View 8 RepliesI've discovered what may be a bug in the "app2sd" feature of Android 2.2.I haven't been able to find any information about it using the usual searches.My app will create a home screen shortcut in the usual way. Inside its intent that to be launched is a few extras describing the action to take.One of the extras is a string array.Now apparently, if someone creates a shortcut with my app, then moves the app to the sdcard, Android will strip out the string array intent from the shortcut.Other extras are left intact.This of course renders the shortcut useless to the app since key data is missing.Moving the app back to the phone doesn't restore the missing data.If the app is already on the sdcard and a shortcut is then created, it's OK.But then if the app is moved back to the phone, the string array extra is stripped again.I'm just going to take a wild-ass guess and say that Android does something to an app's shortcuts when it gets moved to and from the sdcard (maybe re-constructing it?) but it's not copying the string array extras.Is there any merit to this guess?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI know hardly anything about Android but here goes. I just upgraded from my Hero to an Evo and got my g/f a Samsung Epic. I played with both phone all evening and really like certain feature on each. I like her overall user interface more than mine. She has the four "shortcuts" at the bottom of the screen which I think is pretty cool but I have all the slick HTC widgets.. Is there a way to make my UI have the "shortcuts" at the bottom like her phone without loosing my widgets? I figure I could search around and load her interface on my phone but then I figure I will loose the HTC factory stuff.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor example, Gensoid Lite, a Sega Genesis emulator, allows you to create homescreen shortcuts to launch specific ROMs inside the app. Are there any internet radio apps that have this same functionality? I'd like to create some icons to access my favorite stations right from the homescreen instead of opening the app and going through there. I've tried XiiaLive, Cherry rPlayer, Google Listen, and TuneIn Radio and none of those have this functionality.

View 16 Replies View RelatedI updated to 2.1 recently, and I am using Helix launcher with 5 screens. I let a friend use my phone the other night and when she gave it back, it was messed up. I mean, it seems to work the same, but there are 5 small screens at the bottom of my home screen that look as if they are previews/shortcuts to the other screens. I cannot seem to figure out how she got that on there, or how to get rid of it! It's really annoying. Anyone have a clue??

Is this possible using the standard android apis?
Hopefully this is just something easy since I'm still wet behind the ears with programming for android. My issue is that i have a couple EditText boxes at the bottom of my layout. When in the emulator they work as expected, you touch the edittext and the screen scrolls up so you can see the content. However when i try it on my droid inc the edittext is covered by the keyboard.
