Android :: How To Retrieve Locale Independent App?
Jan 21, 2010
I'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.

I was just wondering if there was a way to control the volume for each application independently. For example I was using my droid for GPS navigation and music in my car the other day and kept getting shouted at by the navigation since the volume was turned up for the music. Needless to say it gets really annoying fast. This problem stems from the fact that all the apps have their volume control handled by the media volume control.

I am working on a screen that needs to look fine at HVGA-L resolution as well as 640x480 resolution. Lets say I have a button that is 200 pixels wide and 50 pixels high on HVGA-L skin. When the same layout xml is shown at 640x480 skin, I want my button size increase proportionately. The hardware the app runs on supports both the resolutions.
None of the units that the android framework provides seems to have this facility. If I use px, then the button size will stay same. dip doesn't matter because it is the same hardware. sp is meant for fonts, not for button width/heights.

How to create custom view with two independent sections, each slideable? Example would be iPad Zillow -> http://www.zillow.com/ipad/I was wondering if this can also be done on the home screen and not only in new app.

I'm interesting in buying a Samsung Galaxy but first I'd like to know if all Android apps are phone model independent? I know that all the cool custom ROM stuff from XDA Devs is HTC only but apps are not? Mostly, I mean Open Home, Unlock 2.0 and Better Keyboard with their skins.
Same question goes about widgets.

I'm in a situation where I have to share some resources (i.e. images) between several of my apps and I'd like to know if there's a standardized and convenient way to do this besides the system-wide Media Store. The reason I don't want to use the MediaStore is that the resources are rather low-level (e.g. icons) and thus the user wouldn't be interested in them cluttering the MediaStore.
As I see it there are three ways to share the resources:
1) Store them in the global MediaStore. 2) Put them on the SD card. 3) Implement a custom ContentProvider for this kind of shared resources.
I like how a custom ContentProvider would encapsulate the way the data is stored, but it seems to be a bit of unnecessary overhead to achieve this. Writing to the SD card is convenient, but rather low-level. Are there any other options suited for this problem?

Could it be possible to make each screen have a different wallpaper while scrolling? I mean, taking as an example a case with three screens, it will be necessary to set a x3 screen width wallpaper to fit 1/3 on each screen, or directly setting different images for each screen. so the scrolling make it visually a different wallpaper on each screen rather than sliding the wallpaper a 50% each side.

in xml file we can define measuring units along with the values. If I want to set some property through code it only takes "int" value. What is the default unit for this int? px(pixels) or dp(density independent pixels) ?

i'm doing some experiments with OpenGL using the GLSurfaceView introduced in 1.5 In my Renderer I keep track of the time spent to render the last frame and pass this value to the method that update my model. The goal is to keep objects movements on the screen independent from the rendering time. Now this seems to work perfectly in the emulator, but on the real device is at least 4/5 times slower! Has anyone experienced the same problem? Or, anyone has a clue of what I'm doing wrong? Here's pieces of the code I'm using

The android docs say that it adds the runnable to the queue and it runs in the UI thread. What does this mean? So, for example, the same thread I use to create my layout is used to run the Runnable? What if I want it as an independent thread that executes while I am creating my layout and defining my activity?

I've been searching for a way to control the volume of different apps independent of each other. As in those apps that don't have any in-app specific volume controls. The only thing I've found is that the native android OS doesn't support such a feature, but that information is old.
While this has bugged me a bit in the past, it's only now that I've started using Google Now that's it's become annoying. I'm occasionally playing a game that has no in-app sound control, and I don't like the music/effects of that game, so I turn the media volume down to mute. But when I then switch to Google Now, the voice is on the same "media" volume control, which in turn makes me miss the spoken answer to my inquiry.

The screen seems stretched on the x axis (in landscape mode), resulting in circles that look like ovals. So I decided to take a look at some system info apps, and this showed some strange numbers (see the screenshot below).
I already tried editing the dpi in the build.prop file, but this didn't fix the problem. The overall dpi changed, but I was still stuck with the incorrect aspect ratio. Maybe a way to change the dpi of the x and y axis independent?

I have the SAMSUNG Moment. I was wondering why does my notification ringer IS the same for plugging in your phone, texting, email, errors, and ect?
Is there an app that lets you choose independent ringers for everything?
Im not willing to 'ROOT' my phone, im patiently waiting for 2.1.

Locale 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

My users can change the Locale within the app (they may want to keep their phone settings in English but read the content of my app in French, Dutch or any other language ...)
Why is this working perfectly fine in 1.5/1.6 but NOT in 2.0 anymore?
CODE:..........
The problem is that the MENU "shrinks" more and more everytime the user is going through the lines of code above ...
This is the Menu that gets shrunk:
CODE:.........
What should I do in API Level 5 to make this work again ?
HERE IS THE FULL CODE IF YOU WANT TO TEST THIS :
CODE:..............
AND HERE IS THE MANIFEST :
CODE:..........
THIS IS WHAT I FOUND :
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" />
=> IT WORKS JUST FINE ...
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
=> Menu shrinks every time you change the locale!
As I want to keep my application accessible for users on 1.5.

I'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.
