Is it possible to programmatially read the date when my Android apk was built? I could not find anything in the PackageInfo class.
I want to expire beta versions of my app and the easiest way would be to read out such a date and expire it after a fix preiode of days, so I don't have to update the code for that eavery time I build and deploy a beta version.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to access notifications while they arrive on status bar from my activity/service? If not maybe pool status bar periodically?
I want to access all possible notifications (including these from other applications), parse their text and use TTS engine to read them aloud. I would like to get 1:1 correspondence to notifications that are displayed on status bar, including ongoing ones (while they arrive/ are first seen).
I do not want to interfere with notifications in any other way. Just read them as they arrive.
I have done many of reverse engineering for other electronics in the past, Since Im new to android I was wondering before even wasting my time if is possible to port, or built a rom from sources or a phone thatis NOT External SD built in to a phone that it have the external sd built in.
Making it short can I try to reverse engineer the android code from a Nexus 5 (no ext_sd) to other device that have ext_sd built in?
If is possible where should I be looking to start trying making some development on this as I haven't done nothing close quite.
I have referred the article (at http://www.developer.com/article.php/3850276 ) for implementing the native calendar control, but i would like to display calendar also on the screen and also User can able to select date, and after selecting date user can also be able to event on that selected date.
So is there any way to display calendar (month view) in Android ?
I have an Android project that contains a class that uses JNI to pull a value from a C function. The C function was built into a library using NDK. The value returned from the C function is in turn used to initialize a variable inside a class when its first loaded. This works fine. However, I also want it to work when the library is missing by providing a default value. So Im using something like this..
Despite the catch, Im still getting a UnsatisfiedLinkError when I try to run this code with the library missing. Why am I not catching the exception? What am I doing wrong?
I download android source and build a sdk from it (via make sdk). I have also installed ADT on my eclipse. My question is how can I setup ADT to point to the SDK that i built (it keeps saying it can't find the 'tool' directory and then it can't find the 'adb' under tool).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am developing a small app for Android. I am creating my own view.
I am planning to design the layout to be:
<LinearLayout>

I have already tried to add android:layout_width, layout_height to be wrap_content, fill_partent, but no luck.

If date picker is not possible in Android, an option to choose a date is needed.
After heavy use for a couple of hours, the DroidX locks up requiring the user to pull the battery for a hard reset. That absolutely kills on the running apps. Clever design by the Moto software geniuses.

Anyways, if it requires a custom ROM to enable, then we're SOL until someone breaks the bootloader encryption or we have to use the free WiFi Tether for Root Users app which only supports Ad-hoc mode and WEP encryption, which basically is the same as no encryption really.

At the moment I am using the default htc email widget, however when ever I read an email from my gmail account it doesnt update the read status so it still shows as unread.
I would like one that would update the read status and possible the support for unified inbox so I can see new mail from hotmail account and gmail.
