View 2 RepliesMy widget launches a configuration screen when chosen to be put on screen. That works fine.
I wanted to be able to touch a part of the widget to return to that configuration screen.
I have created 2 pending intents in my widget's service but only one works. The code is below...
For the life of me i cannot understand how i can launch again the configuration activity.
I have an Emgeton 7 inch tablet for which I'm trying out some different ICS ROMs on. The best ROM I have found so far has one issue: The screen orientation is 90 degrees out. The accelerometer actually works but it is set to 90 degrees "ahead"
How and where is the default settings for the accelerometer set and is it possible to change it without a re-compile? Would I be able to use anything from the stock ICS firmware to fix it?
Inverting any axis of input or similar is possible for touch screens on tablet pc? (currently needed for gingerbread 2.3.1)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've downloaded Launcher Pro, I currently still have ADW installed as well. When I use LauncherPro my home screen (and other screens) are not set up the way I currently have them. I spent a lot of time setting my current screens so they are exactly the way I want them. Any way to save that config when switching to LauncherPro? It does seem faster so I want to give it a shot, but I'm dreadig setting everything up again- widgets, apps, etc.
Anyone ever had this happen? Downloaded an update after the 2.1 upgrade and I sync'd my contacts with FB. It then deleted all of my contacts.So I deleted Facebook, re-stored all my contacts and reloaded Facebook. However, now it gets as far as installing and it never stops. It just stays on Installing.However, the FB app works fine on the phone itself.Is this a Market glitch? Is there anyway I can purge it from out of my downloads section?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got an Android phone on Sunday and I'm still learning what I'm doing. I found a thread on here for the Android Network Awards, and all of the apps have a 2-D barcode next to them. Clicking on it invokes a "market" protocol. I'm guessing that there may be some way for me to scan this barcode from my phone and install the app. Is that right? Presumably, I could also browse to the page from my phone and click on the "market://..." links, but scanning a barcode to install an app is just cool.

Now I rebooted and I have the screen with the android on a skateboard and it says cyanogen(mod). It keeps popping up like its loading and I've read it can take sometime but I feel like it has gone on for 15 minutes. All I'm wondering is if I'm on the right track.

Then it goes away and reboots the system again. Its also the same when I try to access recovery mode via ROM manager. I read somewhere it's the signature for the ROM is missing and to change the settings manually but I can't get to recovery screen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed ADW.Launcher today on my Galaxy S, and have ended up with a black screen. I'd like to fix it without a factory reset, if possible.Galaxy S, Android 2.1, bought in Singapore, SingTel settings but bought it unlocked. Currently in Indonesia. (Can't look up Baseband Version, Kernel Version and Build Number on the phone now for obvious reasons.)A short while after installing ADW.Launcher, the Home button became unresponsive, and a minute or two later the phone restarted itself (the way it's done by itself a handful of times since I bought the phone - without going through the whole power down and power up sequences of sounds and graphics). Then I only had a black screen with date and time at the bottom, and the menu and back buttons lit up, and now I can't get the display back. It seems to start normally, with the logos and sounds, but just returns to that black screen with date and time.
I know something's going on inside because I can swipe to unlock the screen (giving me a purely black screen). If I then press and hold Home, I get the haptic vibration that normally goes with the "recently used" menu. But if I randomly tap all over the black screen, and try to use the menu and back buttons (guessing where the menu items are) I get no response, and no haptic vibration.Holding down the power button gives me the usual power menu - I can select "Power off," but it restarts. I've removed the battery a couple of times, waited and replaced it - but no change.
At first I thought it was related to my SIM card, as it did the self-restart thing yesterday about 20 min after I got a new SIM card. But doing a google search suggests that this problem is sometimes related to launchers. And I removed the SIM card and restarted (removing battery) and it didn't help.The closest I could find to an answer to this problem was in the Droid X forum: HELP! I uninstalled launcher pro, and now have a black screen! - The solution there was to do a factory reset. I'd really rather not do that, but may not have a choice.
I wonder if VZW would void the manufacturer warranty because of this? There are some issues with radio and signal quality, home screen swiping and phantom app openings .....

Anyway, I downloaded the Chevy 5 slot 1GHz kernel and named it update.zip and when I install it says it's installing fine but when I go to reboot my phone freezes up at the Motorola screen. I have even tried changing to frequencies supported by the kernel (250, 550) but it still won't work...keeps freezing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a simple Android application that loads a page in a WebView, then most of the real work is done by the server-side scripts. Everything is working great, except that I currently have the page URL hard-coded in the Android application, sort of like this:
mWebView.loadUrl("https://www.my-application-url.com");
This was fine until this morning when I was asked to to make it so that the user is prompted to enter the URL the first time the application run, and the URL that is entered by the user is then saved and used automatically by the application from that point onward. I was also asked to make it so that the user can change the URL if they choose to do so. The reason I was asked to do this is so that users can install the server side of the application on their own servers and my Android application will be able to connect without me having to write a custom version for each user, with their URL hard-coded into the application.
I am unsure what is the best way to handle this in Android. It seems that I probably need to add some type of configuration interface to the application that is shown by default on the first run, then only when the Menu button is pressed on the following runs. From this configuration interface I guess I would then get the URL from the user and serialize it for future use. What is the best way to accomplish this?
I've only owned an Android for 6 days (Samsung Galaxy S i9000) and one of the first things I installed was Juice Defender, having used iPod Touch extensively, I know how heavy on battery things like WiFi can be. Anyway, JD makes the phone really really leggy. It can take a minute sometimes (literally, 45-65 seconds) for the JD screen to come up when launched. Similarly when waking from sleep it takes ages for the data connections to become active again. Have I misconfigured JD? Is it really this slow and creates this much lag? Does it just not like the (fairly new) i9000? I've just uninstalled it there right now (left Ultimate Juice on) and the phone is much snappier. It's like using it for the first time. Which, considering JD was installed in the first half hour of my owning the phone, it kind of is. What I really wanted was the WiFi on/off according to cell tower location data so I can have it go on and off when I leave the house. Guess it's no real biggie. Having limited background data (e.g. the 2 mins per 15) is handy too. Are there any other apps which have JD functions - even if more limited in scope - that I can try?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a widget with a configuration activity which calls the following method when its OK button is clicked:
CODE:..............
This is almost verbatim from the documentation. widget_id holds the widget ID that was dug up during the activity's onCreate().
When I place an instance of the widget on the home screen, I've verified that I get the expected sequence of events:
onReceive() gets an ACTION_APPWIDGET_ENABLED if it's the first one.
onUpdate() gets called (in which I detect that the widget isn't configured and draw something as a default action).
The configuration activity appears.
When I press OK, the ok() method above gets called.
The method gets all the way through to the finish() and the configuration activity goes away, but there's no call to onUpdate() or onReceive() after this point. (The widget itself has no updatePeriodMillis.) I end up with a widget on the screen that has the results of my default action but never gets updated.
If I set the widget up without a configuration activity, it gets updated when created and everything works as expected (just without the configured bits).
I am still learning bu find Android the cool platform for allot of useful applications. I have written a Service for doing GPS tracking and it consists of a Service and a Control activity to manage, monitor and configure the service. I am looking for the preferred way for the Control Activity to define settings for the Service, things like IP address and Update interval. I envision something like a Registry on windows where these settings can be shares and updated.
