I have a Samsung Moment and it is connected to my iMac for file sharing. By default when you connect, you get a generic drive icon with the title NO NAME.
Does anyone know of a way to change the generic icon? Usually you can do this with the 'get info' feature on the Mac, but once I did this, I just get a blank ICO icon file.
Just thought it would be cooler to use the Android robot icon instead whenever I connect my phone.
Need an example of how to create/start a new activity from the main activity. I have a button click event on the main layout. Originally I just used setContentView(R.layout.secondactivity); which brings up the layout but I don't think that is correct since the secondactivity class is not instantiated at this point yet. I have looked for such an example and can not find one.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to hide the title bar for some of my activities. The problem is that I applied a style to all my activities, therefore I can't simply set the theme to @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar. Using the NoTitleBar theme as a parent for my style would remove the title bar for to much activities. Can I set a no title style item somewhere?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a custom titlebar in my app that looks like this (essentially):
For some reason, the icon shows up, but not the title text. It's really weird. For a split second you see the title text, but then it disappears and only the icon shows in the title.
My code is as follows:
==========================window_title.xml======== ==================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
androidrientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="60px"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:gravity="center_vertical"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI guess I have my first major problem with the phone that I can't seem to figure out. As of last night, the battery icon on the top right of the screen has been showing a "?" symbol instead of the usual colored meter.
I tried charging it and the symbol doesn't change it either. Also, it does not seem to charge. I tried turning my phone on and off...and it doesn't do anything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to give my application launcher icon (the one that is displayed on the startscreen!) a different, shorter caption. It seems the launcher takes its label from the mainfest section about the main activity's label, as here:
<activity android:name="MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_short_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
I already changed the original reference to my app's name @string/app_name to a different, shorter string resource here. BUT - big BUT: this also of course changes this activity's default title! And I did not want that to happen, there's enough space for a long application name! Setting the long title again in onCreate using the setTitle(int) method does no good either, because the short name will be visible to the user for a short time, but long enough to notice!
And - please don't answer my question by refering to a custom titlebar... I do not want to go that long way, just because of a stupid string title! It's a pain to draw a custom title bar for so little effect! Is there no easy way to just give the launcher a different string to display?
Anyone know what the default Activity Title font size/style is? I'm creating a custom title but would like to match the other Activities.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm starting an activity when a button is pressed, and normally (in other apps) haven't had an issue. But when I press the button in this app, I get an "unable to marshal value" error.Exact(ish) error from LogCat:
03-22 02:49:02.883:
WARN/System.err(252):
java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcel:
unable to marshal value

I feel that this might be related to the extra that I'm passing to the intent. I'm passing an ArrayList as a serializable to this new intent. My concern is that the data structure that the ArrayList contains isn't being serialized (as it's a personal data structure).Is the array list content data structure causing this? Something else that I'm missing?
I'm working on an app and I want to integrate the Last.fm app into it. Basically, when someone is looking at an artist in my app, I would like to have a button that they can tap to open up Last.fm application with the artist's information.
This intent works, but it loads a menu asking which app I would like to use (Browser or Last.fm):
CODE:..........
However, I just want to start the Last.fm app and skip the dialog asking which app to use, I thought maybe using the setPackage() method would work like this: i.setPackage("fm.last.android");
But it causes the app to crash:
CODE:............
Is it possible to just start the Last.fm app?
Here's a copy of Last.fm's AndroidManifest.xml for reference.
I followed the directions verbatim in this Android tutorial, copying/pasting the code from the site to my app. http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html
However, when I try to run in the Android emulator, I get the error: "The application Hello Tab Widget has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I have 4 Tabs in a TabHost...let them be A,B,C,D.... now each one is just an index page and clicking on any of them shows a different activity...

I'm trying to start a floating activity from onStart to retrieve some info from the user right when the initial activity begins.
I have the following:
CODE:............
And callProfileDialog() is just:
CODE:..........
ProfileDialog.class returns a String from an input box. If the result returned is RESULT_CANCELED then I restart the activity.
The problem I'm having is that when the program starts, the screen is just black. If I hit the Back button a RESULT_CANCELED is returned then the initial activity shows as well as the floating activity (since it recalled itself when it got a RESULT_CANCELED). Why can't I get the activities show by calling ProfileDialog.class from onStart()? I got the same result when I called it at the end of onCreate() which is way I switch over to use onStart().
I have also tried the following:
CODE:.........
But this doesn't work either. It all works fine once I hit the back button but without doing that, it's all black.
