AVI file attached to gmail on Droid only offers PREVIEW as an option and my Rock Player app (which would play it) does not appear on list of apps to use. Movies and Video Player only come up and unlike Windows, there is no ability to browse for an app. (something that should be added to android). Is there a setting somewhere to fix up this goofiness? Been looking, but so far no luck.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem sending pictures with the gmail widget on my eris. I take the picture and attach it to an email composed with the gmail widget. However, when the recipient (and my own gmail account to test) receives the email, the pictures are not viewable. They just appear as a red "x". I can send the same email from the phone to my hotmail account and the pictures show up fine. I have tried different resolution sizes, but with the same result. I have accessed gmail through the phone's browser to try to send the attachments that way, but cannot see that there is an option to include attachments. It is pretty frustrating to use a gmail widget to have the pictures not appear when sent to my own gmail account. Then to check my hotmail account and see that the pictures appear fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a Sprint Hero and when I try to send a 1MB photo, it basically freezes up my Gmail on my smartphone. Is that normal? I've tried to do it a few times, but it just says "sending" for longer than 10 minutes. It even sort of crashes my phone by hogging all the data and not letting me surf the internet or sync with Remember the Milk and other data reliant apps.I hate this Sprint Hero, by the way (unrooted, running OS 2.1). It's a genuine POS.It's so laggy (takes literally 10 F'n seconds to call someone after I dial the number).I've honestly almost smashed it on the ground twice it's so laggy.When I'm in a hurry, I can't stand it's lagginess.It's amazing to me this phone was released to the public with such an egregious lag time on almost everything I do (most noticeably the phone, which is simple compared to other apps).
View 2 Replies View Relatedim not an expert on how push email works, but my understanding is that gmail messages should appear on my phone without me having to refresh or manually sync the gmail app. for a reason unknown to me, sometimes this works and sometimes it doesnt. at night, i shut down wifi and the mobile network to conserve battery and start up the mobile network when i leave for work in the morning. i get notification of new yahoo email, thru the htc widget, almost instantaneously, yet gmail doesnt come thru until i manually sync the gmail app. then during the course of the day, sometimes gmail messages get pushed right thru and other times not at all until i manually sync the app. meanwhile my yahoo mail comes thru flawlessly.
considering gmail is supposed to push and the htc widget does not, this is the opposite of what i expect. as far as settings, i have auto sync enabled for both the device and for the gmail app. while i always assume user error until proven otherwise, in this instance i think i have all the correct settings, which makes sense considering sometimes gmail does get pushed. its just erratic and unpredictable. anybody got any ideas what's going on here?
why my S4 is deleting all my contacts from it. I have my contacts synced with my gmail contacts and this has been the case for years. I had a Samsung Infuse before this and have never had a problem. I've had the S4 for about 3 weeks now and this hasn't happened until yesterday. And since yesterday it has happened 3x's. At first I thought it was a Trulia app (realestate app) that I was using to try to call some realtors. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence but the first 2 times I was on the app and my contacts disappeared. How I recovered them was through the contacts recovery feature on Gmail. I would be SOL if I were out and needed to call someone on my contacts list immediately and without access to my laptop.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy app wants to send a data file by email. However, the data only exists inside the database. There is no physical file containing it. In order to make it possible to send this using INTENT_SEND, I need to return a file descriptor in ContentProvider.openFile(). This means I need to write my data out to a temporary file on disk somewhere so I can open it to get a real file descriptor. However, the email app doesn't necessarily use the file immediately, and *doesn't tell me* when it's finished with it, so I don't know when to remove the temporary file. As the file is likely to be quite large I don't want to keep it around for long periods.
What I'd really like to do is to be able to avoid the whole issue by using a callback to synthesise the data as and when the email app needs it, using some sort of pipe. Unfortunately due to the real file descriptor requirement I can't use Java pipes, there are no Unix fifo APIs that I can find, and you can't create a ParcelFileDescriptor from a Unix socket, which was my other option. Is there any easy way to do what I want, or do I need to start messing around with TCP sockets?
I noticed last night that the messages on Gmail on my phone weren't matching that of online, evening after forcing another sync. It's basically missing one conversation of (12) emails.I then checked using a desktop client and also installed K-9 on the phone and they both matched what was on Gmail online complete with the missing conversation. However, Gmail on my phone is missing the whole conversation, but has everything else. Any idea's why it'll just miss this one conversation? When I complete a search in Gmail on the phone for content from the conversation, it finds it, but it's just not in my Inbox?

