Android :: Starting Market Application Programmatically
Jun 28, 2010
Is this possible? I have a free and a paid version of an application. From the FREE version I want to provide the ability to for the user to "PURCHASE" the paid version. I want to make it as simple as possible. I am thinking of Starting the market app and passing the identification of the PAID so that the Market app will take them right there. I am trying to make it as easy as posible. No searching etc. No I have no intent of doing the purchasing from within my app. I want to have them press [Get Paid Now] button and then I start the Market app which would then take them to my Paid Application in the store.

I know this problem has been covered ad nauseum here on the forums, but I'm having a trio of problems on my Droid1, and I'm betting that they're related:
- Market freezes download
- Low on space notification (almost 19MB free)
- Google Talk won't load on my phone
I'm running the SimplyStunning 4.8 ROM. I reflashed the ROM last week and it seemed to resolve the problem for a while, but now it's come back.

I have had one of those "Starting download" errors in the market for almost 3 months now (!) and I'm starting to get tired of it.
I'm using a Desire with android 2.2. My problem is this: I can download from satellite network, but not via Wifi at home. However, it seems to be a 1% chance (or close to that) of successful download using the Wifi.
I have logged in and out of Talk several times, did a couple of factory resets, formatted the SD card, cleared cache from HTC checkin service, market, google talk and downloader (if thats what its called in english). I tried to set the network as only WCDMA, only GSM and both auto, still no results. Everything else seems to work using the Wifi at home, except market. I called HTC for some help, and the only thing I got to know was that it wasn't my mobile operator, or other settings on my phone that caused this problem, and they also thougt it might be the network at home, which I too thought before talking to them. So I did a little research about that, and tried to open port 5228, even though that seemed weird, as it sometimes worked downloading. I also read about the change from googlemail.com to gmail.com, but I never had a "googlemail.com" address, so I hope this isnt the problem. Now HTC wants me to tell them if I can fix this, and how I did, so they probably have no clue either:S
I have also tried other things, which I don't remember right now, but if anyone can list up something to try, I'll see if I have done it or not.

I'm rooted and just flashed Super Clean rom from Rom Manager. When I go to update current apps or download new ones, it says "Starting download..." and never stops! After looking this problem up and reading other people's posts who have had similar problems, I've tried clearing all cache and data related to any Google-based app. I've done multiple nandroid backups over the past few weeks and have tried restoring back to them. I've tried factory data reset both from Settings-->Privacy and also from recovery mode in CWM. I'm out of ideas.

As you may know, when you buy an app from the market, an email is sent to you with a "Google order number" (which I believe is 15 digits long), which is specific to this transaction. I was wondering if this number is stored anywhere on your device after you purchase an app, and if it is, is there anything in the API to allow an android app to retrieve this number. If this number cannot be retrieved, is there a similar market transaction code that's retrievable?

I'm sure that you all have already known AppBrain's Fast Web Installer which is able to programmatically install free applications in android market to the device.
How could it be possible ?

I posted this last night in the regular Sprint HTC forum, but it may be more root related and I thought those of you that frequent this forum may be better at coming up with the fix. Had to RUU back to 1.5, then re-rooted and restored back to a nandroid of ZenROM. Market has always worked fine, until after this process yesterday.I am able to search the market, it says the app will download, but never does. All my contacts are there, web works, email works, I have rebooted, restored to a different Nandroid still hangs at starting download. Googling turns up a few responses regarding British users having their gmail adresses wrong "googlemail" vs "gmail" but that isn't the issue here.One possibility.when I RUU'd back to 1.5, I MAY have accidently typed the gmail address incorrectly...(I have two that are similar except for one digit) But when I restored back to the ROM I'm using, it shows the correct address in the accounts and sync area. This is the only thing I can think of.

I installed my application through clicking run in eclipse. When I search for my application to start it and click on it I get the following error. Do I have to add some magic phrase to the manifest?

While opening my application from application launcher. Sometimes I am getting blank screen for long time (almost 3 min). If I perform some key events then I am getting ANR. Log is as follows.
I/ActivityManager( 57): Starting activity: Intent {
action=android.intent.action.MAIN categories ={android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} flags=0x10200000 comp={com.test/com.test.MyScreen} }
E/JavaBinder( 57): !!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!!
After this I am getting activity launch timeout and Idle timeout. Is there any design issue with my activity or problem with android environment.

I have a call blocking application. It has 3 files:
1) class BlockMyCall extends BroadcastReceiver
2) class SimpleClass1 extends Service
3) PhoneBlock extends Activity
I start "PhoneBlock " Activity to call Service "SimpleClass1 ", which eventually calls "BlockMyCall" intended to block outbound calls (by setting result to "null").
I want to know if I can run the class1 from service without starting activity. If so , how?

I have created the meat and guts of my application but I want to add a different activity that will be the starting point (sort of a log-in screen).
Couple questions:
1) I have a fairly decent handle on how to switch between activities (based on this article: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7498) but I'm not sure how to go about creating a new one (with eclipse).
2) once I have a new activity created, how can I set it as the default activity of my application? I presume I could just change the name of the classes...but is there a more elegant way to handle that (maybe within the AndroidManifest.xml)?

So, I've been having issues with my Droid X and downloads in the Market not starting, I've had to do a few data resets to fix the problem. I recently called Verizon complaining and they sent me out a replacement Droid X. The first app that I installed was Launcher Pro and then downloaded quite a few more apps. A few hours later I tried download more apps and they have again gotten stuck on "starting download". I called Verizon tech support and explained what was going on, he then proceeded to tell me that he can guarantee that Launcher Pro is the cause of the problems and that I need to delete it. He claims that it does not work properly with the X. I told him that I got an X on July 1 and did not have a problem with the Market until recently and he again said that LP is causing the problem. Has anyone else heard of this, it makes no sense at all.

Whenever I start any Android Application, initially a black screen comes to the foreground for a split of a second and then the splash screen comes up of the Application. Can anyone let me know the way of avoiding it?

I have a Service which tracks the location of the user. Currently, the Service boots when the application starts and stops when the application terminates. Unfortunately, if users keep the application in the background, the Service never stops and drains battery.
I would like the Service to stop when my application is not in the foreground. I was hoping the Application class would let me Override onPause and onResume handlers, but it does not have them.

If i wish to attach an evaluation license to my android application, how can that be achieved ? As for example, i may want to provide an evaluation license based application that expires in one of the following ways:
1. Time based (30 days etc)
2. Usage based ( 100 invocations of the application).
Once the application's license expires, i need to restrict access to it from the user.

I have an application that's offered in and outside of the MarketPlace.Is there a way of determining from within the code where the application came from? I've got a few indirect methods
1) I could simply infer from whether they have "Allow installation of non-Market applications" ticked.
2) Or I could just make separate builds and make it explicit in the code.

I want to launch a specif application.
I know how to do Intents but I want to avoid the selection menu if there are multiple apps that can handle the intent, i want to go directly to a particular app. Hope this makes sense.

I am looking for a way to initiate the audio connection between the Android phone and my headset within my application. The idea is to simplify the connection process in such a way that the user doesn't have to go through the different settings menus anymore (Apps -> Settings -> Wireless & Networs -> Bluetooth settings).
Both devices are supposed to be already paired and the Bluetooth address of the headset to be known.
As far as I learned, the Bluetooth capabilities (available since version 2.0 of the Android SDK) are restricted to Bluetooth discovery and the connection of RFComm channels (host/client) between the Android phone and a Bluetooth device. Is there another way to request Bluetooth profiles on the Android system to initiate a connection to a known device from an app or is this impossible?
