Android :: Save An Application Installer
Jul 26, 2010
When you scan a qr code, the Dx auto downloads the application installer and executes it. Is there a way (possibly on the pc instead) to just download the app installer, and archive it for later use? I'm thinking about things like fancy widgets, that had to be removed, updated apps that are not as attractive as the original release, or applictions that might just vanish over time. They are all small, and I'd prefer to archive them on our PC, just in case. Is there a way to pull the installers off the internal memory of the phone?

Verizon is replacing my Eris (defective screen) with a new one...and I'd like to take my Swype with me in the process. I no longer have the September beta email they sent me, so I can't re-do that process at this point.
How do I save it (along with the Installer) and move it to the new Eris?

I developed an "heavy" application (700 Mb !). With an "apk installer" application, i can install it on the Nexus One SD card (Froyo "installLocation" option). My application is heavy because of the videos it contains (located in /raw directory). The problem I have, is that it crashes when launched, with this error :
CODE:............
I dont't understand the reason of this error, because when i try the same thing with a lighter application (250 Mb) it runs perfectly. Has anyone of you ever had this kind of problem ? Do you know if there is a size limit for applications to work ?

My company is developing a new device that will run on Android. I'm tasked to develop the software installation process, including application installations and updates as well as system software updates. I want to leverage as much as possible from the Android SDK. I'm looking for any advice or references to help me get started. I've downloaded the source code for Android 2.1 and have been tracing the source code path for software installations via adb. The path has taken me through adb client -> adb server -> adb deamon - > PackageManagerService -> installd.

On my Blackberry I had an app to save all my passwords and credentials and then open them up when I wanted to. It had its own master password.

I am developing an android application in which,the first activity is that for Login. After successful authentication, user can see an activity with 4 Tabs. My problem is that when user taps on the home button,the application should terminate and when the user again starts my application, he should be able to see the Login screen again and after successful Login, user should be able to see the tab on which he was working before application terminated(i.e., save state for all the tabs).

I've encountered a problem wile using my own subclass of android.app.Application. I have numerous activities in my application and I'm running a custom ROM which consumes quite a lot of memory. What happens is when I launch a third party activity (Camera) my Application is killed. My Application subclass stores vital data for the whole app so it can't work without it. android.app.Application doesn't have any methods for saving or restoring application state. Activity does have them but they are not suitable.
How to perform save/restore state on Application subclass?
UPDATE I've managed to do so by filling a Bundle obtained from onSaveInstanceState and restoring values in onCreate. But is there any better way?

Not sure if I am being an idiot but is there anyway of saving attachments from the gmail app? I can open them but cannot see an option anywhere to save it? Also if forwarding an email is there anyway of not including the quoted text?

I've done a lot of searching and I don't think this app exists yet and I was wondering what everyone else thought as to whether it was a good idea or not. Basically it would be a "My Locations" app where you could save the address of places you have searched or have been to before so when you wanted to get directions to there from your current GPS location you could do it without having to search for it again. Also, similar to Shazaam, when you were somewhere you could just "save as current location". It would be structured similar to your contacts so you could have a picture and have categories like restaurants, bars, etc. Let me know what you guys think.

I have Open Advanced Task Killer on my HTC Desire and wondered whether it was actually worth keeping. I usually have quite a lot running most of the time it seems, and I thought perhaps killing some apps every once in a while if I'm not using them would save battery. But is it worth it and is there a better app for this out there if it's worth having one at all?

