Android :: Implement Your Own LocationProvider?
Aug 3, 2010I would like to implement a new LocationProvider. In this case, one that uses OpenCellID.org. I figured the pattern wou be quite similar to providing an AccountAuthenticator but was stunned that I could not find any documentation on this.
Looking at the source http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/frameworks/base/location/java/... all the relevant code seems to be in a service providing the ILocationManager.aidl -interface that I cannot navigate to or find using Goole Code Search.
Is it supported to provide your own LocationProvider at all? If so, what do I have to do to acomplish this?

Apr 13, 2010Hi,
I'm planning to use my website to provide updates for my android application whenever the user decides to perform an update( in case there is one available) . I'm thinking to use http requests for the communication between the user and the server, so whenever there is a new update the server sents back to the user the link to download the apk of the update through the android browser. So far I think it should work !?!. But once I have the apk of the new update on the card ,and the installed old version of the application how do I actually perform the update ?

Jun 10, 2010In my Touch Pro 2, i was able to open a calendar and click a conf call phone number, it called the number. (same as on my EVO).Then once i am in the call, I could click the back button and view 1/2 calendar and 1/2 dial pad. It was very helpful because i could see my passcode from the calendar for my conf call WHILE i dialed them in at the same time.Is there any app or function like this with Android?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Provide Context To Call Necessary Functions In Own Utility Class?
Nov 11, 2010Sometimes I need to provide a Context object to call specific functions, such as
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyClass.class);
in order to start a service
context.startService(intent);
Or, provide a Context object to do a query
Cursor cursor = context.managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
If this is done in a UI class which extends Activity, that's fine.
However, If I want to create my own utility class (a singleton) that doesn't extend anything and call these functions, I don't have necessary Context object. Now my workaround is to pass an activity reference while initializing the utility class and have that reference to call those functions. I'm wondering what's the correct way to do that. It should not be reasonable to have every class to extends Context so that it can call those functions.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Provide A Database Packaged With .APK File Or Host It Separately On A Website?
Oct 29, 2009Here is some background about my app:
I am developing an Android app that will display a random quote or verse to the user. For this I am using an SQLite database. The size of the DB would be approximately 5K to 10K records, possibly increasing to upto 1M in later versions as new quotes and verses are added. Thus the user would need to update the DB as and when newer versions are of the app or DB are released.
After reading through some forums online, there seem to be two feasible ways I could provide the DB: 1. Bundle it along with the .APK file of the app, or 2. Upload it to my app's website from where users will have to download it
I want to know which method would be better (if there is yet another approach other than these, please do let me know).
After pondering this problem for some time, I have these thoughts regarding the above approaches:
Approach 1: Users will obtain the DB along with the app, and won't have to download it separately. Installation would thereby be easier. But, users will have to reinstall the app every time there is a new version of the DB. Also, if the DB is large, it will make the installable too cumbersome.
Approach 2: Users will have to download the full DB from the website (although I can provide a small, sample version of the DB via Approach 1). But, the installer will be simpler and smaller in size. Also, I would be able to provide future versions of the DB easily for those who might not want newer versions of the app.
Android :: Android Should Provide Remote Database Access For Applications
Sep 19, 2009The idea is to allow developers to access a remote database provided by google.In android the developer will need a special permission to be set at the manifest file.This could allow applications to keep a backup of users application data without having to sign in ever, seamless.Users could than sign-in to their gmail and see a list of applications that are currently storing data on their gmail space.The user could be allowed to wipe the data or even block the application from storing data to it.This idea make the most sense since Android will be a platform were users will be constantly changing android phones as new better ones come out.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Why Dont Android Applications Provide An Exit Option?
Mar 13, 2010Is there something in the Android developer guidelines that disuades developers from providing the option to "exit" (stop running) an application from within the application itself? I love multitasking and all but it's not clear to me why: the vast majority of apps don't have their own Exit functions and hence just keep running forever don't give you a choice about running when you turn on the phone - they just do by default Both of these things lead to memory usage constantly increasing and your device running with this performance burden all of the time despite the fact that you may only want certain apps to run some of the time.
