I am searching for a macro for Android. For example, some application will start at certain time, then click (or touch) the menu itself as I've previously saved in the macro. Similar app for Windows Mobile is "Vito Buttonmapper" I think. Does the application "Tasker" do the same thing that I described? Or is there any other application?

at the moment I am thinking about a new app and need some information to decide whether to develop on Android or an alternative OS. I am particularly interested in "time to first screen", "boot-up time", "time to first Audio" and "app-start" (can be any from the android market or even one of the pre-installed ones) time? Does anyone know a source or perhaps measured those numbers?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with Eclipse and writing an Android application. I've noticed that the load times to the Android emulator can vary significantly. Recently, I found that manually going back to the main menu of the emulator helps my application load much faster.Is there a quicker way (read: automatic way) to exit out of my application rather than hitting the Back button multiple times until I get to the main app menu? Secondly, is there something I am doing wrong that factors into the longer load time?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my Palm Treo 680, I was able to type a keyboard shortcut or macro to put in the current date and time in a string of text.On the Palm, I typed ".dts" and it returned a macro of "@@ds @@ts", which then returned the current date and time, using ShortCut5 in Prefs. Even on the PC, I use "zds" to return a similar date and time stream - this is using "autoworkers" - 28/6/2010 2:21 PM.Is there some sort of keyboard macro or auto text or shortcut method to do this with the HTC Desire ?(I will probably be asking a lot of "on the Palm Treo 680 I could, how do I on HTC Desire" questions, as I migrate to my new device. Please bear with me)

I thought maybe it just did it automatically but the pics I have tried to take close up were nothing like the stock macro on the X. I'm sure its user error because this app has everything but I can't figure it out.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of any application that allows placing a shortcut on the home screen to a sequence of actions? That one shortcut would, for instance:
Set WiFi Off
Set the Car Mode app on
Set the Disable Car Screen app on
Toggle from 3G to 2G
or another macro shortcut could:
Turn the LockRinger app off
Switch to Silent mode
Turn WiFi on
I've been searching the app market but, so far, I haven't discovered anything offering that sort of handy functionality.
I have just recently released my free app into the market and was wondering when is a good time to start placing ads in the app? Should I put it straight from the beginning?
I'm thinking maybe when the downloads gets to 5000 but these are numbers I'm pulling out of thin air so I would love for some of you guys to share your experience with placing ads in your app.
When did you place ads in your app? What kind of revenue was/is it making? And any tips for someone that has no idea where to start?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a task program that's more than just a start-up monitor or a one-time tasks killer. I'm after something which constantly monitors what programs are opening and automatically kills those I don't need (for instance Maps, MP3 Store, Outlook Tasks, Settings, Touchdown, all of which, however many times I close them, seem to keep reopening). So I need something intelligent that will run in the background and close apps as necessary.
Can anybody please recommend anything?

I have profiled the app to narrow it down to the act of moving the Cursor to the first row of the result set for a simple select query (only returning 1 row where I'm testing it to eliminate the size of the result set as a problem.
Are there any better options for moving to the start of the result set?
edit:
some code...
this runs 3 times and i have time it to approximately 2 secs for all the rest of the code or over a minute with this in.
i have also run just the rawQuery statement with out the move to first and its takes bout 18 secs so im looking at the worst part of the code first.
There seem to be 74 different apps that switch sound profiles or dim the screen and turn stuff on and off. But why is there no consolidated macro program? Not just for profiles, but to control other things as well. Like being able to place a shortcut on your home screen labeled "Go Home", and when it's pressed, it turns on GPS, turn off screen timeout, opens Google Maps Navigation, and sets the destination to whatever your own address is.
Or instead of using the YouTube app by itself, make a shortcut that turns off screen timeout, sets brightness to 100%, maybe turns on wifi,and opens the YouTube app. An app that allows you to write a series of actions, including switching profiles, turning things on and off, opening or closing programs, even changing settings inside a program, like the aforementioned setting a predetermined address as the destination inside Navigation, would be awesome. It would be nice to save a little time by having the same 4 or 5 different actions you do to do the same thing each time all consolidated into a shortcut or something, especially when driving. Is there any program like this, and if not, how come?

I would like to know if anybody knows how I can start my application with an incoming SMS message.
For example, I send an SMS message from phone A to Phone B. When Phone B receives the message, it checks if it is sent to my program. If it is, it starts(run) my application. Important thing here is that my program is not running in the device unless SMS is received, so it can not be listening for SMS itself.
When i turn on mobile network, my phone start locking screen many time, until I turn off the mobile connection.

As an exercise I attempted to add an AppWidgetProvider-derived class to one of our existing Android applications. When the widget is created and appears on the home screen, the output from adb logcat notes: W/ActivityManager(58): Unable to launch app com.mycompany.myapp/ 10042 for broadcast Intent { action=android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_ENABLED comp= {com.mycompany.myapp/com.mycompany.myapp.MyAppWidgetProvider} }: process is bad
This output comes from around line 10814 in ActivityManagerService (looking at cupcake on git). This is running on an ADP 1.5, FWIW. The same AppWidget code, once separated from the main application's project and put into its own simple project, runs as expected, so I know my manifest entries/XML/Java are all as they should be. Has anyone else run into this, or perhaps can the Android team comment on what aspect of my application might be preventing the AM from starting up the process when the widget is added to the home screen?
