I know I could use it and I think others have mentioned they would like to use it in their apps. Currently it is "internal" so we're not supposed to use it and we have to "roll our own" which is a pain (I've done it). Also why does DatePicker only have a 200 year range (1900-2100)? Even the date gadget that the Pocket PC has goes back as far as mid 1700s. Add a range option on it.

I just made a private comment to twospirits, suggesting that he sticky the "What Apps Do You Have" thread. His response was that he didn't want to sticky too many threads, as to overwhelm the main page with a dozen stickied threads. Instead, he's relying on the "Forum Guidelines" stickied item. I think that's great but in my past experience, new users don't usually check that. In my experience, new users will simply come on in, maybe glance over the thread titles of the first page to see if any pertain to what they're interested in, then simply start a new thread to get their questions addressed. And that new thread is often redundant. twospirits suggested that I start a discussion to see what others in the community thought. If you have a specific thread that you think should be stickied

View 2 Replies View RelatedI added around 6 gb of music to my 8 gb microSD card. After that the Camera updates the SD card for 20 minutes initially and after each picture is taken, and the Gallery says "Please wait..." for 20 minutes each time a new picture is added. If I remove the music files the slowdown is almost gone. I still think the Gallery is slow updating, but I can live with a few seconds. 20 minutes between each picture is just insane. The SD card works fine otherwise, and I have tried to reformat on the phone also. Same problem. What is wrong, and is ther anything I can do except for not having music on the phone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an app or widget that can be used to make a larger button? I'd prefer a 2x2 size that I can use to direct dial while driving rather than having to fiddle with the small 1x1 size, but anything bigger than the standard would be fine.
I've only found apps that make smaller buttons and one that makes me select subsequent options before I can actually call. I just want a large single press widget.
I defined a white color in mycolors.xml under res/values as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="my_white">#ffffffff</color>
</resources>
In my code, I set the text color of a TextView as the white color I defined:
TextView myText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.my_text);
myText.setTextColor(R.color.my_white);
But the text in the TextView turned out to be a black color. When I use @color/my_white in layout xml files, it works fine. I check the generate R.java, and see: public static final int my_white=0x7f070025;
I want to make (yet another) news widget. Initially I thought it was enough to: 1. Download all the news articles 2. Update the widget every 5 seconds to change the currently displayed article using Alarm Manager (Alarm Manager.RTC) 3. Update the widget every 30-60 minutes to get new articles. This worked great on the first try but battery was quickly drained. I checked the logs and it turned out that the widget did the 5 second updates even if the screen was off. This was a surprise to me since the docs states: "..set an alarm with an Intent that your AppWidgetProvider receives, using the Alarm Manager. Set the alarm type to either ELAPSED_REAL TIME or RTC, which will only deliver the alarm when the device is awake. " I guess the device is considered "awake" even if screen is off? I found the same issue here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. I then checked the standard news widget and the other news widgets most popular on the Android Market and I see that they have services running all the time. Maybe because they want to handle the broadcast event when the screen is turned off? So is this really the best solution to have a service running in the background? So if someone downloads 10 different news widgets from different companies they end up with a list of 10 services in the "Running services" list?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a widget, and I want it to make a phone call to a preset number when the user clicks on it. How do I do this? I havn't yet understood how widgets work, so it would be really helpful if you could provide a sample code.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am developing a simple widget which has a couple of buttons in its layout.
Before the widget gets added, the configuration activity is displayed, where the user can choose if the widget makes any sounds when the buttons get pressed or not.
Thus, a user can put two instances of the widget, one where he chose sound to be activated and another where he chose the opposite. However, I can not seem to be able to reproduce the expected behavior (that one reproduces sound and the other doesn't).
The buttons' behavior varies according to the flags specified to the PendingIntent:
- FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT seems to override the previous intent/setting - no flags (0x00) seems to ignore any intent/setting after the first instance of the widget is put.
What I want to do: I want to be able to configure different instances of the same widget to behave in a different way, according to what the user specified in the configuration activity. I am attempting to do this with the help of the appWidgetId of each instance:
I have tried the following when assigning an action to the click of the button:
CODE:.................
This results in the first widget acting properly (The IDs printed in logcat are as expected) When adding a second widget, however, the first widget starts reporting the second widget's appWidgetId in its onReceive(), when it previously did no such thing. (because of the FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT, I guess)
How can one make different instances behave in a different way? Is there a way to do this with the help of the appWidgetId?
I have elaborated a widget application for the purpose of debugging this problem which tries to be minimal, while reproducing the (un) desired behavior: http://www.2shared.com/file/8243059/b6519584/IntentTesttar.html
I just noticed yesterday accidentally that you can press and hold the search button on the lock screen and perform anything Google Voice Actions is capable of. I am using a Droid 2 unrooted. This may affect the Droid X as well. This is a huge security flaw in Motorola's modified pattern/PIN lock screen. Hopefully this thread garnishes enough attention so that this can be patched soon! Steps to reproduce:
1. Lock your screen
2. Press and hold the search button "magnifying glass"
3. Speak any voice action and the phone will respond. Note: you will not get any visual or audible cues (in Google Voice Actions) that it is working, but it is!
One thing though I cant get over was the keyboard. Being so off center I found that I could not type as normal becuase my right thumb could not reach to the "yhn" row (middle of the keyboard). I know many have said you get used to it so this is my question. In getting used to it, does that mean you learned to hold the phone differently? Did you type more with your left thumb? In all honesty, I found the keyboard to be bad enough that I questioned weather its worth having it at all. In which case the Nexus might be a better alternative once it comes out on Verizon.

However, the newer versions of Samsung Kies can apparently detect that we've got North American Captivates and will not connect. Anybody have links to the older versions? Doesn't proprietary-ness totally defeat the reason we bought androids in the first place?
