I want to edit image for Writing text on images, is it possible in Android, if so, how to achieve this.
I want to store some metadata in images. My camera application gives me a bitmap, which I store in the storage (MediaStore) device. In addition to this, I want to add a few tags to the picture in its metadata. I think EXIF is a good way of doing this. But I couldn't find good references on how to do this.If there are some tools to achieve this task in Android programming,

The Sanselan library, however, does provide a full fledged set of functionality for reading and writing Exif metadata.
However, Sanselan pur sang cannot be included in an Android Project. It references classes and packages that do not exist under the current version of Android (e.g. ImageIO).
Therefore, I made a quick cut of Sanselan 0.97, cutting out all the classes that prevent it from being used on the Android platform. It is a quick cut and it may have some issues. However, I got its exif reading and writing to work for my application and it looks like its working quite well. Reading and writing raw image-data is, however, not possible in this cut. This has been cut out.
Can we set Title for a Menu Item in Android if it has an icon from drawable? I have a icon for a Menu Item and if I set the icon then the title that is set for that Menu item is not visible. Is this possible or not?

i use the following code
protected void writefile() {
String FILENAME = "filedemo.txt";
String content = txtMessage.getText().toString();
try {
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(FILENAME,MODE_PRIVATE);
[Code]...
I understand this writes it to the internal storage in data/data but I want it to store in a folder called "Datafiles" which I can access via my PC or using a file manager.
I want to add Image to Text field, at the same time i want to write text
under that image( want to describe about the image ) in the same text field. And the image
should be provided with ZOOOM_IN and ZOOM_OUT options, for the user to view.
One thing that I noticed from this phone, nexus one, is that you, the user, can not select people from your contacts when writing a text.. you would have to first go through your contacts and then choose one specific person to text... how would you do a mass text message... I want to have the choice of selecting who I want to receive the text after I write it... has any one felt the same way?? Has some tried to solve this "problem"

On my existing very old touch scree phone this is a big issue as i can never get the cursor exactly where i want Another trackpad question - what purpose does it have when browsing, does it highlight links allowing quick navigation without using the pinch and zoom?
Final track pad question- do you use it? The battery- with moderate to heavy use will it ALWAYS last a long day 7-11 for example? Hows the froyo update, is sense still as smooth as ever?
I've had my Xperia X1 since christmas 2008, About 2 weeks ago while i was writing a text and the screen went blank so i just thought my battery had gone. when i got home i put it on charge over night and when i got up in morning i tried turning it on and nothing happened (i mean that little vibrate it dones when it switches on), so i took the battery out for 5 minutes then put it back in and tried again and it did that vibrate thing but nothing came up on screen but then someone started ringing me (still nothing on screen) and when i pressed button to answer it, it wouldn't answer and kept on ringing. I've tried updating the software from my laptop and i think it updated it but i couldn't tell because i can't see anything lol but it's still the same. i haven't dropped it or anything so i haven't got a clue why it's suddenly stopped working.....

