If anyone can help me with some information if there is a way to make an application on Android Dev Phone ask for permissions, like it does on G1. When I install an application on ADP, I only get the message "no permissions required", is there a way to make the ADP behave like a G1 phone?

I had an iPhone until I got the Droid yesterday. I absolutely love the Droid and would never go back to an iPhone. However, the iPhone integrated well with my car radio, which has a USB port. The radio can play from USB, but then I have to navigate my folders from the radio. It's difficult, unintuitive, and less functional than playing music directly from the phone.
Is there an app that would fake out a connected device to make it think the Droid was an iPhone, and would let me use the Droid's music player interface to play music through the USB?
I am developing a simple widget which has a couple of buttons in its layout.
Before the widget gets added, the configuration activity is displayed, where the user can choose if the widget makes any sounds when the buttons get pressed or not.
Thus, a user can put two instances of the widget, one where he chose sound to be activated and another where he chose the opposite. However, I can not seem to be able to reproduce the expected behavior (that one reproduces sound and the other doesn't).
The buttons' behavior varies according to the flags specified to the PendingIntent:
- FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT seems to override the previous intent/setting - no flags (0x00) seems to ignore any intent/setting after the first instance of the widget is put.
What I want to do: I want to be able to configure different instances of the same widget to behave in a different way, according to what the user specified in the configuration activity. I am attempting to do this with the help of the appWidgetId of each instance:
I have tried the following when assigning an action to the click of the button:
CODE:.................
This results in the first widget acting properly (The IDs printed in logcat are as expected) When adding a second widget, however, the first widget starts reporting the second widget's appWidgetId in its onReceive(), when it previously did no such thing. (because of the FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT, I guess)
How can one make different instances behave in a different way? Is there a way to do this with the help of the appWidgetId?
I have elaborated a widget application for the purpose of debugging this problem which tries to be minimal, while reproducing the (un) desired behavior: http://www.2shared.com/file/8243059/b6519584/IntentTesttar.html
I have a big background image for my views's background, which also can be tiled (it's repeadable).

Is this possible and how? Here is my current background definition:.............
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want an EditText to look like TextView but still behave like EditText. I've tried applying TextView style to my EditText in my layout.xml file, like this:
CODE:............
But I get an error within xml editor: "Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'style' with value '@android:style/ Widget_TextView')." It is strange because @android:style/ Widget_TextView definitively exists - I double checked it in code via android.R.style.Widget_TextView. Another strange thing is that I don't get android:style offered in the xml editor while typing? There is android:id, android:text and everything else.. but not android:style?
I consider the hard way (making EditText look like TextView) to be: extending EditText and overriding it's onDraw method.
I have a program that fails to start. When I remove this line of code from the startup it starts with out error... db = SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(data, cf); data is a file that has been made, I have tried multiple locations none worked. cf is a cursor factory. This worked perfectly before version 1.0 and also when put in a try/catch statement still errors out. It is the process has stopped unexpectedly error. Any thoughts as to what permissions I could give the app to make this work? Am I heading in the wrong direction?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get a simple vibration working and according to the api docs(http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Vibrator.html) all I need to use is this: public void vibrate (long milliseconds)
Turn the vibrator on. Parameters milliseconds How long to vibrate for.
However the behavior I am seeing is not what is described. Instead of a number of milliseconds, it seems this parameter translates into an "intensity"?
I tried: vibrator.vibrate(200);
And I got a sustained vibration which didn't stop until I exited my app. Initially I thought perhaps the api docs were wrong and the parameter was seconds, not milliseconds, so I tried: vibrator.vibrate(2);
This time I got the same behavior, i.e. continuous vibration, but the vibration was very gentle.. almost in-perceptible. This leads me to conclude that the parameter translates into an intensity, not a time.
Is it possible that this is a "feature" of the particular device? In my case HTC Desire.
I'm running 2.1 as my crappy telco hasn't distributed an update to 2.2, but it worries me that this behavior may differ from device to device.
I have a widget that acts as a launcher on the home screen. How can I make it behave like a launcher icon?
I use this layout for portrait:
CODE:................
And this is the background selector:
CODE:................
This way if I use the DPAD the widget is focusable but the click doesn't work. The touch still works but the widget is not displayed as focused.
I have a LinearLayout inside a HorizontalScrollView. The content is just a image. While scrolling, I need to achieve the same behavior you get when setting the paging option on a the iPhone equivalent of the HSW (scrolling the list should stop at every page on the list, not continue moving).
How is this done in Android? Should I implement this features by myself or there is a particular property to set or a subclass of HSV to implement?
The permissions say that you must agree to allow them to delete files from your storage including your SD card; must agree to allow them to extract any information from your phone, etc. In other words they can do any thing they want with your phone and the data in it.
Is there any way to not grant these permissions and still get updates?
There is this LG LII optimus series phone, it was bought at a physical reputable store, haven't been changed whats so ever (not a single new program was added).
I've just noticed that the alarm clock app that came preinstalled has the following permissions:
-Your personal information- read call logs,read your contacts.
-Network communication-full network access.
-Phone calls- read phone status and identity.
-System tools-
-Network communications- view network communications, wifi connections.
-Development toos- test access to protected storage.
-Hardware controls-
-Run at start up.
- Modify system settings.
I'm probably missing something...
I need to compile an application with system permissions in order to use target application com.android.settings. For now while I try to run my apk I get the error message
Test run failed: Permission Denial:
starting instrumentation
ComponentInfo{com.jayway.test/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner}
from pid=354, uid=354 not allowed
because package com.jayway.test does

