I have a file path to the SD card on a String.. like this : /sdcard/ download/recentPic.jpg.And I'd like to get just the filename and extension recentPic.jpg.Is there any simple way to do this?

Just started writing java / android and I am trying to use android.widget.VideoView.
I set the video by using the setVideoPath('/path/filename') method, but can't seem to figure out how to get the path on an existing object?
I'm using methods such as 'getDuration()', and 'getCurrentPosition()' and they work great.. but where is a getPath method?
I have an onActivityResult returning from an mediastore image selection which I can get a URI for an image using the following:
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
Converting this to a string gives this:
content://media/external/images/media/47
Or to a path gives:
/external/images/media/47
However I can't seem to find a way to convert this into an absolute path, as I want to load the image into a bitmap without having to copy it somewhere. I know this can be done using the URI and content resolver but this seems to break on rebooting of the phone, I guess MediaStore doesn't keep its numbering the same between reboots.
Is there a way to read the points created when drawing a path? It seems silly to me that a path cannot be readable.Or is it just better to manually write the current finger position to an array?

Is there a way to access a raw resource file by having its filename in a String? According Google's documentation, I need to use "Resources.openRawResource (R.raw.myDataFile)". This requires that I have the file name at compile time, but what if I have 20 or so files and want to do something to a specific file by passing its file name at runtime?

I figured it was probably because i had taken thousands and thousands of images over the time i had the phone since 2006 does anyone understand what I'm talking about and can tell me if I'm doing something wrong or how to fix this in the x10?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm a bit hesitant to present this here already but today i put out the first architecturally frozen release of my game development library called libgdx. I go ahead and post the content of the description page of libgdx here so you get an idea what it is all about. A series of articles is currently in preparation at my blog at. I will continue extending the library in the near future and hope that some of consider joining the effort. Without further ado, here's a simple FAQ for libgdx. === What is libgdx? === Libgdx is my attempt at a cross-platform game development library written in Java with some JNI code for performance hungry code. It abstracts away the differences between writting an OpenGL application for the desktop via Jogl and doing the same for the Android platform.
This allows you to prototype and develop your application entirely on the desktop and only needing 6 lines of code to execute it on Android. Neat, so what does it offer? Libgdx offers modules for graphics via OpenGL ES, audio, input and file i/o. All modules abstract away system specifics so you can execute the same code on the desktop and Android. The graphics module offers full bindings to OpenGL ES 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. On the desktop almost all of the OpenGL ES functionality is emulated.
I need a good ad blocker. I go back and forth between Google Chrome and IE for my internet search. My biggest pet peeve is all those ads and popup videos! On my laptop I have avg internet security, malwarebytes, SAS to fight the battle of viruses, malware, spyware but I need a good adblocker. Im not tech savvy, frankly, I'm sooo afraid that I'll crash my laptop with one of my visit to a unsafe site, that it prevents me from truly enjoying the net. So, I was adviced to get the ad blocker advisor app from google or should I get an ad blocker extension? I realize I really dont know the difference.,,an app or extension? Is there one for IE too?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is my first Android phone after owning WinMobile phones for the last 5 years or so. Experiencing a frustrating issue with dialing phone numbers from my address book or Exchange GAL that contain extensions - typically preceeded by an "X" or "ext" or "-". Android ignores these delimeters and simply appends the extension to the main number, which then gets interpreted as an international number and the first 3 digits are assumed to be the country code. This renders all phone numbers with extensions unusable. Since I don't have edit capabilities of my company's GAL I can't just go make changes.What character are people using to separate extensions from the main number?

It will be notification popup, but sometimes text is too long (I draw text canvas.drawText()), and I need to split it and draw in few lines in rows. Anyone knows a good solution? I saw methods mPaint.measureText() or TextUtils . split () , but it isn't so good in my case. Is there other method?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a string called CurrentString and is in the form of something like this "Fruit: they taste good". I would like to split up the CurrentString using the : as the delimiter. So that way the word "Fruit" will be split into its own string and "they taste good" will be another string.and then I would simply like to use SetText and 2 different textviews to display that string. What would be the best way to approach this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to create byte array blocks from file whil the process was still using the file for writing. Actually I am storing video into file and I would like to create chunks from the same file while recording. The following method was supposed to read blocks of bytes from file:
private byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException{
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
long length = file.length(); int numRead = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length - mReadOffset];
numRead = is.read(bytes, mReadOffset, bytes.length - mReadOffset);
if(numRead != (bytes.length - mReadOffset)){
throw new IOException("Could not completely read file " + file.getName());
} mReadOffset += numRead; is.close(); return bytes;
}
But the problem is that all array elements are set to 0 and I guess it is because the writing process locks the file. Any other way to create file chunks while writing into file.

All of the links posted on other websites come back with the 404 error?? Has it been removed? I have already set up android 2 cloud so I can send links from my phone to chrome but not vice versa. Am I just being a dummy? Please help!I think I found it. The links that were posted on other sites are still not working but I was able to finally find it after searching around. I was only half a dummy.
