I am available for an annual upgrade on november 9 after. I looked online to make sure i would be able to get the DX on the 15th when it came out. it didn't look like i was able to get a smartphone for the 2 year contract price. so, i called customer service and they said that i am indeed able to upgrade on nov 9 but i'm not eligible for the early upgrade because i am currently a smartphone user.

Is it possible to reboot an Android smartphone as a non-smartphone(Like a Nokia 1100) ? Just enable only services to make phone calls and everything else remain disabled(Slow down the CPU to the lowest clock speeds, lower bit depth, turn off all on-board electronics other than those necessary etc). Motivation is to save power. In my phone most of the power is consumed by Android OS (and not screen). I was wondering if I had a mode like that I could keep the phone alive in case I can't charge the phone immediately, by switching into this power saving mode.

I seem to be missing something obvious here, why would I want more than one activity per application in Android? Does somebody have some solid examples?

I've been hunting for a solution for days and can't find an answer. I've got an application where I need to place multiple calls in a row. I can invoke the dialer just fine and it starts calling the number. The problem is that after the call is over the call log comes up. I don't want the call log to come up. I want the dialer to return to my application after the call is over. How can I do this?

I have 2 activities declared as singleTask in my application. The reason for this is, with standard mode, pressing "HOME" in one activity (say A) and launching another (say B), still shows activity A.
However, a new problem arises because of this.
A -> "HOME" -> B (Result : B, Expected Result: B) -> "BACK" -> (Result:A, Expected Result: Home Screen) Any ideas why?

I have an application with two activities and I'd like to be able to have two icons appear in the launcher, each launching the respective activity within the app.Specifically, I want one icon to launch my main app, and another icon to launch my settings activity. Is this possible?This creates two launcher icons, but they both run my main app instead of the second icon running my settings app. I've tried just having the launcher category but then I don't get an icon so it looks like I need the main action as well.Is this the right approach or should I be declaring two applications in the manifest instead?

I have a single Android application that houses a suite of applications. I want each application to install with its own launcher icon, so I have a few activities with the same intent filter.It works just fine if I close out of an application using the back button. Each launcher icon starts a different activity. However, if I simply send the application into the background using the home button and then try to start a different activity,the one I put into the background is brought to the foreground instead of the correct activity starting.Can I make the multiple icons work or do I need to create a central activity as a way to start all the sub-applications?

I want to develop UI of the application which looks similar on all screen sizes. I have gone through the Android developer article regarding this. I am using supports-screen tag but then also the screen is displayed not displayed properly in the larger screens. The screen is displayed properly in HVGA and not in WVGA.
I have developed the application using Android 1.6 and set the minimum SDK version as 4. The application is running properly on HVGA avd but not on WVGA avd. Can I know the reason for it? Is there any solution for this? I want that the user interface of the application should look uniform in all the handsets.

I'm working on a project where I need to run the BroadcastReceiver for a third party library for a specific Intent. I also want to run some of my own code when the Intent is broadcast. If I supply my own BroadcastReceiver for the same Intent, it seems that only, one or the other runs, but not both, depending on which appears first in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Is it possible to register multiple BroadcastReceivers for the same Intent in the same application and have them all run? AndroidManifest.xml snippet

I am unable to use the following to code to play multiple sounds/beeps simultaneously. In my onclicklistener I have added
... public void onClick(View v) { mSoundManager.playSound(1);
mSoundManager.playSound(2); } ...
But this plays only one sound at a time, sound with index 1 followed by sound with index 2. How can I play atleast 2 sounds simultaneously using this code whenever there is an onClick() event?
public class SoundManager {
private SoundPool mSoundPool;
private HashMap<Integer, Integer> mSoundPoolMap;
private AudioManager mAudioManager;
private Context mContext;
public SoundManager() {
} public void initSounds(Context theContext) {
mContext = theContext; mSoundPool = new SoundPool(4, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
mSoundPoolMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
mAudioManager = (AudioManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
} public void addSound(int Index,int SoundID)
{ mSoundPoolMap.put(1, mSoundPool.load(mContext, SoundID, 1));
} public void playSound(int index) {
int streamVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, 0, 1f);
} public void playLoopedSound(int index) {
int streamVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, -1, 1f);
} }

Shown are a few lines of code. If I play a single sound, it runs fine. Adding a second sound causes it to crash.
private SoundManager mSoundManager;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.sos);
mSoundManager = new SoundManager(); mSoundManager.initSounds(getBaseContext());
mSoundManager.addSound(1,R.raw.dit); mSoundManager.addSound(1,R.raw.dah);
Button SoundButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.SoundButton);
SoundButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) { mSoundManager.playSound(1);
mSoundManager.playSound(2); } } ); }

I am new to developing for android. I have a question regarding some best practices. My app is like a dashboard from which multiple different "sub-activities" can be started and done. I am wondering what is the best way to structure the app. One way is to have different layouts and load and unload them appropriately. The other is to start new activities using intents. At least this is what I have gathered from what I have read.

