Android :: How To Retrieve MIMETYPE Of An Entry

Jan 1, 2010

I'd like to query the contacts and create an RDF model (FOAF to be exact) from the data received. Therefore it would be necessary to know what kind of data I'm dealing with.

I'll need the following information about each contact: name, phone number(s), email address(es), IM ID(s) + corresponding IM service.

I thought that the best way to get this information was via the ContactsContract.Data table. So my query looks like this:

code:...........

Cursor contactsTable = managedQuery(contactsURI, projection, where, whereArgs, null); </code>

(I need the DATA_VERSION to know if updating the model is necessary.)

Now I'd like to go through the table and add properties to my model for each entry. Therefore I'd need to know if the row I'm currently reading contains a name, an email address, a phone number or an IM ID (it would be best if I could also get information about the IM service the ID belongs to).

Is it possible to get the CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE or anything like that? Or should I perform a single query for each type and then connect the information via the CONTACT_ID?

Android :: Add A Calendar Entry

Jan 27, 2009

I would like to insert a new event (start time, end time, and event name) in the user's calendar. How can I do that? I have the impression, that the SDK does not have the API for it (yet), but the G1 has the APIs. Would the CalendarProvider class the way to go?

Android :: Repetitive Text Entry

Oct 20, 2010

I've just made the switch from WinMo to Android (Samsung Galaxy). I was wondering if there is a good program for repetitive text entry? I used TapText by DinarSoft on WinMo and that was great for tapping and it would enter preconfigured text - date, name, address - anything you wanted! Is there anything similar for Android? I've had a search but all I can find is stuff for texting/sms but this is for use in any program that has a text field.

Android :: Text Entry Box Navigation

Jul 19, 2010

Still grappling with the on-screen keyboard on my HTC Desire (came frmo BB).

One thing that continues to annoy me is that when I am entering longer strings of text (eg Facebook comments/status, emails) there is no way for me to go back in the text to change or correct something. I either have to backspace all the way there, or have to try and put the cursor there by touching the screen at just the right place - either my fingers are too big or the screen isn't sensitive enough as I can never get this right.

why can't there be up/down/left/right arrows to move the cursor within the text entry box?

And another thing - there are some entry fields where the keyboard pops up and actually obscures the text entry box other than the first line and you can't see what you're typing.

Android :: Delete Call Log Entry

Aug 4, 2010

i have a application which will listen to incoming calls. so in the TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE state which means the call is hung up i'm deleting the current number from the Call Log.To delete the Call log i used ContentObserver which will notify me when a new entry is added to the Call Log.10 out of 8 times this works fine. but sometimes onChange(boolean b) is not notified.my guess is this can happen due to last entry is not added to the CallLog in CALL_STATE_IDLE state. so that means i'm doing this in a wrong place.so guys could you please let me know when should i delete this call log?

Android : Picking Up A PhoneBook Entry Under 2.0

Nov 1, 2009

The party is over and Google suddenly released the much anticipated Android 2.0 SDK.

Much improvement for sure !

That said, the party is over and I came to have to deal with the following Ghost;

I've released an app in the market (Ambu) - so far qualified under SDK 1.5 &1.6. Using the emulator for Android 2.0, things don't work anymore.

This is what I'd like to share;

- my app invokes an ACTION.PICK intent as way to extract phone contact from the phone book and populate a database.

When compiling my app using the SDK version 1.6 and a target emulator configured at 1.6 level, the following code WORKS:

CODE:.........

When running the same code (compiled with SDK 1.6) and a target emulator at 2.0 level, the above code never return the entries I have populated in my the phone book. It's as if the phonebook was always empty.

A couple of additional observations;

- When running the emulator in 2.0 mode, the default local input type is Japaneese. Any way to change this ?

- Under the 2.0 emulator, and setting a "clean" AVD image, if you launch the dial button, press menu and select account, you'll probably immediatly get a "android.process.acore" error ...

- In the most recent SDK document, I can read that "People.CONTENT_URI" was deprecated after SDK 1.6. Therefore, I've changed the above code to:

CODE:.........

Unfortunatly, with the above, I get a crash right away when invoking ACTION_PICK.

Question to the Google Folks (dear dianne and others, please !);

How to we properly pick a phonebook contact under the 2.0 OS using 1.6 or 2.0 compiled apps ?

Android :: After Entry - How Virtual Qwerty Keyboard Go Away?

Feb 1, 2010

I've got a activity with one AutoCompleteTextView with associated 'doit' and 'clear' Buttons and a read-only TextView that displays the result of 'doit'. These results are being partially obscured by the QWERTY keyboard. I'm trying unsuccessfully to shift focus from the auto complete text view to the clear button (or the read only text view) thinking that as soon as the auto complete text view loses focus, the keyboard will go away.

So my question is really two questions:
1) Once I succeed in programmatically arranging for my auto complete text view to lose focus, will the keyboard go away?
2) Focus is stuck on my auto complete text view. I've setFocusable (true) on the clear button and the other read-only text view, and called requestFocus() from each (I've tried both). Also setText("") in the auto complete view. No love. Can I not set focus to a read-only textview or a Button?

Android :: Can Suite Of Applications Participate As One Entry?

Jun 17, 2009

Can suite of applications participate as one entry?As this is the power of the android platfom to have disconnected architecture. One application might be doing a small thing but when two or three apps club together then they can tackle a bigger problem.Or for the competion one has to have everything in one app? This doesnt make much sense though as the platform encourges component like design.

Android :: Text Entry On Custom View

Jan 27, 2010

I'm dealing with a phone that has no physical keyboard and I'm using my own custom view for rendering. The device I'm working with, by default, seems to be in a T9 type entry mode where it suggests blocks of text. However, it never sends me the actual key events.

How do I tell whatever soft-keyboard that pops up to enter 'dumb' key event sending mode?

The InputMethodManager has a "isAcceptinText()" call which would tell me if it's in event-sending mode, but not a method to set it. Digging through the documentation hasn't produced any insight. How do I tell the input manager that I only want key events?

and here are the preferences.xml code...

everything looks okay, but EditTextPreference entries (2 and 3) have arrow-down icons next to them, just like ListPreference (1) does. Why is it so and how can I remove these icons as they look irrelevant?