How can I compile my application with system permissions?
I have noticed in an application I wrote, in-spite of me not specifying any permission in the manifest file, the application throws up permissions granted, such as
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
What is all that about? I was not even aware my application needs to write into external store, and I am pretty sure it doesn't need to. So why are these permission being granted when I never requested for them?
My android app has nothing to do with phone calls, but I'm seeing that when I install a debug build on my test device it requires "Phone Calls: read phone state and identity" permissions. (I make no mention of this in AndroidManifest.xml). I'd like to have the minimum possible permissions, and wondered if anyone knew how to get rid of this? I commented out the part where I was logging some stuff from Build.MODEL, Build.VERSION.*, etc. I also commented out the part where I was detecting the landscape/portrait orientation thinking that that might be the "phone state". But neither of those seemed to remove that permission required.
I found this bug report but it's marked working-as-intended with a note about permissions being correct from the market but not otherwise. Is this other people's experience? (I'd hate to have to publish to the market just to test that out.) Otherwise, does anyone know if there's an API I can avoid calling that will make it so my app doesn't need this permission?
I am thinking about converting my web apps into Android apps to reach the Android market. I do not have an Android phone. Can someone tell me how I can possibly get a Google developer phone (other than going to Google I/O, etc)?
I realize this is somewhat of a ridiculous request but I have read blogs of people being enticed by google and offered a free phone to convert their web apps into Android apps. So I figure there is no harm in asking.
I am also wondering what the cost of the developer phone is once you pay your $25 to enter the android market place as a developer through the developer account.
Can you make your android phone generate wifi? Is there an app or method to make your android phone act as a wifi hotspot? I have pda net for my laptop, but was wondering if I could hook up my Wii with wifi.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was following the directions of this thread trying to install notifications toggles to my phone. Used root explorer. However, l changed the permissions on the wrong file or folder, it seems, as the phone just displays the logo and reboots, caught in a loop.
What files and folders has to have which permissions? How can I change them if I can't boot my phone? I don't have any mod other than Root, as this was the first I was trying to use, as I have to have better access to the toggles.

I updated my Eris to 2.1 about a month ago, and it's been running fine up until about last week. Lately, the battery hasn't been lasting me more than 12 hours, and I've done everything I can to save battery life, plus the battery cover usually gets hot enough to cook some eggs on top of. The problems I've encountered lately is with making and receiving calls. When trying to call someone, it seems to take forever. I know my phone isn't the fastest Android, but it used to work fine. It takes a good 30 seconds just to type in a 10 digit number; the phone usually freezes a couple of times, its just generally laggy.
When I try to receive a call, the same basic thing happens. The phone freezes up while I am trying to slide the bar down on the lock screen, etc. Here's the main issue. After sifting through the freezing and lagging, and finally get to the call, I cannot hear anything, and they cannot hear me. The call is connected; I see the notification up top, and I have got the vibrate to tell me it's connected.
