I recently formatted my computer and updated to Windows 7. I backed up my keystore and tried to sign my apk with it but it gave me an error that said my certificate expires in 22yrs. which is just shy of what the market requires to upload the apk. So now I am stuck not being able to update my app... Is there a way to extend the lifetime of certificates so that I can update my app?

Currently my application allows the user to set the application to run in full screen. I than check in every activity at onCreate() if the user has set to make the app run in full screen. Is there a better way to do this? I have many other settings that I do and I find this method a little bad in terms of code design. Is there a way to set full screen for the lifetime of app or until I set it back to not full screen? One way to do it would be to have a custom Activity class that does these checks and all my activities can just implement it? would that be slow is it recommended?

Im getting a weird behavior when using the following code to send a new intent to the current sub-activity, then change tab, and getting back to original tab. (TAB1 -> TAB2 -> TAB1)
CODE:.......
What i see from debug..
onSaveInstanceState() is called on TAB1, then TAB2 is current subActivity, but when going back to TAB1 onCreate() is called.
onCreate() is not called with the same test without using the onNewIntent() described above.
What is the lifetime of a ContentProvider in Android? After onCreate() is invoked, will the ContentProvider persist unconditionally for the lifetime of the process?
My ContentProvider manages a list of records, but only 1 is designated "active" and will be accessed by different applications a lot. I was wondering if it's safe to cache the index of this active record in memory as a member of my ContentProvider to speed up lookup.
I have next problem, I have got parent activity and few sub- activities, if app goes to the background by pressed HOME button for long time, all children will be killed, and my app restart from parent activity.
For example: A1 - parent, A2,A3,A4 - sub-activities. A1-->A2-- >A3(top), from A3 I go to the background (HOME). wait 30-40 min and
I'm looking for a way to get the certificates from a package that are used to sign it. Using the PackageInfo class it is possible to get the signatures. But what can I do with signatures if I don't get the public keys to verify these.
The next question I have where does the PackageInstaller verify the signed APK file? The PackageParser class loads the APK file into a JarFile object but does this automatically verify the signature?
Is there an exception in the lifetime rules for a parent activity that's in the background after invoking startActivityForResult()? From my understanding, in low memory scenarios, the background activities are killed before the foreground. Does this rule still apply even if the background activity started the foreground one for the purpose of obtaining some result?
In this case, I think it would make sense for the foreground child activity to get killed first or to equalize the lifetime of the parent and child.
I'm using the Email application. I get a "non-trusted certificate" error when setting up mail for IMAP. This is expected because I generally self-sign my certs. Though, what is not expected is that there seems to be no mechanism to accept non-trusted server certificates. No self-sign certs? That's a deal breaker. There has got to be a work-a-round.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFrom the signing documentation at http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-TW/guide/publishing/app-signing.html:
When the system is installing an update to an application, if any of the certificates in the new version match any of the certificates in the old version, then the system allows the update.
This indicates that an application can be signed with multiple certificates.
This is an interesting option to allow multiple entities to sign an application. e.g: A system application which was initially signed by the device's manufacturer. Further updates could be signed by the developer.
Am I misreading the documentation or is this really possible? If so, how?
Is there any other way for an application to support different certificates and with that, having two or more entities sign it?
I am using httpclient for my android app and I have a local site which has a few https pages. Since default httpclient doesnot allow self-signed certificates I am using "EasySSLFactory" and "EasyX509TrustManager", which are mentioned in httpclient documentation.
CODE:.......
The problem is if I use this SSLFactory in my android app, I am getting correct response from my site's https pages, but I get "SSL handshake failure: I/O error during system call, Unknown error: 0" for sites such as "gmail.com", "ymail.com". If I don't use. "EasySSLSocketFactory" I get response from these sites but get exception for my site.
This page fetch code works fine as a standalone java application.
I'm not sure if the screen on the Droid is OLED or regular LCD. I know that leaving an LCD on for hours at a time can possibly shorten the life of the backlight... Anyone know what the case is here?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android app that requires both client and server certificate authentication. I have an SSLClient class that I created that works beautifully on regular desktop Java SE 6. I've moved it into my Android project and I'm getting the following error: "KeyStore JKS implementation not found".I've looked online a bit and it looks like there's a possibility that Java Keystores are not supported on Android (awesome!) but I have a feeling there's more to it than that because none of the sample code I've found resembles what I'm trying to do at all. Everything I found talks about using an http client rather than raw SSL sockets. I need SSL sockets for this application.

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy work has free Wifi available for patients and whoever but you must first sign in on a main page it redirects to if your not already. Here to sign in you must accept a security certificate to be able to do this. It worked on my Droid the first day I did this and now I cannot get it to work, says it cannot redirect with no connection. Now this has happened before with my laptop and I just remove the certificate and it gets a new one and off I go. My question is where can I find these so I can delete it on the droid?

Trying to get HTTPS working with the HttpClient. I can't seem to find an example anywhere that works for me.

I am attempting to connect to a local HTTPS server using the apache DefaultHttpClient on a Android device.
CODE:.......
I am getting an error of "javax.net.ssl SSLException: Not trusted server certificate" when the .execute runs. I want to simply allow any certificate to work, regardless of if it is or is not in the android key chain.
I have spent about 40 hours researching and trying to figure out a workaround for this issue. I have seen many examples of how to do this but none so far have worked in Android; they seem to only work for JAVA. Does anyone know how to configure, or override the certificate validation used by the Apache HttpClient in Android so that it will just approve all certificates for a DefaultHttpClient connection?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running into difficulties overriding an ArrayAdapter to be displayed in a ListActivity. The ArrayAdapter is filled asynchronously. What I'm trying to do is add a special "sentinel" object that sits at the beginning of the list to show the progress of the computation. Ultimately this may be a progress bar, but right now I am just using a TextView as a placeholder. The problem is that the sentinel seems to get inserted multiple times into the list - not just once at the beginning. It *seems* to be appearing once per "page" of list data (so if 8 list items fit on the screen, my sentinel appears as the 1st, then 9th, then the 17th, etc..), but that interpretation may not be accurate. While maybe not how ArrayAdapters were intended to be extended, I thought something like this should work by simply overriding getView() to show my custom TextView for index.

Dianne talks about the ringtone picker, did she just extend the core ringtone picker and work in the SDK?
I DO have the entire platform source code, and have made some changes to core apps there, but rebuilding takes awhile (even useing mmm, and snod), so I was hoping to speed up development by working in the SDK (where building and running the emulator seems to go faster). Not sure if this is realistic or not.
This is all just for some internal experimentation, I am not looking to contribute the the core apps.
In another post, someone had referred to ".... classes available in the SDK....". How can we see what classes we have access to, in the SDK.
I mean, is there any way to add more functionality add/remove events synchronize with other then Google calendars/formats (authorized).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have set negative paddings on my custom seekbar so that the round thumb image can go outside the bar, but the thumb isn't rendered out there, is there anyway to force the thumb to be drawn outside those bounds Sorry guys, I'm new to Android development, and have been tasked with fixing an existing application. The problem is that we have a custom rounded looking track bar, which consists of two rounded 'end cap' images and a 1 px background that is tiled to create the seekbar. As far as I can tell there was never one image that could be set as the background of a normal SeekBar, which is why a custom one was created. The thumb is a circle and needs to 'fit' into the end caps - the three pieces of the bar are in a relative layout. Right now I'm kind of unclear as to how the 1 px background png gets stretched as the seekbar bg, otherwise I would try to tack on the two endcaps onto that drawable some how?