I'm Trying to Write Logs to Custom Log.txt File on Android File using this code of Mine but then this method creates file but contains nothing. Basically I want to read previous contents of the file and then append my data with the existing content. The Code is as follows :
public static void write(String str)
InputStream fileInputStream = null;
FileOutputStream fileOutpurStream = null;
try { FileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
fileOutpurStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
if(file.exists())
{int ch = 0;
int current = 0;
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
while((ch = fileInputStream.read()) != -1)
{buffer.append((char) ch);
current++;
}byte data[]=new byte[(int)file.length()];
fileInputStream.read(data);
fileOutpurStream.write(data);
fileOutpurStream.write(str.getBytes(),0,str.getBytes().length);
fileOutpurStream.flush();
} else
{file.createNewFile();
fileOutpurStream.write(str.getBytes(),0,str.getBytes().length);
fileOutpurStream.flush();
}catch(Exception e)
{e.printStackTrace();
}finally
{try
{fileInputStream.close();
fileOutpurStream.flush();
fileOutpurStream.close();
fileOutpurStream = null;
fileInputStream = null;
}catch (IOException e)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a Samsung mega and it has been a disaster from day one. I will lead to disaster part out of it for now and will simply ask a couple questions.
1) Why do I have to turn on my data to send a picture in a message? When I attempt to attach a picture in a message while I am on Wi-Fi it will tell me that it will be sent when my data is turned on. Also, instead of just sending the photo as is, it says that the photos is being converted to multimedia. When I turned the data on and try to send a message I get nothing but a spinning circle beneath the photo.
2) It It is obvious that there are defects with the glass that is used in the Samsung mega. My glass cracked within 24 hours of owning it even though I did not drop it or bang it. I do not know if there was a change in the temperature or what. All I know is I placed the phone down on the counter at night and it was working fine with no cracks. I woke up in the morning and it looked like someone took a scalpel and made a perfect straight incision across the bottom of the screen. I can say with 100% certainty that the phone did not suffer any damage by my hands which could've caused this to happen. After doing battle with AT&T I received a new phone. This time I treated it like it was a fine piece of China. Needless to say, within 36 hours there was a perfectly straight line across the screen from the upper right corner to the left middle section. The line is so fine that it had to come from the bottom up or from the inside to the outside of the glass.
So my question is, has experienced problems with the glass that is on their phone? After getting the runaround from Samsung and AT&T, it is obvious they know this is a widespread problem.
I have a Droid HTC Inspire 4G and have always been able to text images, but I can through email. It just suddenly stopped working through texts. I get the old image can no be sent with exclamation point.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm basically using the same method of loading bitmaps in OpenGL that the SpriteMethodTest example uses and have been unable to get rid of an annoying outline that appears around all of my images.
For example, If I were to load an image of a white circle on a white background, I would expect to see nothing. Instead, I would see my circle because its edge would be gray. In SpriteMethodTest, I replaced the background image with white and was able to see that the edges of the android images flying around also don't seem to be rendered correctly.
Does anyone know how to load images in OpenGL without having a thin outline appear around the images?
I'm working to convert some background images to nine patch so they scale better on different phones.
The problem is that if I have the following resource structure: drawable-hdpi/background.png drawable-hdpi/button.png drawable-mdpi/background.png drawable-mdpi/button.png drawable-ldpi/background.png drawable-ldpi/button.png and then I drop a new drawable-hdpi/background.9.png file into the mix, it breaks button.png during the pre-compile. The error is "No resource found that matches the given name (at 'background' with value '@drawable/button').Simply removing that one nine patch file fixes the build. Should I be able to have some nine patch images and some normal ones, or to have nine patch only in hdpi but not mdpi or ldpi? This is Eclipse 3.5.1 with the latest ADT.
Just curious how many have this issue.If you are unsure select the link below and find out pls.

I am currently writing the backend for a service which has 3 clients: browser, android native and iphone native. I am having a little trouble with coming up with an authentication system since I don't know what can really be done on the clients.
I am using django + twisted for the backend.
Basically, I am going to be writing RestfulAPIs to open up for the clients on both phones to call.
Now the real question is, how should I come up with an authentication system?
I have thought about using sessionids, this works very well with the browser and I can use django's integrated app for that.
However, I don't know if it's possible for both the iphone and android to obtain a unique sessionid on the handset. Should I write an API call to distribute unique sessionids?
if that's the case, is it possible for me to still use django's authentication system since a lot of the stuff here are customized? ( I am not even using a rdbms - I am sticking with mongodb, so I was on the verge of dropping django's authentication app ftm).
I have looked at foursquare's API and their basic auth method requires you to pass in user:password in every http request header. That adds 1 additional authentication each call which can kind of seem excessive.
This is a pretty open ended question.I have a T-Mobile Touch and have some free time on my hands. So far as i understand im stuck with Android 1.5 and no sign of T-Mobile or Huawei releasing a ROM using a more up-to-date version of the Android SDK.Im asking what are the major complexities involved with making a ROM for this fone using a newer version of the Android SDK?

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start in case one wants to write a firewall for Android? I am interested especially in how would one go about in blocking access for various applications that are blacklisted from a firewall application. As far as I could find, there are no firewall applications in the real sense except Droidwall which uses iptables on rooted phones, but I would like to see if there are any API calls currently in Android that may help with this task, be it NDK or SDK.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to programmatically save an array of shorts as PCM data. I know that this should be possible, but I haven't found a very easy way to do this on Android.Essentially, I'm taking voltage data, and I want to save it in PCM format. My function looks something like this:public void audifySignal(short[] signal) {// Create a WAV file from the incoming signal}Any suggestions would be awesome, or even references. Seems like the audio APIs built in to android are more geared for directly recording from the mic, and not so much for lower level signal processing type work (at least for saving raw data to a file). I'd also like to avoid having to manually write the PCM file headers and what not.
