In Android I get the version of the SDK easily (Build.VERSION.SDK) but I need to use LabeledIntent only if the platform is newer than 1.6 (>Build.VERSION_CODES.DONUT) I suppose that Reflection is necessary (I have read this link but it is not clear for a class or to me). This is the code but it gives me an exception because in my Android 1.6, the compiler verifies if the package exists even if the condition is not applied:
Intent theIntent=....;
if(Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK) > Build.VERSION_CODES.DONUT)
{
try{
Intent intentChooser = Intent.createChooser(intent,"Choose between these programs");
Parcelable[] parcelable = new Parcelable[1];
parcelable[0] = new android.content.pm.LabeledIntent(theIntent, "", "Texto plano", 0);
intentChooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, parcelable);
activity.startActivity(intentChooser);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
activity.startActivity(theIntent);
}
} else
{
activity.startActivity(intentMedicamento);
}
I'm having hard times parsing multiple different XML files on Android using the built-in SAX parser.
Nate and Aron Saunders have helped me with the right approach to this problem but I struggle in implementing it. You can read about it here.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3583876/how-to-parse-different-xml-files-using-sax-on-android
I have ten different XML files. code...
And so on. Every root tag is different. Now I know that I could branch the parser to trigger a different event on every root tag but I'm not quite sure I know how exactly do achieve this.
How would I tell my SAX handler that he should parse for AnotherInnerTag with its attributes based on the root tag?
I am looking for an app, that say when I go to bed at 2300, it auto silences. It goes back to loud at 0600. When I get to work at 0800, it silences again. Yet, when my GF calls, I want it to always override and ring no matter what time it is.Are there any programs like this that will work for what I want?
View 12 Replies View RelatedMy job takes me to the courthouse several times a week. If you forget to silence your ringer and the phone rings, the judge takes the phone and you have to travel back to the courthouse at the end of the day to recover it. The judge also gets really really mad and gives lots of grief. So I need a failsafe way to automatically turn off the ringer while in the courthouse. I read this thread Set profile by GPS location about a program named Locale, but it indicated that if the phone loses the GPS signal, Locale will automatically revert the phone to the default profile or some other profile. I come from a Symbian phone where the phone would "learn" every cell tower ID in a given area and then set the phone's profile upon getting a signal from one of those towers. The profile would stick, regardless of losing the signal, unless and until it got a signal from a different tower which was not on the list it had "learned" from the location area. That is failsafe. Is there anything for an Android based phone which will silence the ring on a failsafe basis?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to implement a functionality when i press the VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON simultaneously; i must be able to run a method code inside my Activity.
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
}
From my initial search; it seems that only one such key press event is acknowledged at a time in Android usng the onKeyUp method. Is it true?
In my Android phone, on simultaneously pressing POWER BUTTON as well as MENU BUTTON i am able to capture a screen shot.
Does this feature not acknowledge simultaneous key presses?
I am working on a game for android at the moment, and was wondering how i would change the screen depending on orientation.
So if the user turned the phone horizontally then the app would be viewed horizontally if you know what i mean
Also how would i make a timer, so if a button were pressed, how would i say stop for 2 seconds and then go to link?
I have a ListActivity and a MapActivity. I would like to launch either one of these activities on application startup that has been chosen by the user in a preferences window.
So far the only way I see to launch an activity on application startup is to specify it in the application manifest file using...code...
I am thinking I might have to start an activity that does nothing but looks at the user preferences and then launches either the ListActivity or MapActivity. Seems like a waste to have an activity do nothing but launch another activity. In my research I have not found any solution to this problem.
Depending upon the user i may need to move it to right ,left,top or bottom.
Should i use animation for the purpose?
Or is there any method to move image dynamically?
I meant the things in android application
I am developing game.i am displaying gun object center bottom of the screen.when user tap on screen i need to rotate gun that direction.i done rotating image.but when user tap on screen i need to rotate image that direction.

PS - Is there a way to save/export timeriffic settings/personal saved options?
View 6 Replies View Relatedso all guides have the wording
"If you have a bootloader version 0.75.xxxx or below AND a current ROM of 1.15.xxx.x or below download XXXX
if you have a bootloader version 0.80.xxxx or below AND a current ROM of 1.21.xxx.x or below download ZZZZ"
Maybe I'm missing something, but surely if the first statement is true then the 2nd statement must also be true, and so the first download link could be removed all together? Could a user rooting from 0.75 - 1.15 use the 2nd download link?
I've already rooted, but this has annoyed me since I saw it and just wondered if the 2nd download wording is correct or if it should be reworded somewhat.
What I did was create two .java files. One that can compile and run on a 1.5 phone (SDK3) and then one that works on 2.0(SDK5) So for this example i'll call the 1.5 file ExampleOld and the new one Example. I was wondering if i just made activity like this if it would work sort of like a "portal" and pick the activity to load depending on the SDK so there is no crash or compile errors. Are there any changes I should make to my code? Maybe anyone out there that's had to do this before.

We charge our EVO's (2 of them) each night using the wall plug and, of course, the light is green when we wake up. However, when we unplug them from the wall the battery charge percentage drops from 100% to about 92% within a few minutes without doing a thing. Now, at that time if I put it back on the charger but this time plugged into the USB on my computer it charges back to the 100% and then takes a long time to trickle down to the 92% (seriously, like 90 minutes including some usage in there). I know there's some differences in the 2 charging methods. The wall charger charges much faster. But, it appears to be giving a false sense of a complete charge. The USB takes much longer (almost like a trickle charge) but seems to last longer.Anyone else experiencing this? Have an answer? Solution?

Can you set the scenes to automatically switch depending on time of day on the phone? I'd definitely use them if at 8am Mon-Fri the scene switched to Work. At 6pm Mon-Thur it would be nice for it to switch to the default home screen. 6pm Fri I'd like it to switch to the Play scene. Is this a capability or do you have to change them manually via menu system?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there any app's out there that you can put your wifi 3g gps etc on a schedule. Mainly to turn off like 12:00 AM to save battery, and turn back on at whatever time you set? I know there are some that will turn your wifi and 3g (user set) off if your battery gets below a certain point (user set) but these are like $3.00. To me it seems like a rip off, since its such a simple app... Anyways does anyone know of an app like this, if not would anyone be interested in developing it? Seems simple for someone who knows how to create app's. The reason I think this would be better than the battery manager's that just shut your data wifi and gps off after your battery hits a certain % is because sometimes your battery will be just charged but you will go to sleep at night leaving your wifi/3g on and your battery will drain until it hits whatever %, then the manager will turn your data off. Meanwhile you just lost a whole lot of battery that you didnt need to.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere seems to be a couple of ways to go about having a background task being executed. My usecase is to have my app fetch a datafeed every x minutes, regardless of my gui is running, and regardless of whether the phone is sleeping or not. I use an alarmmanager to schedule an intent matching a broadcastreceiver. in the onRecieve method i start a service (startService), which spawns an AsyncTask. The task fetches data and stores it and then stopSelf() the service.
in the onRecieve method i aquire a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, before starting the service, and just before calling stopSelf() in the service, i release it again. Is this really the best way to do it? Do i even need the service in this scenario? I experience odd behaviour with this setup, where the setup works for hours and then suddenly stops, which makes it very hard to debug. Does anyone have a simple foolproof method to achive the same end?
