Whilst browsing in here and on the web for ways to save battery life, I came across an app for turning on and off WiFi, backlight, bluetooth etc. It had a totally different layout to Quick Settings. The screen appeared to have about 12 square buttons, for quick on/off functionality of the usual stuff. WiFi, bluetooth etc. One of the buttons near the bottom right corner was 2G/3G. Does anyone know which app this may be, from my super description? I like the simple one screen does all layout, which was easy to understand. Can't remember if it was from a link in here, or from another site.

I know you can kinda mimic it's functionality a little bit by simply using the built in calendar, but the idea of an integrated timetable, previous grades, grade calculator, assignment deadlines (a to do list essentially) and all the other stuff it's got look really nice. The nice thing about it is that it's all in one application I think. I've had a look around but so far haven't found anything... any ideas?
I have the default HTC Hero photo gallery and was wondering if there are any apps that have been made that are a bit more fancy than the standard Hero gallery.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI hate how slow the Gallery3D system app is. It's been slow on both my Motorola Droid & HTC Incredible running various ROMS, including stock. It's ridiculous, actually. The HTC Gallery is great by the way it organized photos and is easier to use, but isn't an option for an AOSP ROM [afaik]. Does anyone have a recommendation as to what my other options could be? Thanks, and please don't flame.

Actuaaly i want to a menu option to the native mail application in Android.. so that my activity / app can be launced on clicking that option.

Is there some way to have Eclipse NOT present the Android Device Chooser dialog every time I run the Android application I'm developing? I'm using a running Android device, not an AVD. There's got to be some place I can set my default device to be the Android device so that I don't have to double-click on the device entry in the ADC dialog everytime.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy app has a styles.xml file with various visual constants defined.
I'd like my users to be able to switch the entire app to an alternative visual theme. I'd like to provide an alternative styles2.xml file and switch at runtime (via the Settings).
Is this possible, and how? I suspect the style names' appearance in the generated R class does not bode well.
If it's not possible, what's my next best option?
What is the best way to share a file between two "writer" services in the same application. I have a Service that saves entries into a buffer. When the buffer gets full it writes all the entries to the file (and so on). Another Service running will come at some point and read the file (essentially copy/compress it) and then empty it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an application that consist of several Activities. When the application starts, some alarms are scheduled using AlarmManager and some services are started:
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
a.setInexactRepeating(...)....
I would like to know any way to guarantee every service is stopped and every alarm is unscheduled when the user exits the application. The problem is that the user can leave the application from different Activities, and I don't like the idea of overriding the onDestroy method in every Activity. Is there any known Intent I can receive when the application ends? I've also found that an Android application can have a class that extends from Application, with a onTerminate method:
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override public void onTerminate() {
... } }
But the documentation is very clear: "never depend on this method being called; in many cases an unneeded application process will simply be killed by the kernel without executing any application code".

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to stop all started services when the user hits the Home Button? I use:
startService(new Intent(ClassName.this, ClassName2.class));
stopService(new Intent(ClassName.this, ClassName2.class));
This means I will have to somehow add the 'stopService()' for 7+ of my app classes
I've researched this topic and I think there's 'onTerminate' but still not sure how this should be implemented.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't understand this. If I go to menu - applications, I have manage apps and running services. My running services only shows essential apps running. When I go into manage apps and click on the running tab, it shows a ton of non essential apps running that I have used. My confusion, and question is, which menu is correct? For example, facebook does not show under running services but it shows under the running tab in the manage apps menu. I force close it and it comes back on. Which one is correct?

I have the famous problem with the shared user id. Whenever I try to install it, it says "Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID".

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just picked up the Motorola Droid, and I'm loving it.I'm trying to find the best free alternative to SMS (because it's ridiculous that after paying $30/mo for 3G access, I have to pay more to move 100-character messages around on the same network...).Ideal would be something like BlackBerry Messenger.So far, I've been using gTalk with my status set to invisible, and that seems to be a pretty good alternative. When I initiate a gTalk conversation with an invisible status, the conversation usually remains short - like an SMS conversation. One downside is that people never initiate conversations on gTalk with me while I'm set to invisible.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI see posts saying that FrameLayout is the alternative, and that I should use margins to position things (this strikes me as wildly counter intuitive, but ok... if it works, I'll take it). However, I can't get it to work, so, I'm looking for assistance. I'm aware of the fact that this may mean different things on different devices. I'm ok with that. I simply need a way to, programatically, and at run time, place an item at a SPECIFIC location. I don't want to rely on gravity (or the laws of thermodynamics). I just want to specify a location and have the element appear there :)
