Android :: Setting Preferred Home Activity From Application Code

Jan 7, 2010

I'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?

Preferred WiFi By App Control Code?

Feb 16, 2013

I made a remote starter, keyless entry, and window roll down module out of a Linksys router. It serves up a webpage that I access from my Android through WIFI connected directly to the router. I just have to be within WIFI range to operate it. It works flawlessly. No actual internet involved.

Here is what I would like to do: Create an app that accesses each webpage to control it. I am thinking webview, but I don't ever want to see the actual web page. The app just needs to open the page in the background to make the control work. The current hassle is that I have to go to my WIFI settings and select the router. Use the control and then set my WIFI back to the original connection. Is there a way to have the phone automatically connect to the router associated with this app upon app initialization and then have it return the WIFI setting to the previous state after the app is closed?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Which SMS Application To Be Preferred?

Jun 15, 2010

I am sure this is old but, I downloaded Handcent at least 10 times already. I like the customization. It's the best SMS Application to me, but I'm not sure if it makes my phone run a bit laggy. I always go back to the stock app even tho its kind of boring, but very fast. I guess the question is, Is Handcent really worth it to you?

Android :: Setting Open Home Back To Default For Home Key

Nov 1, 2009

Ive had open home downloaded for over a month and i only used it for a short period of time before switching back to the default homepage setting. Now, because of the new features added to Open Home i want to switch back, and every time i open 'Open Home' it only opens until i hit the home key. Then it does not ask me what i want to use as my default as it used to. I went to settings>applications>manage applications>open home to clear all defaults but it is not highlighted for me to select it. How can i set Open Home to my default again?

Android :: Android Intent / Resuming Application Home Activity

Jul 10, 2010

I have an application that I have running a media player and I want to resume the activity from my applications home activity. I can successfully do this by adding the following flags to the startActivity Call:
myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
I am worried that this is not an ideal way to do things since it took me a long time to find it. It made me think that no one uses it very much. Are there any pitfalls to using this method?

Android :: Overriding The Home Key Long Press In A Category - HOME Activity

May 29, 2010

I just created my own "Home" to replace the stock android one or Sense.

All is working fine and I get all I want. My only problem is to replace to long press on home key ( that usually show the last 6 activities you launched) by my own launcher.

I successfully replace the long press on MENU button with this code:

CODE:..........

and this part part for the long press:

CODE:.............

But the problem is that I wasn't able to replace the KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU with KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME

Is that something locked in the code that avoid user to use a Home long press?

Android :: Setting Wallpaper Through Code

Jun 14, 2010

I 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...

Android :: Setting Up Code For Different Runtimes

Oct 18, 2010

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?

Android :: DIP Scale And Setting Values In Code

Jul 7, 2009

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?

Android :: Overriding Home Button For Car Home Replacement Application

May 19, 2010

I have been working on a replacement for the stock Car Home app for a bit, and I am completely stumped on how to override the Home button so that my app will be brought back to the foreground whenever the phone is docked. This is the way that Car Home works, so there must be a way. It seems that BroadcastReceivers won't work, because the intent that is broadcast whenever the Home button is pressed will still cause the default homescreen app to launch; I cannot prevent it. I can override the Home button from within my app, but that does me no good since this needs to work when the user is outside my app. Car Home also does not do anything weird like set itself as the default homescreen app while it's running (I checked the logcat to make sure).
I've been really beating my head against the wall on this. Does anyone have any ideas, or can you at least point me in the right direction?
