I need to store preferences that can be shared across those services. Is this the same as for an activity? Just use getsharedpreferences()? This doesn't seem to be documented very well.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI think that it would be too complex to open a database. Does using shared preferences make my app's data size become big. Is there a temporary storage place for my data or should I delete the data in the shared preferences for that widget.

I need to store an retrieve a vector of an unknown number of objects in an android sqlite database. Essentially, the setup is this: I am developing a task management app, where the user can add as many notes as they like to their tasks. My current setup uses one database, with one row per task. This presents a problem when I need to associate multiple notes and their associated information with one task. I can see two approaches: try to store an array of notes or a vector or something as a BLOB in the task's row, or have another notes database in which each row contains a note and it's info, as well the id of the task which the note belongs to. This seems a little easier to implement, as all I would have to do to retrieve the data would be to get a cursor of all notes matching a particular id and then iterate through that to display them to the user. However, it seems a little inefficient to have a whole new database just for notes, and it makes syncing and deleting notes a little more difficult as well. What do you think? Is it worth it to have a separate notes database? Should I use a BLOB or go for the separate database? If a BLOB, are there any good tutorials out there for storing and retrieving objects as BLOBs?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a PreferenceActivity to let the user set some values. I am feeding it the xml file with the defined preferences.
I have set all the android:defaultValue="" for them.
When I start my application, I need the preferences, or if they are not set yet manually, I want the default values:
CODE:.................
However, when android:defaultValue="true" I still get false. So, it looks like the defaultValues set in the XML are not used anywhere but when initializing the preferences-screen.
I don't want to hardcode the default values in the getBoolean() method. So, is there a way get the default-values with only defining these in 1 place?
My application is used on multiple platforms so it saves it preferences to a file (rather than to the standard Android SharedPreferences).
Is there any easy of reusing the PreferenceActivity to save preferences to a file or is it a case of creating a whole new activity to do the job? If the latter is the case is there a layout I can use that will make the activity look like the normal preferences screen? PreferenceActivity uses com.android.internal.R.layout.preference_list_content but this doesn't appear to be available to apps for reuse.
I am trying to retrieve the GPS location of the phone. I believe I cannot create an object of the class which stores the location in a variable. So that once the class gets instantiated I use a get method and retrieve the content in the variable. So I am trying to do this....
locationListener = new MyLocationListener();
lm.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0,locationListener); if(!information.equals(null)){ Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); bundle.putString("hello", information); Intent intent = new Intent(LocationActivity.this, MainActivity.class); intent.putExtras(bundle); startActivity(intent); }
and in the locationlistener class
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) { if (loc != null) { double lat=loc.getLatitude(); double lon=loc.getLongitude(); information = " "+lat +lon; Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Location Changed:"+information, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } else information="bad luck"; }
The mainactivity then displays that...but its not happening...could some one please help me how to get the values of this.
My android application has two kinds of preferences:
1) I have user preferences defined in res/xml/preferences.xml so that users can manage their preferences with a PreferenceActivity.
2) I'd like to define another file for global configuration preferences of my app.
What is the best way to manage my app config preferences? Should I create another XML file with config values or should I specify those config values in strings.xml? What is the best practice for managing config preferences?
I would like to retrieve the name of a contact associated with an incoming telephone number. As I process the incoming number in the broascastreceiver having a String with the name of the incoming caller would help my project greatly. I would think this involves a query using the sql WHERE clause as a filter, but do I need to sort the contacts? An example or hint would be of great assistance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the contact's phone number after I have retrieved their ID number from the built-in activity. However, whenever I query the database using the cursor in my code below -- I get zero rows returned even though there is a mobile number for the contact I have selected. Can anyone point me in a better direction or show an example of how to get the contact's phone number AFTER getting their userID?
My code:
private Runnable getSMSRunnable() {
return new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, CONTACTS_REQUEST_CODE);......................

There is no root element to choose from when I select the Preference type layout. If I press Finish, it doesn't do anything. See screenshot below.
