Android :: Need Droid Apps That Alter Normal Phone Operations
Feb 19, 2010
So i was wondering if its possible to for an application that i would write to be constantly running in the background and alter regular phone operations. For example this could be something like as soon as you receive a text from anyone you forward it automatically to another number. Is something like this at all possible? Just to be clear I don't want to solve that particular problem through some other means, just want to know if apps can accomplish that. Also if that is possible is it possible for an app that i write to alter more immediate and instant things, like an incoming call.

As above, are there any apps that can do this?A big bug bear of mine is that if im loading a particularly slow web page and want / need to be doing something else, if I open another app, effectively sending the browser to thr back ground, loading of the page stalls until the browser is called up again.It's not a big deal, but being so used to my blackberry loading pages in the background, I kind of miss it.

I have an ongoing problem with my Droid that apps will crash if they are not used for a period of time. I've been dealing with it so far by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This morning Google Voice started crashing and I was unable to make a call, so I uninstalled Google Voice, made the call I needed to make, and then reinstalled Voice. While going through the setup, the app crashes and force closes when attempting to sign in. This is not the only app I have problems with. The Amazon MP3 service force closes at random times, and it seems every app I install eventually has to be reinstalled because it starts force closing after a period of time. I do all the normal troubleshooting like clearing the cache and restarting the phone, and it usually doesn't fix it. Is this normal for this phone or do I have a bad one? It's really becoming an annoyance...

I'm just starting with Android development and I'm coming from JavaScript/HTML world so I'm currently investigating the possibilities of the Android SDK.
The HTML 5 canvas supports composite operations (See here).
Is this possible in an Android Canvas? I scanned the API of the Canvas class but couldn't find anything useful. I need at least the composite operation "source-in" or (if this isn't possible) "source-atop".

Is it possible to have low level access in Android with Java/NDK to create for example card scanner like scandisk or card defragmenter? I move a lots of stuff around my card and it gets fragmented quickly. I have experience with FAT32 defragmenting on Windows, but I'dliek to do this on Android.

When I make a new android project and I go to res/values/string.xml I get a screen to add android resources instead of a XML document. I keeps getting the error about : java.lang.NullPointerException.
Is there a way to just alter a XML file (like suggested in tutorials)?

My phone spent the better part of the day on charge at work. When I got into the car, it was flashing red at me and telling me to plug it into power now. After a 30 minute car ride, it was showing mostly green. This happened once before but I figured if I ignored it, it would go away.

I'm currently working with OpenGL ES 1.1 and using the DrawElements convention along with Vertex, Normal, Texture Coordinate, and Index arrays.
I recently came across this while researching the idea of using Normal/Bump mapping which I previously though impossible with OpenGL ES: http://iphone-3d-programming.labs.oreilly.com/ch08.html
I can generate an object-apace normal map already from my 3D modeler, but what I'm not completely clear on is whether or not the Normal coordinates array will be necessary any longer if implementing a 2nd texture unit for normal mapping, or will Lighting + Color Texture Combined with a Normal map via the DOT3_RGB option be all that is required?
EDIT - After researching DOT3 Lighting a bit further, I'm not sure if the answer given by ognian is correct. This page, [url] gives an example of it's usage and if you look at the "Rendering & Final Result" section bit of code, there is no normal array ClientState for Normal Arrays is never enabled.
I also found this post here,[url] which explains it well... but leads me to another question. In the comments, it's stated that instead of translation of normals, you translate light direction. I'm confused about this as if I have a game with a stationary wall... why would I move the light around just for one model? Hoping someone can give a good explanation of all of this...

I keep having this minor problem when usin msn talk on my galaxy s, nothing really big but anyhow. When I log in with my phone it changes my display name to something that I can change on my phone, but because I can't get any really special characters to work (well actually just one, D with a stroke) I can't get the same name on my phone as my normal msn on computer has. Okay well I could live with that, but when I log off from my phone it doesn't revert the change but it changes the display name on my computer's msn too! It gets really annoying to change my display name every single time I log in with my computer. And it does the exact same thing with my personal message. So the question is, can this be prevented in any way? ps: does anyone know how I can get that stock sms app to mark every sms as "read" when I've responded?

