Android :: RSS Reader With Nice UI And Native Reading Capabilities
Aug 6, 2010
Anyone knows of an RSS reader with nice UI, offline reading, and native (built-in) reading capabilities?
I tried feedR and NewsRob, but they both still need to jump to 'browsers' when I wanted to read full articles. This would mean their offline reading features would be useless to me. When commuting, I always had no signals, and it would be useless if I could only read short article because of no network receptions.

What is the best RSS reader? I want to be able to read full stories off line after they've been downloaded. I've tried AP Mobile and Express News, they both have ugly GUI and rarely update - properly. Looking for a nice GUI and some default feeds.

I'm coming from BlackBerry to Android and two favorite apps were Viigo and FreeRange with their built-in full article reading support. Is anything available for Android with similar functionality. Opening up a browser to read full articles is so clunky. I'd be willing to pay for one. I've tried some of the existing free Android offerings, but they all open full versions in a browser.

I'm porting to Android. My existing project has a ton of resource files that I'm porting into my Android project. I have them all in /res/raw/, and I would like to access those resources in my native library with functions such as fopen() and such. Can this be done, or do I have to go through JNI for this as well? I would really prefer not to, for ease of porting and possible speed and memory reasons.

I am trying to find a News Reader and find that most of them seem to rely on feeds from Google Reader and seem not to recognise UK based feeds (or at least I cannot find the same feeds that I used on my iPhone).

I use ant to do release builds, and eclipse to do all my debug builds. With the new 1.5 sdk, my build.xml overides the resource-src target in order to perform some additional tasks, and it then depends on android_rules.resource-src to get the proper toolchain behaviour.This works well for ant, but eclipse doesn't seem to know where android_rules comes from (not surprising since it is dynamically imported via code), and thus says there is an error in the file. This in turn stops the entire android project from building. So I need to either somehow get eclipse to parse the build.xml properly, or better still, get eclipse to ignore the build.xml altogether since build.xml takes no part in the eclipse build.

I'm looking for a nice looking, functional SMS widget. I'm currently using the one from Beautiful Widgets, but as much as I like the other widgets in that package, I think the SMS one is painfully ugly and doesn't fit with anything else on my home screen. I know I could have Handcent do popup notifications, but I would prefer to have a widget like the one I currently use that sits on the home screen.
Something skinnable would be preferable, but if nothing like that exists, then perhaps a simple, minimalistic or universal design.
Anybody know of anything that I might like? I'm willing to pay for a good one, it doesn't have to be a freebie.

I have an imageview which has a photo taken with the camera as its background and a frame as it's foreground (src). In that way the photo is positioned behind the frame so the photo get's a nice border.
The imageview is a square (265x265dip). Now the problem is that photos taken are rectangular and thuse they are squeezed into the imageview making them look akward.
So how can I crop the bitmap of the photo so it is fitted as a square so I can then put it as a background for the imageview?

My app has a tabhost with four tabs, and now I'm trying to make nice layouts for landscape mode. In order to make use of additional horizontal space I want to put TabWidget at the right side of the screen, and of cource all tabs must be one under another (like in a column).
But when switching to landscape mode all tabs get aligned in a row, it looks quite ugly. How to fix that?

Why isn't there a gas app for the U.S? I would think with having GPS capabilities, that someone would create one using Google maps and possibly using GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada for prices.

I have tried a lot of notes apps, but all of the widgets are just single icon space widgets. I would like a full screen widget for simple notes. Anyone know of a good one? This is not for taking notes at like school, but for quick reminders, etc.

We are developing a software suite that heavily involves user interaction. We'd like to have a nice touch-based user interface, very similar to that of Android. Are there any libraries or other ways to easily build and use such user interfaces for own applications. We mainly develop in C++, but things in Python or Java or even something web-based..

Is not possible to use a cellular card on a laptop that runs the emulator to access the Internet? if the emulator can access the network if the laptop is using wi-fi or cables I am assuming it can still do the same regardless of what technology is used to connect the laptop to the network correct?

Android platform and actually mostly interested in the browser. I created http://www.jqtouch.com/ in hopes of developing a web-based cross-device application framework — but I'm running into a lot of issues with Android. Does anyone know of any good resources which describe the features/implementation of WebKit on Android? At first glance, it appears it doesn't support HTML5, nor certain -webkit CSS3 extensions like gradients or transitions. Does support certain other WebKit features like opacity, etc.
Most of my searches are coming up futile, because I end up seeing generic info about Android having WebKit, or technical pieces specific to embedding WebKit in native apps — but no good documentation on general WebKit features available. Again, I'm new to the platform, so I apologize if this information is in the clear...

There are return values and such that allow handling if SensorManager sensors and location providers aren't available, but what about the camera and microphone for audio recording? Is there a way to detect those in software, or are we just to assume that every device running Android (even the rumored set-top box) is going to have a camera and microphone and try to use them?
In the case of the camera, it would seem that Camera.open() returning null would indicate the lack of hardware. I don't know if that assumption is valid or not, though, considering it isn't documented as such.
In the case of the microphone, though, I don't see anything that could possibly be checked. The same goes for the camera if you're wanting to do video with the MediaRecorder class.

