Android :: How To Set Applications Background Same As Of Phone?
Dec 30, 2009
I am trying to figure out some way to determine the current background on a phone and then set that background as my own in my application to create a seamless transition between my application and the phone. However I haven't been able to find any functions for this at Androids SDK site. Setting android:theme="@style/Theme.NoBackground" inside my Manifest almost does what I want, but it still has the icons in the background.

I am currently writing a program to kill processes that the users choose to end. From the log Cat, I notice that a Signal 9 has been sent to the application but the process is still running. I am only able to kill my own process through the code below. I understand that the kernel only allow killing of processes that have some relation to my program, but how do I kill other processes other than my own?
Below is my code: android.os.Process.killProcess(processID);

Every so often I check my memory with Advanced Task Manager and I see certain applications running in the background and my available memory has dropped quite a bit. Now I am using the HTC Incredible so I still have about 127 MB free, however what concerns me the most is why the programs are even launching themselves in the first place. I could see some application having to start themselves, like a twitter client or an email client, however one of the programs that seems to be launching itself is the eBay app. I installed the app in case I wanted to view an ebay listing however I never use the program and it still seems to launch itself. Is this an example of a poor application design (i.e. ebay app) or is there some other reason these programs are launching themselves?

I have advanced task killer and auto killer installed but I still have random apps still running in the background that I don't even have running, even in the background or memory! Is there anything I can do as I feel that this is killing my battery life!

I've been researching the OS a bit and I can't really tell what happens to programs when you hit the home button to leave them. Do they stay running in the background? After a little bit of time does the system close them out? What happens to them? I have a Sprint Evo and I don't see a way to close them out. I know that battery life can always be helped, and I would hate to leave them running all day just sucking the life out of the phone if they don't have to be.

I am very new to Android environment and I have tried to figure something out for the past few days. If you press and hold Home button, it will list 6 last applications that were started, and that is fine... what is not fine, is that after checking it out I noticed that all of the 6 applications listed there are continually running in the background. Is there a way to actually shut down an application, not just put it in the background or is that an unavoidable part of the Android? So to put it simply, how to I close an application once I ran it and have finished using it? I also noticed that depending on how many and which applications are running in the background my battery life is impacted severely.

Scenario: I turn my phone on and multiple applications are running in the background. I run Advanced Task Killer and close all applications in the background. I respond to a text message and all of a sudden FRING and QIK are running again? Why? Can settings be adjusted manually or do I need to Force Stop in Settings - Applications every time I turn on the phone?

I noticed that I end up lgoing to advanced task manager and ending a ton of processes and apps constantly. I remember within a few minutes I of just ending a set, there were about 19 more running again. I feel like my phone is bloated right now and all I do is check gmail and google voice and I end up having a bunch of other crap running. My phone was officially charged 100% around 12am EST this morning and its less than 15% now.

I have to made call in background mean standard android GUI does not come appear when i made call instead of it go into the background.
Timo prill give me an idea from 1 forum which is "try to listen for phone call broadcasts, check if its a call done by your application and then start the intent you want to show during the call from the background."
But now i have no idea how to listen phone call broadcast.

Sometimes I keep on hitting a call out to someone and I have a freak out session and put the phone call in the background. I thought of putting this into the app section but since I believe the droid is the main athlete who needs this application. Anybody willing to put one on? Simple idea, have this kill all / single phone with a slight tap of the icon on the background.

In my android application i am using a image as background initially. Then on top of that i need to place small images and on top of the small images i would like to place a textview with some text on it.
I am using below code for that.With this am able to place the small images but the textview if i am trying to place it place in the next row and not over the image.
I also tried with adding the image as the background and then placing textview but at that case the padding and size of the image is not getting decreased.
Is there any way that i can have the images of size 60 by 60 and place a textview on top of these images.
Please share your valuable suggestions.

If I purchase an app with my current phone, and then I upgrade to a different phone in a few months, is there a way to take the apps with me? I have searched and can't find anything definitive. The ideal thing is if Google is storing my application history with my Google account somewhere, but I don't see where it would be.

I've been developing applications for a long time now, but now I want to jump into Phone applications development. There are four main candidates:
Nokia's Symbian
Apple's iPhone
Google's Android
Microsoft Windows Mobile Phone
considering documentation, market, samples and availabilty of emulators, I'm not a millionaire so I can't buy it unless I know it would mean profits!
I don't have much preferences as for languages, but to stay within C# would be nice, however I've been thru Assembler for a long time, so it's hard to scare me.

Ok here's my problem. I'm very new to the AndroidSDK. I've ran sdparted to convert my ext3 to ext4 and just tonight I learned how to open the emulator.I used the Android development site to learn how to do all this. I ran this: emulator -avd my_android1.6 -t 2 The emulator opened up but, it looks nothing like my phone nor does it have any of the apps that my Magic 32B has. This is my question. I'd like to be able to run an application that is currently installed on my phone on my computer to enter in a bunch of data into that application to use on my phone. It's much easier to type everything out on my computer than using the keyboard on my phone. Is this possible to do with the emulator and if I can how? I'm rooted and using Cyanogen 4.2.5.

I have a Droid X running 2.2. I'm trying to understand the advantages of storing apps on the SD Card vs Phone storage. Since the Droid X comes with 8GB of phone storage, I've got lots of room there.What would be some reasoning behind moving apps to the SD card? I see lots of people get excited when a favorite app adds SD card support, but why exactly? Maybe it's more of an advantage for phones with less phone storage? Also, how come in manage applications, it says that the app takes up way less space when it's on the SD Card? For example, I just installed Angry Birds and it put itself on the SD Card when it installed. It showed 1.83MB in size. When I moved it to the SD Card, it showed 14.06MB.

I am planning to purchase a DroidX on launch day and am switching from a BB Storm2. There are a few apps that I love on my Storm2 that I would like to have on the new phone. Wondering if you guys (and gals) can point me towards similar apps for the Android platform. 1. BerryBuzz - Customizes LED light for different notifications (I.E. can set light to Orange for SMS, Disco light for missed calls, etc.) 2. BerryWeather - Awesome weather app 3. Later Dude - Can set a reminder (calendar, task, call, e-mail, etc.) based on an incoming message/phone call 4. Pocket Informant - Great PIM app.

If you are developing Android application, you will encounter such a id naming in xml files of view and layouts :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/new_game"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_new_game"
android:title="@string/new_game" />
<item android:id="@+id/quit"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_quit"
android:title="@string/quit" />
</menu>
and I am really wondering why such naming is applied to ids. It is because of Linux? What kinda meaning this naming --@+id/...--has? When I am looking at android:icon attribute I can interpret that it means ic_new_game is located under drawable folder and @ means "located at" or I just assume that. But naming id attributes are kinda different because they also have + sign. Can somebody help me understand this convention?

In my haste and excitement to try out my phone I downloaded loads of apps from Android Market and didn't really pay any attention to the warning screen that shows you which parts of your phone the app needs access to. Is there a way to check up on this after the app has been installed? What I would like to be able to do is go through each application and see what parts of the phone is needs access to and uninstall it if I feel that it shouldn't need access to various items.
