Android :: ContentProvider Only Accessible By Its Application And Prefer Solution Without Code Changes
Apr 2, 2009
I have multiple applications which use the same ContentProvider code for internal WebView to access local files (application private). Because the ContentProvider has the same code base (package name, content uri), this will cause problem when deployed 2 or more of my application in the same device? How do I make the contentProvider only accessible by its application and prefer a solution without code changes.

I'm developing an Android and web application that will function as a service (use the same data). My question is how should the data be stored to allow for both the web and the android application to have access to the same set of data? Should the android application connect to the sites MySQL server to store/access data? If so how do I allow someone to access the data when they are not in a service area?

I have some questions about how the ContentProvider works behind the scenes.
1. The ContentProvider class is registered in the kernel when the application is installed and then what? Or how do the other applications exactly manage to access the application data?
2. When is actually onCreate called? The documentation is pretty vague...
3. What happens if two applications register the same provider class? (I have more applications that must communicate between eachother. The content provider must be registered, of course, along with the first application installed on the system. The problem here is that I don't know which one will be, so I want to deliver the ContentProvider with all the applications)

I made an icon and saved it in res/drawable directory as icon.png and edited the line code...
But on restarting the emulator, the icon doesn't get displayed. There are no other icon.png files in the project.code...

Just a small discussion. Curious as to why people prefer Sense-less ROM's. Android is the best cell phone OS I have ever used, and I think the SenseUI only improves it, aesthetically(sp?) and socially speaking. The tiny lag my Hero suffers is worth it for all of the beautiful widgets, the launcher, the Facebook and Twitter integrations and did I mention. I have never described anything electronic as beautiful before! The stock Android look captivates me until I use it. It seems so bland and *ugh* to me. And as far as speed goes, the Senseless ROM's I have tried are no faster then the Fresh ROM I am running, and if it is it's completely unnoticed by me. But anyways I am just curious what reasons you have for using the SenseUI or stock Android OS, whether it be for apps to run more efficiently, speed, whatever. Just curious, might try a couple new ROM's soon.

Does Android prefer a specific phone number formatting when syncing?
For example when entering in a contacts info in gmail should I be using dashes (1-666-555-7777) or just putting in 16665557777

I know this has probably been gone over before, but I'm still looking for an LED Flashlight for the HTC Incredible. Any word on if there is one or if there is one in the works? I'd prefer to not root my phone.

My app is downloading a file that does not need to be kept. So I was trying to put it in the directory returned by Environment.getDownloadCacheDirectory() (that returns "/cache").
But apparently it is not accessible, (a FileNotFoundException is thrown).

We are using SharedPreferences(Not default preferences.) to store our application related settings. These settings are not accessible in the background service as the application context is different from service context. It always returns the default values. We want to have our own UI to manage settings. So, we don't want to use PreferenceActivity.
Is there a way or hack to access SharedPreferences from inside a service which are created by application?

App Ops is no longer accessible after the 4.4.2 Update. Google states that it was never intended for the end user. Check out the link below for more: Googler: App Ops Was Never Meant For End Users, Used For Internal Testing And Debugging Only

I hate soft keys. They're hard to see. It's hard to know whether I pressed them. I often press them accidentally. They add absolutely nothing to the phone. In short, soft keys suck.

I think this is a great idea for thread discussion, alot of people are worrying about the isolated/limited connection to Sprint's 4G, I think its a little overblown, the Evo will still be an awesome phone. What are some things on the Evo only accessible by 4G and not 3G?
For example, I've noticed the general knowledge of consumers didnt know youre still able to use Qik by both front and rear cameras via 3G, granted I dont know if the quality is better if used by 4G, however its still useable, if youve been watching the sticky thread above about general information on the Evo, there has been some Qik links where a Sprint or other marketing employee has been recording videos via the front facing 1.3 camera, in Kansas City, where they dont have 4G yet. Not only that but Qik is also available in the Android Market for other phones. --->Android Market
Qik, and Video Sharing? hell yes. Video Chatting through 3G? Possibly not.
I've also noticed in some Evo videos a Sprint employee states that the option to watch HQ Youtube videos only occurs in 4G, but I'm still curious as to what the quality is on 3G. I've also read that you can watch Hulu via the Skyfire browser, which to me is HUGE plus, unfortunately, Skyfire isnt available on Android just yet.

When in the messaging app, and in text message conversations I am having many issues. 1st issue: conversations or "threads" as it is put are seperated, which I like this option, but it also makes it an issue. I am unable to forward any messages I receive.
attachments in messages are not accessable, or able to be saved. I can not save photos, video, music, files ect. I can not set any attachments as ringtones, screen savers, backgrounds. And I can not forward any of the information that is included in a text. I have become very frustrated with the Droid, I thought this was a great phone but seems for the pricetag and hype, I am unable to do less with it as simple functions that I had on my previous phone the LG Chocolate. I can not save anything I receive, and I also can not send any of my music files or recordings as an attachment.
I may not have this whole Droid thing figured out, but I dont want it to take me a month to figure it out. And it seems like I am going past my "Worry Free" period of time. I was unable to save many of my items from old phone to Droid, and that was a bother. But the text messaging is my biggest complaint, I liked the ability to save sounds, forwards sounds photos ect. And I can not do this now with the Droid, is there a way to fix this issue?

