when emulator launcher is launched, it launches with default first launcher screen. I want to change that to some other screen. how to do it?
I checked apps/Launcher/src/com/android/launcher/Launcher.java. I think i change setContentView(R.layout.launcher) to my xml file(i.e setContentView(R.layout.trailpg) ) but where to copy my trailpg.xml file. I checked in Launcher/res folder( in layout or layout-land or layout-port).
Whether above analysis is correct? if yes where to put the file.
Provide soln to modify the emulator launcher main screen.

I want to modify the stock ICS launcher (like Trebuchet, Nova, etc. did). How can I do this? I understand that source code of Launcher from Google cannot be opened in Eclipse like an ordinary application (because it uses private APIs). So how does Cyanogenmod team do this?

Is there a way to set up favorites in launcher pro and customize them?I would like to have a widget, shortcuts or whatever in either a folder or on one of the screens for one touch dialing.Can't figure out how to do that in LP. Also, is there a way to customize these in any of the UI's?For example, unless you leave them so large that you can only get 4 per screen, you only get the first name of the contact.What I want to do is be able to make the print smaller and have first name, last name.I don't care about the photo. I want to set them up so they automatically dial the preferred phone number when I touch them, not bring up the contact where I now have to click on the task I want (call a certain number, text a certain number, email, etc.).Seems rather fundamental and common sense but after playing with it for quite some time and searching here, haven't come up with anything.

I've been using LP for about a week (it's great BTW!) and this just started to happen so it could have something to do with the latest update. I've set LP at the default launcher and everything works great. However, if I ever long press the "home" button, go to an application, then press "home" again I get the popup asking me which launcher I want to use. I check the "set as default" box then select LP and everything is good again. It all works until I long press home the next time, then the remembered default is gone and I get the prompt again. I've tried rebooting, clearing defaults, etc.

I was informed of Launcher Pro in my search for customizing without rooting and then my boyfriend came across ADW launcher. I was just wondering if there were any major difference between the two? Pro or Cons?

is it even possible to modify .apk, by adding additional class to .dex and re-packing with modified manifest.xml?I know there are tools such as baksmali / smali to disassemble / re-assemble given classes.dex from .apk, but not sure limitation what could be modified from there on? I'm trying to add additional activity, to modify starting launcher activity (may be from androidmanifest.xml) from original apk, then re-pack and sign to make complete single .apk all need to be done out of build time, no raw source or build structure visible, only .apk as input.

Im want to modify and run an OCR app on android.As per my research i found that the OCR engine needs an NDK access.
Hence i've started with trying basic ndk samples.But im unable to compile/run those samples too.
Im working on windows 7 64-bit.
My question is whether i need to use Cygwin to run the above ?

I downloaded Launcher Pro a few days ago and am loving it. As most of you know that after downloading it, pressing the home button gives you the option of which home screen launcher that you want to..well.. launch..either HTC Sense or Launcher Pro. Well this morning I picked Launcher Pro, but accidently clicked the "don't ask me this again" box before that, so now I'm stuck on Launcher Pro and can't get back to my, or any, HTC Sense launcher. I've gone all through my settings and can't figure it out. I'd like to either get back to my old HTC Sense home screen, get to the DEFAULT HTC Sense homescreen, or get back to being able to have the option to pick which one I want to launch.

Which is best launcher for Captivate? which can help in saving my battery used by display (around 50-60%)
I used ADW for a while, but when I am on ADW my notification bar get vanished. I dk how..so i switched to launcher pro. I had a random shut down once, so now I am thinking it because of Launcher pro.
Is there any launcher (other then default one) which can be problem free and have good interface? Or I should wait for the Latest and cleanest version of launcher pro (the developer is writing it from scratch)
Hows is helix? anybody used it. HTC sense? can we use on captivate? Zeam launcher?

Then do something to make textSize attr. value + 2sp. The effect of this will make all button textSize bigger than original setting. **/ super(context, attrs, defStyle);}

I am coding an Android client that talks to some web services via XML packets.
A typical packet looks like this..
<Packet service="login">
<username></username>
<password></password>
</Packet>
I have about 20 of these packets and would like to store them in my resources maybe in res/xml or res/raw
I want to store these 'empty' packets and load them using XML DOM and then fill in the content between the tags or attributes but am unsure how to do this.
Once the DOM packet has been filled in I want to get that back as a String so that I can send the packet to the server.
So to summarize my questions are..
(1) How do I load an XML resource using DOM?
(2) How do I convert the DOM object to a String?

I would like to hack around the Android default Settings app for prototyping purposes. What is the correct procedure for building and installing the "customized" app?
After I modify the Settings source in the platform source tree, how to I build it? After I build it, can I install Settings by itself, or do I rebuild and reinstall the entire Android platform image?

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to modify the notification of another app (the calendar app from Samsung) from my own app. Specifically I'd like to change the alarm for a calendar event from a one-time sound (which is silent, if the phone is set to vibrate) to a repeating vibrate.
Can I even modify the notifications belonging to a differnt app?
If I can't, could my app get notified about all notifications and just rethrow my own, modified notifications?

My prob is the following: My android application has the class TestActivity (entrypoint) -my app uses "library.jar" wich contains J2ME classes, used as library -library.jar also includes "UIActivity" [can spawn several dialogs] wich is called by a (j2me) class of library.jar -I only have the .class files of the j2me-lib stuff, so I cant modify them, but I can do so on Android-classes
so... the short form:
CODE:.............
finally I get the error:
CODE:.............
Do I have to use Services instead of Activities? But afaik I have to give a reference of an activity to spawn dialogs.
