I am writing a service in which I want to have an observer kind of thing for the phone Locale, which lets me know if any one has changed the Locale through Settings->Language & keyboard. Is there a way to do this?

Is there a way to slow down the gps update setting on locale? It seems to check about every 4 - 5 mins or so for me. is there a way to slow it down? I fear it is killing my battery
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that will allow me to set up different profiles for phone settings that can be switched easily by choosing a "profile" from a list.I DON'T want Locale. i want to be able to do this by choosing from a list, NOT based on my location.For example, a user could set up a Power Saver profile, a Power User profile, an Online Profile, etc. Each of these profiles should be customizable. For example, I should be able to customize the "Power Saver" profile to the power settings I want (ie. Screen brightness, WiFi off, Bluetooth Off, Syncing Off, etc).Is there anything like this? Ideally I'm hoping for something that has a free version, as I am in Canada and we can't get paid apps yet.For the record, I am using Useful Switchers, but I don't want to have to go through all the various steps each time I want to go back and forth from power saving and using my phone online.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having problems with the locale program. I set the conditions for a specific location and will place the settings on vibrate on. If I have my ringer on, its supposed to override that if I am located within the location on the condition? Can someone please explain more detail how it works. And what specifically does the defaults do in relation to an active situation?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to give the users of my app the possibility of selecting a language from within the application. All languages are supplied the standard way via the values resource directory. However, I don't want Android to select which resource directory to use but let the user decide instead. Any ideas how to accomplish that? The rationale for this: - some languages are not supported by the Android framework and can not be selected as a locale via the system settings - if you buy a phone in Spain, it will typically not have a system setting for Russian language, if you purchase in Russia, you will have that setting. So a Russian person in Spain would prefer using the Russian language included with the app, but can't access it

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I'm trying to figure out how I can get English (United States) set up on my new Hero. I've looked through the Locale Text settings and found a few English settings, but they were all for Poland or Czech or wherever, no US. With my current setting, it connects me to UK versions of sites, and apps like ShopSavvy returns products in Pounds. I want USD please.Does anyone have a solution for this?

Why is the accessibility menu in settings on my phone empty and disabled
shouldn't there be somethings to be changed alike text size or something?
Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700
Android 2.1
I've been playing around with a few different ROMs to find the one that's the most stable for me, but something weird has happened. Most of the ROMs I like the best have the vanilla dialer which I love but the look of the dialer has changed and I'm not sure why.
At one point the dialer had the END, SPKR, MUTE etc., on the call screen so if you pulled the phone away from your ear you could see those buttons. Now when I'm on a call I have a little tab that I have to pull up to access the number pad and I have to hit MENU to bring up the END, SPKR and MUTE settings. I really want to go back to the way it was before. This has happened on several ROMs.
I was playing around with my settings and changed my smsc number. Now I cant send texts! Is there a way to find out what my original number was, a way to reset it, or a way for me to send text again?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLocale is one of my faverate App, it can create situations specifying conditions under which your phone's settings should change. For example, your "At School" situation notices when your location condition is "77 Massachusetts Ave.," and changes your ringer volume setting to vibrate.
With Locale's advanced touch-screen interface, you'll be set up in no time. Quickly define locations that are important to you using a simple Google Maps interface.
If you think this is exactly what you are looking for, you can download it in the market

So there is Locale for all other countries/languages where apps are available but I can't set Locale for Spain/Spanish?
See Locale list: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html

How can I find or create a Locale.SPANISH?
Does that just make too much sense to hope for? I'd love for my home screens to automatically change for qork, travel, weekends, nights, etc.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using PackageManager.getApplicationLabel(ApplicationInfo) to retrieve application labels. It looks like the label that is returned depends on the Locale set for the phone. For instance with the music app I get "Music" in English, vs. "Musica" if I have my locale set to Spanish. Is there a way to get the default application label (perhaps as defined in strings.xml)? I want to be able to retrieve an application label for each app that is independent of locale.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've already read the issues with Locale, and that's sad, because I love the concept of the app. Even before I bought a smartphone and knew about Locale, I wished the existence of such a thing would exist. Hence my excitement when I got it was off the charts, but now, not so much. The situations aren't enabling and it's the same 'ole story of "Defaults" dicking everything up.
Can someone please make a Locale that works? (rhetorical question...).
Anyways, another frustration I've come across is that my Wi-Fi keeps turning on. Does anyone know what setting is causing this? I'm about to do a hard reset again and just say screw it.
I have different text packaged into my app for different locale. The Resource.getString(int resid) method automatically returns me the string for the CURRENT locale of the phone. Is there a way I can specifically obtain resources while passing in a locale? For example, there isn't such method as: Resource.getString(int resId, Locale myLocale);

View 6 Replies View RelatedChanging the locale for a device is done in the settings, and can't be done by an app AFAIK.I know how to force my own app to a specific locale,So now to my question. Can I force, programatically, the local of an activity that isn't mine?I can imagine 2 ways this could be possible:Specifying the locale in an Intent used to start the activity.
Access and manipulate the configuration of running activities (in the same way as I can modify my own activities' configurations).Any thoughts? Is it possible? Is it reasonable?
I guess 2. would be more direct, but require some kind of permission (e.g. the modified atcitiy must allow it in the manifest file). But I'd settle for 1. or similar.
What I want is to be able to see certain apps in a different language, but rather not change the system locale. E.g. the Android Market, that only displays comments in one language. Can't think of other things right now.Can't find much written on Locale in the documentation, what is and isn't possible. But hoping some undocumented feature might enable this :)
