Customizing Menu Button To Display Application Settings?
Nov 8, 2011I wanted to make the Menu button on my Android device open up my Application's settings and allow me to edit it when I am inside the Application.

View 1 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to customize the icon used for the More menu option (displayed when there are more than 6 menu options)? With the stock vanilla Android UI it appears as a disclosure-type arrow and on HTC Sense UI it's an ellipsis icon. Curious if these are fixed icons only defined in the Android resources or if there is a way to programmatically set them?

im supposed to go to the settings screen after pressing the menu button on the phone and pressing on the "Settings" option.but it isnt happening.
I have the Nexus 5 with 4.4.2 , I'm new with Android, my phone is rooted. I recently made the "buttons" disappear adding a line in the build.prop file and instaled LMT to have a pie,but the problem is that in Google Chrome,the Settings/Menu Button in the top right (the one with three little boxes) disappeared. How to make this button appear?

I click back on WiFi, it scans for the broadcasting SSIDs, and I click the "Add Network" button at the bottom again, and crash back to Settings Menu.
I just got this phone from my work for my work. They don't know anything about Android products, and my Google-Fu hasn't been strong enough.
I don't understand this. If I go to menu - applications, I have manage apps and running services. My running services only shows essential apps running. When I go into manage apps and click on the running tab, it shows a ton of non essential apps running that I have used. My confusion, and question is, which menu is correct? For example, facebook does not show under running services but it shows under the running tab in the manage apps menu. I force close it and it comes back on. Which one is correct?

Here's what I'm attempting to do. I have a menu and when a user selects a particular option in the menu I want the browser application to open and display the web page. However, I cannot seem to do this. My application uses a TabWidget to display its content (which works perefectly) but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open a link into the browser. I have tried adding a WebView to the TabWidget (but when I request it from the view by findViewById(...) I get a null.
I've also tried creating a separate view and performing a setContentView(...) and then I get an exception. I've also tried using an intent I've seen demonstrated on this group. It seems like this should be fairly easy, but I must be missing anything. I've looked at the sample apps as well as the Apps-for- android samples and have followed them to the T, yet still to no avail I cannot get the browser to open (or anything like that).
I have a Galaxy S2, more specifically the T-Mobile T989 model, which is known in my country as the Galaxy S2 Plus. It has Android 4.1 Jelly Bean installed and I wonder if I can change the quick settings? I want to add a quick setting to activate/deactivate mobile data since it doesn't appear, but it does in other Galaxy phones with the same Android version.

View 1 Replies View Relatedshould an Android application have an exit button (or menu function) or not? Ok, if there's some service or other resources consuming something running in the background I think the user should have an option to make it stop. But what about an application that would just sit there, inactive? If I take a look at the standard application it seems that the Android philosophy is to keep the applications running and let the system decide when to stop and destroy an application idling in the background. I didn't recognize "exit" or "quit" options in the standard programs. On the other hand - why not let the user decide and give the option to quit some software if he knows it's currently not used. So, what's the advice here? Give even a "passive" application an exit button? Or not and just leave it to the system?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy app requires a network connection so if they don't have one enabled I prompt them to start it. I do this by calling the Wireless & Network settings Activity as such:
CODE:...............
However, when I run my app in the debugger, onActivityResult is called immediately as my calling activity is exited when it should be called once the settings menu if exited. This premature call also sends a resultCode of Activity.RESULT_CANCEL.
Here is the code from onActivityResult:

I am dealing with a problem discussed on many forums but they all say go to the "settings" menu on the "Android SDK and AVD Manager" screen. Yet I have installed in on multiple machines and do not see a Settings menu. Where is the menu? I have it installed on Windows XP and Vista.

Is this possible without rooting?
My children (twin boys) have phones (samsung i5500) and I'd like to be able to remove access to the settings option, mainly to prevent them messing around with passwords which they often forget.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI suspect the order of the items under menu/settings is listed by frequency of use, as expected by HTC, or Google. Is there any way the order can be re-arranged? Perhaps alphabetized? Wouldn't it be easier to use this way? I think on an old phone I had you could long press and then re-arrange items like this. I could be all wet. This is not a major concern, and I really like my Hero.

Can someone tell me what the 'MIN' value is on the Droid X under the Menu -> Settings -> About -> Status? It appears to be a phone number but it isn't mine.
This is just under the 'My Phone Number' field (which does have the correct phone number) and just above the MEID.
Is there any way to make the settings menu icons display in color like on the incredible? Seems a shame to have a HD display but all the options are in black and white.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe Android settings menu is a list of options, each with some subtext (in the vanilla Google implementation; not in Sense UI) and an image (a down arrow in vanilla, custom icons in Sense UI). They are selectable and open a sub menu (Activity?) when clicked, like a button.
What is this widget? Is it available in the android.widget package somewhere? Is there a way to simulate it?
After using home++, when i hit the arrow to bring up all my apps, the only app that show is "settings" . i can get to my other apps that are shown on a home screen, but the ONLY app showing on the pull down screen is settings! i shut down, removed battery, and restarted twice, but still no luck.

I just got an Android running 2.3.5 and I really don't like the blue in the settings menus. Is there a way to get the colors back to gray scale? Also, is there a way to make all menus/submenus alphabetized? I don't know why they aren't.
