Currently I have 2 mobile networks for my mobile say they are A and B. Is there a way to automatically detect the mobile networks if there are A and B then choose A? Or just simply choose A no matter whether there is B available? I want to search for GSM networks operators
available and select the preferred one.

I want to select preferred network operators automatically from device. After I search for it, I found following:
Code:
final int EVENT_AUTO_SELECT_DONE = 300;
Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage(EVENT_AUTO_SELECT_DONE);
phone.setNetworkSelectionModeAutomatic(msg);
So I need an instance of class "Phone". I tried this:
Code:
String phoneFactoryName = "com.android.internal.telephony.PhoneFactory";
String phoneName = "com.android.internal.telephony.Phone";
Class phoneFactoryClass = Class.forName(phoneFactoryName);
Class phoneClass = Class.forName(phoneName);
Method getDefaultPhone = phoneFactoryClass.getMethod("getDefaultPhone");
Object phoneObject = getDefaultPhone.invoke(null);
But the method "getDefaultPhone" can only called by looper.
Next I tried this:
Code:
String phoneAppName = "com.android.phone.PhoneApp";
Class phoneAppClass = Class.forName(phoneAppName);
Method getInstanceMethod = phoneAppClass.getMethod("getInstance");
Object phoneObject = getInstanceMethod.invoke(null);
But I get a ClassNotFoundException.
I live in border area of my state, ,so that is also the border of my telecom operator. Every time I search my home network, after some time it automatically select the roaming network. Is any app available for keeping mobile network in manual mode or any other way to prevent searching mobile network in automatically?

The relevant parts of my ListViewActivity: public class MyListViewActivity extends ListActivity browsed around stackoverflow.com and the google; the above is something that should work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay I am using the Sprint Hero and am looking for a different browser. I currently use Dolphin, and I like it, but my main complaint is that if I save a bookmark with it, it doesn't go to the same bookmark list as my widget. That is one feature I would like the browser to have, though that may only be on the default one. I do like that you can download Youtube videos with Dolphin. I know there are a few others, such as Opera and Steel. Which do you suggest, knowing the things I like to do with my browser?
View 40 Replies View RelatedThe documentation for sendOrderedBroadcast() describes the function as following: "Broadcast the given intent to all interested BroadcastReceivers, delivering them one at a time to allow more preferred receivers to consume the broadcast before it is delivered to less preferred receivers."
How do we specify which receiver is preferred, such that the preferred receiver gets the first shot at handling the intent?
To illustrate, say I have 2 possible activities, ActivityA and ActivityB, to handle them intent. If both are alive, I would like ActivityA to always handle the intent in favor of ActivityB.
New to Android and starting to work on file mgmt. I set up some subfolders on my SD card for pictures. I have been moving pictures from one folder to another, but I can only move one at a time. Is there a way to select multiple picture files and move them to another folder (like "Select All" with Windows)? This is the sequence I've been following: Use the Edit Icon in the Astro taskbar, select Move, then going to the directory folder I want to move them, and hit Paste. Moving one file at a time is taking for ever.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to find out how to create an intent that will open the user's preferred browser without specifying the URL. I know how to open it by giving a specific URL like this:Intent intent = new Intent();intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData (android.net.Uri.parse ("http://www.google.com")) ;context.startActivity (intent);I don't want to open the browser to any page in particular, just the set homepage or whatever page the user was on last. I've thought about looking up the homepage set within the app but you can't do it with the default Browser app because it is private. Does anybody know of a way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to have my home-screen application register itself as the default home-screen so the user is not prompted with the IntentResolver's list of all the available home-activities.
This is my code:
CODE:.................
I have the android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS set in the manifest. After executing the code above, the logs claim things have been added like expected (same logs as when I tick off "Make default" from IntentResolver's list). However, when I proceed by clicking home, the list still shows up and the logs say:
CODE:.....................
So it seems the resolver deletes the default entry. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a security measure? What are the ideas behind this?
I am sure this is old but, I downloaded Handcent at least 10 times already. I like the customization. It's the best SMS Application to me, but I'm not sure if it makes my phone run a bit laggy. I always go back to the stock app even tho its kind of boring, but very fast. I guess the question is, Is Handcent really worth it to you?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI made a remote starter, keyless entry, and window roll down module out of a Linksys router. It serves up a webpage that I access from my Android through WIFI connected directly to the router. I just have to be within WIFI range to operate it. It works flawlessly. No actual internet involved.
Here is what I would like to do: Create an app that accesses each webpage to control it. I am thinking webview, but I don't ever want to see the actual web page. The app just needs to open the page in the background to make the control work. The current hassle is that I have to go to my WIFI settings and select the router. Use the control and then set my WIFI back to the original connection. Is there a way to have the phone automatically connect to the router associated with this app upon app initialization and then have it return the WIFI setting to the previous state after the app is closed?

