Android :: Select Folder And Work Out When Intent Complete?
Nov 8, 2010
I am making a wallpaper and I want the user to select a folder. So I have a button in the preferences that launches an intent to open an image, but what I want is actually just a directory (I guess in the worst case I can strip the filename from the end). So thats my first problem. The second problem is how do I get notified of when the intent is complete?
public class FilePreference extends DialogPreference implements View.OnClickListener {
public void onClick(View v) {
// open up a gallery/file browser
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Folder"));
}

New to Android and starting to work on file mgmt. I set up some subfolders on my SD card for pictures. I have been moving pictures from one folder to another, but I can only move one at a time. Is there a way to select multiple picture files and move them to another folder (like "Select All" with Windows)? This is the sequence I've been following: Use the Edit Icon in the Astro taskbar, select Move, then going to the directory folder I want to move them, and hit Paste. Moving one file at a time is taking for ever.

I'm looking for a way to allow a user to press a button to browse the contents of the SD card, and then select a folder, whose path will be returned to the application. Similar to how you pull up the "Browse..." dialog on Windows for installations.

I am customizing native phonebook application as a third party application which can be launched by the same intent as the native application. I have installed that application in my G1 phone. When I have clicked on Contacts icon in launcher menu it a menu pops out and asks me to select which app to lauch i.e., native contacts or my customized contact application. I have selected my application and I have also selected to use this selection as my default choice. After that system never put a pop-up and whenever I clicked on contacts it launches my customized application.
Now my problem is, I do not know how do I change this setting i.e., tell the phone to put the pop-up again so that I can select native app or my app?
Does anyone has any idea?

I am a new member and a relatively new owner of an X10i. Overall I am happy with the phone but I am hoping some can answer a question. When I press the home button (middle one) I get a prompt to select to 'Complete Action using Home or Timescape' This is quite annoying. I want the default action to be Home (not Timescape) but despite ticking the box in the prompt it still pops up this box.

I have a bunch of individual folders that I'd like to select, so I can add them to a playlist. Problem is, a lot of these folders contain Various Artist compilations, so I don't want to have to select each artist to program into a playlist.
If I could add the folders in question, that would be so much simpler.

I have a simple app I coded for android that I want to go on Blackberry too - How easy is it to get the code over to their SDK and run it working as intended? I was only wondering if anyone knew from experience. The only API's on Droid I really use are camera and face detect.

I'm trying to select the items that have a expiration date >= that an selected date.I'm using the format yyyy-mm-dd, and this is my sql statement:
String sql = "SELECT _id, item, value, finalDate FROM "+DATABASE_TABLE+" WHERE date(finalDate) >= date("+selectedDate+")";
This query always result a "full select" in my database, as if there were no conditions.Some useful information:
selectDate is a String which have a date in yyyy-mm-dd format
I'm executing the query like this:
return db.rawQuery(sql,null);

Trying this:

It works for the eMail application, but not for any other app (like Facebook or Twitdroid). Gallery supports them. Does anyone know, how exactly Gallery does it?

This has been discussed elsewhere, but no solutions have been posted and some of the advice is flat wrong.
I crowdsourced this problem on my own forum/twitter, and this is what I've learned so far.
1. Connecting to Yahoo Mail is a simple procedure, and following the imap4/smtp directions here will work.
1b. However, step 1 (enter your username) MUST be with x@yahoo.com, not just X. The default the android offers will fail.
1c. If it doesn't load, or the folders don't load, power down and then back up. For people who find it "hangs" (little circle at top left keeps spinning)-- delete the account off of the android and set it back up.
I have tried this on literally dozens of phones, it works just fine.
But:
2. The multiple copies in the sent folder is a serious problem that I cannot fix. TURNING OFF THE SENT FOLDER ON YAHOO DOES NOT WORK-- and this is what amazes me; the Android is somehow able to override Yahoo mail and force copies into the sent box. If you send an email from your desktop, nothing is saved; but sent off the Android and the copies begin.
2b. The copies are generated each time the Android connects to Yahoo to check for mail (this is pull, not push), and whenever you send an email, and whenever you hit refresh. It seems to do it two copies at a time (why?)-- so if I send mail A, it generates two copies. When I send mail B, it generates 2 more copies of A, and 2 copies of B. When I send mail C, then we're up to 6 As, 4 Bs, 2 Cs, etc...

