, it throws a runtime error when I try to update my sqlite database, at which time the specific error created is: SQLite error#14, unable to open database. It is able to read from the database without problems. (I have also verified that the database is: open, is not readonly, is not locked by another thread, is not in the middle of a transaction.)
I have limited experience, but this seems more like a "system" problem given that the app works OK in Eclipse IDE but then fails as an exported/signed apk. Some googling of SQLite resources revealed a similar error on a non-Android platform which was fixed by: "Set your permissions correctly on /var/tmp, or whatever directory you are using to hold temporary files".
Does Android have temporary files, and if so how does it handle permissions on temporary files? Is there a way to check or set these permissions to see if this fixes my problem here?
2) Not sure if it is related, but after I have run the exported/signed app which causes the runtime error, if I reboot the Emulator, and try to run the program using the Eclipse IDE , the program fails with the same exact error. PLUS I also noticed the following error message while the program is installing/running: 03-01 22:22:29.282: ERROR/PackageManager(53): Package com.northwestradiology has mismatched uid: 0 on disk, 10019 in settings; read messages:
I can restore the Eclipse version of my program to be able to execute without runtime errors by utilizing the -wipe-data option for the emulator. But note that if I run my signed APK using an emulator created with the -wipe-data option, it still throws the runtime error listed above...
General :: Mount Arbitrary Phone Partition On PC / Change Partition Names?
Oct 8, 2013I am running rooted stock Android 2.3 on LG E405 (no working 4.x ROMs exist for the device)
I have two questions:
1) What is the shell command to manually make android allow the PC to mount androids' (internal) partition as USB-drive? (I cannot think of right keywords to google this one up - )
2) How does android determine which partition is which (i.e. which one to remount for the PC when connecting in "USB storage" mode), beside vold.fstab and init.rc? On android 2.3 that info is not in "framework-res.apk", so where is it? In the partition table itself?
I had switched data partition with internal sdcard partition.
Here's how: Phone had a very small "/data" partition on /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 and large internal "/sdcard" partition on mmcblk0p20
So I reformatted mmcblk0p20 (ex-sdcard partition) into EXT4 and mmcblk0p21 (ex-data partition) into FAT32
Then I changed init.rc to mount mmcblk0p20 as /data type EXT4 and mmcblk0p21 as /sdcard type VFAT (mounting /sdcard was commented out in stock init.rc for some reason). This required modifying my boot image.
I have also set correct partition number in vold.fstab:
[#]dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host[/#]
So basicly I now have a large /data partition and small internal /sdcard. I'm able install up to a gigabyte of APKs and it works fine.
However, when I connect to my PC via USB into "USB Storage" mode, the phone seems to still try to unmount what was previously sdcard partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p20), instead of what is NOW an sdcard partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p21) I can still send files to the phone via wi-fi and ADB, but the ability to mount it directly would be nice.
If I accidentally select "erase internal sdcard" from storage menu, that will also most likely erase what is now my /data partition, softbricking the phone. The "factory reset" option will probably only corrupt the sdcard.

Sep 19, 2010As an additional anti-pirating strategy, I'd like to compute a checksum on my application at runtime.

View 15 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Swap XML Layouts During Runtime?
Jul 27, 2010Is it possible to load my main.xml layout file in onCreate() and then later in the app, switch to a new XML layout? I've tried placing setContentView() later on in the app but that seems to not actually set the new View because my references to objects in the newly set xml layout file are returning as null. I've tried doing some layout inflating using the LayoutInflater but I'm having no luck (I'm probably doing something wrong)... So is there any other way to swap layout xml layouts at runtime?
