Android :: Need App To Block Popups In Browser?
Sep 1, 2010
Some of the sites I visit have what I believe to be flash overlays on them. They are usually things like "tell us about your experience on our site" or the like. Not really ads, but they often don't scale right and jump off the screen when I zoom in to dismiss them. Is there an app that can block these, without disabling flash? WebMD is an example of a site that does this, after you load a few of their pages. Theirs stays put, but is an example of the feature.

I've had this happen before, but now it's happening again. Whenever I open Advanced Task Killer or Astro, the apps popup a browser window and navigate to some ad (doubleclick) which loads a blank page. If I try to go back to the app, it just does it again. Anyone know how to stop it?

I just got my HTC Desire the other day and I'm looking for a family friendly Internet filter (aka. Web protection, Net safety, Internet security) app for my phone that will block any mature content from the devices browser. At the moment I can't find anything- but I know these forums are the best on the web- so, if a net family filter android app exists, I know someone on here will be able to tell me about it!

Anyone know how to block ads in the browser? It'd be nice if something would work. Also, what plugins are available for the browser so far?

Is it possible using the stock browser to not go to a mobile website? When I search certain websites it gives me the mobile version.
is there any way to block this and make it only go to the web version or atleast hide the fact from the internet that I am on a mobile device?

We have got all our own edit boxes etc. so we call the virtual keyboard from SDK 1.5 in the followng way (when the use selects one of our edit/text boxes):
Context c = getApplicationContext(); InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) c.getSystemService( Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE ); inputManager.showSoftInput(ourCanvasInstance, 0);
This works fine and even populates our edit boxes automatically upon key entry, we can dismiss it by calling:
inputManager.toggleSoftInput(0, 0);
The problem we have now is that we need to know the size of the virtual keyboard so that we can resize all our popups etc to fit within the area of the screen that is not covered by the virtual keyboard. Is there anyway of getting the height of the default virtual keyboard? I have noticed that android.inputmethodservice.Keyboard has access to the height but I can't seem to find anyway to access this, does anyone happen to know any useful pointers to be able to access the height of the VK?

I have a new Samsung Captivate, I switched over from a Samsung Vibrant, not a drastic switch.
I have installed Handcent SMS installed. I have the Handcent Popup and Notifications set. I have disabled the default messaging app's Notifications and Auto-retrieve. I no longer get notifications from the default but still get a pop up from both Handcent and the default. I still receive both the default app pop up and the Handcent pop up. I never had this problem with my Vibrant. I can't find anyway to stop this and am at a standstill.

I've searched the threads for this but have yet to find an answer. I installed Handcent and SMS Popup and every time I get a text, I get a popup from handcent and a popup from the stock messaging app. I tried everything that was said to fix the problem and all that did was stop the notifications from the stock app from coming up in the status bar. I'm still getting a popup from both apps and would like to just have handcent show up.

I have been using Handcent for awhile and really like it. But yesterday switched to Go SMS Pro to check it out and because I like some of the themes.
But I noticed, unlike Handcent or ChompSMS, it does NOT have a popup window with incoming text on the Lock screen! I like to check out my text and maybe send a quick reply without unlocking my phone.
I can't find the option anywhere in Go SMS Pro, so I think it doesn't have it. I'd like to continue using it, but I think I'll have to go back to Handcent for the Lock screen text.
Any way to have it pop up on the lock screen?

When you click a key on the Samsung keyboard you don't see the key-popup like on the iPhone or on a HTC device. Is there any way to change this keyboard?

I downloaded an external browser and I would like to use it as my default, so if I click on a link, it opens it up in the new browser. Is there a way to go about doing this?

Recently some jackholes have started spamming me texts with horoscope/dating/whatever ads. They send like 4 at a time about twice a day and I'm sick of it.
I saw a few market apps that claim to block sms/calls. Reviews on all were mixed good & bad. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with any or had a suggestion for an app to stop this madness.
Also curious if anyone knows how they actually block. Basically I want to know if I just don't get a notification, or it just doesn't show in messaging app/handcent, or if it really gets blocked - as in not actually sent to me and does not charge me for a text.
If all they do is stop the notification I can just use settings profiles for that. But I'd really like to not have them be charged to me. I am on a 250/month plan and might risk going over at the rate they're being sent.

I have to process some events given by a broadcast receiver. As kindly suggested by Mark M. a week ago, I am trying to send the intent to an intentservice in order to pass the data to be processed to another thread.
Looking at the doc, I can read abot onHandleIntent: "Only one Intent is processed at a time, but the processing happens on a worker thread that runs independently from other application logic. So, if this code takes a long time, it will hold up other requests to the same IntentService, but it will not hold up anything else.
What does it mean? Will the intents be queued and then processed one by one, or does it mean that the startService will block if the intentService is busy processing a previous intent?
And more (this is just my curiosity): What is the point in having a onStartCommand method in IntentService if the Intents must be processed in "onHandleIntent"?

We need to block ALL numbers incoming and outgoing (calls and texts) from a cell phone (of a teenager) with the exception of a few numbers. All applications we have researched block only certain numbers where we need to allow only a few telephone numbers to text or call incoming or outgoing from this cell phone.

Title pretty much sums up my question. I was wondering if there was any way to block flash ads with the default mobile browser? I know you can make them load on demand or, using Dolphin HQ, block some aspects of them using Ad block, but I was wondering if there was any way of blocking them outright. Please excuse me for not searching the forums very thoroughly before posting; the forum's search function isn't very mobile friendly.

Most of my work phone calls are unknown number and lately I kept getting a phone call from a private number every half hour or so and it only ring once then hang up. I want to block that private number but not the unknown, I tried couple of apps but it doesn't allow me to just block private number. I have to block unknown, private etc..

I've had my G1 for about a week and am still exploring all its possibilities. I've searched around on this forum and can't find anything regarding this. I have it set up to check my email once an hour to save on battery (not gmail, my Comcast account. I wasn't ready to sell my soul completely to Google just to use this phone!) I work on my computer all day and naturally read emails on the PC as they come in, and it's kind of annoying when 45 minutes later the G1 notifies me of an email that I've already read. Is there an app that will let you configure the phone to only retrieve unread emails? I've searched superficially in the phone but the menus seem pretty general and not able to do this.

I know there are some posts from the group have talked about this ( like https://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/there... and https://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/threa...), but I can not find exactly the official answer of this issue. in android market, there are some apps which can set up a black list and block the incoming call, see http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=block+call for details. is there something like backdoor or unkown api for blocking incoming call.

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to download gpx files on my htc desire. Several sites which hold these files seem to use something called index.php to get the download started and the phone simply says can't open this file. This seems pretty basic so am I missing something, did the developers deliberately not support this or is it just very hard to do on this sort of platform?