As a follow on from my question on sharing state between Activities, how can I save the instance state of my Application? Since Application does not extend Activity, there is no onSaveInstanceState method to override.
NB: In advance, this is not a duplicate. Despite its name, How do I save an Android application's state? relates to Activity state

This is a bit complicated to explain (and my first post), so bear with me please: I am currently trying to figure out the best way of saving my application's state in a bundle on the onSaveInstanceState event (working on a game). My application's state is based on a "world" class which contains various objects. Among these objects there is a creature object which contains bitmaps (Bitmap object)(allowing me to draw the various sprites of the creature when it's walking with more flexibility and accessibility).
Bit of creature constructor Java:
CODE:.................
After looking around for a few hours I found that serializing the world object (and all its sub-objects) was an acceptable way of saving it in the bundle. Unfortunately it appears that we can't serialize bitmaps and considering they're a part of my "creature" I can't seem to see a workaround.
Here come my questions: 1- Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? (not supposed to save bitmaps in objects? supposed to handle bitmaps in a separate class which I don't pass on the bundle and reload my bitmaps when restoring the application? ...) 2- Is there another way of passing my "world" object into my bundle (would using Parcelable work?)

Does anyone know of an app to record phone calls? If not, I'm going to look into building one. I'd really like to just record all of my phone calls to have copies of them if I ever need to refer back to them.

APNdroid is a great android app and comes with a widget that effectively turns off data but still enable text/voice. It's great for a day of snowboarding when you only need the essentials but need the battery to last! The battery was only at 75% by the end of the day for me. Check it out, it's a very high quality and professional app.

I have noticed while working in the emulator that whenever i get out of my app via any method other than pressing the back button, my toggle button (if pressed) will have its state saved and return to that state when i return to the app. im guessing its because its value gets saved in a bundle and reloaded when i return. when i leave the app via the back button, this does not happen and the toggle is always off when i return. is there any way to get the value of the toggle back if the user leaves via the back button, without having to save the value in a db table? alternatively, if my apps notification is in the status bar, i can be confident that the toggle should always be selected, so if there is no way to save the state, is there a way to find out if my apps notification is currently being displayed? then it would be easy to just set the toggle each time via a quick check of the status bar.

Is there an app available, either from the Market or other sources, which would allow me to install 300 apks at a time instead of going through eachone? I have discovered Droid Explorer but I am not willing to root my phone.

Is there a way to install Astro File manager without using the market? Because if I would need to install APKs in a situation where I don't have access to the market (No Internet access, etc.) I would need to use Astro File Manager and if I didn't have it installed I would need a way to install it without using the standard way of using the market.it would save me bandwidth to install it from the SD Card each time.

When I download an app, does it save to the phones memory or the SD card?? Also, when I'm in "bulk storage" mode when plugged into my PC via the USB, I assume the window that pops up is the SD card as opposed to the phone memory?? Is there any way to check what is saved to either location?

Ever since I got unlimited data plan my battery life reduced by 60%. Before I would charge my phone once in 3-4 days, with 3g on all the time I could barely go through one day.
"Data On Demand allows you to save battery by turning off your (2G/3G-) data connection manually or automatically if your device goes to standby-mode (display turns black)."
The best features of this prog is that when u put it on auto mode it will only disable 3G when ur phone goes to standby mode thus saving u a lot of battery.

In Windows, we write "installer script", and user an "installer compiler" to generate an installer, let's say .inf for .msi/.cab and .nsi for NSIS.
But when it comes to Android, is there a similar method?

When providing a user on a mobile, a link to an android application via a web page, it is possible for params from the url to be passed to the app being installed.
I'm guessing the answer is no - but it doesn't help to ask.
The reasoning being that it would be handy for some situations to have a generic app that pulls config information from the referrer.

The package installer looks to take up a good amount of space when installing applications. We've published a very large game (ProjectINF - 6mb). And it looks to be taking up a good amount of space during the install process, to the point that we have a lot of users emailing us with complaints/requests to "fix it".
From what we've seen, it looks to take about 22mb of free space to install a 6mb apk. While I can imagine taking double or so for unpacking and temp locations, almost 4x the size seems a bit high. After an install with 22mb free, the device has 16mb free (which makes perfect sense). Users also seem to be getting errors on the market when trying to install with less than that amount of space (with no real clear error message, just "Install Failed".
