Suppose I have a text file in /data folder, is there any way I can display the textfile to user through an app?
I am writing an application that will create a textfile in the /sdcard or /data directory and write messages to the textfile.Each time I want to append the messages and not overwrite the file.
View 7 Replies View RelatedOkay, so I'm writing my first Android app and am basically stuck. The app is a short 4 question quiz with two choices per question. This creates 16 possible results, which I've created descriptions for. I want the app to display the description corresponding to the user's responses on each of the questions after the 4th question is answered. Right now I am storing the values in a string, which is supposed to build upon the previous string answer, after each question. So the first answer is t1, the second answer is t2, and so on. Here is the code for the second question: My problem is that the strings won't hold the values I assign them in the previous question. I have a textview that briefly displays the values returned by the question's answer string (t2 for Question2) and it displays null alpha or nullbeta, depending on the user's response. How do I retain the t1's previously assigned value into Question2 so I can add to it? For instance, if T = "alpha" from Question1, and the user selects button b1 in Question2 how do I make t2 actually equal "alphagamma" instead of "nullgamma"? Is this even possible with strings?

Similar to the getDateTimeInstance method from java.text.DateFormat. I'm currently just concatenating the result of both the getDateFormat and getTimeFormat's formatters, but I don't know which way around the user prefers to have their dates and times shown.

This is a trivial exercise in the Google Maps JavaScript API and in MapKit on iPhone, but it is not obvious to me what the best or easiest way to do this is on Android.

Hopefully it stays that way.I will admit tho, the screen is nice a HUGE but it isn't near as sharp and pretty as my little hero, anyone else think it has a slight blurry look to it? Maybe I have a messed up display or something.why in the world did they remove the lockscreen wallpaper? I liked that, and now it's just a blank little screen with a slider on it...can we at least customize it more?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to develop an application that should not be visible to the user. I mean an app that can't be visible at the Manage Apps screen (Settings - Applications - Manage applications) and also whose services couldn't either be visible at the Running Services screen (Settings - Applications - Running services)I know I'm trying to fight against Android's nature of being open and give control to the user. But I want, somehow, to cheat the system and pretend the app does not run and even does not exist. Is that possible?
