View 6 Replies View Relateddoes anyone know how you can find the package name for a particular app already installed on your handset? They usually go like: com.example.prototype(Where the folder prototype cotains the runnable files)Trying to use the intent function to launch an app within an app.Was told putting this code in the onclicklistener method for the button would allow this, yet to test it successfully. I reckon it works, just need to figure out package name of the app I wanna launch.Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);i.addCategory( Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); i.setPackage("com.otherapp.package"); startActivity(i);Want to press a button, to launch the "com.otherapp.package"

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how to get the size of an installed app.What's already failed:
- new File('/data/app/some.apk')
- reports incorrect size
- PackageManager.getPackageSizeInfo(String packageName, IPackageStatsObserver observer) - is @hide and relies on some obscure IPackageStatsObserver for result so I can't call it via reflection.
With froyo users can move a app to the sd card... How can i test if my app is on internam memory or on sd?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have some pre-installed applications on my G1 (IM, HiDialer, some Chinese appplications etc.) But i cannot uninstall them. It just says: uninstall not succesful. I read some other topics about this and there werent many answers. Only thing some people reply is just: get rooted. What if I am rooted? Then how do I uninstall them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to programmatically without root check and see how a program was installed?
The only solution I've been able to find is using root - and tapping into a database that the Vending application uses;
CREATE TABLE assets10(_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, content_uri TEXT, s tate TEXT, download_pending_time INTEGER, download_start_time INTEGER, install_t ime INTEGER, uninstall_time INTEGER, size INTEGER, type TEXT, package_name TEXT, is_forward_locked TEXT, signature TEXT, refund_timeout INTEGER, version_code IN TEGER, server_string_id TEXT UNIQUE);
Most specifically I can check to this database using my package name and/or signature and see if it's ever been installed by the market. Then if it has you could check to see if it's been uninstalled.
As for background, I'm just messing around with ways to distinguish real users from pirated versions. I've noticed from an application I've posted that I only have approximately 100 downloads and 50% active, yet my server which is used by the application shows approximately 200ish unique users within the past few days.
Is there a way to view the Pre-Installed Root CA SSL Certificates in the Android OS? That is VeriSign, GeoTrust, Etc.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just rooted my new Evo and installed SetCPU, i set up some profiles for when my battery reachs like <25 and i was testing this out at like <75 and noticed that even though the notification shows up as the profile is active, in systempanel app and also even in SetCPU is still shows the cpu reaching core speed of 998 instead of the speed it should be capped at...
So my question is, is setcpu actually working?

I have a folder of .apks of my programs that I use in case I need to wipe my phone, and I hate having to query the market everytime I need to re-download one of my apps.What I'd like to do is be able to generate a functional .apk file from an application I already have installed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if I am able to detect if my application was installed with Android Market (it's in the download list of the Market and eligible for update checks) or it's not?It would be a very good point to detect if the app has been installed without, as that can mean it was stolen and installed from SDcard.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo a few days ago I went to download a few apps. None of them seemed to want to download and I was pretty annoyed about this for about 2 days. Suddenly the Market seemed to work again, and I got 5 or 6 notifications of successfully installed apps. Winner
Unfortunately, there's one that seems not to have downloaded: "Street View On Google Maps". It thinks it's downloaded, but it's not there. If I go to delete apps on my phone, I can't see it. If I go to place an app or a widget on my home page, I can't see it. However, if I find it in the market, it says it's installed. And if I tap it in the market, both the "Open" and "Uninstall" buttons are greyed out. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here and how I can fix it? If it makes any difference, I'm on a HTC Desire HD.
Has anyone had an error along the lines of "(application) cannot be installed on this phone.", where the application name is in place of (application). This is on cupcake, I have my version minSdkVersion set to 3, and I've had no problems prior to this new version. Runs fine in the emulator, so I'm stumped?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just rebuilt an application to use some new assets, and now I get this message on my phone when I try to install it: "Application not installed" "UnitTests could not be installed on this phone" Anyone know what's going on? I've checked and I've definitely got "Unknown sources" ticked on the application settings. This is just a self signed application to run my unit tests on an actual phone (the emulator doesn't cut it for real testing). I tried creating a new keystore, and they didn't help. What on earth? The only thing I can think of that I've done recently is accept a google security update.If they've silently done some other updates that prevent self signed applications running, I'm severely upset.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got a few apps on my sd card that may or may not be newer than the ones I already have installed. Actually there are quite a few so I don't feel like going through and checking all the version numbers of whats installed. Is there an easier way to tell if the version on my sd card is newer than what's already installed, or do I need to go through and check all my version numbers?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on an app that will be shipped on some phones. I have been thinking about how to update them once a new version is ready. How that would work for a pre-installed app? As an initial thought I think I could pop up a message letting the user know there is a new version ready, but if I could avoid unnecessary request to the server it would be better. If a google engineer comes across this please give me a hint as you do this for Google Maps.
View 17 Replies View RelatedWriting a basic application. One of the features I'm interested in trying to do would be to launch another app, INSIDE the app already running. Eg. have an app with 3 menu options, 1 and 2 do certain tasks as part of this parent app, menu option 3 however launches another app thats installed on the phone. I'm unsure if this is possible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did an app called "Hello Yahoo" and today I made an update. But users said it can't be installed because the package is not signed correctly. And after that the old version can't even be uninstalled because the device thinks it is uninstalled already. I never experience that, but it is reported by many users. I do use a different keystore to sign it with the update. Is this the case? How can I fix this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy question about android service is about its distribution. My requirement is that suppose i have developed an Android Service which provides some kind of news updates. Any application can use it's API's to get news updates. Now my question is how will i distribute my Android Service ? 1. Will i simply put this in Android market and if any android application developer wants to use its API he will download this on the phone. 2. What if at run time the application try to use my Service and Service is not installed on phone, Will Android system try to download that service from android market?