I have tried to find a way to update the Android Preferences dynamically. Under the /res/xml directory I have placed a XML file with CheckBoxPreference elements. During application usage some of the preferences CheckBoxPreference elements may vary in numbers. Sometimes there may be 10 items and at other times there may be 35. I have tried to place the XML file in the /assets diectory (where read and write is possible) and then tried to replace the R.xml.<XMLFileName> in the addPreferenceFromResource(R.xml.<XMLFileName>) with the Assets file - but that won't work.
Is it in anyway possible to write to, during runtime programmatically, the XML files placed in the /res directory - and if - how do we do that? Is it possible - programmatically - to create and delete the entries in the preferences - thereby omitting the XML file?

I have an Options Menu on my Activity with an MenuItem "Start". When this MenuItem is selected I would like to alter the Menu so it contains a MenuItem "Stop". And finally when "Stop" is selected, I would like to alter back to "Start". Here is parts of my code that isn't working. I have both "Start" and "Stop" listed in mymenu.xml I should probably remove "stop" when the menu is created:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private boolean isStarted = false;
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
menu.removeItem(R.id.stop);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.mymenu, menu);
return true;....................

I'm developing a Android AppWidget for my application. For updating my appwidget I need to download data from network. But when I try to do that in onUpdate method, my appWidget is killed by Android system. I learnt that time consuming operations can't be done in receivers so I launched a service from onUpdate method and launched a thread from that. But still the problem persists.
Can anyone please let me know how to do network operations in Appwidget?

When you pick up the call and switch the screen to MediaPlayer to play an audio, it is able to be heard from handset (receiver). Thus, you can hear the far-end voice and your local music at the same time. Is it a normal behavior? Android seems not to have the mechanism to let Mediaplayer to remember its status (to keep music pause or mute?) in the phone call. Or this is a normal design for notification sounds, such as a call- waiting sound? Is it possible to have an secondary gain feature like windows mobile in the future?

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.my_list);
mDbHelper = new MyDbAdapter(this);
mDbHelper.open();
fillData();
registerForContextMenu(getListView());....................
The date is actually stored as an int in the SQLLite database, and thus it displays as an integer. Does anyone know a way to create a date from the int so it doesn't display as 1216544611 (or whatever) but as "12/11/2009 11:32"?

OK I'm reading this page:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#thre...
The code is as in the example (see below). In my application, the worker thread has done loading of large bitmaps, and I need to notify the UI thread the filename of the bitmap that was loaded as they get loaded. How can I notify the UI thread of the filename of the bitmap just loaded? I can see anyway to for updateResultsInUi() to be able to take a parameter from the example below.
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
[ . . . ]
// Need handler for callbacks to the UI thread final Handler mHandler = new Handler();
// Create runnable for posting final Runnable mUpdateResults = new Runnable() { public void run() { updateResultsInUi();
} };
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
[ . . . ]
} protected void startLongRunningOperation() {
// Fire off a thread to do some work that we shouldn't do directly in the UI thread
Thread t = new Thread() { public void run() {
mResults = doSomethingExpensive();
mHandler.post(mUpdateResults);
} };
t.start();
} private void updateResultsInUi() {
// Back in the UI thread -- update our UI elements based on the data in mResults
[ . . . ]
}

I'm developing an Android application with database storage.
I want to test some classes that I use to access database.
I've found ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 to test Activities but I haven't found anything to test classes.
How can I do that? I haven't used jUnit before.

I have a multiplechoice dialog on my activity. I have a boolean array to keep track of which items are selected from the dialog. So I want each time an item is clicked to make the corresponding place on my array true. The array is being created in the onCreateDialog before the return.
public Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
userlistlocal=getuserlist(username);
boolean[] usernamechecked=new boolean[userlistlocal.length/3];
Arrays.fill(usernamechecked,false);
return new AlertDialog.Builder(Newevent.this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_menu_invite)
.setTitle("Add People")..........

I've read this in a few articles, that one should avoid floating point operations within the physics update of a game.
But how do you really achieve this? Surely all half decent games are going to involve this kind of maths?
Does it mean, convert all your variables to int, or use double instead, or simply just cut it out as much as possible?
