I would like to have my code run slightly differently when running on the emulator than when running on a device. (For example, using 10.0.2.2 instead of a public URL to run against a development server automatically.) What is the best way to detect when an Android application is running in the emulator?

Is there a way to tell if you are running in the emulator?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a script where I start an emulator and after the system is fully booted, I want to install an .apk.
How can I know when the emulator is fully booted so I can run the install command? Here http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html it is said that adb wait-for-device install <app>.apk is not correct.
So how can I achieve this? Is it possible? Is my only option to sleep for a few minutes until I can be sure that the emulator is started?
Since Android 2.2, we can read the ANDROID_ID from the emulator which is always 9774D56D682E549C It breaks a lot of existing code that used to test if the ANDROID_ID was null to check whether the device was an emulator or not. I need a future proof way to test a device is an emulator.

And several other attempts to call "link" that also fail (sshfs does not support hard links).
Is it possible to change the emulator's behavior to create lock files somewhere in /tmp (using some hash of image path as lock file name)? I am OK to try this myself: which repositories from https://android.git.kernel.org/ are necessary to rebuild the emulator alone, and where in the sources is the code responsible for image locks?
I need to run several emulator instances to test my application. When i try to run instances using emulator -data <path> option, the emulator crashes.
I got a MS Visual Studio window informing that emulator throws a "unhandled win32 exception".
The exception message in the debugger (MS Visual Studio 2008) is: "Unhandled exception at 0x77c4706c in emulator.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x03216848"
The emulator runs normally without "-data" option.
I am getting the following error when I try running my program in the emulator:
emulator: ERROR: the user data image is used by another emulator. aborting`
Is there a way to reload an Android application in the emulator without closing the emulator, saving any code changes, and running the emulator again? If I make even a simple change to the layout, it takes about 30 seconds by time I run it in Eclipse and Android "boots", and I can unlock the emulator to run the application. Is there any way to shorten this time when making changes, or is it something I just have to deal with?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the most recent version of Android for linux (android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz). I was trying to use the the Android Ant task(s) for packaging, building, and deploying my code. I should mention that I'm running AMD64, but have the 32-bit libraries installed. The Android Ant tasks are all broken.
First, the start-emulator task never gets the emulator running. It does get past starting adb, but then just sits there.
Second, the SDK is missing the aapt binary in the tools directory. So, the example notepad sample application will not even package correctly.
I have all the dependencies configured for Android. I can run it from the command line just fine.I assume the Ant code is out of sync with the recent SDK updates. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? At this point, I'm considering writing my own Python scripts to interact with the Android SDK. Ugh.
In my dummy application i want to send MMS. But i don't know how to check it.I know that we can send SMS from one emulator to another but, is it possible for MMS? If yes then how it can be done.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI intend to use the Android Emulator to send/receive SMS. I send SMS to the emulator using the sms send command. I'm aware of emulators being able to converse with each other over SMS but would it possible to receive that the SMS reply sent from an Android Emulator on a external TCP port?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have ported the Android to a x86 platform. And i want to detect the USB plug-in.But follow the information about the android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED in the SDK's DOC, i can't receive the event of the USB's plug-in. i have checked my code and it can receive the other event ( ps:intent action) .
Besides, in the CLI, i could mount the USB device to /sdcard but it couldn't mount automatically. have seen some source code about the mount and mountlistener and it should be effective. my SDK's version is 1.5.
I want to incorporate some Accelerometer code into a Android application im working and want to see if this is possible. Basically what I need is for the code to detect car acceleration motion. I am not wanting to determine speed with the code but just distinguish if the phone is in a car and has accelerated motion (Hence the car is moving for the first time). I have gone through many different accelerometer applications to see if this motion produces a viable profile to go off of and it appears it does. Just looking for something that popups a "Hello World" dialog when it detects your in the car and its moving for the first time down the street. Any help would be appreciated and a simple yes or no its possible would work. I would also be interested in compensating anyone that is capable of doing this as well.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to implement HorizontalScrollView which is scrolled to predefined positions (similar to Home behaviour). It works with slow gestures, but does not work with neither flings nor arrow key press.
I hooked to View.onScrollChanged() and it is called when scrolling happened, but I can't determine when scrolling animation ends.
In theory there should be a way to say that fling movement is over. Is there such API?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to get a system notification when an app has been uninstalled?I would like to maintain a table of all clients' info currently using my app. However, that seems impossible if there is no way to detect this event. The first solution I can think of is to have an always running service in the background listening for android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED. But then would that service be killed once the uninstallation process has ended, or would it be stopped just before the process has kicked off? Also even if this is a solution it's has the potential to put off a lot of people when they realise that part of the app is running in the background.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've asked "how to detect home screen" before. I'm still searching. I noticed when I press "home" button on Android emulator, I got this statement in catalog so I went to ActivityManager to see if I can find a clue there. Here is my findings: 1. I can not instantiate ActivityManager because it's constructor is not public, and it's not a singleton 2. it has a function called: getRunningAppProcesses sounds promising -- would it give me all the running processes? 3. since I can not instantiate ActivityManager I tried to use one of the derived class: RunningAppProcesseInfo to see if I can use it's parent methods: getRunningAppProcesses. Nope.

I am looking for a way in which I can detect any tap on the screen (not just in my app), I don't mind not having the information of what the tap was (control/letter), just the fact that a tap was made will suffice for me for now. Is there any possible way to achieve this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my application I need to react on APN changes (including going back and forth between WiFi and GSM connections) and change proxy settings in case it needs to be taken into account to connect with the network. I'm listening for ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION broadcasts to check for APN changes which contains 'reason' extra among others. Unfortunately the 'reason' for APN change is not documented, maybe it should not be used? I was using (with limited success) reason:apnChanged and reason:apnSetupComplete as indicators of APN change being done but that does not work well with going back and forth between WiFi and mobile connection. What is the correct way of listening for changes of current network APN/Interface?
