Android :: How To Swap To A Larger SD Card
Aug 23, 2010
Brand new to android, and loving it. But with the release of the Audible app and various music files, I'm going to fill my little 2GB card soon.
How would I go about switching to a larger capacity card? I'm not worried about data files, I know I can copy all of that stuff off the card, but what about any apps or app settings that might be stored on the card? If I simply copy the entire contents of the card to a new one, will everything "work" when I start the phone up? I confess I don't really know much about the android guts, but I'm willing to learn!
Phone specs:
1.) Model Number: Samsung Intercept SPH-M910
2.) Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
3.) Baseband Version: S:M910.05 S.DF27
4.) Kernel Version 2.6.29
5.) Build Number Samsung ECLAIR.DF27
6.) Carrier - Sprint
7.) US

My stock 8GB card is showing about 7GB full, so I figure I'd better upgrade to a larger card before I start running into problems.
My preference would be to NOT have to do much work. I like the way my card is set up now. My phone is working well. I don't want to mess with a good thing.
Is it possible to simply copy the entire contents of the old, 8GB card onto the new 32GB card, insert the new card in the EVO, and be on my way? Or, is there other stuff I need to do?
I would rather NOT do any kind of clean installation and restore all my apps and data, one by one.

Can I just swap the SD card from my Droid to my X when I get it today, and restore the apps with Astro File Explorer? Or, is there something specific to the Droid on the card that would cause a problem?

When ever I partition the sdcard it gives the option of installing a swap partition. I know that my ubuntu installation on my laptop installs a swap partition when I installed the operating system. Would there be any benefit for installing a swap partition on the sd card?

I just recently rooted my phone(iball Andi 5c) which runs on android ics 4.0.3..Mainly to use the sd swapper so I can get more space for apps but I have seem to have made a mistake when I used some sd swapper app.As soon as I used it rebooted my phone.I thought it did what it was meant to do but instead both my ext sd card and usb storage disappeared... gone poof just like that. Now I have no storage only phone memory.

It has come to my attention that Android can only deal with asset files that are around 1M or so. My problem is that i'm creating an app that requires access to 5 csv files. The largest of the files is 130M. I want to be able to package these text files with my app. Is there anyway around this? My app needs to be able to run without Internet access so storing these files on a server is not an option.

Any apps that will make everything larger on the screen in Android?
I have found something that makes the fonts bigger but what about the rest of the stuff including icons, address book and so on?
I need to be able to see the stuff on the screen.
IF I have a choice, should I go android or windows and why should I chose one over the other?

I'm trying to copy a series of small bitmaps into a larger one, arranging them side by side without any gaps or overlap in their pixels. For example, if I have 3 square bitmaps, I'd like to copy them into one long and thin rectangle. I know how to do the opposite, namely creating a small bitmap out of a larger one, but not this way around. What's the right command? I want to do this to be able to reuse some code I wrote for handling animation with a single bitmap.)

Is there an app or widget that can be used to make a larger button? I'd prefer a 2x2 size that I can use to direct dial while driving rather than having to fiddle with the small 1x1 size, but anything bigger than the standard would be fine.
I've only found apps that make smaller buttons and one that makes me select subsequent options before I can actually call. I just want a large single press widget.

I have an application that works fine with smaller images (say 1024x768 or so) but when you rotate the phone into a different orientation (say landscape to portrait) mode with a larger image on the screen, and then call ImageView.setImageUri() it goes into the BitmapFactory.class and never returns.So the app eventually times out. Never throws an exception, just never returns. Has anyone else seen this? Sounds like a bug in the Android code more than something I am doing since it works fine for smaller images.

I wanted to start a discussion about displaying ads on apps.
1. What agencies do you recommended?
2. Displaying ads from agency A on activity A and display ads from agency B on activity B. Is that a good idea using two ad agencies in one app?
3. How are you optimizing to make more money when publishing ads on your app?

Right now I have 2 activities (A+B) and what I would like is for only 1 of them ever to be on the stack (If A shows B, I want the back button from B to go to the home screen not A). Is their a good way of doing this with activities Or should I change my app to be a bunch of views?

Is it possible to load my main.xml layout file in onCreate() and then later in the app, switch to a new XML layout? I've tried placing setContentView() later on in the app but that seems to not actually set the new View because my references to objects in the newly set xml layout file are returning as null. I've tried doing some layout inflating using the LayoutInflater but I'm having no luck (I'm probably doing something wrong)... So is there any other way to swap layout xml layouts at runtime?

I created an android application project and have dug through the code and It is unclear how I'm going to set separate views for each list item. The original code is as follows
Code:
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_item_detail, container, false);
[code]...
On reviewing this code it is clear that the view hasn't been changed, only the content has been changed from the dummy item. I would prefer to have each dummyItem have its own view, layout, etc.The code for establishing these views are in the dummy content
Code:
static {
// Add 3 sample items.
addItem(new DummyItem("1", "Live"));
addItem(new DummyItem("2", "Settings"));
addItem(new DummyItem("3", "About"));
}
What I would like to do would be more like the following where each item would have its own view and layout.
Code:
static {
// Add 3 sample items.
addItem(new LiveDummyItem("1", "Live"));
addItem(new SettingsDummyItem("2", "Settings"));
addItem(new AboutDummyItem("3", "About"));
}
I thought there may be some type of container I can use to swap views in and out or possibly that I may be able to grab a view from the dummy item itself.

I am trying to swap the position of two buttons. My swapping code looks as below.
private void exchangeButtons(Button btn1, Button btn2) {
// Create the animation set AnimationSet exchangeAnimation = new AnimationSet(true);
TranslateAnimation translate = new TranslateAnimation(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, btn2.getLeft(), Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, btn1.getLeft(),
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, btn2.getRight(), Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, btn1.getRight() );
translate.setDuration(500); exchangeAnimation.addAnimation(translate);
// int fromX = btn1.getLeft();
// int fromY = btn1.getRight();
// int toX = btn2.getLeft();
// int toY = btn2.getRight();
Log.d("ArrangeMe", "view1 pos:" + btn1.getLeft() + ", " +btn1.getRight() + "view2 pos:" + btn2.getLeft() + ", " + btn2.getRight());
AnimationSet exchangeAnimation1 = new AnimationSet(true);
TranslateAnimation translate1 = new TranslateAnimation(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, btn1.getLeft(), Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, btn2.getLeft(),
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, btn1.getRight(), Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, btn2.getRight());
translate1.setDuration(500); exchangeAnimation1.addAnimation(translate1);
// EXECUTE
btn1.startAnimation(exchangeAnimation);
btn2.startAnimation(exchangeAnimation1); }
I call the code as below:
exchangeButtons(button1, button2);
My layout looks as below:
what happens when I execute the code is, instead of the buttons exchanging their positions, they just disappear for sometime[may be 500 ms] and reappear as they were originally.

Suppose I have the following layout
CODE:......................
How could I swap position of button01 with button02? And would it work also for swapping button01 with button05?
Before asking what I have tried so far, I don't even know where to start. I googled but the only answer I could find was about AbsoluteLayout.

I am trying to create an option in my code to change layouts using preferences. I already have the two layouts created in XML, but I can't figure out how to swap between the two during runtime. I would like to cause it to check during onResume() since it is called directly after returning from the Preferences screen and when starting up, however I can't figure out the code necessary. I tried just using setContentView() a second time, but it didn't seem to work. What can I do?
