Android :: Want To Obtain A Virgin Map
Jul 11, 2009Is there a way to obtain a virgin map with the Google Map Api or other API (no city and country names, i want only country borders)?

Is there a way to obtain a virgin map with the Google Map Api or other API (no city and country names, i want only country borders)?
Has anyone heard of any apps in the pipeline for Virgin Media UK (like the SKY app) where i can set up and record programs?
I have done a search and the only reference i can see is a company called Pushbutton. There are no dates or external links though.
I have just put my wife's orange Sim into my virgin mobile desire and when it booted up it showed the virgin animation but then on the lock bar it said orange and i was able to make calls.I know this sounds stupid to even ask but i am presuming then that the phone that virgin has provided me with is Sim free otherwise how come i could make calls using the orange Sim.

If you brick your phone, invalidate your warranty or something else goes wrong then it's down to you. I've provided this procedure for information only. I've been asked by a couple of people for step by step instructions on how I debranded my Virgin Mobile branded HTC Desire and upgraded it to 2.2. From what I can remember I carried out these steps. I've used information collected form various threads on here and elsewhere. Use at your own risk!
It was essentially done in three steps: set up HTC Sync on my PC (Windows 7 64-bit), create the gold card and then update the firmware. You need to do a bit of preparation first - save any photos, etc that are currently on your phone onto your PC using the USB cable and the phone connected in disk drive mode. Make sure your phone is fully charged. Note down the serial number of your HTC Desire (remove battery and it's on the label or select Settings>About Phone>Phone Indentity). You'll need your serial number to download HTC Sync. Also enable USB Debugging in your HTC Desire by ticking the option under Settings > Application > Development (do this on your HTC Desire)...................
i have a sprint CDMA phone that i want to flash to use with my virgin mobile acount.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI froze some Google apps and did a factory reset without unfreezing them. I now get stuck in a boot loop every time I try to start the device. flashing system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img for this phone? I can't do it through the system recovery (power + vol down) because of signature verification. I can't do it through FTM (power + vol up) either. My Supreme is pretty much a brick right now. I only resort to this because I'm unable to rename the .bak to .apk through adb because of a read-only file system. The phone has no fastboot mode, either.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to write an app on Android to upload my GPS location to an external website once every 5 minutes. This needs to have as minimal an impact on battery life as possible, but it also needs to work without any user interaction. (Background: I'm competing in an Ironman triathlon which will take me about 14 hours to complete, and want to broadcast my location in near-real-time but without having to worry about fiddling with my phone.) So my initial thought is to write a Service which uses LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates() with a minTime of 5 minutes, but will this actually wake the device up every 5 minutes for my service to do its job?
It sounds like I would also need to use AlarmManager.setInexactRepeating() to make sure my service is awake while it completes its task but how does that play with requestLocationUpdates()? Should I instead set minTime=0 on requestLocationUpdates() but then go back to sleep as soon as the next update is obtained? Any general guidance on how to design this. I'm a competent Java programmer & will be using Google Maps on the server to plot my location, but am pretty new to Android development so I'm basically looking for a high-level plan on how to architect the client app.
I'm trying to obtain an instance of ServiceState in my Activity. But how am i supposed to do this? There is no static method to obtain an instance or any method on any service that returns an ServiceState instance.
There is the TelephonyManager.listen() call. But i want to get the ServiceState instance when i want, not when android calls my listener because something changed.
The documentation of ServiceState can be found here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/ServiceState.html
I wish to obtain the frequency of an input signal from the mic. Can anyone send me some pointers on how this may be accomplished.

I have setup 2 test contacts in my emulator.
I'm running the following query, it should pick them both out, populate my domain object, and add to a list. The output at the bottom should therefore be 2, but it is 5, why is this? (cursor.getCount() is 5 instead of 2)
I have stepped through each iteration of the while loop and it is retreving the same contact multiple times, but with different values for POSTCODE, such as the phone number
CODE:..................
My program will show data based on selection from two spinners (month and year). Based on month and year, it will query DB and displays the content in listview.
I created two spinners and populate with array string. Then I created two spinner views, two arrayadapters and set onItemSelected listeners and set adapter to the views. Then I use cursor to get query from DB, then put the result into simple cursor adapter and put them into list adapter. Finally I use list view to add this listadapter. Result shows properly. It is OK when the queries is not too much. But when there are lots of queries, it is difficult to see. So I want to implement paging for my program. For example: I get 100 queries, and I want to show them like 10 or 20 queries per page. I can control how many records per page via another spinner.
But the main problem is that I don't know how to get subset data or subview from return queries (listview).
Are there any methods in listadapter or android can do that ? I'm still new in android. I also read some documents about getView(), I don't understand and not sure whether it can help on my purpose.
I am porting a Python application to Android and, at some point, this application has to communicate with a Web Service, sending it compressed data. In order to do that it uses the next method:
def stuff(self, data): "Convert into UTF-8 and compress."
return zlib.compress(simplejson.dumps(data))
I am using the next method to try to emulate this behavior in Android:
private String compressString(String stringToCompress) { Log.i(TAG, "Compressing String " + stringToCompress);
byte[] input = stringToCompress.getBytes();
// Create the compressor with highest level of compression Deflater compressor = new Deflater();
//compressor.setLevel(Deflater.BEST_COMPRESSION);
// Give the compressor the data to compress compressor.setInput(input); compressor.finish();
// Create an expandable byte array to hold the compressed data.
// You cannot use an array that's the same size as the orginal because
// there is no guarantee that the compressed data will be smaller than
// the uncompressed data.
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(input.length);
// Compress the data byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while (!compressor.finished()) { int count = compressor.deflate(buf);
bos.write(buf, 0, count); } try { bos.close();
} catch (IOException e) { } // Get the compressed data byte[] compressedData = bos.toByteArray();
Log.i(TAG, "Finished to compress string " + stringToCompress);
return new String(compressedData);
}
But the HTTP response from the server is not correct and I guess it is because the result of the compression in Java is not the same as the one in Python. I ran a little test compressing "a" both with zlib.compress and deflate.
Python, zlib.compress() -> x%9CSJT%02%00%01M%00%A6
Android, Deflater.deflate -> H%EF%BF%BDK%04%00%00b%00b
How should I compress the data in Android to obtain the same value of zlib.compress() in Python?

I want to get the current bitmap associated with my canvas so I can perform operations on it. I can't see how to do this though.
I've seen some examples where you create a bitmap and set the canvas to use this bitmap, so obviously you can then access it later, but I'm using the canvas returned from a SurfaceHolder so there's no constructor.
For instance, examples often show this kind of thing:
CODE:...........
So at this point I can see bmp.
In my case, the canvas is obtained by:
CODE:......
So how can I get the bitmap for c?
In short, my aim is to capture the current canvas contents where I have drawn "stuff", and make a copy of it, reversed, to put underneath. Like a reflection. The example of this that I found performed it all via bitmaps, so I assumed I needed to somehow capture the current canvas to a bitmap to then use it.
I need to capture an image from camera and display on surfaceview for my project. I am trying to obtain bitmap from data in onPreviewFrame method of previewCallback and display on surface using canvas.
