Android : Way To Download / Replace Droid Resource Files?
May 13, 2010
My application will have some customisation for each company that uses it. Up until now, I have been loading images and strings from resource files. The idea is that the default resources will be distributed with the application and company specific resources will be loaded from our server after they click on a link from an email to launch the initialisation intent. Does anyone know how to replace resource files? I would really like to keep using resource files to avoid rewriting a lot of code/XML. I would distribute the application from our own server, rather than through the app store, so that we could have one version per company, but unfortunately this will give quite nasty security warnings that would concern our customers.

I know I've been posting lots of noob questions today, but I am a noob to rooting and I'm trying to get everything straightened out.
When I flash an sbf file, particularly the one that returns to 2.0.1 stock, does that replace 1) the kernel, 2) bootloader, 3)baseband, and anything else I can't think of? lol
I just like to have a backup plan incase something goes terribly wrong and I'm hoping that the .sbf file will replace every single component on my droid so I can start fresh if need be.

I'm trying to download the SMS app from XDA and the guy has it up as a zip file. I download it and extract it, and it's a folder with random crap in it. No apk.
Then I read that I just change the file name. I'm on a Mac, so I change the filename and it verifies if I want to change it from .zip to .apk and I say "yes." Put it on my card and Astro still doesn't recognize it. It's list, but it's an icon with a window and a gear in front of it.
I installed the Vanilla email app, no problem. Not sure what the deal is with this one.

Does android resource files for values and layouts have any way to import other xml files. This is a good approach for products, where there is a core module and many sub modules. The Submodule may also use some of the core defined key value pairs etc. Also, in case with a module, if the view is very complex.. better to manage them as different xml's. Are there any other approach to handle this.. by way R inheritance etc.. I suppose only one R supported per application.

Is there a way to access a raw resource file by having its filename in a String? According Google's documentation, I need to use "Resources.openRawResource (R.raw.myDataFile)". This requires that I have the file name at compile time, but what if I have 20 or so files and want to do something to a specific file by passing its file name at runtime?

I've recently upgraded the Android SDK to the latest version, and I'm trying to re-build the ApiDemos project. I've imported it properly.
The problem is
1. the .aidl files aren't being processed at all by Eclipse during the pre-processing stage.
2. R.java isn't re-generated at all by eclipse
Using Eclipse, Helios release.

Can I have sub-folders to hold my drawable resources. For example can I store an image in, say, 'res/drawable/content/images/myimage.jpg' and then find that resource via a call to:
id = context.getResources().getIdentifier("com.mycompany.myprog:drawable/ content/images/myimage", null, null);
I have tried this and it doesn't seem to be working (but I may have something wrong). Is it supposed to work or do all the resources need to be in the root drawable folder? Also, are jpeg files supported and drawable resources?

When I am trying to download files from certain websites, including my school's website, the files attempt to download and complete almost instantly, usually with varying bytes or KB of data downloaded, not the full file. On my school's site I try to download a variety of file types including .pdf .doc .ppt and some .zip and it's the same thing with all of them, this has happened on several other sites as well, but usually I can download these file types without a problem. I am just wondering what could be causing this problem and if it is fixable.

So i'm running BBv0.4 and it keeps saying "phone does not support" when i try and download themes, stopota.zip, and some others. What am i doing wrong? Do i need to do it through a PC, a file manager, or something else? Other than this the rom seems to be running great! i just can't download somethings so i'm thinking i'm missing some point or something.

I have a friend who has a moto droid and I have the Dinc. We work for the railroad and we can carry the railroad rules on our phones instead of carrying our rule books. I use Isilo on my phone and download the rules from the UPRR web page. My friend installed Isilo but his moto droid won't allow him to download PDB isilo files. When he tries to download the file it say's that the file is an unsupported file. Can someone help please?

I'm porting to Android. My existing project has a ton of resource files that I'm porting into my Android project. I have them all in /res/raw/, and I would like to access those resources in my native library with functions such as fopen() and such. Can this be done, or do I have to go through JNI for this as well? I would really prefer not to, for ease of porting and possible speed and memory reasons.

I am currently developing a dictionary application with voice database. I would like to know about the current Android limitation on the file size. I am using a self-provided sqlite database ( > 50mb ) . I tested that once the built .apk size exceeds ~30mb the app will not be installed onto the simulator (INSTALL_FAILED_ INSUFFICIENT _STORAGE). Could anyone confirm me that if up until now there is no way to embed such large size files in a single apk ( Aimed to sell at Google Market without requiring user to download datafile afterwards). Also, is there a limitation of 1,048,576 bytes for a single file in the assets folder ?

I have an XML resource file:
<resources> <section>
<category value="1" resourceId="@xml/categoryData1" />
<category value="2" resourceId="@xml/categoryData2" />
<category value="3" resourceId="@xml/categoryData3" />
</section> </resources>
Using XmlPullParser, on the START_TAG, I can use:
int value = parser.getAttributeIntValue(null, "value", 0);
to get values 1, 2, 3...however:
int resourceId = parser.getAttributeIntValue(null, "resourceId", 0);
doesn't work...it just yields the default value 0, or whatever I change the default value (3rd parameter) to be. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if this is possible?

I'd like to be able to compile an Android app on my desktop, upload it to my phone and launch the app without having to plug in my phone via USB. I want this for 1) convenience when developing and 2) SD card access isn't available when plugged in. One idea I had was to write an app that would download the app from the computer wirelessly (e.g. or via a website the app was uploaded to) and then launch the app. The APK doesn't need to be installed in this process, but if it did, I wouldn't want there to be any user interaction. Is this possible? I suspect it won't be because of security implications. Are there any alternative ways to do this? I essentially want some way to do over the air updates for an application. Perhaps I can upload a single class file for the app that can be launched?

I've tried downloading/transferring several files to my incredible over 3g. Tried downloading a couple times through the stock browser and also i've tried downloading through dropbox but every time the download gets randomly interrupted sometime between when 20mb - 100mb is done. I am not getting any calls or texts or anything that would interrupt it - it seems like the phone is going to sleep in the middle of the download or something. The files I am trying to transfer are approx 200mb .MP4 files and .MP3 files. Anyone know how to fix this problem and/or know of an app that will let you download or transfer large files from my home computer or from HTTP through my web host? On my BB Storm I had to use opera browser to download large files so maybe a different browser would work?

I've set set files to localhost an set the href links for the epub files.
<a href="more-utopia.epub" target="_blank"> more-utopia </a><br>
And I've try to browse from my custom web view but when I click to download the link, it appears no download and open the file in the browser with custom web view.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.loadUrl("http://10.0.2.2/epub");
web.setWebViewClient(new myWebView());
} class myWebView extends WebViewClient{
@Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
url = "http://10.0.2.2/epub/"; view.loadUrl(url); return true;
} }
What I want to do is to download the files and want to set path the download location to user selected location.
