View 3 Replies View RelatedGot my new extended battery today. Before I start using it I wanted to make sure I took the right initial step to ensure maximum battery life. I assume I'll find it with a partial charge when I place it in my DX. Should I fully deplete it before fully charging it? Or should I immediately charge it from partial to full before using it? Or does it not matter?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to configure the Android OS to run only a single app?
Basically what I want to do is customize an Android device so that it boots up and runs one application only, and for that application to be switched to the front of the screen automatically. Also, when it gets closed, to be started up and switched to again. Any ideas?
I have written an application and added 2 contacts on emulator, but i
am not able to update their names on android 2.1, code is working on
android 1.6 platform with the following code.
ContentValues contactValues = new ContentValues();
contactValues.put(Contacts.People.NAME, firstName+" "+lastName);
getContentResolver().update(UpdateContactUri, contactValues, null,
null);
In android 1.6 i am getting Uri for those two contacts are "content://
contacts/people/1" and "content://contacts/people/2".
but in 2.1 I am getting these values are "content://contacts/people/8"
and "content://contacts/people/9" and while updating its giving
"java.IllegalArgumentException, Empty values" exception.
When i tried to put a static Uri like "content://contacts/people/1",
code was debugged sucessfully but contact was not updated.
How can i resolve it, why i am not getting uri like 1.6 platform ?
What is the best (most proper) location to install the Android SDK on Mac?
I've seen in some posts that somewhere in the Home directory is advantageous. Some seem to have placed the SDK in the Applications directory.
I am creating an app that uses GPS coordinates. Can anyone help me with the following?
1) I want to ensure I am using a current 'fixed' location and not a previously stored one, so I am trying to avoid using getLastKnownLocation, but cannot seem to figure out the alternate to this?
2) What is the best way to display a "please wait" message or something along those lines while the GPS service is attempting to get a fix (and ideally periodically allow the user to cancel out)?
Can I program for Android using Python? I seem to have stumbled upon many links while searching... however neither of them is concrete.Any suggestions?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an application that uses OpenGL on a GLSurfaceView. The problem is that the initial load takes quite a while processing textures and getting things ready.
What i want to do is have a simple PNG displayed (with a slight animation) while the GLSurfaceView is getting ready. As soon as it's ready to render, i would like to tear down the splash screen.
What is the right way to do this? I've tried ViewFlipper, ViewSwitcher and a bunch of other things to switch between my R.layout.main view and my GLSurfaceView but i can't seem to get it right.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can I achieve the following layout in Android?
What I would like, is to have the 3 blue boxes top aligned in their view, and then I'd like to have the red box centered underneath the blue boxes, but so that when I animate the red box up, it slides underneath the blue box.
I have tried placing the blue and red boxes in different layouts, but as soon as I animate the red box up, if it goes outside the border of its layout, it disappears (I don't want the red box's layout to clip the red box, I want the red box to slide under the blue box so that the blue box occludes the red box.)
I have also managed to create this layout using a series of nested layouts, but because of the draw order, the red box always appears on top of the blue box. I attempted to use the bringToFront() method, but I found out that this only works on sibling views within the same layout. Unfortunately I can't get this type of layout while keeping all 4 views within the same layout. Any suggestions? (also, if anyone has better suggestions for the title of this question I'm all ears)
I've had my Droid since they came out last year. Somehow I was able to configure notification lights for Gmail and Handcent, but I don't remember how. I had to wipe my phone and start over and now I can't figure out how I did that. I have Touchdown Pro for Exchange and that allows me to customize the LED for that app, but I can't find the settings for Gmail or Handcent. I know they used to be there, but I can't remember what I did to make them appear. I must have installed a third-party app, but I have no idea what it was. Any idea how I did it? I'd really like to get those notification LEDs back!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a service that will monitor location changes daily. What I know so far that to start a service at boot, I have to follow the linked tutorial. This way I can get the service started at boot, but to save battery I need it only between 9am-9pm.
Question is pretty simple, so I will repeat:
How can I ensure a service is started at 9am and stopped 9pm every day?
Got my ROM flashed for the first time courtesy of DroidReview on YouTube and more than a few of you on here. But in the vid there was never a mention of wiping the cache and/or partition while in nandroid. I seem to recall that somewhere else on here. Can someone tell me if you're supposed to wipe the cache/partition from nandroid before flashing a new ROM? If so, why (or why not)?
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy application opens in Activity A1. None of the views in A1 are focused at startup, until I use the arrow keys to navigate through the views. A button press in A1 launches activity A2. When A2 opens, the first Button in A2 is focused by default. I do not want this happen. What I want is when A2 opens, none of the buttons are focused until arrow keys are used to naviagte through them(just like it is in A1).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI open an Activity which has a number of elements... some TextViews, some Buttons, and an EditText. For some reason, when the activity starts, the EditText is focused by default, which causes the keypad to appear hiding the screen. I only want this EditText to be in focus if the user clicks into it. How can I ensure that this View isn't in focus when the activity starts? I've tried calling requestFocus() on one of the buttons, but it hasn't changed anything. Ideally, I don't want anything in focus at all.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs anyone having a problem with their Droid X not showing the right location, such as in Beautiful Widgets? It recently started a few weeks ago. If I try to use the Navigation, when it looks for the GPS satellite, it shows me at the wrong location, but then it refreshes and puts me in the right location. Is there some type of setting that may need to be changed? It's very annoying seeing the weather location being in the wrong city.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi have a problem with double values i need to store in an android homed sqlite database. since these double values represent gps values (lat & lng), i really NEED an absolute precision down to the 9th number after the comma.when reading lng from this table into some (java) double variable, i get a value like "0.999956837" - this renders the values pretty useless to me.is there a way to enforce the precision i need other than storing the values as "text" fields (what would make expensive casts neccessary) or storing them as integers (meaning i need to multiply/divide at each write/read-op)?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi am using android.opengl.GLSurfaceView in my game, which is working well expect under one condition: Starting the game a second time after leaving it by pushing the home button, causes the game to flicker, because the rendering thread from the previous instance is still running and firing OpenGL commands. Now the question is, how can i ensure that only one instance of GLSurfaceView/GLSurfaceView.Renderer gets created?
To solve/workaround the problem i've tried to set the following properties in the manifest file to to ensure the activity gets shut down if it gets inactive.
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:multiprocess="false"
android:noHistory="true">
But without success, the activity/rendering thread still keeps running. Do you know of any certain way to exit the rendering thread/free GLSurfaceView?
Droid X newbie but not new to Android. I've had a Droid for a year (almost) and my work phone just got upgraded form a bb to an X. I'm having trouble with the stock email program being able to send email fro my personal account. I use pair networks for my email hosting. I am able to set up the account to work fine on K9 mail, but not the stock email program. My corporate exchange email doesn't like K9 mail for some reason, so I don't want to use that for personal email if I have to. I notice on K9 mail, there's an option to check to not login for outgoing mail, but on the stock email program, it always asks for user name and pw in the outgoing settings. I have tried leaving them blank, but to no avail.