I have read the topic about supporting multiple screen size as well as different DPI. I am wondering which of the following way is better in supporting multiple screens:
1. Have different layout for different screen size (stretch the images)
2. Have different set of graphics for different screen (use the same layout)
3. Have different set of graphics and different set of layout for each of the screen
Which way is the easiest? And which way is the most optical way to design? Or is there another better way?

I am developing an android app w/ Eclipse.Whenever I run the app on my phone or the emulator, four application icons are installed on the device.I am guessing it is related to my manifest file which has three activities (3 are for tabs).When I uninstall the app, all of the icons are removed from the phone.Upon a reinstall, all four show back up.

Now I have 2 activities that would simultaneously access one data/ settings. However, two kind of solution can be applied after I study from the Android Developer's Guild.One is ContentProvider, The discription in guild is as: "Content providers store and retrieve data and make it accessible to all applications. They're the only way to share data across applications; there's no common storage area that all Android packages can access."and another is SharedPreferences, "To use preferences that are shared across multiple application components (activities, receivers, services, providers), you can use the underlying Context.getSharedPreferences() method to retrieve a preferences object stored under a specific name."

In my current application design, I have an activity class application.java (which starts on launching the application), and it does not have a layout(UI screen). I call another class called servicebind.java from the onCreate method of my 1st class. here I bind to the local server (bindServer()). i call back the application class through an intent. Once I am back to my application class, I call my activity class called welcome.java which has a layout/UI. When I run this application, I am able to see the welcome screen. But the problem is, when I click on the back button, I get a black screen with just the title on top. I have to hit back button 3 times to exit the application.
The reason I see from the logs is that, the 1st 2 activity classes (application.java and services.java) does not get destroyed unless I hit the back button. So the 1st time I hit back button, the welcome activity gets destroyed. the next back button destroys the servicebind class and final back destroys the application class. Is the reason because these classes dont have a UI to display in the onCreate method. I do not want to change my design where I bind the service in the servicebind class and call the welcome activity in the application class.

Just switching to the Eris Droid phone and like it for the most part...what I don't like is it's email client. The GMail one works nicely, however, the Mail that comes on the phone doesn't allow you to select multiple messages and delete them..like outlook or the versamail client on a Palm device.

I need to write an Android application that allows a user to connect to multiple social networking sites like MySpace, LinkedIn, FaceBook etc. and fetch friends list.
I know that most of these applications have Java libraries or functionalities exposed as REST based WebServices. But since there is a lot of variety and disparity in the ways that these libaries are written or service that can be consumed, is there any single, integrated service or middleware component that I can use to provide a unified interface in my mobile application?

I just realized that I posted my last thread in The Lounge rather then Android Lounge which I intended to Makes sense why I haven't gotten any replies. Anywho, this is what I posted earlier Just signed up for your forum to ask for your recommendations for my first smartphone. Now, I'm leaning towards an android mainly because I don't want an iPhone and it seems like it has some great feature as well as a lot of potential.Now, the only issue is that I live in Canada and I'm with Rogers. (Sim cards)My current criteria is that I want a touch phone and it has to support a sim card. External qwerty keyboard is a bonus!I'm sure you all get requests like this all of the time but some help selecting a new phone would be great. I tried doing my own research on what phone to buy but I'm really not great with hacking phones and whatnot to make things work with my carrier but I'm willing to try.tl;dr:Need smartphone with sim card and touchscreen.

I had a Toshiba laptop which after years I sold it off. I am never a big fan of laptops in the first place as my desktop is better, faster and I use multiple screens as work computer. As far as I can tell I only need a portable computing device mainly for office programs like microsoft word and powerpoint, and data storage. I use photoshop but I don't think current smartphones can support it yet. I am reluctant to get a laptop as I know that it will be underutilised. Since my contract phone runs out in June 2011, should I wait for better stuff to come or get a smartphone now? What I really want is a a mobile phone with Sony Vaio P series minature laptop for occasional work. Am I asking too much for the current crop of smartphones?