I'm planning a mini road trip this weekend and I want to use it as a way to test out the GPS capabilities on the phone? I'd like to be able to replace my Magellan entirely. The maps are a bit out of date and it would be nice to have one less device to carry around.
I tried both NDrive and GMaps. I was unimpressed with both of them. Both were much more difficult to program than my Magellan when I tried programming them manually. NDrive was confusing to set up in the first place. GMaps worked quite nicely with voice programming, but I have no clue what commands I've got beyond that. NDrive didn't support this at all. On my Magellan I can give voice commands and have it pull up the POIs at the next exit so I can see not only where the next gas station is, but where the next gas station is after that. (Extremely useful if you're on an eighth of a tank and don't know if you must stop at this exit or if there's another gas station 2 miles down the road.) The voice for GMaps is extremely annoying.
I prefer free of course, but I'm more than willing to pay for a quality app if I can test it out before hand and make sure it does what I need it to do. Ideally I want the following:
Voice programming - I want to be able to say "Go to 1234 Main st" or something similar and it go.
Easy manual programming - I want to be able to easily enter destinations manually.
Trip planning - I want to be able to program multiple destinations. I recently went to Chicago. With my Magellan, I was able to program all the places I wanted to go before hand so I just had to click on the tourist trap I wanted to see and it directed me there.
Voice activation while driving - I drive alone most times. I'd like to be able to not have to take my eyes/attention off the road to search for the closest fast food place or gas station.
Integration with the other parts of the OS - I want it to do the standard things like mute the music when it gives voice prompts and turn it back up when it's done, mute voice prompts when the phone rings, etc. Any ideas on apps that will do all this?

I have a need to classify the device on first run to set some default settings for my games. This is my first time doing this and I've already hit some snags as to how to handle such a thing.
Basically I want to figure out if I can run the game with full quality everything on, which would be for the following phones: Nexus One Droid Incredible EVO X10 Maybe devour, haven't tested Any other snapdragon or cortex/pvr device
Everything else with a GPU gets low quality settings Anything without a GPU gets low quality plus a warning saying that the game will not perform adequately on their device
Ideally, I would retrieve some information like:
CPU = MSM7200, MSM7600, CortexA8, etc.. GPU = MSM7200, PVRSGX530, etc.. - OR - CPU speed = 378Mhz or 600Mhz, or 1000Mhz GPU max = GLES 2.0 or GLES 1.1, etc
but of course that's not really available as I only have a few pieces of information in android.os.Build, which mostly are:
Build.BOARD (IE trout) Build.DEVICE (IE dream) Build.MODEL (IE T-Mobile G1) and then whatever is in /proc/cpuinfo which I could fetch easily through either Java or native.
Examples on the end.
So here are the 3 approaches I was hoping to try:
1) Benchmarking - Run a simple test for 2 seconds and ballpark the raw cpu power from that. Pros - easy to implement, fairly reliable Cons - If it happens to run during a high-load moment on the phone (which can last for several seconds) it will be very far off and will misclassify devices. 2) Use a really big list of DEVICE or MODEL names and check against that list. Pros - It'll work Cons - The list is already over 60 entries and is growing at an incredible rate. It would be very hard to keep it current and keep all the variants straight 3) Pull some raw info out of linux and use that. Pros - Most detailed info available Cons - Can't find things like raw CPU Mhz, OpenGL version support, etc..
cpuinfo for a G1:
Processor : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 2 (v6l) BogoMIPS : 245.36 Features : swp half thumb fastmult edsp java CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 6TEJ CPU variant : 0x1 CPU part : 0xb36 CPU revision : 2
Hardware : trout Revision : 0080 Serial : 0000000000000000
cpuinfo for a Nexus One:
Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l) BogoMIPS : 162.54 Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon CPU implementer : 0x51 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0x00f CPU revision : 2

I'll be buying and Android phone with Verizon sometime soon. The one issue stopping me at the moment has to do with the capabilities of the calendar/contacts apps, and I'm hoping someone who is familiar with the android OS can give me a workaround (so I can justify buying one sooner rather than later.)
I've been using Palm Treo's for years, and use my phone for running my business, including scheduling clients and making notes about client sessions. With the Treo, and using a third party calendar app (Datebk), I can link someone in my contacts/address book to an appointment. So when I look at my Wednesday 1pm appointment with John Doe, with one click I can go to a list of all appointments I've had with him over the years, and can easily go to any of them and find session notes, etc. It basically links my contacts and calendar so I have access to all the info on that client easily. (The old Palm PIM when was genius).
Is it possible to do anything remotely like this with Android? In the little playing around with Google Calendar, and in playing with the Droid and Eris at the Verizon store, I couldn't see that there's any way to do this, without manually creating a list of session dates for a client every time I make an appointment. I know that the Datebk creators have talked about an Android app coming later in the year, so I may have to wait till that happens. Much as I'd love to upgrade now, I run my business on my phone, and having the capability to handle client/session info in a way I can easily access is near the top of my priority list.

I'm experimenting with Android's audio recording and playback. Is there a way to enumerate the available audio parameters on my device?
Right now, when I pass a combination of parameters that the hardware (or emulator) doesn't like, I just get an error. So I am having to "guess":code...
Surely there's a better way!
This chart indicates that the only supported audio input sampling rate is 8 kHz? Is that correct?

Ok, so I have a XML layout with a TimePicker, few buttons and what not and a ScrollView because it's needed.
When I run the app the app doesn't scroll. On top of that the TimePicker doesn't scroll either. Well it does but correctly. It takes 6/7 swipes to move from 6 to 7. When I remove the ScrollView the TimePicker works fine and when I remove the TimePicker the layout can scroll.
Is there a way I can get them both to work in the XML?
My code is pretty basic so I don't think I need to post it but let me know if you want to see it.
I've tried fillViewPort and using nested layouts but nothing works. This effectively makes my app useless.
