Does anybody know where to get the standard power control widget icons from?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to include standard android icons in a menu XML file, as described in Android Icon design guidelines. However the build fails with the following errors : [2009-06-04 00:00:31 - Laser] W/ResourceType(16578): Bad XML block: header size 2475 or total size 0 is larger than data size 0 [2009-06-04 00:00:31 - Laser] /home/niko/dev/workspace/Laser/res/menu/ main.xml:4: ERROR Error: Resource is not public.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking into getting my application to show up when the user tries to 'share' a picture via the Gallery application I can't, however, find any information about how exactly to go about this. I get that I need to declare an intent filter for the SHARE action, what I can't seem to find is how the Gallery wants to send out the selected image. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/11/integrating-applicatio... documentation is key indeed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a database, a ListView, and a CustomCursorAdapter that extends CursorAdapter. A menu button adds an item to the database. I want the ListView to update and show this change. Normally it doesn't show this new item until i go to the homescreen and reopen the application.
I did eventually get it to work by calling cursor.requery() or mCustomCursorAdapter.changeCursor(newCursor) whenever I added a new item, but when I set autoRequery to false in the CursorAdapter constructor, it worked just the same. Why does it update correctly when autoRequery is set to false?
Am I using CursorAdapter correctly? What is the standard way of keeping the list updated with the database? And what does autoRequery do?
The android sdk offers the standard menu icons via android.R.drawable.X, however some standard icons, such as ic_menu_refresh (the refresh icon), are missing from android.R.Is there any way to get the original icons, maybe by extracting them from the applications? I already checked the Android source, but it's a bit too huge to look everywhere for the images.I know the androiddrawableexplorer website, but I would like to get the correct hdpi, mdpi and ldpi version, preferable the original ones.Do you have any idea?

I must say LP is kinda cool, gives you a different feel of the phone. Right now i'm only using one screen, and 1 dock (not multiple dock screens), but i guess i'm just trying to find out if this is actually any different than the normal senseUI. I see there are limited icons, and we can either use the LP icons, or the default icons, but maybe there is an expansion pack for LP that i'm not understanding? Also, what are you guys using as a clock. With LP, i can only add the analog clock, or other wigdet clocks i've downloaded, but can't load 10 clocks that came with the phone. I'm assuming those are senseUI clocks, and will not work with LP. Should i download clock widgets that will work with LP? Also, since i'm only using 1 screen, and 1 dock, and i really not utilizing LP to the max here ? I should be using the dock more, and using it for more applications to quickly pull up right? Does anyone have any advice on how to customize it a little bit to make the experience more enjoyable, or make it worth the while ?Also, battery life? Any difference? Is it the same? I have ATK that i run every once in a while to kill some buggy apps/games, I noticed that LP is running and taking up a good amount of resources, has anyone reported a really bad battery due to LP being installed?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI notice that most apps that come with the OS use a standard look and feel, with common icons and images for common tasks. For example, when data is being loaded, you see the "Loading" text with the green revolving arrow to indicate that something is happening, or when you are asked if you want to take a photo, you see the gray camera icon image. I have also seen private apps downloaded from the market use these same icons. So.
1) Are these images available for our use? I'm sure my apps would look more pro if they used them.
2) Is it recommended that android developers follow the standard look and feel in their apps?
I am creating a widget that you can assign a contact to onClick. I used the method that is described here. This works great on standard Android phones such as the Motorola Droid, HTC Nexus One and HTC G1. The problem is for users who are using devices such as the HTC Incredible or HTC Droid Eris (Both running Sense UI) and I imagine on other phones who's OS deviates from the vanilla flavor of Android.Using my current method I thought that the device's OS would hook into whatever that manufacture chose to use for their Contact system however users are being sent to a random list of numbers, not their Contact list. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get those Contacts or is this just another example of the Android fragmentation issue?

View 3 Replies View Relatedjust got my Desire last week. Fantastic phone I have to say. One thing I haven't been able to find out yet is whether or not you can connect to a fileshare for e.g. pcsharename I know this works on a HD2, but that's a Windows phone. I noticed thewre is a VPN connection option. One would think that you should be able to connect to a network fileshare. Does any one know if this is possible with the standard apps installed or do I need an app from the Market?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI never do graphics type programming. I'm designing a screen that will need to look good on all phones, and all resolutions. It's for displaying in a list view, and there will be a small graphic for the summary view, and a larger graphic for the detail view. Normally I use a 32x32 (res 72x72ppi).png for the summary view which looks good on my G1. The second image is for the detail view and it basically should fill the entire width of the screen (roughly, it's ok if it doesn't use the entire width as long as none of it is chopped off). The size I use for my G1 is 468x60.
So, the question for the guys that really know this stuff is: What sizes do I need to make these images to support all screens and densities with the fewest number of images? I know that the answer is a little subjective, but I remember seeing a post with a link to a page that recommended 3 different images for the different screens (and it seemed to make sense when I read it), and I think but don't remember for sure that then you would need 6 layouts to support those with both landscape and portrait orientations.
I love how Android automaticly displays a number of menuitems in the options menu and when there are too many for your screen, it displays a 'More' button. I'd like to keep it that way, but the menuitems in the popup that you get when you press 'More' don't have the menuicons. Is there a way that I can overrule this? If not, how can I display my own popup when the user clicks 'More'? I still want that Android figures out how many menuitems fit on the users screen.

Is it done differently within certain apps or is there a standard proceedure throughout?

View 6 Replies View RelatedJust wondering if it is possible to get icons for applications on the Android Market? For example, if there is an application called "com.mycompany.someapp", is there a way to programmatically grab an image (icon) for that application either through an Android API or by simply downloading it from someplace on the net? I know it is possible to get the icon for an installed app using the PackageManager API; however, I don't believe that works for apps that are not installed. Failing that, since PackageManager can get a list of icons for installed applications, it should be possible to compile a fairly comprehensive list by creating an app that queries the PackageManger and uploads all the installed app icons to a webserver. That's not as nice as a true API, but it seems like it would work reasonably well. Can anyone think of anything particularly wrong with that approach?

View 5 Replies View RelatedEver since I got my phone (January of this year) my contact icons will disappear randomly. I think it has to do with the facebook sync because all the other icons that I took pictures for are fine. My "People" list is just messed up in general - the update status shows up under the wrong contact icon, it never loads properly, really laggy, and the contacts who are facebook linked randomly show up and disappear. My phone is completely optimized for speed and performance. Its been almost one year and I still cant figure it out.
