Android : Need To Invoke Skype From WebView?
Oct 17, 2010
I need to invoke skype application and make a call from skype when a 'skype me' link (eg: skype://1866012345) is clicked from a webview. Can someone help how to do this?
I tried the following:
Downloaded skype application from market (in my driod 2.2).
When launching skype, the package invoked is 'skype.android.raider' - as per ADB logs.
So I tried invoking a ACTION_VIEW intent with cmp=com.skype.raider/.ui.call.SplashScreenActivity or cmp=com.skype.raider/.ui.call.SkypeOutCallActivity
and data=Uri.parse("skype://1866012345"). These did not work.
(I also did find a few posts suggesting to use skypelite component, but I guess I should ve skype lite installed for that, which could not find in the market. I assume skype lite is not in market anymore.)
(Also, i have to be able to make a phone call or email when corresponding links are clicked from WebView. As of now, I have added custom handling for each of these, but wondering if webview by default would not support it. Is there any webview setting to be enabled t do this? Any idea??)

Here is what I would like to do:
I have an HTC Magic and I have a couple of contacts who I frequently talk with on skype. Is there anyway to talk with them skype-to-skype on the Android phone?
The Skype Lite app does not allow calling.
I don't mind either calling using my local minutes OR using my data plan.
Are there any other applications that could assist me with this?

My dad is going overseas and has a BlackBerry Storm with Skype and I have a Droid with Skype. Can I call him overseas for free using skype? I know that if we both used our laptops to talk it would be free, so is there any difference in using skype mobile to skype mobile?

Sorry if this sounds like a really stupid question, but I'm really struggling to understand the Search Manager documentation. How do I actually invoke a search from the hardware search button in my application? I've added the relevant code to the Manifest file, but pushing the button has absolutely no effect. The API is very unclear - is this something that should be handled automatically from the Activity class, or have I got to override something? Have I got to include a hardware key listener?

I'm trying to make an app where a button will invoke a web service's API call (it'll be my own web service; the call/functionality is not relevant). I know how to make a new listener that invokes an activity, but that is insufficient here since I'll still need to make a call out to a web service through it. What is it I'm doing here? Is this a service that I'm looking at? content provider that I'll be invoking that somehow gets data from a web service?

I am interested in getting some RIL information from the system. It seems that I may be able to get those RIL related values via RIL_RadioFunctions (onRequest particularly). Is there any way I can invoke these functions from the Android SDK or NDK?

I build a website for phones like android and iphone,when users click an url , is it possible for me to invoke some system build in activities like Dialer or SMS)?I want to implement this cause I hope when user click the link with phone number,user can start to call directly. it will open the market app and lead me to the app I search. so I think if we format the url in some way ,maybe it can also open the Dialer app in Android.I know it must be another case when it comes to Iphone,but currently,it is fine enough it works with Android,any one ,any idea ?

I'm new to Android & Eclipse. I've downloaded Eclipse and the Android ADT and created an ultra-simple "Hello World" app (has only auto-generated .java and .xml files). Eclipse CRASHES (closes after a very brief pause) when I do the following: In Package Explorer, select AppName/res/layout/main.xml Press, or double-click, or 'Open With' then 'Android Layout Editor' (The app runs OK in the Android emulator) My configuration is:
Android Development Tools 0.9.5.v200911191123-20404 com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers 1.2.2.20100216-1730 epp.package.java
Windows XP
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what's wrong with my configuration? Any suggestions on what to check? For any non-trivial app development I need to be able to use the Layout Editor. More ... I can select main.xml and Right-Click and 'Open With' any of: XML Editor, XML Schema Editor, Text Editor -- with no problem. The problem is limited to Android Layout Editor.

I have a custom view that draws to a canvas. I am trying to invoke changes to the canvas when the user pushes a button from the activity that this view is tied to. Currently, I am attempting to do this by calling a public method, called setNewDrawable, that I created inside the view.
The debugger is giving me different values for the view ID depending on whether I'm inside setNewDrawable or inside the Overridden onDraw method when I post an Invalidate.
For example the debugger variables show: (This - MyView id=830067720176) or (This - MyView id=830067712344) in setNewDrawable and onDraw respectively. This makes me think I basically have two copies of the object and I am essentially interacting with the wrong one.
How can I get information to my custom View in order to determine what it draws?
Here is the code I am running...

This question occured to me while programming a Android application, but it seems to be a general programming question more.
The situation is, I am extending (subclass-ing) an class from a library, and overriding a method. how do I know if I should invoke the method of super-class? and when? (in the beginning of the overridden method or in the end?)
For example, I am overriding the method "public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)" from class "Activity" in Android platform. And I saw someone write "return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)" in the end of the method, in an example. But how do I know it should be done this way? and it is correct or not? what's the difference if I begin my method with "super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)"?

I have recently hit a snag using the Android plugin to Eclipse. For some reason, ALL of my errors being thrown don't initialize and show me the error. Has anyone ever seen this issue before and if so, what did you do to correct it? In particular, I am seeing it when I try to invoke the HTTPGet in a HTTPClient object. If I have no connectivity, then I should get an error. The Catch block does fire when this occurs...however, when I check my general Exception object, the object is NULL (NULL Pointer). Why would this happen if the catch is grabbing the exception?
My exceptions used to be working and I was able to see the stack trace. However, I can no longer see any stack trace regardless of the Exception class I am using. Can someone please help me understand what the heck is wrong with Eclipse, Android, or both? Is there something I am missing on the configuration side?...is this a bug? Mind you, I have already used Stack Overflow for this question. It has been viewed 40 times but no answer yet.
