Android :: Setting An Icon In Application
Mar 11, 2010
I want to write an android application, that should have a homepage or home screen and having many utilities. Each utility should have an icon with the name. So clicking on each utility or the icon, the corresponding next screen should be displayed. It should be similar to the android home screen. Is there any sample application that i can refer? Could anybody please let me know, how to set the icons for the utilities in the homepage of my application.

I've got a line in my manifest that looks like this:
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/ app_name" android:debuggable="true">
But I see the default Android icon on the desktop instead of the one in drawable/icon. What else do I need to do?

I'm try to use a remote URL (like a favicon) for a Notification Icon, however the Constructor for a Notification only accepts a resource id (which is an int), as opposed to something sensical like a FileInputStream. How can I either, define at runtime a new resource id for a stream source, or download an icon to my resources and then dynamically get a resource id?

I would like to know if there is an option of setting an auto icon link of my application in the user's desktop, after installing it? The only way I know to do it, is that the user could drag it manually to his desktop from the applications list. Is there any way of doing it automatically for the user(without his touch)?

So obviously, I need to enable Location Settings in order to get GPS ability in Google Maps. But I don't see why it needs to have an icon taking up valuable space in the status bar (as a side note, there's an icon to indicate that it's OFF, so you can't NOT have a location setting icon on there). There was no such icon on my Droid.
Is there a way to disable this icon that anyone knows of? With Wifi/3G, the battery meter, alarm clock, the time, and the bars, they take up over half of my status bar. The problem is compounded by the fact that I have a battery app that always displays the exact battery percentage on the left side (another side note; why isn't the exact percentage shown on the default battery icon?

I noticed after doing a restore to Rubix 1.6 when I tried to access Settings they would not show nor was the Setting icon in my app drawer. Is this just a bad restore or is the Nandroid corrupted? I'm running DarkSlide v3 just fine right now just trying to figure out if my RubiX 1.6 nandroid is crap or not.

I am writing my first application and am trying to get my widget to load a different image when it is added to the home screen based on the state of the notification volume.It is detecting the notification state fine and the proper Toast messages appear when I add the widget, but I'm not getting any icon.I just get an empty button.I'm using the same code to change the icon in my onReceive() method to do other things and that works fine.Is this the proper way to accomplish that?

I'm looking for an app that sets specific actions (like changing ringtones, volume of notifications, e-mail notifies on/off) according to the SSID/availability of WiFi networks nearby. Pretty much like "locale" does for position, but tied to WiFi availability. The idea is that I can turn off e-mail alarms/notifies when I'm at home/work where I have a PC anyway (WiFi of home/work is detected) while automatically having them turned on when I leave the house (no wifi anymore).

I have created several files in a res/values/styles.xml file.
Here's one of them:
CODE:..............
I can apply the style to a single element in the xml by setting the style element like this:
CODE:.................
So, that works, and I notice that change. But what I really want to do is use the style above to apply to my entire application. I thought I'd be able to use this line:
this.getApplicationContext().setTheme(R.style.BlueOnWhite);
Before the super.onCreate of the first activity. But it doesn't work. Should it?

I am developing an Android App and would like to have a video file (mp4) bundled inside the .apk so that when the app is launched I can play a short intro video. Unfortunately I'm having trouble figuring out where in my project folder I should place this video file, and also how to access it (the path to the file).
I am using videoView.setVideoPath();

Is there anyway to bypass 'Unknown sources' setting without having the application actually downloadable in the market? Signing up for the market is fine but I do not want the application actually available via the market due to partner restrictions. However, installation should be smooth without requiring the user to allow installation of application from non-market applications.

can an application have more than one icon in the launcher? (No, not plotting any mischief). Was wondering how to do it if the application has only one activity.

Figured I'd ask one more odd question...
Is there a setting or app that would allow me to add a "gtalk" icon to a contact so that when I select a contact I would get the option to directly "talk/chat" with them via "Gtalk"?
Currently, when I select a contact I get the following icons:
"phone or call", "edit info", and "Instant Message"
I'd like to add to that list the "Gtalk" option.

I'm trying to have my home-screen application register itself as the default home-screen so the user is not prompted with the IntentResolver's list of all the available home-activities.
This is my code:
CODE:.................
I have the android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS set in the manifest. After executing the code above, the logs claim things have been added like expected (same logs as when I tick off "Make default" from IntentResolver's list). However, when I proceed by clicking home, the list still shows up and the logs say:
CODE:.....................
So it seems the resolver deletes the default entry. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a security measure? What are the ideas behind this?

I am submitting an application to the android developer challenge 2, but i would like to sell my application after the competition is over. In the terms and conditions google has mentioned that in case if i have to sell the application after the contest is over I have to set a timed expiry date.But while going through the steps for publishing the applications it is mentioned that the certificate validity limit should be a minimum of 22 October 2003."1.Your application must be signed with a cryptographic private key whose validity period ends after 22 October 2033. " Is it possible for me to set the expiration date as 120 days in the certificate? If not what is the best proccess that i should be following to set a timed expiry period?

So I've just published my first paid app to the Market and I used the new LVL with the default ServerManagedPolicy. On working through the docs and getting it set up I noted the references to the server response extras VT, GT, GR & UT, and the impression I got from quotes such as "a typical value would be 5 or more days.", "a typical value would be "10" or higher." etc., was that we would have some way of setting these server response values per app when we upload them to the Market. Either I'm missing something, or there does not seem to be a way to set these in the Developer Console that I can see? If we can't set these, it's not really a 'managed' policy at all, but a random 'whatever the server decides to respond with' policy, particularly given the vagueness of the documentation.
I really hate phone home licensing, and am only using it because it seems to be the only option to combat Android piracy. Ideally I want to just check once when the app is first launched, once a day or two later to check they didn't return it, then cache that for 6 months (forever?) to minimize disruption to my users. Is this kind of thing possible with the ServerManagedPolicy or do I have the wrong end of the stick about the 'management' features and have to roll my own? On a side note, if I can't buy my own app, how can I test my licensing is working in the wild? I got several 'NOT_LICENSED' responses in testing even when I set it to return 'LICENSED' in the console, so I'm not 100% convinced of its stability and want to actually see how well it works outside the testing environment, but apparently can't buy my own app to do so!

Can anyone advice if there is an application which forces android phone go internet over some proxy-server? I've noticed there are no such settings on G1, like you can no set it up manually in Network Settings. Maybe there is an app which creates routes same way you can do in WinXP or something?

Is there a way to change an application's icon without upgrading it? The idea is that there are two icons in the drawable folder, both with different names. At some point during the applications runtime, the icon will switch to a different one to alert the user that something occurred. I have looked into doing a widget, but that isn't exactly what I want, since I don't want to send a push notification.

When I fire up an emulator using Eclipse and have a look at live wallpapers, the two default wallpapers - Cube and Cube Resources - show as grayed-out icons that look like the image is missing.
The wallpaper I have written is exactly the same, the proper image doesn't show. Doesn't work on my phone either.
Howeever, if I go into manage services in the settings screen in the emulator, the proper icon is showing. Its showing as the service icon but not the application icon.
Ive got: <application android:label="@string/wallpapers" android:debuggable="true" android:icon="@drawable/foo">
with foo.pmg, foo.jpg in drawable all being accepted by the IDE but not showing as the application icon.
As I say, the default cube live wallpaper doesn't show its correct icon either - I downloaded the source and recompiled, same thing.
