View 5 RepliesCan anyone tell me what the default setting is for the homepage of the nexus one's browser (presumable the browser of any other non-carrier-messed-with handset too)? I changed it and now can't remember what it was to set it back again. It used to show a lite version of google.com.

Or in other words can I make a "Set as homepage" button
Not sure if this is the right forum to discuss platform related changes. Seemed this closest. If I need to customize the default bookmarks/homepage in the browser, what the best approach?

If I press it I instantly get a white page (Instantly as in no loading time or attempt to connect to the internet) with black writing. It has loads of symbols and http stuff at the start. Then continues with the message "The page you are trying to access is only available via your orange phone when connected via the orange gprs network.
The part at the start also mentions orange world. If I go into More-Settings-Set Homepage I try and change this to google it shows as google is the Homepage. But again if I launch the browser again I get the white page with black writing. The funny thing is I can connect to the internet no problem by typing in a URL manually. And I am using the orange network for that. I called tech supp for orange and the guy was pretty useless and no joy. Why no homepage, but can browse through URLS's?
Any app that, when I single-tap the Home button on my phone, it will check to see if my default browser is open, and if it is not, open it, and set it to the Home address? And of course, if the browser is open, set the browser to the Home address without opening another Tab.
If I need to explain it further, lets just say I want to be able to have my Home button, instead of a tap resetting my phone to the home screen of the launcher, instead, Launch my default Browser (whether it be Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, etc...) to the Home Address. If my browser is open, SET it to Home Address, without opening more tabs.
Long story short, at work, we have this new tablet runs on Android. The administrator has disabled the Home button so the window does not get closed. I'd rather it'd be enabled, and instead, reset the Browser to it's Home address. This particular tablet, will only use this browser window.
I am at a loss on how to change the homepage on the browser. How is this done? I'd like to make it yahoo or google but can't seem to figure it out.

However it google now loads in Spanish and none of the links will work (thee get highlighted but doesn't take me any where). The same is true for any of my bookmarks, the site loads but is missing images etc., seems to be all text etc., and none of the links work. I've already cleared everything, cache, history passwords etc., and even tried inputting new sites and tried loading them, same scenario, site loads but no images, format is different and links don't work. All other apps work, gmail, calendar etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNew to Android and to Dolphin Browser HD. I've Googled for days, however, I have come up with squat.
1) When I open a new tab, can it automatically go to my homepage and not the "Speed Dial" sort of page it does now? Any add-ons that might enable this?
2) Does Dolphin Browser HD do automatic text reflow? And, if not, any other browsers that can do this? It is pretty tedious now trying to read pages that aren't re-sized for mobile.
I have loaded the Dolphin browser as my default browser and the google homepage is stuck in Spanish. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times and nothing changes. The only way to view it in english is to scroll down to the bottom of the google homepage and press "Google.com in in English". Once I close the browser and come back its back in Spanish. Any ideas or suggestions?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was trying to make an app which also had the facility to let user select wallpaper he would like to set. I have managed this by calling the Gallery Intent. Once the user selects a specific image, the data path of the image is returned to me which then i preview to the user by setting the image onto an imageview.
The problem crops up when the image size (and/or resolution) is greater than what android expects. This results in failure of my module.
And as if this was not enough, wen the user tries to select some other wallpaper(and in my test case the "other" wallpaper was also of size >700kb) then the app crashes with the "OutOfMemoryException"...
For Gallery Intent i use:
CODE:............
For setting the wallpaper i use:
CODE:.......
So i have 2 problems to deal with:
How to crop the image before setting it as wallpaper...Cant understand y OutOfMemoryException is thrown, coz none of my image sizes exceed even 1mb... and i guess the VM budget in case Of N1 is 24Mb if m not mistaken...
I am working on an Android application that is supposed to run on Android 1.5 and later devices. I am using RawContacts.CONTENT_URI enumeration for registering a ContentObserver in my application subclass. Now, RawContacts was introduced in Eclair and running this code on Android devices having runtime less than 2.0, gives java.lang.VerifyError. For older devices, I have to use Contacts.CONTENT_URI.
So to fix this, I've put something like the following in my code:
CODE:.......
I am still getting java.lang.VerifiyErrors.
How do I setup my code for different runtimes?
I have read about using a 'dip' scale rather than just px, this is straightforward to implement in XML. But how do I adjust values accordingly in the java code? For example:
tv.setTextSize(20)
will result in text of size 20 px right? What's the quickest way of making this 20 dip, other than adding a resource?
It is possible to set the orientation of an activity in the manifest file. but is it also possible to do it from code? if so, how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to have my home-screen application register itself as the default home-screen so the user is not prompted with the IntentResolver's list of all the available home-activities.
This is my code:
CODE:.................
I have the android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS set in the manifest. After executing the code above, the logs claim things have been added like expected (same logs as when I tick off "Make default" from IntentResolver's list). However, when I proceed by clicking home, the list still shows up and the logs say:
CODE:.....................
So it seems the resolver deletes the default entry. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a security measure? What are the ideas behind this?
I'm playing with the alternative Home app that comes with the SDK.
I can set this as default for 'Home' action.
I can unset this by -->Setting->Manage Application->My Alternative Home-> "clear defaults"
Question:
How to do this "clear defaults" by code?
I've browsed the forums but cannot find an answer.
Last time I checked if you set your default browser to say Dolphin Browser it caused some issues with updates of apps and the market. Does anyone know if this has been addressed or if setting your default browser to a 3rd party still creates update issues with other applications?

I am working with the time and date example in the android api demos, and I want to put all the code relating to creating the time and date dialogs setting the values etc into a separate java file, and in my main java file run when the application starts, just declare the buttons and onclick events.

I have a swf file on the sdcard and I wrote a html file flash.html with the swf file embeded. The only way to open it now is:
1) open the browser
2) type in file:///sdcard/flash.html The swf runs fine.
But if use the code list below:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/flash.html");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent); It shows the error: The application has stopped unexpectly.
I also tried the following code using:
WebView: WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.list_web);
browser.loadUrl("file:///sdcard/flash.html");
The Webview showed up, but the area should start the swf is empty. So is there a way to open the html through code? I also think if there is a way to open the android browser using ACTION_VIEW by a simple html then reset the URL to be "file:///sdcard/ flash.html" through code?
Probably a stupid question, but how do I set my default browser? I tried settings > applications > manage applications > internet.The 'Launch by default' section is all grayed out.If I try settings > applications > manage applications > xScope if i go on xscope settings > default browser.

Intent browser = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW",

//putExtra cannot take these arguments -> browser.putExtra("org.apache.http.cookie.Cookie", cookie);

I want it to store temporarily in my browser so my member page loads successfully.
My cookie are successfully created from the HTTP request and I assign it to a List<Cookie> cookie;
