Android :: Application For Tasks - Reference System

Oct 18, 2010

Greetings. Years after reading the GTD book and trying all sorts of apps and methods, I still can't find myself settling for a todo system that's simple and effective using my phone. I'm always looking for threads and articles on task managers, but most are only people spouting "I use generic todo app xyz and it rules!" Never how they practically use it in their daily lives. So, I'm asking all of you: what apps do you use for tasks and maybe even reference systems, and HOW. This might be useful for all procrastrinating couchpotatoes like me. Right now I'm using something very simple: Mobisle Notes, with 2 lists: a sorted "Inbox" which is basically just all tasks that come to mind (Sorted as in, priority first, then due date, then projects, then random stuff) And a today list with 5 actions I want to do today. Far from perfect, and Mobisle doesn't handle tags and moving of tasks from list to list a hassle, which keeps me on the lookout.

Android :: Can Hook Methods Called By System / Ever Be Passed In Null Argument Reference?

Sep 1, 2010

While doing normal day-to-day Android development, is it safe to assume that hook methods called by the system will not pass in invalid references (ex.: null), or should I always be double-checking what arguments get passed in?For example, can the method onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem) ever have a null MenuItem reference passed into it?The reason I ask is because I was working on the Notepad 1 tutorial,I started wondering if I should be testing if item is null before making a getItemId() method call on it, or just trust the system to not ever pass me a null?I don't want to make my code slower by doing null checks when I shouldn't be worried about that happening, etc.

Android :: Stack Trace Does Not Reference Application

Dec 16, 2009

So I have an app on the market with >10k active users. I have recieved maybe 50 complaints from Droid-user that the program crashes arbitrarily. I have not been able to replicate the error with my own droid, but I got one of the to send me this crash log. However, it does not reference the application. Do you have any suggestions on how to track down this error? I stand baffled.

Android :: Repackaging System Classes In An Application

Jun 16, 2010

I came across this today and was wondering does this work in production app or does it merely work because my phone allows non market apks.

Here is an example, Take a class like, android.view.IWindow, and copy it's source into your project and recompile it after changing a few things. (Don't rename or repackage it).

Now when your APK loads in the VM, something odd happens.

CODE:...

So the logging is a little ambiguous, but is it saying that the classes in this APK are blocking out previous versions and that these new classes aren't being verified. If so I hope this is only succeeding because as developers most targets are in development mode when allowing non market apks (non rooted phones). However does this work in market released apps as well? This seems like a really nasty security exploit if I can override system interfaces just for my application.

General :: Use System PIN Dialog In Android Application

Apr 11, 2012

I am trying to write an application which works like described below.When user start application it check if user have registered PIN on his device.If user have registered PIN, application must show button "Continue with PIN".When user press on button "Continue with PIN" system standard PIN dialog must appears.User enter his PIN and press "Continue" button.After System must check if entered PIN is correct or no and continue working.

I have made some researches and find some articles on stackoverflow and other internet sources which say "There is no way to develop a new custom unlock mechanism on a non-rooted phone." or "I would be surprised if you could, because then you would be probably able to steal the pin code, and I don't think anyone would want that.".

Also I have watched some video tutorials like Tutorial: Android Internals - Building a Custom ROM, Pt. 1 of 2 and Tutorial: Android Internals - Building a Custom ROM, Pt. 2 of 2.

Decision:So I think that the only way to get access to the Android system PIN dialog is to root the phone make some changes in the system files and use system PIN dialod

getting access to the system PIN dialog in the rooted phone.

Android :: Slow Gallery 3d System Application Alternative

Oct 12, 2010

I 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.

Android :: Need System - Wide Touch Event Application

Sep 5, 2010

I'd like to receive a TouchEvent in my Android application any time the screen is touched. Even if my application is not in focus.Is there an general even listener or intent filter I can write to achieve this? The goal is to write system wide gesture engine. So for example, if the user swiped up and then down, a certain application would be launched regardless of where the user is.

Android :: Application Compatible With System Assigned Permissions Automatically

Apr 7, 2010

I've noticed a troubling issue with app permissions. It seems that after installing, some apps that didn't ask for these two permissions:
Storage: modify/delete SD card contents
Phone calls: read phone state and identity
will magically acquire them after install! These apps do not ask for these permissions during install, nor do their Market pages disclose that they need them. After looking through many logcat messages during an install, I found this:
04-07 03:23:08.973,I,PackageParser,1016,com.some.app.nam e.here: compat added android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

Digging around, I found this online:
Android permissions: Phone Calls: read phone state and identity - Stack Overflow. It seems that an app that is compatible with systems earlier than 1.6 will automatically be assigned those two permissions. If a developer is willing to make their app compatible only with 1.6+ systems, they can change their app's manifest:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="4" />
and when users on 1.6+ devices install the app, those two extra permissions won't show up.

I bet a lot of app developers don't know this, and therefore their apps will seems to acquire those two permissions magically. Users will install those apps, see the two extra permissions when they inspect the app security setting and be very puzzled. They'll probably think the app is malware and uninstall it. I've contacted some app developer about this issue, so that they can (hopefully) fix their app so it doesn't look like malware. Unfortunately, until all legit apps are fixed, it'll be hard to distinguish amongst apps that have those permissions, which app actually needs those permissions, which apps need fixing, and which apps are malware.

Android :: System Kills Service / No Other Resource Consuming Application Is Running

Mar 9, 2010

I just would like to ask if anyone have encountered this strange behavior with other phone models or specifically HTC Tattoo wherein I have this service running for almost 5 hrs then after sometime the system kills the service. The phone does not restart actually nor any other 3rd party applicaton running in the background. Its only the service I have is running. I was wondering what were the causes that would force to close my service. Another strange thing is that before the service was closed I still can see all the logs in the logcat but after I saw that the service was closed I don't see any log information already seems like the phone was totally disconnected from my eclipse.

Android :: Application Developers - Allowed To Access System Properties Like Ro.config.sync?

Apr 20, 2009

Google applications do it, and apparently it used to be part of the public API (via android.os.SystemProperties.) How are we supposed to enable/disable sync on the phone? Disabling/enabling roaming is easy, but I'm beating my head against the wall trying to find a non-hack method for disabling auto-sync (much less the granularity that would actually be nice.) Is this intentional by the framework team? Is it a whoopsie that is planned to be changed later?

Motorola Droid :: Installing Pandora As System Application?

I use navigation on my motorcycle and I used to be able to use Pandora at the same time, but lately just keeps stalling. Some seem to think in 2.1 Android's memory management is somehow messing with services that Pandora needs to run. Would installing it as a system app help in any way? I am running Cyanogen 5.0.5.7 if it matters at all.

Motorola Droid :: Installing Settings As System Application Enable GPS Toggle?

Mar 5, 2010

I'm a big fan of Toggle Settings but my one wish would be that it could toggle GPS. From what I understand, the security of Android doesn't allow any app to turn GPS on/off. My question is, since installing Mobile Defense as a system application allows it to turn my GPS on, would installing Toggle Settings as a system app enable the same feature? Does anybody know of a way around this or another app that is similar and can toggle GPS settings?
