Android : Can I Share Preferences Between Apps?
Oct 26, 2009I have a need to share preferences between two apps, where one app writes the preferences and the other needs read only access.
I notice that there is this API available in Context :
public abstract SharedPreferences getSharedPreferences (String name, int mode). Where I can set the mode to : MODE_WORLD_READABLE which according to docs means that it will allow all other applications to have read access to the created file.
My question is : What should be my filename so that the file gets created and is shared between the apps.
If I give a relative path (getSahredPrefs("filename", MODE_WORLD_READABLE)) then it gets created in the "data" directory of the writing app and the other non creating application is not able to get to it using the same arguments i.e. - getSahredPrefs("filename", MODE_WORLD_READABLE).
So I assume I need to provide a absolute path - something like ("/data/ data/<pkgname>/<subdir>/filename", MODE_WORLD_READABLE) but I do not know how to construct that generically using provided APIs so that it works on every Android phone/image.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Preferences - How To Load The Default Values When User Hasnt Used Preferences-screen
Apr 22, 2010I am using a PreferenceActivity to let the user set some values. I am feeding it the xml file with the defined preferences.
I have set all the android:defaultValue="" for them.
When I start my application, I need the preferences, or if they are not set yet manually, I want the default values:
CODE:.................
However, when android:defaultValue="true" I still get false. So, it looks like the defaultValues set in the XML are not used anywhere but when initializing the preferences-screen.
I don't want to hardcode the default values in the getBoolean() method. So, is there a way get the default-values with only defining these in 1 place?
Android : Save Preferences Other Than Shared Preferences?
Mar 19, 2010My application is used on multiple platforms so it saves it preferences to a file (rather than to the standard Android SharedPreferences).
Is there any easy of reusing the PreferenceActivity to save preferences to a file or is it a case of creating a whole new activity to do the job? If the latter is the case is there a layout I can use that will make the activity look like the normal preferences screen? PreferenceActivity uses com.android.internal.R.layout.preference_list_content but this doesn't appear to be available to apps for reuse.

Android :: Self-contained Test Library Project Cannot Find Library Classes
Aug 17, 2010According to this SDK guide, unit-testing a Library project can be achieved by creating a standard application project, reference the Library project and then instrument the application for unit testing. However, when I do this and launch the test application I get the message.No tests found with test runner 'JUnit 3".I'm using Eclipse and the Android ADT plugin, all latest versions.the projects compile just fine. The test project also installs fine to the emulator. But in the console I can see that it looks for <library>.apk, which of course doesn't exist since I'm compiling this as a library into the test project.

Jun 23, 2010My android application has two kinds of preferences:
1) I have user preferences defined in res/xml/preferences.xml so that users can manage their preferences with a PreferenceActivity.
2) I'd like to define another file for global configuration preferences of my app.
What is the best way to manage my app config preferences? Should I create another XML file with config values or should I specify those config values in strings.xml? What is the best practice for managing config preferences?

Android :: AMF Client Library / RTMP Client Library
Apr 26, 2010Android AMF client library Aftek has extensive experience in developing enterprise Flex applications. We have used BlazeDS extensively and we believe that it would nice to provide all the benefits provided by AMF for Android applications as well. We have developed an Android AMF client library which would enable Android application developers use the same extensively. The Android AMF client library supports remoting and secured remoting. This will allow all android applications to use the existing backend like .NET, Java, or PHP. The implementation is asynchronous in nature providing success and failure callbacks. This allows application to perform other tasks without blocking the application. We are currently performing some performance benchmarking and plan to release our library very soon. We would also be incorporating the messaging feature as well.
Android RTMP client library:Aftek has extensive experience in developing voip and audio/video and media applications. Media applications has a huge market and there would be quite a few people eager to develop the medial applications on Android. We believe that it would nice to provide all the benefits provided by RTMP for Android applications as well. We are developing an Android RTMP client library which would enable Android application developers use the same extensively. Our Android RTMP client library would support some add-ons that would help developers to deliver robust media solutions.

Jan 22, 2009I'm having this problem with one of my apps where some people are reporting that their preferences are not being saved when they close and resume the app. The preferences theyre talking about happen to be actual Preferences (i.e. the built-in preferences manager for an activity). They say they're not doing anything special, just exiting the app and going back to it. Does anyone know why the prefs wouldn't be saved for only this select few people? I'm at a complete loss.
