Android :: Use Default Droid Drawables / Risk To Remove Or Resize It?
Jul 8, 2010
What is the best approach when using default Android drawables? Should I use android.R.drawable or should I copy the drawables in my project and use R.drawable?
Is there any risk, that in a newer version of Android, some of the default drawables are removed or resized? Or, affect in some negative way, the look of my app? Also, which of the drawables in the Android source code are considered "stable" and should be relied on?
I'd rather not copy the drawables because I think that the look of the app should be consistent with the Android version used. So, for example, for version 1.6 it should use the default Android bitmaps for version 1.6.

The widgets on my Cube U9GT 2 tablet running on Android 4.0.3 / Ice Cream Sandwich are huge. Please check out the attached screenshots.
I am using the default ICS launcher. I could not resize them by tapping and holding - there would not be any widget resize handles. I would like to "hack" the config files to shrink these widgets to a more sensible size.

Why is there not a sticky listing default apps that are safe to remove and, probably more importantly, NOT safe to remove? Seems like this would be good info (especially for noobs) to see.

I've been flashing my Optimus 2x with different roms from miui to cyanogenmod 7 to 9. I've been wondering because earlier some of my apps were perfectly functioning (e.g. market, temple run, and titanium backup) until I attempted to flash an update zip of titanium backup and Go sms (manual install). Now these apps are keeping force closing on my SelfKang 3 ICS.

I just bought Documents to Go, and so far love the actual program. One issue though, which I think may have more to do with the Android OS, is setting Documents to Go as the default fro opening Word/Excel/PDF/PPT files. When I try to open a Word Document (using ASTRO, DroidBox, or anything else) it asks me what app to use. The list has "Documents to Go" and "QuickOffice". If I pick "Word to Go", and tell it to use that as the default, it works. However if I then try to open a different file type (say an Excel file) it attempts to open it with Word to Go and obviously gives an error about it being the wrong/unsupported file. If I remove Word to Go as the default handler, I can then go back to the Excel file, attempt to open it, and select Sheets to Go, it works. So, first, how do I remove QuickOffice as an option (it shows up under Manage Apps, but there is no option to remove it)? Second, how do I set Word to Go as the default for .doc/.docx file types, Sheets to Go the default for .xls/.xlsx?

There seems to be a default inner border in the WebView - it's about 6 pixels all round. How can this be removed so the size matches the content?
Simple demo (target is Google API 1.6):

Example: I have a button which starts an activity with GET_CONTENT audio/* I have a menu with choices: Music Track or Sound Recorder and a checkbox. I check the box, it tells me that I can clear the setting in Application -> Manage Applications. I launch the Music Track with the box checked. I go to the application settings, but the "clear defaults" button is always enabled. It was already the case with 1.1 SDK, 1.5 does not help (tested on emulator 1.5 AND ADP1 with 1.5 recovery image). I also tested the allowClearUserData flag but it seems we cannot clear anything but the cache (for the webview ?)

I have an activity. It does not have a title bar. The content view is just a linear layout. It looks like android draws a drop shadow at the top of my content view, directly below the status bar. Is there a way to stop that from being drawn?
My layout is just:
I have no titlebar:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

I am using stock android on the nexus 5. For one of my apps, when choosing a picture, I accidentally chose photos as the default. I was wondering how to remove this default as there is no photos app in the app list in settings. The issue with photos is this app doesn't work with it, it won't let me upload any pictures.

I've got a HTC Legend and i'm having a problem with plugging it in to charge via usb.
I use a usb dock plugged into my win 7 machine. I've always had it set to "Charge Only" and change it to mount as disk drive when I require.
However, just starting from yesterday, every time I plugged the phone it, it would mount as a disk drive and show up in windows. Strangely though, the phone still shows in the notification bar that it's "Charge only", but i can't access anything on the sd card from the phone. The only way to fix it while it's plugged in is to change it to "DIsk Drive" then back to "Charge only" via the notification bar on the phone.
I've checked the settings and it's definitely still defaulted to "Charge only" in there but obviously it's not doing it!

I have one of my screens the the People Widget (HTC) and I was wondering if any of you knew how to remove the default action for a person on that screen.For example, I have the favorites group linked and after I clicked on a person and texted them, the Favorites widet now links that person's icon to texting them every time. Anyone know how to make it not do this?I would prefer the option of either setting a default action or just opening the contact so I could choose to email, text, GPS etc.

I am using an LG Nexus 4 device with the stock Android keyboard. When texting, composing e-mails, or engaging in most functions with a keyboard, there is a smiley key on the bottom left corner next to the period. Is there any way to remove or change that key?
I use the period often, and sometimes hit that smiley key by accident. A few times in the last week, I sent serious messages and, instead of ending the sentence with a period, I ended it with a smiley. Those made for awkward moments.
By the way, I have tried Swype and SwiftKey and prefer the Android keyboard with gesture-typing. I am not interested in installing an app with a supposedly better keyboard.

I have a layout in which I resize an image by doing a transformation with prescale. After the scale the image has the right size, but the layout container around it cuts its size of. I want the layout container arround it to show to complete image. I just tried invalidate on the image, the container as well as requestLayout().

Is there a way to accomplish something similar using Resource IDs on Android?

Im developing an app which is a product catalogue. Users can search for and view products (books). It's all read only and just so allow user's to view products. When the user clicks on a product, the next screen displays
- book title
- book author
- picture of front cover.
It's the picture part that I've a question about. I know one way to present drawables is to have them in the "drawable" direction in my android project and access them (in my xml file) as android:src="@drawable/name".
Only problem is that new products will be added so I can't store drawables in the APK file when I release it. I'll need to read them at runtime. I'm wondering what the best way to approach this is.
I'm thinking of upon app launch executing an AsyncTask which would call
openConnection of HttpURLConnection and would grab down all drawable(from a particular remote directory on a website) and would then store them in the sqllite db (as a blob). Each product in the db could easily be associated with it's specific drawable.
Not sure if there's a better approach to this ? or should I save them to the internal storage of the device (I know the size is an issue with this option). Or I could, when I show the product, call the Async task to present the image - i.e.get the image when the user requests it. This sounds good.
