Is it possible to show a list of applications (with intent.createChooser) that only show me my twitter apps on my phone (so htc peep (htc hero) or twitdroid). I have tried it with intent.settype("application/twitter") but it doesnt find any apps for twitter and only shows my mail apps.

When ever we need to send an email in Android we will invoke registered email application using Intent.ACTION_SEND. like the below
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
My doubt is why do we need to use Intent.createChooser in startActivity rather than using
startActivty(i).
Is there any specific reason of using Intent.createChooser()?
I want to provide an easy way for my users to follow my app's Twitter account.Is this possible using the Intents system?
View 8 Replies View Relatedthis message is mainly for all dev that already done a FaceBook or Twitter client. i would like to know if they can create/manage a capability for their APK to define a possibility with intent (or any other mechanism) to manage/take care of any message to update Profile on Twitter and FaceBook? just in case, because i think it's not useful to create many client, if your application (like mine) just need to send/update a facebook profile to resume: i'm little lazy :-) and i would like to use other APK to update Twitter/faceBook profile/status do you think it's possible? can you after that put a code example in openIntents.org? or do i need to create a ugly client for facebook and twitter only to provide a mechanism to update those information by external APK? let me know if my idea is good enought or not ps: i can be great if mechanism is invisible (no UI or else) but as you want
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a user's twitter handle. Right now I'm opening it through a web page like:
String url = "http://www.twitter.com/" + "example_handle";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);
If the user has the Twitter android app installed, is there a different intent I can use which gives the user the option to view that user's twitter feed in the Twitter app, instead of forcing them directly to a browser? I'm not sure if the author's of the Twitter app have exposed any such intent.
In my Android application, I have two activity classes. I have a button on the first one and I want to show the second when it is clicked, but I get an error.

I have found this erroneous behaviour on my phone, please let me know if you have any idea how to resolve it. However, when I open this intent, the gps on the device starts and google maps first displays my location instead of the location in the URI. This happens only the first time you open google maps. If I go back to my app and make the same selection, then the correct position on the map appears.I tried using something like this: geo:0,0?q=*business+near+city, however this doesnt centers the map on a position, but in the nearest address.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have looked at the intent-filter documentation and I can't figure out this specific intent-filter. I'm looking to use ACTION_SEND because I only want the app to show up in "Share" menus in other apps. I only want to show up in the share menu if the text of the intent is a url. For example, what is shared from the Android Browser's share menu. I don't want the app to appear in the share menu if it's just text and not a url.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a code that will prompt user to send a message by selecting the desired application, how can I detect if the user actually have chose from the options or instead pressed Back? I tried to check if the intent returned something, but is running asyncronous so cannot be tracked. Also I have tried to run the intent with startActivityForResult, what I noticed in onActivityResult that resultCode is always 0(RESULT_CANCELED) even if user selected, or not from the chooser.

I'm looking into getting my application to show up when the user tries to 'share' a picture via the Gallery application I can't, however, find any information about how exactly to go about this. I get that I need to declare an intent filter for the SHARE action, what I can't seem to find is how the Gallery wants to send out the selected image. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/11/integrating-applicatio... documentation is key indeed.

The main application currently needs to know what Intents to use to START these sub-applications, but is there a way to use intents to see if other Activities on the device match a set of intent-filters?

I'm looking for an intent filter for when you are at the contact list and you long press a contact so a the menu comes up
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently had my DI replaced due to a tech issue, but before I switched over I backed up everything using "My Backup Pro".
When it backed up my contacts, it backed up EVERYONE - including 550+ people I follow in Twitter. I did not have these as visible in my People (phonebook) list, just in Twitter. When I synced with my new DI, My Backup Pro installed every contact to my People list, as the app must have thought it was all part of my phonebook. I tried to make the list invisible like I had it on my original phone, but that did not work, so I deleted each Twitter contact manually from my People list. They no longer show in my People list (though are available to be made visible from Twitter).
This did not solve the problem. Any app that accesses my contact list (even Search People) displays the FULL list which includes my Twitter contacts. There is no long-press or menu options available to hide them.
I am willing to clear my contacts and upload the list again, as they are all backed up to my Google account, but I am afraid it would sync with the server and delete what is saved there.
Any advice on how to clear my contact list of my Twitter followers, or start over with my Google-saved contacts?

I'd like to create a very simple android activity that takes a file path on the sd card and displays the contents of that directory in a listview.

I have a piece of code that creates some APNs with this call: -- getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://telephony/carriers"), apnData); The APNs are correctly created both on fw 1.1 and 1.5 (a query correctly returns them) but on fw 1.5 they don't show up in the device APN settings screen.
Has anyone any hints on the reasons of this behavior?
I'm creating an Android app, where the user starts out seeing a list of questions. When the user clicks a question, I would like to show him a new clickable list, containing that question and its answer alternatives.
My questions reside in rows in the database. The questions live in the first column, while the answer alternatives live in the following columns.
I've managed to display any single element from the row when I click a question in the list, but how to display more than one completely eludes me.
This is the relevant source code in the intent entered when the user clicks a question:
private void fillData() {
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
Long id = extras != null ? extras.getLong(QuestionsDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID) : null;
Cursor questionsCursor = mDbHelper.fetchQuestion(id);
startManagingCursor(questionsCursor);
String[] from = new String[]{mDbHelper.KEY_QUESTION,
mDbHelper.KEY_ALT1,mDbHelper.KEY_ALT2};
int[] to = new int[]{R.id.text1};
SimpleCursorAdapter questions =
new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.questions_one_row,
questionsCursor, from,to);
setListAdapter(questions);}
This displays only the question. If I put one of the answer alternatives first in the 'String[] from ...' statement, that gets displayed instead.
I just installed Handcent on my Droid and am having two problems. I checked the settings and can't figure out why these things aren't working properly.
1. The pictures from my contact list do not show up next to the texts. Every one of my contacts has a silhouette and question mark in place of the picture - which shows up fine in the default messaging app.
2. When a new text comes in, the new text notification pops up on the taskbar. I do not receive a handcent notification icon, and if I open the text with Handcent, the default message notification does not disappear.
Here is code of Notepad Tutorial . It only display title in the list. I want to display two or more fields of DB to the list.code...