We are starting the e-mail intent of the user's choice (createChooser) and sending a zip file. This zip file is created right before the email sends, but we need to make sure the file is there until the email actually gets sent. Once the e-mail is sent, it would be nice to have this file deleted instead of sitting around eating SD card storage. Is this possible? (it can't be done in onActivityResult, e-mail intents don't actually finish, they cancel and thread the sending in a background service...so when onActivityResult gets called the e-mail might not have sent yet). Any ideas?

I have a CursorAdapter attached to a ListView, the ListView contains checkboxes for every row. When I check/uncheck a checkbox in a row it will update it to a 0 or 1 in the database (This is working fine) I also have another checkbox in the same Activity that when pressed will disable all the checkboxes in the ListView [ setEnabled(false) ].
The problem is that when I press this checkbox the ListView checkboxes return to their initial state when I started the activity. It does not matter the number of checkboxes I changed during the activity.
However, if I press the back button and then re-enter the activity all modifications are saved because the Cursor is refreshed. I am calling notifyDataSetChanged() at the end of the the methods that disables all the checkboxes.
I also tried this for every checkbox in the ListView but it did not work (was unable to check a checkbox) Any ideas?
I'm trying to see how extra information can be attached to contacts entries. Looking at the SDK reference, I stumble upon the Contacts.Extensions (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Contacts.Extens ions.html) and Contacts.People.Extensions (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Contacts.People .Extensions.html) classes. Sadly I can't find any article about what theses classes are for and how to use them. My goal is to add a few extra fields to the contacts entries which do not fit in any of the current available field types (emails, im accounts, phone numbers, postal addresses). Is there a way to achieve this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've literally spent 15+ hours trying to figure out this one bug (when I should be studying for finals). Any help is greatly appreciated. The bug appears on the dev1 phone running cupcake. It was not present before the upgrade. Basically, the problem is that when a activity with a webview and 2 threads is run, the service that runs after it will always crashes the process (but it works fine when the debugger is attached). The worst part is that it crashes at arbitrarily places in the service, so I can't isolate the error.
The details:
I have an activity with a WebView. The activity executes two threads, one after the other using the basic new Thread(new Runnable() {public void run()... Both threads use the same handler to report back results to the main activity. Flow works like this: when the activity starts, the first thread gets data to construct the URL that the webview will load (using DefaultHTTPClient). Then when the user navigates to a certain page, the second thread is again fired (using DefaultHTTPClient) to get some xml. This works fine.
The problem happens right afterwards. Once the activity with the webview finishes (it calls finish on itself), a service is started that has a thread that using DefaultHttpClient to downloaded some xml, process it, etc. The service crashes at arbitrary points with no error messages, simply displaying a memory dump, and kills the main process with it. When I attempt to debug the process, it runs just fine w/ no crashes. I've repeated this at least 30 times, with the same result. (no crash w/ debugger, crash when installing signed apk file to device and running it).
The program doesn't crash when the threads are removed from the activity with webview. So even if the webview activity runs (but all threads are removed), the service runs just fine regardless of the debugger.
Here is how my threads start (both of the ones in the activity with the webview, and the main thread in the service that is launched afterwards):

The stack trace does not list any of our code. Usually, this error means that there was an orientation change while a dialog was open, thereby invalidating the reference to the dialog when android recreates it. All of my activities already uses Android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" in order to prevent them from doing this. We still get the error. Has anyone else seen this before? What could be the problem?