How can I set my Galaxy Nexus to prefer WiFi for data over the Mobile Network? I have to go to settings, turn off "enable data access over mobile network," then cycle WiFi on-off several times before the phone will connect to my home router. Router has two channels, both a WPA2 encrypted one, and a "home guest" (open) one. Both show up as disabled until I cycle the WiFi off and on several times. There must be a setting to tell the phone to prefer WiFi -- no?

Duplicate: static options menu
I know how to create a menu in my application with an icon and text on each "button" of the menu, but this menu is only visible on the activity where I created it...
I would like to know if it is possible to create a global menu which would be accessible from all activities?

This is my target:
I need an Android application which should be able to fetch data from the web (maybe an .apk or a .jar) and launch "something" from it.
If it's a "trivial" class there's no problem at all. This is my Loader
CODE:.............
The problem is that the code I want to execute looks very like an application, which should have a "simple" view and some interaction on it.
I'm not able to invoke the "onCreate" method of my downloaded class.
I guess I've three streets:
I look for a method which silently install the application and then runs it (is it possible?) I understand how to initialize a second "application" inside my own one (with its own R and all stuff) I write my master program to fetch data from the web and construct pages dinamically.

I see a lot of Java code where android prefers to have developers use static inner classes. Particularly for patterns like the ViewHolder Pattern in custom ListAdapters. I'm not sure what the differences are between static and non-static classes. I've read about it but it doesn't seem to make sense when concerned with performance or memory-footprint.

For about a week now the Internet is not accessible randomly on my phone. Either a site will not load at all, or I will get a partial page. Either way, something is messed up. I've called Verizon about this a few times and they can't figure it out. They had me check some settings on my phone, checked my version, done the #228 thing, checked the towers. Now they say that the only other options are to replace my phone or reset the whole thing to factory.
I've been through too many phones. I'm done with switching phones and resetting them. And I can't believe that it's the phone or Google as the last person suggested. I use a lot of data. I'm up to 1GB right now and still have 19 more days in the billing cycle. I think they are throttling my connection.

Are there any apps that would allow me to write a message, convert it to a QR code, then save that graphic to the phone, or even share it via email? Bar scanner is great for sharing links as QR codes, but a notepad I could type in would be cooler.

For all of you android devs out there that have the Android simulator running on your computer, you know that there are a few built in apps that are already installed on your 'phone'. I had an idea for an app that would utilize a function that is already being done in the spare parts app that comes already installed. I went on to the android developer site, dug through the source code files, and found the spare parts app, and am now trying to set it up so that running it from eclipse on my machine actually runs the app in the simulator.
In other words, I want to be able to make changes to and adjust some of the things in that app for my own needs. But it won't compile, because of a number of different errors. How do I get that source code running on my local machine? Is there some special trick that I just don't know about? I thought that if I could get the source code than the rest would be easy, but it isn't being too easy.

I'm wondering if it's possible to have an app that has a portion of its code implemented using Android 1.5 (API Level 3) and part using 1.6. (For example maybe implementing one of the app's activities in 1.6 while the overall app is in 1.5)?

Cannot seem to be able to access apps stored on SD card. Pic of app does not even show up, just a generic picture (Same picture for all apps). At time, after rebooting, the apps are available as they should be. Also, I can download apps when the SD card apps are not available, but they will not install. Running UD8. Anyone have any help? Getting to be very frustrating.

I'm using the official D2EXT MIUI-Rom (latest Version) on my HTC Desire, had no problems with it so far.
I've updated my SU binary with the preinstalled SU-App yesterday, wasn't thinking about any bad consequences.
I rebooted the phone and wanted to view some pictures from my SD Card: no access anymore.
Windows says, the type of my data partition is RAW. Ubuntu just says, I dont have any rights to get access on that card.
The card is definitely NOT broken! I'm restoring all files right now from my card with Recuva (Windows). But for example, pictures seem to be broken and can't be displayed.
What should I do now? Might a SU binary downgrade work? Is there any way to downgrade without a working SD card?

I would like to know how to execute code before exiting application. My application is composed of several activities. When the user starts the application (from the launcher menu or from a notification in the status bar), he goes in an InitActivity where I process some initializations. From user experience, application always restarts. One of these initializations is to init a network manager and start a thread that periodically sends a network request to notify a server that application is active.
I need to process some end operations, like stopping this thread when user quits application, for example by pressing the HOME key or BACK key when he's in the root activity. However, when the user press the HOME key, application is still running in background.
Q1 : is it possible to execute code when exiting application (I see the onTerminate() method of the class Application but it seems not to be always called)?
Q2 : Is it possible to force application exit (activity method finish () only destroy the current activity, not the application)?
Q3 : Is it possible to handle HOME key press (onKeyDown() is not called when this button is pushed)?
