Few weeks ago, I got my HTC Desire, an unlock phone. And also change my cell phone plan to T-Mobile Talk+Text (Unlimited Text), without the Data service, but I want to be able to use MSN while I don't have Wi-Fi.So, is there any app on market that uses SMS, but not uses Data services?And, what is the setting for network and MMS??

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently trying to make an app using HTMLParser.I developed the whole app in Eclipse and everything seemed to be fine until I tried it on the emulator.It seems that one of the class included into the provided jar file (htmlparser.jar) is not found and thus rise a fatal exception.I tryed to add this library on my build path (on the library tab, before Android 1.5) but it didnt't work. I also tried to make a lib directory with this jar file inside, but with no more success.Every time I try to generate an APK file, the jar file is not included.

Is there going to be a version of Firefox/Opera for Droid?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI found a good deal for a HTC Droid Eris online from a website, the location was perfect as it was right near where i reside. After setting up an appointment to meet and looking at the phone i found that the phone wasn't 'brand new' but had been used, the owner claims that she bought it from another person who claims that it had not been activated at all. I tried to activate the phone and couldnt because the phone had already been activated on Verizon's Network. She said that she was going to take the phone in in the morning and see what they could do about it. So she is going to give me a call tomorrow (i guess its today now that it is past midnight).So my question is if she calls me back tomorrow and says that Verizon has taken care of the problem and i can now activate it with my phone # do i go ahead and buy it from her? Is there anything i should be worried or be informed about? Help me out fellow Android users! I dont want to buy the phone and activate it and get screwed over somehow because i wasn't knowledgable to a certain extent, as you can tell i dont have much experience with phones as far as activation/ESN/plans/etc whatnot go.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at building a game for Android and I've looked around for any sort of insight into how to approach it.I've run across a few game engines for the platform and I'm wondering if any of you have had experience in using them.I worry about spending a lot of time building an app that relies heavily on a game engine, that maybe is abandoned at some point or becomes incompatible with future versions of Android. However, some of the "out of the box" functionality appears to be nice to have.Just curious to hear if any of you have looked into this at all.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an app and I want to integrate the Last.fm app into it. Basically, when someone is looking at an artist in my app, I would like to have a button that they can tap to open up Last.fm application with the artist's information.
This intent works, but it loads a menu asking which app I would like to use (Browser or Last.fm):
CODE:..........
However, I just want to start the Last.fm app and skip the dialog asking which app to use, I thought maybe using the setPackage() method would work like this: i.setPackage("fm.last.android");
But it causes the app to crash:

Is it possible to just start the Last.fm app?
Here's a copy of Last.fm's AndroidManifest.xml for reference.
I have a couple of third party classes which serve as a library I can build my application upon. They are contained in a folder which was added Java Build Path -> Libraries (in Eclipse) with "Add Class Folder". It works fine so far an my app compiles. But the produced .apk contains only my classes and therefore the application does not run. How can I tell Eclipse to package the third party classes into the .apk as well?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout a week ago when I booted my phone everything forced closed while the desktop loaded up (phone, gps, settings, etc...) and nothing worked except third party apps (thank god.) Well I rebooted and everything worked fine after that... Fast forward to today and it started happening again except this time no matter what I did nothing would work. I even dropped the phone off with a Sprint service center (my device is a Sprint Hero) and they just ordered me a new phone because nothing they did worked. After I left Sprint I went out to eat and while eating I kept messing with my phone more and more until I admitted defeat and started backing up all my apps with Astro . Welllll apparently somewhere along the way I got this effing awesome idea to uninstall via Astro all the applications I've downloaded in the last week and freaking bam; phone works again. Here's a list of applications I deleted and I've starred the ones.

The starred ones raise more flags as I downloaded them before any of the others but not knowing which did this I figured I'd put all that I uninstalled to fix my phone.
One nice thing with the Evo is the always there cursor keys. I like some of the alternative keyboards but they all require toggling the ABC/123 key to get to cursor keys and then you have to go back to the keyboard to continue typing. It's quite annoying, and no matter how convenient they are (better key spacing, swype and what not), I just keep going back to stock for that convenience.
With the Evo being the first 4.3" screen, there is plenty of real estate to throw cursor keys in there with the keyboard as shown. I'd gladly pay for swype, better keyboard or keyboard pro (think that's the main ones), if they were able to do this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install a 3rd party free app through code. I initially download the apk from the web-site (androidfreeware.org), store it on a SD Card.

Then when the user clicks on the Install, I use this code to install it on the SD card.

I read somewhere that in order to install 3rd party apps we need to set the value of INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS to 1. Do we need to set any permission in the manifest file. Also, when I checked logcat I got the following error

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an activity which other 3rd parties want to use in their own apps, via intents.code...
While this would work, this probably won't give them the desired effect of jumping directly to my activity from theirs - the android chooser dialog will appear, asking if they want to open the intent data with the browser, or my app.
How can I let 3rd parties call my activity directly without broadcasting the intent like this? I'd like to make them still pass the same exact data scheme to me, but just let them open my activity directly.
I am working on the Android builtin Contact app. It can be build with "make Contact" in the repo. Now, I want to use a 3rd party jar, and how to package the jar into Contact.apk?

Last time I checked if you set your default browser to say Dolphin Browser it caused some issues with updates of apps and the market. Does anyone know if this has been addressed or if setting your default browser to a 3rd party still creates update issues with other applications?
