Android :: Transforming Some Special Characters
Jul 9, 2010
I have a list with some Belgian cities with accentued ( is that the right english word?) characters: (Liège,Quiévrain,Franière, etc.) and I would like to transform these special characters to compare with a list containing the same names in upper case, but without these characters ( LIEGE, QUIEVRAIN, FRANIERE) What i first tried to do was to use the upper case: LIEGE.contentEqual(Liège.toUpperCase()) but that doesn't fit because the Upper case of Liège is LIÉGE and not LIEGE. I have some complicated ideas like replacing each characters, but that sound stupid and a long process.

I do not have a device. I am testing on the emulator. When I send a message(problematically and through the device) with special characters I am not able to view them properly. For Example: When I send a message from one emulator to another say "~Ha". I see only the character "~" in the other emulator.
But when I send the same message from the DDMS, I do not see the problem. Is this a problem with the emulator or am i missing somthing. sm.sendTextMessage("5556", null, "~Ha", null, null);

I am trying to update a SQLite table in my Android application. Predicate for this update is built around a column which stores different resource URLs.These URLs might contain special characters such as /~?=; (and even &).The update query doesnt work; it does not identify the column satifying the condition.How can I escape these characters?

Specifically music notes.
its not a horrible ordeal, just a very minor annoyance, HOWEVER
im curious as to whether or not theres some type of character set or language package i can apply that will show these types of characters.
example:
INCREDIBLE BROWSER
DESKTOP BROWSER
any ideas? p.s calling the phone a "DInc" is the stupidest thing on the planet.

I am going to import the Droid/Milestone from UK to Denmark, but need to know if it is possible to type special characters like ï, ï and ï from the hardware keyboard and/or the softkeyboard. And does anyone know if it is possible to install a danish dictionary?

I type a lot on my Milestone, and I'm really loving the keyboard. Though in Norwegian, we use "�" "�" and "�" a lot and typing in Norwegian isn't that great. Quite a few common words use those letters frequently, and having to longpress A or O and then tap the screen isn't really practical..
Does anyone know if it could be possible to make another solution? Either double tap (aaeeoo) or longpress brings the letters directly.

When writing using the keyboard I can not seem to find the way to insert special characters none are available when I click symbol key.
My dictionary is in spanish, but the phone main language is set to english; is this the problem?
If so, it should not be. Messaging should use dictionary and not phone language.
also, is there really a need for limiting character counts when using special characters? (YuS it needs more info, but doesn't the Standard for character representation take care of this)

Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I could send special characters (i.e: �, �, �, �, �, ect) in text messages. Then, it wouldn't anymore. I believe my phone updated to Jelly Bean before it stopped, so it may be connected to that. When I try to send a message with any type of special character in it, the message simply won't send. No matter if I use the messenger than came on the phone, or the one I installed (Handcent). I still get the message just not sending. It'll send once I take the characters out of the message, though. I can normally receive messages containing special characters, but they sometimes it shows up as squares.
Mostly, I want to know if I can fix it. I understand that it may be the update, which I'll have to wait out. Or that it could be the phone itself, which in that case I'd just have to wait till I can upgrade again. It's just very annoying not being able to send accents or special characters. Especially to my Spanish only speaking friends.

I'm working with a CheckBox that needs to hace some links appearing as text, not urls. I'm using something like this:
CODE:................
If I understand well, if the text in the checkbox contains "(something here)" it should output "something here" without parentheses.
This is just a test before adding the link ie. (go to google-http://www.google.com)
The thing is the links look like links but they are not modified (still with parentheses). Even if I put a schema or I hardcode the String in transformUrl method nothing happens.
I tried with setting autoLink to none, setAutoLinkMask(0), and maybe some more but still stuck.

I'm new to Android application development and I'm currently experimenting with various UI ideas. In the image below, you can see a vertically scrolling list of horizontally scrolling galleries (and also textviews as you can see). I'm also doing some matrix and camera transformations which I will come to in a minute.
For the background of the list elements, I use green. Blue is the background of the galleries, and red is the background for the images. These are just for my benefit of learning.
The galleries being used are extended classes where I overrode the drawChild method to perform a canvas scale operation in order for the image closest to the center (width) to be larger than the others. The list view going vertically, I overrode the drawChild method and used the camera rotations from lack of depth dimension in the canvas functionality. The items in the list are scaled down and rotated relative to their position's proximity to the center (height).............

