General :: Dashclock Small Sized Extensions On Lockscreen With PIN Enable?
Jul 25, 2013My phone is running stock 4.2.1 and I am using the latest version of Dashclock from Google Play.
When I log into my phone using my PIN, the next time the Dashclock lock screen shows the widgets as small tiles beside the time, whereas I want them as big tiles.
The first screen is what it keeps defaulting to, even if I set it to the middle screen in the image below
To make them big, I drag down to expand the area, however, once I put in the PIN, the next time they are all small again.
General :: Widget / Shortcut To Enable / Disable Pattern Lockscreen?
Nov 12, 2012Right now I'm using the Pattern Lock for my Note 2. Using Elixer2's single widget set to enable/disable the pattern lockscreen, it seems to randomly work. I've made sure to allow admin rights to Elixer2.
I'd like to be able to lock the screen when at work, and not have it enabled when at home.
The Elixer widget is very random. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes it'll work after a delay, after I try to open some apps, etc.
Android :: Take Picture Without Preview
Jan 27, 2010I would like to build an app that does not require to show preview, I only need bitmap data to analyse. For instance when I move my phone around it will take picture in background and only display user the taken picture properties (brightness, RGB ratio in the image etc). I have searched through google but all the example uses surface view that does require display preview on screen, But dont want to display image at all.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Cam Picture Bigger Then Preview
Jul 16, 2010I am hoping that there is something predictable i'm doing wrong, but i seem to have more "info" on picture then on the preview.I have an app basically based on the CameraPreview code. (1.5!) When I take a picture, the resulting image has more content then i saw on the preview. To clarify: Say i'm looking at something with lines, and while looking at the preview i see line 4 to 10. After taking the picture it suddenly is clear i've shot lines 5 to 11. I'm trying to sync something I draw ontop of the view (a line-drawing) with what i'm photographing, and I can't get it to match like this. The newest example has some extra code involving "getSupportedPreviewSizes". I can't use this because of the API version: I'm coding for min. 3, and that one is from 5.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Preview All Drawable Images?
Dec 15, 2009Android framework has variety of icons and images - accessible as R.drawable.* - that can be used by applications for common tasks. Their names give some hint about what they are, but in many cases that's not sufficient. One has to use trial-n-error to find the right icon that fits one's purpose.
My question: Is there a way where I can preview all these images in one place, so that I can quickly decide which ones to use? I have looked inside android source code, but couldn't locate the root of these drawables.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Put Graphics On Top Of My Camera Preview
Sep 10, 2010I see a couple of threads on this topic, but none of them seem to answer the question, so, I'm giving it another go...
Very simple idea... I want to some portion of the screen to preview (and shoot) the camera and the other portions of the screen to add my own graphical elements (buttons, colorful frame around the camera preview, etc).
The example that comes with Android fills the screen. The obvious solution (that doesn't seem to be working) is to use my own SurfaceView (rather than the one they do in the example) and have it sitting in my XML. The code (beneath) doesn't crash and reports that it's firing up the camera... it just never renders on the screen.
I have no idea what I'm doing incorrectly. My guess is that it has something to do with the display thread never having the urge to redraw anything after it renders the initial screen, but I even tried adding a button and initiating the camera to render on the surface view upon button click, but that has not provoked it any further.
(most of this code is pulled directly out of the Android sample code, so, I'm sure it's correct. I'm just doing something wrong in how I pull my View in after the fact, I think).

View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: UI Window In Camera Preview Application
Nov 27, 2009Let's say in my example I am working with SurfaceView for my CameraSurfaceView. I have a few questions, hope you can help me.
1. When this SurfaceView gets created (I assume via final CameraSurfaceView cameraView = new CameraSurfaceView (getApplicationContext()), this will result in a call createSurface() in SurfaceFlinger with format, width and height. Am I correct?
Is this SurfaceView also my UI window if I want to draw anything? I thought if I call setType(PUSH_BUFFER) on this surface, I won't be able to do any drawing on this surface.
2. How does the application pass these information like format, width and height to SurfaceFlinger for the allocation? Is it by using .setFormat, .setFixedSize?
3. How do they methods .setFormat, .setFixedSize related to the surfaceHolder.surfaceChanged() callback?
Android :: Camera Application Preview Crashes
Nov 24, 2010So I started with this little write-up. I wanted to try to make an application that will take pictures while running in the background. To start though I wanted an application that once opened would simply take a picture every X seconds. After recreating the classes and methods show in the walk through below I ran into a few problems.
http://itp.nyu.edu/~sve204/mobilemedia_spring10/androidCamera101.pdf
For starters its seems that the onCreate function sets up all the objects for the application, but if you try to take a picture through any other method than onClick (IE directly calling it) the application actually hasn't setup the canvas or the preview yet.
My first question:
Is there any conditional method that you can setup that will wait till all the "onCreate" objects are created and their associated methods are called and finished? How do I wait for the application to finish putting together my surface and starting the cameras preview before automatically starting to take pictures?
My second question:
I am required to have a preview available to take pictures. Is there anyway to push this application to the back (IE running in the background) while still taking pictures? Is drawing to a canvas a requirement? (From what I can tell AFAIK, you are required to have a surfaceholder to start preview, when you put up another screen or application that pauses the current application and closes the surface/canvas you were presenting that preview on). If my understanding is correct on all of this the best I will be able to do is make a 1x1 pixel canvas that will still take up the screen due to the application being in the foreground.
My Third question:
Is there any way around this? Can you still utilize the camera in some fashion without requiring the preview be drawn?
