View 6 Replies View RelatedI need repack android.jar. Yesterday i read android source codes and i realize that classes have more methods than casual sdk provide.
So
1.download android 2.2 rev 1.1
2.Unjar it
3.unjar android 2.2 rev 3 from sdk
4.Replace classes
5.repack to jar
6.rewrite android.jar in sdk folder
Some classes causes warning due to missing objects. So you can delete them or replace from default. But i have problem with classes that does not been in native android.jar. eclipse see namespace of package but classes not.
Idea: because android.jar contain only empty stub classes. it is only compiler reference and eclipse use it only to know android api. So is absolutely right add stub if they exist in android system. Why android not support all api functions?
Is somewhere cookbook "how to" Create own android.jar? "Try google" is not answer.
I've had the Nexus one for a couple of weeks now, last night I thought I'd have a closer look at some of the snaps I'd taken, check the quality like. I was MT pinch zooming into them and to be frank I was less than impressed with both the detail and the compression. To double check I quickly popped outside and snapped a piccy of a rather charming sunset we were having, ensuring I was on 5MP and super-fine.
Took a look in the Gallery app and same thing, looks about 2MP with some heavy duty compression when you zoom in.A little baffled by this I thought I'd check them out on my desktop monitor so emailed the same photo to myself. Much reduced Compression artifacts! The gallery images that you view are clearly some low quality version of the pic, natively I don't believe you can truly appreciate your pics on your handset.
I am not sure what happened, but at first the speakers when playing back audio was very loud and clear. Then, for seemingly no reason, it is barely audible even tuned all the way up. Did a press a setting somewhere by accident?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSay I have developed 4 applications. Is it possible to group these applications, so that I can access and launch these from one location?
Can the below flow work? Start an Application|Display launchers(icons) for 4 different applications|On click of the icon start the respective application.
I have written an application which calls native methods through JNI. In the native library 4 threads are started. On USB removal, the application is to be closed including the native threads. Upon receiving the USB removal event, we are trying to kill the threads (pthread_kill() ) and then finish (using finish()) the activity. After reconnecting the USB, the application is not launching due to memory corruption. In DDMS, it shows the threads are still attached to bionic. As the threads are not closed, I feel the resources were not released properly. If I reconnect again then application launches and works fine and the same repeats on every launch.
To solve this problem Can I use System.gc() ? Can I use pthread_exit() 1st and then pthread_join instead of pthread_kill ? Whats the procedure in Android to kill the native threads and also the application ? After the application is closed, will it not be listed in DDMS ?
I have an application with three tabs. Through various interactions with the items in the tabs I end up launching other activities. The client has reviewed this and would like the activities launched "within" the tabs, so the tabs remain visible and if the user clicks the tab it goes back to the original activity defined in the setContent function. Is this possible and how would I go about this from other activities? (ie the child activities, not the one that defines the TabHost and has access to call setContent)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know this has been asked a lot of times in StackOverflow already, but I haven't quite found a solution yet. My app sends an email with a link in it that when clicked should launch the app. According to @hackbod, the best way to do it is to make use of the Intent URI (see this). Here's my code that sets the intent and puts it in the email body: Code...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two activities.A and B. A starts B.Both are running in the screen and both are visible. Say now B is visible.
On a special key press, I want to bring the A to the front and make it active. The problem I am facing is when the special key is pressed, another instance of A is launched and the new instance is brought to the front.
But I want the original A to come to the front. I want to make this change in the framework layer rather than application specific by using the singleInstance theme in the launchMode in AndroidManifest file.

I would like to write an application which would be launched from the Contacts list in the phone.That is,you choose a contact using the normal contacts application, and where you can dial to the contact, send an Email or SMS,you can also launch my application with this contact's activity.How can this be done?
View 1 Replies View RelatedGoing through the ApiDemos sample code (in Android 2.1 platform), I saw that there are two activities that make use of the Instrumentation class: ContactsFilter and LocalSample. However, I'm having trouble finding the menu that will launch any one of these activities from the ApiDemos application. I just want to be able to run ApiDemos and hit the breakpoint in one of these Activities so I can understand how the Instrumentation class works. proper navigation in ApiDemos to launch ContactsFilter or LocalSample?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn the market, there's an application called App Protector, which seems to effectively block the launching of configured activities until a password is correctly provided. By default, it blocks access to itself (not very interesting), Settings, and a few others. I wrote my own app to launch settings (rather than doing so through the home screen) and App Protector continued to do the job it claims to do.
When an activity that is protected is started, App Protector's password input activity is shown instead. Once the correct password is provided, the activity that was started comes to the front.
First -- does anyone know how this app is able to get between the rest of the system and the activities it protects? I would like to do something along these lines in my own application as well. Perhaps this app is receiving a broadcast about other activities coming to the foreground, and when the foreground activity is protected, it forces itself to the foreground?
Second -- does anyone know how well this technique will stand up to attack? Are there other ways to circumvent, where start Activity(...) fails to? It seems that one could use adb to un install it, thus removing its protection easily, but if I pursue my plans here, the app will be a part of a device's firmware (which, I assume, offers some protection against its apps being installed?)
I want to launch my application in market. I ahd go to http://market.android.com/publish/signup but there they are asking for Website URL. But i don't have any website then what should I enter there? or is it necessary to have our own website to launch application in market?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy app has 4 activities on the stack A->B->C->D (top)
If you press home and re-enter the application, another instance of A is started, so the stack is A->B->C->D->A (top). I know this because when I press BACK, A is popped off and I now see D (instead of going to the Home screen).
What I want is that when the user re-enters the app, they re-enter on the same activity they were in before (D).

Is it possible to re-use all the instances of Activities and Services when an application is launched twice. For instance: 1/ I start my application APP1. Some activities are launched and a service is started. 2/ I click "Home" device button 3/ I can see the icon the launch again my application APP1 4/ I click on it and the APP1 is launched twice
I would like to re-use the existing the instances of Activities and Services from the first launch. I guess it is related to "SingleTop" or "SingleTask" but it doesn't seem to work.
Is it possible to launch an app widget from another application.
For example, I have a button in an application. When I click on that button, an appwidget must be launched.
I would like to launch an app the user selects from within my application. However, I'm not sure how I'd go about doing this. I've tried this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Contacts.Intents.SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT);
startActivity(intent);
But this seems to throw an error and force close my application. I also tried adding:
<action android:name="Contacts.Intents.SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT"/>
in the AndroidManifest file, but to no avail.
A look at Logcat shows that it's an "IOexception - no such file or directory". A couple of questions arise from this. I read through the Android docs and noticed that the Contact.Intents class is deprecated. However, it's successor, ContactContracts is aimed at API level 5 whereas I'm targeting API level 3. Could this be the problem? Also, I've hardcoded this application into the code. Is there a way to retrieve the intents of any application the user selects so that they can be launched?
I am trying to launch another application from my Activity. Something weird happens when I am running this code :
Intent myIntent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null );
myIntent.addCategory( Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER );
myIntent.setFlags( Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED );
ComponentName compName=new ComponentName(myArray[i][0], myArray[i] [1] );
// String[][] myArray myIntent.setComponent( compName ); startActivity( myIntent );
I have this error :
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class { com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings};
Have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
But when I replace this line
// myArray[i][0] = "com.android.settings" // myArray[i][1] = "com.android.settings.Settings" ComponentName compName=new ComponentName(myArray[i][0], myArray[i] [1] );
with ComponentName compName=new ComponentName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.Settings");
And without any modification in my manifest, it works!
