The AndroidManifest.xml contains the version name of the application, something like: android:versionName="1.0"
Now the question - is it somehow possible to access this version name in the source code, so that I can display it for example in an About Dialogue?

My requirement is, I want to auto increament the android:versionName value on every compilation of my build in eclipse. I can access it through packageInfo api but how can I modify it without doing manually.

Is there any way using "just eclipse" to automatic update android:versionCode and/or android:versionName each time I rebuild my app or every time I export it?
As I don't know any way of doing it with eclipse, I'm thinking about making a build_app script that change the values and use the script before generating the apk file, but I feel like there should be an "really easy" option.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor instance, let's take android.permission.GET_PACKAGE_SIZE. Searching for this string in Android 1.6 *.xml source files only points to a single application that uses it, frameworksas estsAndroidTests.
So the next step is to search through the .java files in a hope that I'll eventually find the code that might look like it queries for a package size. Is this the supposed way of discovering permission use?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have found an issue. I have a server that uses User Agent header to identify the device that is connecting to it. But when i connect to the server using HttpURLConnection i get no User Agent header, but when i connect with the browser it sends the correct User Agent.
For testing i am using an echo server that replies with the headers it found on the request.
When i connect with browser i get: eg: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 1.5; en-fr; HTC Hero Build/CUPCAKE) AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Mobile Safari/525.20.1 Up.Link/6.3.1.20.06.3.1.20.0.
But when i connect by code with UrlConnection i get: User-Agent: UNAVAILABLE.
Does anyone know we i get different behaviors? How i can i connect in the same way the browser does?

That is instead of using predefined Intend actions like "ACTION_MAIN" can I create my own action and use it in my code?
If so how do I do that?
I have been surfing for this detail for long but dint find anything useful. Can any of u help me regarding this?
First of all, maybe i went about this the wrong way in the first place. Situation is, i have a listview that when an item is clicked, it creates an intent and calls startActivityForResult() to another activity, to be able to edit the entries in the row. and that other activity after editing the required values, returns back to the calling activity, when the user clicks on a save button. The activity then uses the row Id to update the item.My problem now is that, if the user presses the BACK button instead, the application crashes. i have been looking around and see solutions like using Shared Preferences or onSavedInstanceState(), but i don't know where exactly i should be putting the code?

View 5 Replies View Relatedis there some way to retrieve the manifest.xml of an application from the market, without installing the application? I think the official Market Application somehow get this file (or at least parts of it) to show needed permissions, etc. before installing. I'd be interested in seeing the IntentFilters defined by applications and their activities and processing this information in my application.

I simply want to read the package value in the android manifest...
CODE:......
The reason is simple I have to call context.getResources().getIdentifier(...)and I need the package.
Since this code will be reused in other apps I want to make it fool proof when I export it and therefore not have to change the value each time.
How do I indicate in the manifest multiple packages
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add permissions to my application manifest, so it can access other apps that the user installs at runtime. I thought the way to do this was to define a permission-tree in the manifest, and then use PackageManager.addPermission() to add permissions under that tree. However, I can't get this to work and the documentation I found wasn't conclusive. Could anybody show me how to do this by means of a simple example?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, I added the receiver (contained in application) in the manifest. Broadcast doesn't fire my broadcast receive.
<receiver android:name="mypkg.IncomingCallReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.telephony.TelephonyManager.ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED"/ >
</intent-filter>
I have two applications A and B (in different packages). A can send an explicit intent to B to perform some kind of action. Then,I enforced a permission in application B called "my.permissions.B_PERMISSION ". The A application can still call B despite the fact that it doesn't have the appropriate <uses-permission> in its manifest. Have I understood something wrong?