I would like to create a search in my app which acts like the map search in the Google Maps app. I have creates an an auto complete text view which updates dynamically based on the results of the Geocoder.GetLocationByName() Method.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my Milestone from Vivo (Brazil), but since Vivo is legally bound to unlock it upon request, I use it on TIM. It already came with android 2.1.I am used to TIM's coverage in my region and I am noticing that Milestone hardly ever gets 3G signal on areas with good coverage on my old N95, except when I set it to WCDMA only, when it works great with 3g.However, since there are areas where 3g coverage is not available, I try to set it to WCDMA Preferred option with no success.As soon as I leave the screen settings go back to default (GSM Auto PRL) and 3G picks up for like 5 minutes in a whole day.Anyone's got the same issue? Know how to make the option stick? Is this a network restriction?

Using this library, ZXing, we have a project at school in which we'll implement a inventory system using Android phones.
We aim to use an Android phone to be a inexpensive replacement to this:
I've read some of the warnings on the FAQ for certain phones. Is there a specific phone that Android developers prefer (with use of the ZXing library in mind)? We have to buy the phone ourselves, so we would prefer not to buy the wrong phone!
I have a few scenarios where I guess I am not alone with. There is no easy solution but this has to be on top of the list I think.
1. Suppose you have an application that is compiled with 1.5 and is working fine even if started on a 1.6 device. But you now want to support other resolutions, so you need to compile with 1.6. Problem: If I recompile and publish the new apk, the 1.5 users want see my applications. Users already downloaded my application can not upgrade. (will there be a "new version" available shown to them in the market?)
2. Lets say your application works fine on 1.5 and 1.6 and you decided to publish your application twice with different package names. "MyApplication 1.5" and "MyApplication 1.6" for example. Problem: The user upgrading from a older version does not know that there is a new version, because you published a new Application. You can write it into the description and tell the user to download the 1.6 version but many users might not read that Settings from the other application are lost. Your downloads are split into two applications, so you might not make it into the top ranks that easy . You might even need to publish 4 applications if you have a light and a paid version.
3. Now 2.0 SDK is available and you want to add multi touch features or any other new stuff for all 2.0 users. Problem: The above problems are getting even worse. There is no way to easily upload multiple apks for the same application. Having to rename the package is also not making this better. Every time svn freaks out and marks everything as new. Sharing code between versions is difficult because of that.
I don't know if its just "3" (provider in Austria), but I still have not received an official update to 1.6. Testing on the real device is not possible with a 1.6 image if you don't want to root your phone and update the rom manually. 2.0 will be on some devices soon, so there is definitely a need to support all 3 versions. There should be a faster update cycle for the users or a slower update of new versions meaning bigger steps. or We get an easier way to support multiple versions. This also means we need a way to know how many actual devices with version 1.5 / 1.6 / 2.0 are already sold and/or upgraded. If i know that 1.5 is only on about 5% of the devices left, then I can just stop supporting that version and upgrade.
I've been trying to find a way to upload a video from an Android device to an API, but I haven't found a good way to do it. It seems most of the information I've found online is fairly out of date (a lot of it being from last year). Most of them are using a method like this: http://getablogger.blogspot.com/2008/01/android-how-to-post-file-to-php-server.html
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen implementing search in my application, I'm including some search context info depending on the activity where search is invoked. In one of those, I'd like to implement type-to-search as well, but the standard method of adding search context info doesn't work in that case... the onSearchRequested() method in the activity is never called. Is there any way to include search context info in a type-to-search invocation, or am I stuck with only the Search key and menu option?
