Has anyone found an app that replaces the crummy date chooser that is default on Android? Coming from a Palm (or even from Windows), I think Android has the _worst_ date picker I've ever used! I think I'd rather key the date

I have referred the article (at http://www.developer.com/article.php/3850276 ) for implementing the native calendar control, but i would like to display calendar also on the screen and also User can able to select date, and after selecting date user can also be able to event on that selected date.
So is there any way to display calendar (month view) in Android ?
I'm wondering if anyone has a lead on some nice code to do a Folder Chooser / Directory Picker? I know they wrote one at OpenIntents but I don't want to package the whole OI thing with my app - it'll make it bigger than I need. I just want a nice interface for picking directories (As in, a directory of images to slideshow).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how I can create a chooser for the user to select from either a video or a photo. I want them to be able to capture a new video/photo or select from existing videos/photos. With the following code, I get a chooser that allows for that, but also allows audio creation/selection.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString (R.string.mediaChooserTitle)), REQUEST_MEDIA);
If I set the type to "image/*" I can create/get a photo, and "video/* I can get/create a video. How can I combine these types?
I want my activity to appear in the list of activities (gallery. live wallpapers, etc) that you see when you try to choose a wallpaper from the home screen. Im assuming this is done with intents but cant seem to find one that works. The closest one I can find is:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SET_WALLPAPER>
but that doesn't work and seems to be used for something else.
In my application the user selects an image. When the ACTION_GET_CONTENT intent is launched it displays the dialog to select one of the available image viewers installed on the device. However I need the built in Gallery app to be chosen because upon selecting an image it launches the screen to crop the image (same thing that comes up when choosing the home screen wallpaper) which only the Gallery chooser offers.
Is it possible to skip this chooser dialog and launch the Gallery automatically? Or at least remove the other options from the list so only Gallery displays?
I'm writing an application where images are read from the filesystem based on a certain naming scheme and file structure. To add images to the application, I need to be able to add to this file structure. I need to be able to select from existing images and copy the image to its new location.
I've set up a chooser, as follows: i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT, null); i.setType("image/jpg"); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "Select photo"), PICK_FROM_FILE);
When I get the result using this line: URI uri = URI.create(outputIntent.getData().toString());
the value of uri looks like this: content://media/external/images/media/2

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just updated my Ubuntu Linux box to Jaunty (9.04). Initially, I had same problem everyone else has on Jaunty i.e. adb doesn't see the device: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. I followed the instructions and 'adb devices' lists my device just fine now, but Eclipse/ADT won't load my app or run it on the device. Every attempt at execution runs on the Emulator. I get the following message in the console: [2009-08-31 21:01:39 - KeyDirector] Automatic Target Mode: Preferred AVD 'avd15' is not available. Launching new emulator. Anyone have ideas on what might have caused this? I tried deleting and re-building the 'avd15' but it didn't help.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy application is built on 2.2, but it is backwards compatible down to 1.6. I've used reflection for the newer methods. When I try to run it on an emulator in Eclipse, it only lists my 2.2 AVDs. I need to test on 1.6 to ensure compatibility. I've tried building with Android 2.2 and with Google APIs 2.2 with no luck. (what's the difference, anyway?) I have set <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" targetSDK="8"/> in my manifest. I also tried targetSDK="4".

I have encountered a small problem with icons, i dont want to use the themes icons i want to use the default icons of the phone is this possible i have searched the menu and options but found nothing?
is there anyway to trick cm9/aokp theme chooser to think that my device is hdpi, instead of mdpi, without lcd density changer hack most HDPI themes, if not all(with the exception to lucid) work on mdpi devices yet theme chooser doesn't allow me and will give me a compiler error.
if the above does not work. is there anything i could change in the theme apk, whether its an xml, or image or anything I could change to make theme chooser think that i am using an MDPI theme, even if the theme includes hdpi images? THE "APPLY HDPI THEMES TO MDPI PAGE, LCD DENSITY CHOOSER PAGE.
I can decompile and recompile framework-res.apk and other apps successfully, but every time I decompile a theme chooser *.apk I get errors trying to recompile.
Is there a trick to this? I am running Reaper 3.0(CyanogenMod 7) installed the framework via installation options(that's all), have paths to platform-tools, tools etc.. The latest Android SDK installed (and all the others..)

View 1 Replies View RelatedAlthough I have seen several threads and tutorials on this topic, I guess I still have some confusion on how an application can be chosen from a list of applications to display a file.
I have a Activity which has a list view in it. This list view is bound with file paths (so a file browser of sorts). When we click on a specific file type, I need a list of applications that can open that file.
So far this is what I have in the OnItemClick for the list item:
CODE:............
When I run this on my phone, the error is:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android.intent.category.DEFAULT] dat=file:///
When I do the same in a file browser application (downloaded from the marketplace), I get two options (QuickOffice and Word to Go), both of which I have installed on my phone.
Could someone guide me as to what else is needed here? Things I have tried besides the above:
Add the following entries to the manifest:
CODE:................
I need to create a app in which I have to show list of word files(.doc,.docx).Clicking on that file it should open up.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using the android plugin for eclipse, and when I try to run my program using a real device through the android device chooser, my phone is not listed as a device. I have updated eclipse and all of the android packages, but it still isn't showing up. My phone is running 1.6, which is also the target version listed in the eclipse project.Also, the reason I decided to try testing on a real device is because the emulator doesn't seem to be working right anymore when I run my project. The emulator launches, but the program never does. Any ideas?(using windows 7/t-mobile mytouch 3g)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a question about the calendar app. Sorry if this has been raised before.In calendar view you can see the day and the date however if you switch to agenda it shows the date but no longer the day of the week. Is there a switch I can toggle to turn this on or an alternative calendar.Seeing the day of the week is very useful next to the date. Odd that its not included.
