I have problem with deletion sms with messageId=0. I can't delete such a message. There is no problem with deletion other messages but first message taken from inbox has always message Id=0 and I can't delete it. I use code below for deletion.
Uri SMS_CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://sms"); Uri deleteUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(SMS_CONTENT_URI, String.valueOf(smsList.get(currentSmsIndex).getId())); int count = context.getContentResolver().delete(deleteUri, null, null);
Do you have any idea?
CODE:.............
I'm currently using the above code to create a folder which is used to temporarily store images that the app uses later. deleteDir is just a generic recursive file deletion to empty a directory. Is there a better way to do this than to delete everything? Ideally I just want a temp folder that empties when the application closes.
I want to force the User Data to be deleted on Application upgrade (to delete internal database).How can I do that?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI notice that my app's data on external storage (i.e. SD card) gets deleted during an "adb install -r". While this is normal for uninstall (and then afterwards install optionally to notice it), I do not understand why this is the case for reinstall (and thus for Market updates as well). I could have sworn this was not always the case.
Referring to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal I am specifically using "Accessing files on external storage" on Android 2.2, but not "Saving files that should be shared" or "Saving cache files". So I am writing and reading data in "/sdcard/Android/data//files/somefolder/data". My preferences do stick.
@Commonsware: The problem is not so much with getExternalFilesDir() IMHO as I see my data is written where I expect it. It just does not stick. I am using a.o.:
public static File getDefaultDirectory(Context context, String packageName) { File dir;
if(mActivity_getExternalFilesDir!=null){//API >=8
dir = invokeGetExternalFilesDir(context, "fortune");
}else if(mEnvironment_getExternalStorageDirectory!=null){//API <=7
dir = invokeGetExternalStorageDirectory();
dir = new File(dir.getPath() + "/Android/data/" + packageName + "/files/");
}else{ //should never occur return null;
}return dir;
}
I did some searching around but couldn't find any answers; my question is how do you delete the restoration images so you can keep only two or if you find you don't need some of the older ones etc...

One of the biggest features that I found missing in Android was the ability to delete mail on handheld only, or handheld and server on a per message basis. (For those not aware, you can set BB to do either automatically, or prompt, which is what I like.)
I want to buy a couple of android devices for use by our sales representatives. However I want to put some files (powerpoint presentation, pdf or photos) on those devices which I want to lock against deletion by a user.
Is there a software to achive it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a thread with over 1200 text messages in it which I need to delete to improve the lag on my phone. However there are a few of the messages which I would like to keep. I am using the stock message app. When I long press to delete the thread there is an option you can check to delete locked messages, however no where can I find the ability to lock a message. Does anyone know how to lock a message within a thread so you can delete the thread but keep just a few of the messages?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to develop an application that should not be visible to the user. I mean an app that can't be visible at the Manage Apps screen (Settings - Applications - Manage applications) and also whose services couldn't either be visible at the Running Services screen (Settings - Applications - Running services)I know I'm trying to fight against Android's nature of being open and give control to the user. But I want, somehow, to cheat the system and pretend the app does not run and even does not exist. Is that possible?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWas given advice to hide app from Droid (build:5) until fully compatible by doing this in androidmanifest : <uses-sdk android:maxSdkVersion="4" />
However the android:maxSdkVersion tag is only available if compiling using sdk 1.6.I heard that compiling using 1.6 will hide my app from users who are still on 1.5 (still a few i can see).But I want 1.5 and 1.6 users still to see the app just not 2.0 - how can I achieve this?
Is there any apps out there that could hide an incoming call from a preselected number so that when the number calls my phone, it will not be put on hold or disconnected, just ringing but not showing up on my screen?
View 15 Replies View RelatedI am working on a research project and I need to write an Android application that is able to intercept SMS's and, according to their content, route them to a web services without showing any alert.
I tried to register a broadcast receiver on the intent SMS_RECEIVED, but the default SMS application is still notifying the SMS in the notification bar. The only way to achieve what is manually disabling the message notification from the default SMS application's menu.
I found that the "SMS Guard" application, available on the market, is able to filter messages out without any notification, without touching any default configuration (I wrote to the developer, no answer yet).
Is there any way of hiding specific app developers that you don't link on the market?
E.g. if one developer has made thousands of sound board apps or themes for an app that I won't be using - I could hide that developer and wouldn't see his/her apps on the market?
If this is possible, I think it would make the market much less annoying when you have to scroll through hundreds of sound boards and app themes.
is there a way to have a folder in the 'All programs' and then within that folder place the links to applications?
I am looking for something like the start button on a PC.
There are many apps we can install that we never actually need an icon for, such as Phonebook and Cnomp to name but 2.
When I was using a BB I could create a folder and dump the links to similar apps inside or I could simply hide an icon.
How can I do it on the Hero?
I have an app on my daughters phone that will not allow her to text and drive. The problem is she can use any task killer and kill the app and bypass the application. So my question is, is there a way to hide an app from the task killers, or have the app check to see if it is running, and if not restart its self?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if Android allows you to suppress sending the own number when calling someone. I suppose there'll be a general option (like generally sending/hiding number) but I'd be particularly interested if there's an option to send it only to certain numbers (like all stored contacts or maybe even specific contacts) and not to all.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've done a bit of searching on this topic and the only reference I can find is to the older version of the firmware that allows you to 'hide' googles contacts. I have a TON of emails I've collected over the past several years on my gmail and a handful of contacts I ported over from my Touch Pro. Now I want to hide the google contacts so that I only see my 'phone' contacts in the people or other contact apps. Whats the best way to go about this? In quick summary, I do not want to see my google contacts on my phone list. I only want to see phone contacts.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe option I see so far is calling requestWindowFeature (Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE). Is there a way to bring it back programmatically?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI already know ho to hide the title bar with the getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); in the Activity onCreate() method before the setContentView() call.
But i want something different. I'd like to show/hide the title bar in any moment. To make an example, place a button in the view that toggle the title. Unfortunately the requestFeature can be done only before the call to setContentView().
I have an Android application that generates some HTML which is rendered locally, in a Webkit view. The details of the HTML generation aren't really that important except for: the bulk of it comes from one place, and I cannot change it the template around that HTML (including headers, footers, HEAD etc), the CSS, and Javascript is under my control. most images are under my control, and rendered separately from the untouchable HTML. These images come from local disk, and do not require the network. It can be assumed that these images are always available. The untouchable HTML contains images which would, ideally be displayed. If the network is unavailable, it is these images that would fail to load. the complete HTML file is likely to be stashed to disk, long before it is rendered. i.e. we cannot render different HTML based on network availability.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on a fairly basic screen layout for my first Android application and running into some issues. My goal is to have a TextView in the top left and top right corner, a large "hello world" TextView in the exact middle of the screen, and then a button at the bottom of the screen.My issue is, to center the "hello world" TextView vertically, I need to set the layout_height="fill_parent".However, this causes the middle TextView to cover and hide the button at the bottom of the screen. Is there a better way to do this than what I am currently trying?
