Android : Need UK Specific Applications?
Jul 18, 2010
Can anyone suggest applications that are made for UK users? The two things I am looking for are UK weather and UK radio.
I like weather bug but the additional features are US only. Are there any that will show UK Radar? I have tried beebplayer but it connects only 1 in 20 attempts at best. I works like to listen to the bbc radio stations only.

I have had androids for over two years now and am getting more and more concerned every time I download an app and seeing that it wants to READ my SMS message and Contacts.
Is there a way I can disable reading of SMS messages or any one of the other permissions by specific apps, or all apps?
Are we living in a world where any "joe schmo" can upload an app the to the app store and wait for those inadvertent downloads and collect all your personal information, and that's after all the time we spend protecting our identity and personal details?

I have the following code in my application in res/xml/preferences.xml:
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Wi-Fi settings">
<EditTextPreference
android:key="pref_voice_threshold_top"
android:title="@string/title_pref_voicetopthreshold"
android:dialogTitle="@string/dialog_title_pref_voicetopthreshold"
android:defaultValue="20" android:inputType="number"/>
</PreferenceCategory> </PreferenceScreen>
And I was wondering is it possible for me to then use this preference in code so I can update it via downloading an xml file? So I currently display the above preference in a PreferenceActivity, which works fine, however I want to be able to update the setting by downloading a new setting every week from the internet. So my question is how do I open this preference in code and set its value to the new downloaded value?

What i like about nokia is the pc suite(the older version) it syncs automatically with bluetooth. (files, pictures etc) and can read sms messages.
What ive read so far, theres no alternative on android?
Bluetooth handsfree- The current n82 connects fine to the car stereo,- and can accpets calls etc.
This seems to be a problem on android,-dependent on phone and android version. Is this correct?
Regarding programs, i have a call manager with whitelack lists, answering machine and scheduler. And a program that can record conersations.
Are there any android programs that can do the same thing?

I'm looking for a notepad app that, well, looks like an actual notepad. I'm currently using AK Notepad cu z I like how the notes are written on note looking paper, but when you open up the application, all the titles of your notes are just displayed in a black screen. I'm kinda looking for an app, like let's say I put: "stuff to buy," I want the title to also be written on notepad paper, and then when I click on it, the info of my notes will also be written on notepad paper.

I've searched through the forums and tried a lot of notes apps, but I am yet to find one to my requirements:
- Should have widget support (I need to put some notes on my homescreen, not the note creation widget like 3bananas)
- Bluetooth sharing (or it stores the notes as .txt files on the SD card). Alternatively, it could sync with google in some way. If you know one that does these, please tell me. Else please tell me what app you're using, so that I can try it if I haven't already.

Is the android:id="@+id/somevalue" specific to the xml file in which it is defined, or the whole android project? If it is project-wide, it seems like I have a lot of id's to come up for text fields. For example I have to name my "title" field like "title1" and "title2" etc.

Is there a way to create an app specific soft keyboard on Android? After reading about InputMethodService docs and checking out alternative keyboard apps out there, I figure the alternate keyboard can only be configured for system wide usage (through Settings -> Locale and Text).
If the answer to above question is no, then is there at least a way to load a custom dictionary and override the default dictionary of the system keyboard (only when my app is in use)? That will help in giving very relevant suggestions to the user when he has only tapped couple of keys.

I have got a TabActivity, which has 4 Tabs right now. The first Tab is a special Details-Tab, where the user could modify some data.
The problem is, that if I add a OptionsMenu for the Activity, that the OptionsMenu is appearing on every Tab.
I tried to check the current mTabHost.getCurrentTabTag() in the onCreateOptionsMenu but that changed nothing.
So, how to do that?
(The following code, which still shows the OptionsMenu on every Tab)

I am creating a simple Android widget with a typical usecase of having many instances of it running at once.
Using the stock preferencesmanager, it seems each instance of the widget shares the same preferences.
Is there any way to not have this happen?

(HTC Desire)
I've tried a number of players (built in, tunewiki, btunes, meridian, mixzing etc) and they all have good features but I can't find anything with all the features I want, any recommendations based on features below..?
Proper lock screen integration (like HTC player, not like btunes that sits on top)
Smooth coverflow style flicking of playing tracks (htc not bad, btunes bad)
Decent refresh without turning off phone (I update music via wifi and nothing so far handles refreshes well, even with a task kill)
Reads non standard genres (99% of my genres are custom and aren't read)
Support for png folder art
2x4 or 4x4 widget with folder/embedded art display

Is it possible to force Android to use a given LCD density value? For example, if the app is running on a WVGA phone that reports LCD density of 160DPI *and* screen size of 3.7inch, one of those two values must be wrong. Is it possible to tell Android to ignore the 160DPI value and use 240DPI instead (for my Activity only)?

Changing the locale for a device is done in the settings, and can't be done by an app AFAIK.I know how to force my own app to a specific locale,So now to my question. Can I force, programatically, the local of an activity that isn't mine?I can imagine 2 ways this could be possible:Specifying the locale in an Intent used to start the activity.
Access and manipulate the configuration of running activities (in the same way as I can modify my own activities' configurations).Any thoughts? Is it possible? Is it reasonable?
I guess 2. would be more direct, but require some kind of permission (e.g. the modified atcitiy must allow it in the manifest file). But I'd settle for 1. or similar.
What I want is to be able to see certain apps in a different language, but rather not change the system locale. E.g. the Android Market, that only displays comments in one language. Can't think of other things right now.Can't find much written on Locale in the documentation, what is and isn't possible. But hoping some undocumented feature might enable this :)

I've got a LinearLayout with a bunch of buttons on it. This panel is always hidden unless a menu item is chosen. When the LinearLayout is shown, I want to detect if the user clicks anywhere outside of the panel so that I can hide it again. Is there a way to do this, maybe with detecting focus changes? I've tried to add an OnFocusChangeListener to the LinearLayout itself (and called setFocusable(true) on it), but the focus change listener never gets called. Furthermore, I'd have to be able to detect if the LinearLayout or any of its children lose focus.

I have a custom View that I'd like to specify the layout of in an XML file rather than through code, is there anyway I can take an Android XML layout file and use it to flush out my custom View's content? I know it can be done in an Activity via the setContentView method, but there doesn't seem to be a similar method for Views.
