Android :: Pulling Specific Information From XML Files Quickly
Jul 23, 2010
I have 50 XML files located on a remote server, one formatted for each state. I am able to read each of the 50 files by selecting a state from a spinner and using a SAX parser but I cannot seem to find out how to pull out information from each file by city. I have tried unsuccessfully to pass a city variable to the characters method of the Handler.
Each state has thousands of records and I am looking for a way to speed up the search since reading the entire file for a state takes several minutes. I used SAX since it was supposed to be the fastest way to read but it limits me in selecting specific information. If I understand things correctly I could use a DOM parser to find my state and city specific data but that would make retrieval even slower.

In my application when a user clicks on a button I want to open the contacts application and display a particular contacts information. At the minute I have this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, People.CONTENT_URI);
startActivity(intent);
This displays the contact application with all the contacts displayed. But how do I get it to display just one contact according to the contacts name or number?
This Code works: (answer)
Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(People.CONTENT_URI, 23);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, contactUri);
startActivity(intent);

I have a custom View that I'd like to specify the layout of in an XML file rather than through code, is there anyway I can take an Android XML layout file and use it to flush out my custom View's content? I know it can be done in an Activity via the setContentView method, but there doesn't seem to be a similar method for Views.

I am a Mac user (photographer/ videographer). I also rely heavily on my iPod Touch when mobile (i can often find a wifi signal when i am out and about). I use iCal on the Touch and iCal on my Mac as well as the address book on both everyday and as a Mobile Me user, my two devices sync so everything is mirrored and up to date. I also HATE AT&T for their terrible signal strength and coverage and have been a loyal Verizon customer for many years and this is why I don't have an iPhone. Okay, all that being said, is there an easy way to still use everything I love and rely on with my Mac (the calender and address book, mainly) and easily sync all of my existing information and future info to an Android based device? How easy is it to use an Android device with a Mac? I don't want to have to manually re-enter my entire address book into a new device.

I'm using the following code to grab images from the web. It uses Gridview and depending on position, picks a URL from an array. It works but the loading of images is often hit or miss. Almost every time I start the app, a different number of images load. It also has issues when changing from portrait to landscape view, 5 out of 10 images may be displayed then I'll turn the device and usually lose all the images. Sometimes a few do show up though. Any ideas on making this more robust?
try { URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();
conn.connect();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);
bis.close();
return bm;
} catch (IOException e) { Log.d("DEBUGTAG", "error...");
} return null;

I have had androids for over two years now and am getting more and more concerned every time I download an app and seeing that it wants to READ my SMS message and Contacts.
Is there a way I can disable reading of SMS messages or any one of the other permissions by specific apps, or all apps?
Are we living in a world where any "joe schmo" can upload an app the to the app store and wait for those inadvertent downloads and collect all your personal information, and that's after all the time we spend protecting our identity and personal details?

I was wondering what the best approach is on Android to retrieve information from a HTML page hosted on the internet? For example I'd like to be able to get the text from the following page at the start of each day:http://www.met.ie/ forecasts /sea-area.asp I have been downloading and parsing XML files but I have never tried to parse information from a HTML type file before.Is there a native way to parse the information I want?Or do I need a third party library?Or do I need to look into screen scraping?

After I updated to android 2.2 awhile back when it came out, I started having trouble with my pull down notification screen. Simply put if I'm holding the phone vertically the notification screen turns horizontal like I was holding it in widescreen. Anybody know how to fix it? I did the leveling thing a few times? Also, I have the default clock set up but it says I'm in a city that is about 15 miles from where I actually am which is throwing off my auto wi fi enabler. I have my location set up to be determined by GPS and network. Do I need to turn one of those off or do something else? Also, can somebody tell me where on the phone I can change the battery warning and yellow and red indicators to different percentages?

I have had my phone freeze up a few times now. I might be running a lot with my live wall paper but it seems to be happening a lot lately. Is pulling the battery bad for your phone or should I just wait the few min till it reboots ? And one more question will the phone always reboot it self ?

I got the upgrade to Froyo yesterday AM.Twice during the day it unlocked and I had a msg "Loading" while my icons loaded. Then this morning it did the same thing, but it didn't have the name of the program under the icon, plus my buttons for "Phone" weren't there.So I pulled the battery and it was back to normal.I've never really had these issues prior to the upgrade, but if rebooting is a part of the process then I'm curious if there is a way to reboot without having to pull off the case, separate the back door and pull the battery out. Anyone know?

I have two questions about the N1. Whenever I forward emails from the native email app they forward as attachments. This is not acceptable in a corporate environment. I cant find a setting for this, am I missing one or is this the intended functionality? Also, I tried cc'ing a distro group in an email today, and it would not pull the group off exchange, so I had to switch back to my iphone to send to the proper audience.

I'm running into some issues with the HTC Mail client and I'm about ready to throw fits.I've configured my work IMAP email account, but it's not pulling any emails down to the inbox.I get the 'No mail' message when there is most definitely mail there.I can send from the account just fine, and the sent items feed back to the server w/out any problems.I've tried deleting the account and reconfiguring same result.Any way to start from a clean slate in the HTC Mail client w/out wiping the entire unit? I have configured another user's phone (same exact phone) on the same email system and theirs worked as expected adding to the frustration!

I love this app. only thing that bugs me is that it's pulling almost everything i think that's an image file on my sd card... It's pulling my mp3 tags and that causes the app to slowly load them in. i tried putting a file named .nomedia on the root of my music folder, but that prevents the music app from loading the music. does anyone know a way around this?

I use the @ email account to pull my work email (ghetto bizmail through yahoo). The gmail app works great for my gmail and the 3 accounts I access through it for personal email. The other email account will go hours without checking and unless I open it and refresh it won't get them at all. I have it set to check every 5 min.
I am wondering if it has something to do with advanced task killer? I have added "email" to the ignore list but I am not sure if that will do the trick.

I have a question regarding the mail feature of the Droid. I have three accounts setup. One Gmail, one Yahoo and one Hotmail (yep...I like all flavors).
I can send and receive mail without issue but for some reason with the Yahoo and the Hotmail account, the Droid will seem to pull "old" email back onto the device and mark it as new and light up the indicator. This gives then shows that I have new mail but it really isn't new but it is old, previously read email that has been deleted and pulled back onto the device.

Quite often we meet a new person, and we want to get each other's phone number. Back when I had my old non-smartphone it was easy, I enter the number press a button and there's an option to save it as new contact, I don't even need to enter a name till later.
I have a HTC Desire running Android 2.2, what's the best way to quickly record a phone number?
I always found it frustrating when someone asks for my number, I begin to say it then they go "wait wait hang on", while they fiddle with the menus to add a new contact. Now it seems I'm on the same boat!
