I've got a line in my manifest that looks like this:
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/ app_name" android:debuggable="true">
But I see the default Android icon on the desktop instead of the one in drawable/icon. What else do I need to do?

I would like to know if there is an option of setting an auto icon link of my application in the user's desktop, after installing it? The only way I know to do it, is that the user could drag it manually to his desktop from the applications list. Is there any way of doing it automatically for the user(without his touch)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am getting an error from Eclipse when I use this xml file (res / drawable/btnswitch.xml) to designate different button conditions
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/btn_st_rd" />
<!-- pressed --> <item android:state_focused="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/btn_st_gr" /> <!-- focused --> <item android:drawable="@drawable/btn_st_gr" /> <!-- default --> </selector>
I call it in my layout file with this code:
<Button android:id="@+id/startTimer_btn" android:src="@drawable/btnswitch"" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
Eclipse says it can't run the configuration because I have errors but does not show any errors. And when I remove the xml code (to go back to my original code which just sets a background image for the Button) it says that now has errors. I have to restart Eclipse to get the original code to run again.
The Notification API allows to set a drawable resource id for the icon of a notification. This drawable resource id is used to put the icon in the status bar and in the expanded window shade.This is a limitation if the icon images are to be represented by a Drawable or from a content provider at runtime. I propose that the Notification class adds fields (or methods) that would allow to set a Drawable or an Uri for the notification icon. This Drawable or Uri would then be used by the system notification service to put the icon in the status bar and in the expanded window shade.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a drawable in code and change the color based on some criteria. When I try and set the Drawable as the background of the ImageView it displays but won't let me set any padding. I realized I need to set the ImageView image via the setImageDrawable() function in order to be able to set the padding. The problem I am running into is that when I set it via the setImageDrawable() function nothing is displayed.
Here is what I have written:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
ImageView icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.icon);
ShapeDrawable mDrawable; int x = 0; int y = 0;
int width = 50; int height = 50;
float[] outerR = new float[] { 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12 };
mDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(new RoundRectShape(outerR, null, null));
mDrawable.setBounds(x, y+height, x + width, y);
switch(position){ case 0: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 1: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 2: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff00c000); //Green break;
case 3: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff00c000); //Green break;
case 4: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff0000ff); //Blue break;
case 5: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff0000ff); //Blue break;
case 6: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff696969); //Gray break;
case 7: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff696969); //Gray break;
case 8: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffffff00); //Yellow break;
case 9: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 10: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 11: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 12: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffa020f0); //Purple break;
case 13: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 14: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffffd700); //Gold break;
case 15: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff6600); //Orange break;
} icon.setImageDrawable(mDrawable); icon.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
This results in a space for the ImageView but no image.
I want to set a menu option icon for a drawable that is in another jar inside an xml file. code...
Instead of drawable/my_location have something like com.somelib.R.drawable.someDrawable.
I can set this in onCreateOptionsMenu but was just wondering if it could be done via the xml file.

I have an application built for 1.5 and I am adding higher resolution drawables to support hdpi devices in 1.6 and above.My original application icon is 48x48. I created a second launcher icon that is 72x72 and placed it in a res/drawable-hdpi/ directory.When I install the application on my Nexus One the icon looks good when I view it in the application menu.But when I place it on the desktop it appears small relative to other icons, my guess is I'm seeing the 48x48 version with no scaling.Do I need to do something differently either with my directory structure or my manifest file to get things to display correctly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI defined an application which is only used from my other application. So I would like to hide the icon of this application, so that the user can't see it on the desktop of his phone (or how do you call the thing where all apps are listed?). My manifest file looks the following way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="xyz.games.pacman.controller" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>

<action android:name="pacman.intent.action.Launch" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter> </activity>

<intent-filter> <action android:name="xyz.games.pacman.controller.BROADCAST" />
</intent-filter> </receiver> </application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> </manifest>
I already read this question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1063604/how-to-hide-an-application-icon-in-android-emulator
But if I just remove the line
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
in my manifest, the activity isn't working at all (ActivityNotFoundException in the calling activity). I already tried android.intent.category.EMBEDDED but this doesn't work too. In the Internet I found CommonsWare answer http://osdir.com/ml/Android-Developers/2010-06/msg03617.html that it can be done using PackageManager. Unfortunately, it isn't explained how exactly and I couldn't find a solution by browsing the PackageManager API.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I got my Nexus S water damaged and they refused to accept warranty repair due to the water damage they found. Now it works partially, it boots, but the screen image does not show. The touch works, for example I am able to go blindly to the camera and take some photos and I know it works because it makes the shutter sound.
Due to the water damage the phone originally got into download mode only, the internal ROM was wiped out and I had to flash a new ROM and Recovery etc. with Odin. Now the phone is running stock factory image of ICS, and I need to figure out how to flash there something with debugging enabled, because the recovery doesn't work too.
The question is, is there a way to get some kind of remote desktop working over USB without doing anything on the screen? I'd like to be able to set up the phone as an AirPlay receiver at least.
I know that this is sort of stupid thing not to know, but how do you actually set up the link between the Eris and the desktop when using Wireless Tether? I went through the Wireless network Setup and I even went through Network Setup Wizard and Network Connections and still haven't been able to figure out how to actually initiate wireless tetherthing through wi-fi. I'm sure that it's something bonehead that I haven't considered. The only time I've set up networks is with the help of ISP tech support or the ISP setup CD.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo obviously, I need to enable Location Settings in order to get GPS ability in Google Maps. But I don't see why it needs to have an icon taking up valuable space in the status bar (as a side note, there's an icon to indicate that it's OFF, so you can't NOT have a location setting icon on there). There was no such icon on my Droid.
Is there a way to disable this icon that anyone knows of? With Wifi/3G, the battery meter, alarm clock, the time, and the bars, they take up over half of my status bar. The problem is compounded by the fact that I have a battery app that always displays the exact battery percentage on the left side (another side note; why isn't the exact percentage shown on the default battery icon?

I am new application development. I am using Eclipse for making applications. When trying to create new project using Eclipse It is not creating simple res/drawable/ instead its creating three drawable folder. i.e. 1] drawable-hdpi 2] drawable-ldpi, 3]drawable-mdpi What is this all three for? General scenario as per Google it needs res/drawable/ to save icon image. Now on Eclise where to save icons? On all folder or?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAccording to official documentation Google says that "Once you've defined your Drawable in XML, save the file in the res/drawable/ directory of your project." is the way to add a XML drawable to the project. But when I created the project ADT created 3 different drawable folders for mdpi, hdpi, and ldpi. So when I wanted to create my XML drawable, I right click on my drawable-hdpi folder and select "Add new Android XML file", and there I have to select what kind of XML file I want to create, but there isn't "drawable" to select. If I create new text file and save it as button_drawable.xml Eclipse says that there is an Error in the file and that It can't build my project.