I'm trying to implement a Select All menu item for a ListView in a ListViewActivity. The relevant parts of my ListViewActivity: public class MyListViewActivity extends ListActivity browsed around stackoverflow.com and the google; the above is something that should work. But it isn't. setSelection(i) appears to be the method I want to call on ListView but it's not working as advertised. What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible on Android in code?

I am trying to play a video in android emulator I have the video in my assets folder as well as the raw folder.But after doing some research still i cant play video in my emulator.i am working on android 2.1 My video format is mp4 so i don't think that should be a problem.Could anyone just give me an example code so that i can understand a bit more?The problem is that the VideoView that I need to display the Video will take only a URI or a File path to point to the Video.If I save the video in the raw or assets folder I can only get an input stream or a file descriptor and it seems nothing of that can be used to initialize the VideoView.

I'm trying to run a few test packages on my device through a shell script which runs every night and for that I need to run the adb reboot command. My problem is that the 'adb reboot' command does make the system reboot, but it never completes (I need to do a keyboard interrupt if I run it manually in order to issue another command) I was wondering if there is anyway I could make my script go to the next command after a certain fixed amount of time? What could be going wrong with the adb reboot command? Sorry if my question is vague.

I've been trying to implement the tab UI described in this tutorial: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html I follow all the steps described in the process but I keep getting a runtime exception which I believe has something to do with the fact that nowhere in the tutorial I added the extra activities (songs, artists and albums) related to the content of each tab into the android manifest file. Am I correct? is this tutorial (like many others) faulty or incomplete?

I have a WebView that I've asked to load a page using webView.loadUrl (). How do I get a notification when the WebView has completed loading + rendering the requested page? The closest I've gotten is webView.getProgress(), but I'd like to be notified rather than having to poll for that value to reach 100.

Followed the instructions in http://developer.android.com/sdk/adding-components.html for adding 2.0 as components to an existing 1.6 SDK, from within Eclipse. It didn't work. Not by a long shot. Instead, it got partway through and then said that C:android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1 empDocPackage.new01 couldn't be copied because of a lock, and similarly for PlatformPackage.new01. It said to shut down running programs, but the only program running was Eclipse, which was needed to do the upgrade. The cancel button was disabled, and the close box didn't work. Shutting down Eclipse killed it, but left C:android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1 in a corrupted state. Restarting Eclipse showed the Android projects with errors, no SDK, and a disabled Android SDK and AVD Manager (which means no ability to rerun the install). Shutting down Eclipse, renaming the corrupted SDK directory, unzipping 1.6 again into C:, and restarting Eclipse made it as if nothing had ever happened, which is good. But it is not possible to complete the install from Eclipse, which is bad.

I've recently switched from an iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Any software that does a complete backup of phone to my PC similar to what iTunes does for the iPhone? Note: I would prefer not to root the brand-new phone since I understand that voids the warranty. Also, a backup to SD card is not possible since the phone does not include one.

I have a custom class called "Sound" with SoundPool, I want to implement the loading complete listener so that my activity can play an intro sound and display the "start" button once loading is complete. How would I go about implementing the listener and then testing for the complete status from my activity to make sure everything is loaded then go on to do the above. MyActivity creates an instance of my class "Sound" so that it can call various sound methods from it. Code...

I want to get an animated text in Android where it should run from left to right on the screen.
Eg: I want to get this text. private static final String QUOTE = "Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight ball and chain.";
running from right to left using animation.
However, this text gets truncated to "Nobody uses Java anymore. It's" in Portrait mode and to "Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight" in landscape mode.
This is the code that I have used:

I want to translate my app into all available markets. code...
However, look at http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html
it lacks : polish pl_PL and nl_NL
Now what I'm doing is creating values-fr values-es directories. But my phone only has English and Spanish locales.
Here's two things that would help:
1. A definitive list of all locale suffixes that are allowable as the values-?? directory names 2. A way to add more locales to my phone.
