I can get the installed application's version using PackageManager , but how to find out the version of the application on the android market programatically ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can I check for GPS support in-App to add a feature for those with Location services enabled?My concern is, I know I'd have to specify the tag in the manifest to declare that the app uses location services, but I still want the app to function for those without. I just want to check and, if the service is available, use it; otherwise just ignore that one feature.

All i found about GPS is that it just tells the location of the device, how do one get the direction where camera is pointing with GPS enabled phone?
For example, I need to see the camera api and work out which direction the camera is pointing. So that I can see the direction I'm viewing. In the other word, it is work like a compass.
I installed the driver and device manager see my phone but when I /adb devices/ it doesn't see my phone. Debugging on and mass storage enabled with card not mounted. Win7.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHaving an issue where anytime I try to add a new contact manually for a new phone number or create it using the "create new contact" feature via an old text message by that phone number's owner, my phone automatically deletes it within seconds. This happens only when the sync settings under settings-->accounts & sync-->background information are enabled. The new contact gets deleted regardless whether I add the new contact BEFORE enabling sync or whether I add it WHILE sync is enabled.
Phone's flashed on Gingerbread.
Has anyone else noticed this? It's slightly annoying. I downloaded my version of 1.5 from

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to install a USB charging port in my car similar to this. Before I disassemble the cig lighter adapter I have and put it inside the console, I want to make sure that it's one that can provide a full charge, not just a trickle. I'd read that the trick is to get one rated at 1000mA which I did, but I've also read that some charger with that rating still can't provide more than a trickle charge. Short of plugging in my phone to that charger and using it for a while to see how quickly it charges, is there any way to see if the phone is getting a trickle or full charge?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a listview that has check box beside each item. (i am following a code from the book android), but i can't get it to work, every time i run it, it crashes. since i am very new to this android staff, i have no clue what to do to get it to work, any help is appreciated.the code is below.
*i have created two layout files in names of list and list_item.
the code...
Menu - Settings - Location - Enable GPS satellites
It states that enabling this will "require more battery plus view of sky"
When checked, it states "deselect to conserve battery"
So, the question is, should this be enabled?
I imagine for some applications, knowing your precise location should be useful, especially if the turn-by-turn maps are installed and used.
I'm thinking to deselect this, and selecting it at times when I need it.
So, to check or not to check?
How can I check if the Android phone is in Landscape or Portrait?
