I am trying to make an application which will triggered by SMS, and show in front of the standby screen. My application will only use a small portion of the full screen, and the background is the android standby screen. I have searched some android examples but those application will always fill full of the screen, can anyone give me some guideline on how to make an such application?

I do have a few questions about the phone. i was wondering if there is a way to make text messages alerts show up on my screen. i have an app that shows if i have one unread but it is pretty small. every other phone i've had had a pretty big notification for texts. also is there a way to have the screen light up when you get a text? there is a sound that plays when i get a text, but the screen does not light up. not sure if im just missing something, but is there a way to set different tones for different notification? right now the same thing plays when i plug my phone in, that plays when i get a text. none of these are huge issues, but i am just curious if there is a way to make some changes on the phone. im sure ill figure it out or just get used to it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy droid does not have a front mounted camera. How about two small rectangle mirrors mounted at 90 degrees with one edge of mirror touching just below the phone camera lens... and with some simple holder, it could turn phone into a front facing non reversed camera (2 mirrors -- like a periscope.)
Has anyone constructed this? Seems like it could be a simple product accessory that could world for multiple phones.
Dash is phone with camera backside pointing to one of two mirrors shown as slashes & V.
Because my Motorola Droid X and many other phones lacked a front-facing camera, it was impossible for me to find a good application for Video Calling until recently that I found this AIR application. I am happy to know now that I can at least make clear video calls with my device. Oh and did I also mention it was free?

For example, I want to write an activity that launches when you return from sleep (black screen). How can I set this activity to run instead of the default one? In other words, I want to make a custom lock screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone rigged up a device to convert the back camera into a front facing camera? I may experiment with this at some point. In the past I have simply sat in front of a mirror and pointed the camera into the mirror, this way I don't need to flip the phone back and forth to video chat.
However, I am envisioning a device (perhaps made of plastic or cardboard... business cards might even work) with angled mirrors on it, that can sit on top of the phone. One mirror would be facing the camera, the other would be facing you. The second mirror would mirror your image to the mirror facing the camera. Just a thought, I haven't played with this, so the image may be upside down, requiring another mirror. Attached is a paint mock up. I'll post my results when I get around to building one. I encourage others to try and improve upon a design. Could be a cool little project.
When you click applications button, you will see all the applications icons. I like this icons better than home screen icons because it looks bigger and feel more comfortable when I look at it. Well, yes it looks like iphone screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a need to force my application to the front under special circumstances. I know its against the good coding philosophy but I am working on a turnkey solution where I control the complete device. The app is used internally as a business tool and supplied to the users on a stripped down device. I have searched but cannot see a way but know that it can be done as in the Application Protection app. This can react to the launching of an application and kill it / allow it by entering a password.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an android application that I want to always be running in landscape mode.
I have the following code implemented to keep the app in landscape mode all the time:
inside my activity in the Application Manifest
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
This seems to launch and keep the application in landscape view for the whole duration of the application. Perfect!
However, if I have the app running on my HTC Aria (Android 2.1) and the phone locks, if I unlock the phone, I see the application for probably half a second and it's in portrait orientation and then quickly switches back to landscape mode. It is quite frustrating because all of my views are jumbled around and it looks unprofessional as you can imagine. This happens in both the emulator and on my real phone.
Does anyone know how to stop the application from temporarily rotating when the phone is unlocked?
I have tried overriding onConfigurationChanged() but with no success.
I have also tried putting setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); into the onResume() but the app still shows as the incorrect orientation for a split second when the phone is unlocked.
I have an existing android app in version 1.5 . I have to make it to support Multi Screen.

View 17 Replies View RelatedIts a few pixels or so near the middle of the screen. Its not pixels solid out, but a few that almost looks like a 'mar'. It only shows up when the front camera is on, but if I take a picture, there are no marks on the screen?
This is the 'viewfinder' for the front facing camera (lens blocked so you can see it):
If I take the picture, it DOES NOT SHOW UP! I am rooted.
First of all. So I picked up my EVO a couple of hours ago. I was messing around with it, and switched the camera to the front one, which has now caused the screen to be blank, just black. None of the buttons function when it's like that, except the home screen. Please let me know if anyone knows anything I can do about it tonight.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am following the standard example of how to add a RatingBar. To control the number of stars I tried to use android:numStars="5". The problem is that the number of stars doesn't seem to do anything at all. In portrait-layout I get 6 stars and when I flip the phone I get about 10 stars. I tried to set the number of stars in my Activity (myBar.setNumStars(5) ) that loads the xml but there was no success with that option either.
So my question is how do I define my layout so that it will only show five stars? Set numStars doesn't seem to work.
So 31 days into using my HTC Evo (1 day past when I could actually do something about it), I now notice a scratch on the front display dead center. No idea how it got there, though I did let someone use it for the first time while I wasnt monitoring their every move with it, lol. To make the matter worse I ordered a screen protector 2 days before this happened (waiting on mail).
Just wanted to let people know it will scratch when you least expect it, so buy a screen protector.
My question is, considering I have never had a scratch on my cellphones before. Will a screen protector (ie: Boxwave ClearTouch Anti-Glare) make the scratch look less noticeable?
The 7$/m insurance (if you choose to get it) only means you pay 100$ to replace it compared to full retail. Toothpaste trick Ive read in random places online did nothing (bad or good). Not willing to risk making the issue any worse trying other methods, unless someone here has a good one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to produce a java front end, via some sort of Android "view" that will allow me to show the console output from a native C/C++ application binary. I followed the steps from various google searches and I have a tool chain that produces native binarys that I can then "adb push" onto the android device. I can either use the adb shell or a console application like ConnectBot to native to the pushed path and run the binary like so: ./someApplicationHowever as I stated in my opening sentence I would like to wrap this binary with a font end producing an apk that can be loaded onto the phone and when it runs it opens up and directs the stdio output from the native binary to the screen.
