Someone told me that the manifest file is vital for the layout and setting of out program. they told me this is a seperate file but is still a part of the java project (.jar/ap/apk file). They told me i can set everything using ONLY the java code itself. I really hate doing XML with java. how to remove or unlink this XML/HTML file from the Android SDK?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a right associated with write/read access to the sd card that needs to be set in the manifest.xml file? I'm currently trying to write to the sd card using a standard FileOutputStream here:
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/ sdcard/images/"+imageName);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
But it doesn't seem to be working. It just says the location isn't found, which can happen if there are no permissions to read/write to the location.
I just created a simple application, that starts the Dial Activity and place a call. I did not provide any permission in the manifest file to start a call, but still the call activity starts. I also checked the AndroidManifest.xml file, there is no permission added, still the activity starts.

Now I have a broadcast receiver which has been registered through manifest file and not through the java code, and need to unregister the broadcast receiver from the java code. Since this, i think would need a reference to System context that instantiates the broadcast receiver.
View 4 Replies View RelatedCODE:..............
The above code is my manifest for my project i get the error "Tag <activity> missing required attribute name." on lines 7, 15 and 16. ive been trying to renew the file but i get the same errors i am currently using SDK 1.5 mn3 maybe.
I don't want to store said file on the sdcard in this case. The file also cannot be storage directly in the apps local files directory. It needs to be in a subdirectory, so it cannot write the file using openFileOutput() and MODE_WORLD_READABLE.
The app may download files small files like pdfs and store them locally in a subdirectory. I would like to be able to have the user open these files if they have an app that can open them.
For example here is an intent for sending a pdf:
CODE:..............
path being something like: /data/data/packagename/files/subdir/example.pdf
That intent will open a pdf viewer, but the viewer is unable to open the file. I assume this is a permissions issue. I tried Mark Murphy's suggestion here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4e55d869213483a9/b7270078ac1a2744?lnk=raot of using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod 755 " + fileName); but it didn't make any difference. He also suggested a Content Provider but I would like to avoid it if I can because it seems like a lot just to get this file over to another app.
If the content provider is the only option, do I have to save the file to the content provider or can I just use the content provider as a pass through to get it to the other app when I need to?
I have only .APK file of PDF Viewer and my requirement is to use pdf viewer for reading document called through Web API . Is there any possibility to integrate these two in same package apart from source code?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI realise one has to use an intent filter to associate a file format with an application, but once this is done how does the app 'receive' the path to the file that was chosen? Is there a special method it calls on the Activity?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst of all let me say that this questions is slightly connected to another question by me. Actually it was created because of that. I have the following code to write a bitmap downloaded from the net to a file in the sd card:
// Get image from url
URL u = new URL(url);
HttpGet httpRequest = new HttpGet(u.toURI());
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
InputStream instream = bufHttpEntity.getContent();
Bitmap bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream);
instream.close();
// Write image to a file in sd card
File posterFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/Android/data/com.myapp/files/image.jpg");
posterFile.createNewFile();
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(posterFile));
Bitmap mutable = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmImg,bmImg.getWidth(),bmImg.getHeight(),true);
mutable.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
// Launch default viewer for the file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(posterFile.getAbsolutePath()),"image/*");
((Activity) getContext()).startActivity(intent);
A few notes. I am creating the "mutable" bitmap after seeing someone using it and it seems to work better than without it. And I am using the parse method on the Uri class and not the fromFile because in my code I am calling these in different places and when I am creating the intent I have a string path instead of a file. Now for my problem. The file gets created. The intent launches a dialog asking me to select a viewer. I have 3 viewers installed. The Astro image viewer, the default media gallery (I have a milstone on 2.1 but on the milestone the 2.1 update did not include the 3d gallery so it's the old one) and the 3d gallery from the nexus one (I found the apk in the wild). Now when I launch the 3 viewers the following happen:
Astro image viewer: The activity launches but I see nothing but a black screen.
Media Gallery: I get an exception dialog shown "The application MediaGallery (process com.motorola.gallery) has stoppedunexpectedly. Please try again" with a force close option.
3D gallery: Everything works as it should.
When I try to simply open the file using the Astro file manager (browse to it and simply click) I get the same option dialog but this time things are different:
Astro image viewer: Everything works as it should.
Media Gallery: Everything works as it should.
3D gallery: The activity launches but I see nothing but a black screen.
As you can see everything is a complete mess. I have no idea why this happens but it happens like this every single time. It's not a random bug. Am I missing something when I am creating the intent? Or when I am creating the image file? As noted in the comment here is the part of interest in adb logcat. Also I should note that I changed the way I create the image file. Since I want to create a file that reflects an online file I simply download it instead of creating a Bitmap and then creating the file (this was done because at some point I needed the Bitmap but now I do it the other way around). The problems persist thought and are exactly the same:

If an app needs to download some critical data (without the data it cannot function) of several MB, what is the best practice? The app would start, a prompt would be shown to confirm download, download would commence, and the user would be prevented from going further until the download successfully completes. I don't expect the download would take more than, say, 10 secs over wifi but, of course, would take much longer over 2G. Is a service absolutely essential for this? Maybe there is already some code out there that takes a URL, downloads it in a service, and broadcasts a configurable Intent when the download has completed?

Unfortunately, the documentation (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/ hardware/Sensor Event.html#values) doesn't give a complete definition of it. It defines what the axes are, but doesn't specify what order the three rotations are applied in, nor whether the later rotations are around transformed or untransformed axes. Without knowing that, it's impossible to know what the actual rotation is that's being described.