I have a ListView, and I want to do something special with the first item in the listview.
So, I setup an adapter, an item in separate xml a java wrapper for the item and I have a "render()" method.
Inside my render method, I realized that I can't do something like "findViewById(R.id.test)" because all the items in the listview have the same id. How can I get just the first item?

I see that as of API Level 8, you can request a handle to special directories with Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory. This takes a type such as DIRECTORY_MUSIC, DIRECTORY_PICTURES, etc.
I'm looking for an equivalent directory for other media types such as documents (Word docs, PDFs, etc.). My HTC Desire has a "/sdcard/My Documents/" folder which looks like exactly what I want, but it has no DIRECTORY_ specifier for use with the above method. Is this a standard Android directory which I can rely on?
If I can't use getExternalStoragePublicDirectory, I have to use getExternalStorageDirectory instead which just points me to the root of the SD card. I can explicitly check for the presence of "My Documents" under the root and use it if it's there.
This is what I have:
CODE:..........
Is there a better way?

I'm a college student, and there's daily specials at bars, salsa dance nights, special meetings, lectures, etc. And all these things happen around me. I don't want to just put them into my calendar and have them flooding it, but I would like some app to hold such things. Anyone know what I can use that isn't my default so I can retain my personal schedule and, if I want to do extra, can see this app's contents?

I've developed an appWidget by inheriting AppWidgetProvider and adding it to the manifest as a receiver with the appwidget-metatag. Works fine. Two questions though: 1. It seems that the only reason to add APPWIDGET_UPDATE to the intentfilter of the receiver is to let the widgetpicker recognize it as an appwidget? The intents (update/enable/disable) it received no matter if they are included in the intentfilter or not. How come? 2. When adding a permission to the receiver to disable spoofed intents, I actually expected the APPWIDGET_XXX intents not to be received since they are(?) sent from a sender without the permission. Not so, they arrived just as before. How is this possible? Do these intents get some special treatment by the system?

I need an advice. What is the best way to implement in android a list of such UI elements (see the ref)A list contains a lot of such elements (about 30-40). I'm using now relative layout and 4 text fields and I think it isn't a good way.I think it's too heavy (full list will contain: 30 relative layouts and 30*5 = 150 text fields).

I have a need to force my application to the front under special circumstances. I know its against the good coding philosophy but I am working on a turnkey solution where I control the complete device. The app is used internally as a business tool and supplied to the users on a stripped down device. I have searched but cannot see a way but know that it can be done as in the Application Protection app. This can react to the launching of an application and kill it / allow it by entering a password.

Question: My wife and I both have an Evo 4g. We live in the US. She will be traveling Europe for three months and I would like for her to be able to call me free through WiFi access. What app would be best for this situation? Something that is most like a normal phone call would be ideal. Also I would much rather be able to receive calls without running a special app. Simple and easy is important.

The App I'm trying to work on requires that when a special combination of keys are pressed ( irrespective of the keypad being locked ) a service / app is triggered.
How can I achieve this? My app's whole idea hinges on this particular part to work.
I am not here to take a "no" for an answer. If you are going to tell me that its not possible, atleast include an explanation as to why its not possible.

I am using Handcent on my Droid. I have it all set up to use a different tone to remind me of messages (at least I think I do). Instead, it just plays the initial tone as a reminder.
For example, when I get a text message:
<wild bird> -one minute- <wild bird> -one min- <wild bird>
But I want:
<wild bird> -one minute- <honk> -one min- <honk>
Where "honk" is the reminder sound. Anyone know why this might be happening?

Is it possible to develop an Android app that would answer an incoming call and play a recorded message to the calling party without the phone ringing? For example, if a specific caller called during certain hours play a message asking them to call a different number during those hours.
In a similar vein, is it possible to intercept a call and if it is in a certain list of phone numbers divert it directly to voice mail without the phone ringing?
Thanks for any insights into this
