Can you tell me if the MEID which is the device ID on the Hero phone is going to be 15 digits is it hex or decimal? I am developing Hero applications and this is very important. Is it going to be unique from other IMEA (GSM) phones that have Android?

For my private static final String PREFS_NAME = "mypref"; does the PREFS_NAME have to be unique for every application? Or can I use the same one over and over.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have a very weird yet unique case with my stock text messaging app. Just this past weekend I started noticing that one of my contacts text messages were consistently showing up 3 minutes earlier from my text to them. So every time I send a text their response shows up above it which is very annoying. This case is only occurring for this contact, everyone else shows up just fine.
Now, this is what I have determined so far...
1) It's only happening when I receive a text from someone using a DROID on Verizon. I had a another friend who I had not recently text with sent me a text message to test my theory. The issue still occurs...
2) I had my sister who is on Verizon text me on her Blackberry Tour and the timing of her text shows up correctly. So it can't be the network right?
3) 3rd party apps (Handcent/ChompSMS) don't have this issue at all, the timing is perfect for everyone so my guess is that there is something wrong with the stock messaging app?
I have a whole bunch of other text from other contacts and I don't have this issue, it's just happening to the one contact that I have...actually, now two, which both have a DROID.
I may have to commit to using Handcent but I've been testing out the stock messaging app lately to evaluate the wake time after the firmware update and just noticed this problem occurring this past weekend only. I was using the stock messaging app even before this weekend and didn't notice this problem.
I want to have input type for the text boxes that only takes numbers and decimal point. Input type of Number or Decimal, still brings the full keypad and the buttons are small. Input type of Phone does the trick, but not all phones have a comma or a dot to enter the decimal point. What is the best way around?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android app. I have a TextView which contains an ASCII character. This character changes every 2 hours. I need to be able to read this character and convert it to decimal number, and then write it to an another TextView. So let's say the character is "[" and it's decimal value is 91. 2 hours later this character changes to "U" and it's decimal value is 85.
what kind of code should I use in my app to be able to convert ASCII character to decimal number?
I am trying to do something that I thought would be simple, yet I still haven't found the right approach. I have a Edit Text field that should only accept unsigned decimal entries. Using android:input Type="number Decimal" in my layout xml file achieves this, however the soft keyboard that is raised with this input Type is the standard keyboard but just uses the alternate view with the number row on top. This is far from ideal for a field that only allows numbers. A much better soft keyboard for numeric entry is the "phone" one. It has all of the numbers and a decimal. Perfect!! Well, except that for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use both the phone keyboard AND allow only numeric entry. I've tried everything I can think of but if I use the phone soft keyboard then the input field also allows things like "(" and any of the other symbols available on that keyboard. Is there any way to get the nice big numeric buttons of the phone keyboard along with only allowing decimal entry?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAlright how does one catch and stop a one decimal point error? The user inputs a single . and that is all; you can not allow that because you will be doing math with that input.if you have this in your xml file:
Code:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/edittext01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number|numberDecimal"
android:lines="1" >
</EditText>
and the user types just one decimal and nothing else the program will blow up.I tried the following code but the program blows up at the second IF.At first the two IFs were just one line, they got broken up to see where the problem was As you can see if the length of the user input is only 1 we check to see if it is only one decimal only
The program blows up at the second IF, but errx is a STRING.I used the Log.i to see how far to program went. And the errx is a "."
Code:
if (stop == 0) // checking for one decimal only and nothing else
{
String errx =null;
errx = (edtxt01.getText().toString());
Log.i("ONE DEC:", "START OF IF xxxx: " + errx);
if (edtxt01.length() == 1 ) // *********** 1st if
[code]...
So, I installed the N1 News and Weather App and find it to be awesome!

Like the person who started that thread, I need to get a unique ID for a device, without using scary permissions for TelephonyManager. I've tried
id = android.provider.Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
but that just produces "android_id" on my phone. I'm using a Nexus One and Android 2.1.
Is there some method in which i can identify a phone, a serial number or something similar that's accessible by code?

I'm having problems with the app icons and labels for the Light Racer series of games I've released on Hero. The games seem to run fine but for whatever reason, they are having problems displaying more than the package name on the home screen on Hero phones. The app manager shows the right name and icon but not the home screen. It also on some phones shows a random image as the icon, not even the app icon! I used a copy of a manifest that I used originally for Light Racer 1.0 from when the Android SDK v1.0 was originally released. For whatever reason, I put the words "Light Racer" directly in to the manifest for the android:label. I also don't specify that same label for the launch activity. I've since changed the label to the default @string/app_name but people are still reporting problems. I thought that maybe not setting the label on the launch activity was causing the problem but then I read this: Code...
We have a number of users experiencing crashes with our apps on Hero type phones (hero, droid eris, etc.). After some debugging, it appears that they upgraded the app, but that the phone somehow cached the old version of the AndroidManifest. For instance, the app version is still reported as one less than the latest, and the crash is caused by the phone not seeing a new activity in the Manifest (which is true for the old version manifest, but the new manifest of course has the activity defined). This seems to be limited to Hero phones, but we've seen it on all types (tmeu hero, verizon desirec, etc.). Is there any way to fix this besides spending many characters of the limited description size on something like "Hero users: please uninstall before upgrading"? Will there be a Hero fix to fix this behavior?

So, what I am asking is, is there antother DROID powered device besides the Nexus One that puts out similar speeds? And is there one for Sprint that is coming out soon or rumored to be atleast?
