Android :: Hiding Icons
Dec 15, 2009
is there a way to have a folder in the 'All programs' and then within that folder place the links to applications?
I am looking for something like the start button on a PC.
There are many apps we can install that we never actually need an icon for, such as Phonebook and Cnomp to name but 2.
When I was using a BB I could create a folder and dump the links to similar apps inside or I could simply hide an icon.
How can I do it on the Hero?

My phone is rooted. I want to be able to hide app icons from app drawer. But i want to be able to use it.
I tried CCSW App Manager but when it hides, i couldn't be able to use.
For example 2cloud. When i am going to share url, i can use it from right click. But i don't want 2cloud icon in appdrawer.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.2.2. Is there any way of removing ongoing icons which permanently sit on the left side of the status bar? I ask because apps like 'Unlock with WiFi' warns you when disabling its permanent icon that it will hinder the process' activity. I tested it and yes, the app didn't detect the state of my WiFi well. Same goes for BBM's Connected icon.
Is there any way of making their visibility 0% or making the icons 0px, if not 1px, without disabling the icons entirely?

I would do this: [URL] .... (created with paint)
Because I get to edit files, but I am looking for a long time without finding how to put ALL the icons on the left, and keep only the icons on the right as in the picture.

I notice that the home screen is customizable but not the four applications on the bottom, the call, email, browser and applications. How would I change those icons with different icons? Mainly the email and browser. How do I turn off or at least severly limit the data that goes to and from my phone. I do not have wireless and am just a bit paranoid about going over my data limit. I got the phone from work and this is my first smartphone so I am a bit nervous about anything I do on it.

I'm trying to develop an application that should not be visible to the user. I mean an app that can't be visible at the Manage Apps screen (Settings - Applications - Manage applications) and also whose services couldn't either be visible at the Running Services screen (Settings - Applications - Running services)I know I'm trying to fight against Android's nature of being open and give control to the user. But I want, somehow, to cheat the system and pretend the app does not run and even does not exist. Is that possible?

Was given advice to hide app from Droid (build:5) until fully compatible by doing this in androidmanifest : <uses-sdk android:maxSdkVersion="4" />
However the android:maxSdkVersion tag is only available if compiling using sdk 1.6.I heard that compiling using 1.6 will hide my app from users who are still on 1.5 (still a few i can see).But I want 1.5 and 1.6 users still to see the app just not 2.0 - how can I achieve this?

Is there any apps out there that could hide an incoming call from a preselected number so that when the number calls my phone, it will not be put on hold or disconnected, just ringing but not showing up on my screen?

I am working on a research project and I need to write an Android application that is able to intercept SMS's and, according to their content, route them to a web services without showing any alert.
I tried to register a broadcast receiver on the intent SMS_RECEIVED, but the default SMS application is still notifying the SMS in the notification bar. The only way to achieve what is manually disabling the message notification from the default SMS application's menu.
I found that the "SMS Guard" application, available on the market, is able to filter messages out without any notification, without touching any default configuration (I wrote to the developer, no answer yet).

Is there any way of hiding specific app developers that you don't link on the market?
E.g. if one developer has made thousands of sound board apps or themes for an app that I won't be using - I could hide that developer and wouldn't see his/her apps on the market?
If this is possible, I think it would make the market much less annoying when you have to scroll through hundreds of sound boards and app themes.

I have an app on my daughters phone that will not allow her to text and drive. The problem is she can use any task killer and kill the app and bypass the application. So my question is, is there a way to hide an app from the task killers, or have the app check to see if it is running, and if not restart its self?

I am currently making an application that's to work as auto-theft.The user whose mobile is stolen sends an sms to his phone and it's intercepted by the application installed in the phone.According to the format and instructions the phone performs the task.I am making a module to hide the contacts on a particular instruction.How do I go about it.I have worked on inserting and updating contacts but how do I hide them, such that they are not visible in the native contacts app.They should become visible when the user sends another instruction.that means they are not to be deleted.and I had another query related to this.how do we delete a contact?

I am wondering if Android allows you to suppress sending the own number when calling someone. I suppose there'll be a general option (like generally sending/hiding number) but I'd be particularly interested if there's an option to send it only to certain numbers (like all stored contacts or maybe even specific contacts) and not to all.

I've done a bit of searching on this topic and the only reference I can find is to the older version of the firmware that allows you to 'hide' googles contacts. I have a TON of emails I've collected over the past several years on my gmail and a handful of contacts I ported over from my Touch Pro. Now I want to hide the google contacts so that I only see my 'phone' contacts in the people or other contact apps. Whats the best way to go about this? In quick summary, I do not want to see my google contacts on my phone list. I only want to see phone contacts.

The option I see so far is calling requestWindowFeature (Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE). Is there a way to bring it back programmatically?

I already know ho to hide the title bar with the getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); in the Activity onCreate() method before the setContentView() call.
But i want something different. I'd like to show/hide the title bar in any moment. To make an example, place a button in the view that toggle the title. Unfortunately the requestFeature can be done only before the call to setContentView().

I have an Android application that generates some HTML which is rendered locally, in a Webkit view. The details of the HTML generation aren't really that important except for: the bulk of it comes from one place, and I cannot change it the template around that HTML (including headers, footers, HEAD etc), the CSS, and Javascript is under my control. most images are under my control, and rendered separately from the untouchable HTML. These images come from local disk, and do not require the network. It can be assumed that these images are always available. The untouchable HTML contains images which would, ideally be displayed. If the network is unavailable, it is these images that would fail to load. the complete HTML file is likely to be stashed to disk, long before it is rendered. i.e. we cannot render different HTML based on network availability.

I am working on a fairly basic screen layout for my first Android application and running into some issues. My goal is to have a TextView in the top left and top right corner, a large "hello world" TextView in the exact middle of the screen, and then a button at the bottom of the screen.My issue is, to center the "hello world" TextView vertically, I need to set the layout_height="fill_parent".However, this causes the middle TextView to cover and hide the button at the bottom of the screen. Is there a better way to do this than what I am currently trying?

I have a cursor, and it got, lets say, 40 rows, I want to hide some rows when the user check a checkbox.One way is run the query again on the cursor, but it doesn't help me because the condition is done by Java (calculate balance, with many logic).I need something that will get the current row, and return if it can be show or not.any help will be appreciated.

Starting with 2.2, scrollbars would disappear once the scrolling has stopped. Is there a way to make them always visible like before?

I'm torn between which group to post this too, but since it is for an application I am working on, I guess I'll stick it here. So here we go. I have an application which downloads data onto the sdcard to be used by the application. Some of these files are sound or music files and the music player in android seems to parse these directories and add these files to the list. I'd like to somehow block or hide these files from the music player. Is there is a way to do this? I was thinking it may be possible to name my folder with a period at the beginning, since linux hides such files. I'm just not sure if that is going to hide it from the music player or if there is another way to handle this.
