General :: APK Installs As Zip File When Downloaded From Android Market
Mar 7, 2012
I have created a Black and Pink Glass theme for Go launcher that installs and loads fine. When I upload the theme to the android market and then its downloaded from the market and installed it installs as a .zip file instead of an .apk file. I have several other themes that are working fine. I have tried rebuilding it from scratch and the issue is still there. I have attached the android manifest.xml for reference.

I bought an android 2.3.6 phone which no one has tried to root( it seems). So I was wondering if I could root it by creating an update.zip file containing the su binary and the superuser apk and then installing it in the recovery mode. Will this work? I have failed with gingerbreak, unlockroot and z4root.

I've downloaded several android apps and when extracted the file is an .exe (windows) file instead. This is more common than I like. I download my apps from my usenetserver. What, if anything, can I do with these .exe files to get them installed on my android device?

I can purchase music in the new Market tab, but even when it shows up as purchased I can't find it in PowerAMP. I don't want to use Google's music app because it's sorely lacking in comparison, and I'm really hoping it's not downloading to the "cloud" or whatever because I want it on my phone. I also don't want to have to sync my music every single time I buy something, or have music syncing on all the time because that would drain my battery faster.
I would think it would work like an app - you buy, it downloads. That seems logical. But it doesn't seem to be working like that.

Ok, there is literally no way that I'm the only one who has asked this question but I can't find the answer by searching. Here's my problem, after I flash my rom and restart my phone the market begins auto-downloading all the apps I previously had installed. I do not want this bc I use titanium backup for all of that.
I know I can avoid it temporarily if I skip entering my email address, but there has to be a setting for me to un check that will make it not try to auto download anything once I do add my account.
I'm sure you guys have all run into this by now, so can someone please tell me what setting will resolve this issue?

Is there a way for an application to know whether it has been downloaded from Market? I'm thinking of distributing an application through Android Market as well as through a private web site, that contains both a free basic version and a paid Pro version. For simplicity of maintenance, I would like to distribute the exactly same apk both through Market and on my web site. After the user has downloaded the free basic application, and they want to upgrade to the Pro version, they should be presented one of the following: A) Present a link to Market to pay for and download a license apk to unlock Pro features. - or - B) Present a link to our homepage to purchase a license key to unlock Pro features. If the free basic application had been downloaded from Market, the user should be presented option A, otherwise they should be presented option B. Does anyone see a way how to achieve this?

Is there a way to update apps that weren't directly downloaded from the Market?A friend gave me the Weather channel app without the ads. He gave me the .apk installer file.Now that I have the Weather channel app that I didnt get from the store, therefore not in "My Downloads" section of the market, how do I update it?There must be a simple fix, but i could seem to track it down on the forums.

Does anyone know if there's a way to retrieve a list of apps currently installed on the phone?Perhaps through an Android service, or system content provider?And once this list is retrieved, is there a way to filter down the list to only apps that have been downloaded via the market? I suppose another way to phrase that last question is:Can my app access the Downloads list that's in the Android Market app?

I have an Android library that uploads data to a test server and production server. I'd like developers using this library to use the test server when developing, and production server when the app is downloaded from Android Market.
Is this possible for an app to tell where it came from (Market or non-Market?) I would imagine one could detect the presence of the signed JAR file.

Is anyone else having problems with the Market after installing or updating an app? Twice now it has FCed after I updated an app. And worse, the second time, when I went back to the Market to review my downloaded apps, it only lists Gmail and Photobucket. None of the other 15 or so apps I've downloaded are listed!

I've done 30 minutes of searching on the site, read a bunch of threads about file management, SMS/handcent and I still don't have an answer to this: Where in god's name is handcent storing files that were sent via SMS?
I clicked "download" in handcent and received confirmation that the image downloaded. Already have a file manager installed, have browsed pretty much every directory on the phone and the sd card looking for the file, to no avail.

I have an application that will record and play audio files. Some of the audio files are downloaded using simple standard http downloads using httpclient. It worked like a charm for a long time. Now all of a sudden I cannot play the files I download. It fails with this stack. I store the files on the SD Card and I experience the problem both on a handset and a USB connected device. I have checked that the downloaded file is cool on the server, and I can play it without any issues. These are the code snippets I use ( I know that recordingFile is a valid path for the file).
// inside the activity class
private void playRecording() throws IOException{
File recordingFile = new File(recordingFileName);
FileInputStream recordingInputStream = new FileInputStream(recordingFile);
audioMediaPlayer.playAudio(recordingInputStream);
}
Here is the media player code:
// inside my media player class which handles the recordings
public void playAudio(FileInputStream audioInputStream) throws IOException {
mediaPlayer.reset();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(audioInputStream.getFD());
mediaPlayer.prepare(); mediaPlayer.start();
}
Here is the exception:
E/MediaPlayerService( 555): offset error
E/MediaPlayer( 786): Unable to to create media player
W/System.err( 786): java.io.IOException: setDataSourceFD failed.: status=0x80000000
W/System.err( 786): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(Native Method)
W/System.err( 786): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(MediaPlayer.java:632)
W/System.err( 786): at net.xxx.xxx.AudioMediaPlayer.playAudio(AudioMediaPlayer.java:69)
W/System.err( 786): at net.xxx.xxx.Downloads.playRecording(Downloads.java:299)
W/System.err( 786): at net.xxx.xxx.Downloads.access$0(Downloads.java:294)
W/System.err( 786): at net.xxx.xxx.Downloads$1.onClick(Downloads.java:135)
I have tried seeking some answer of the offset error, but not really clear what this issue might be. I download the file with this code:
public FileOutputStream executeHttpGet(FileOutputStream fileOutputStream) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{
try { // Execute HTTP Post Request
httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
int status = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
// we assume that the response body contains the error message
if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
ByteArrayOutputStream ostream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
httpResponse.getEntity().writeTo(ostream); fileOutputStream = null;
} else { InputStream content = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; int len = 0;
while ( (len = content.read(buffer)) > 0 ) {
fileOutputStream.write(buffer,0, len);
} fileOutputStream.close();
content.close(); // this will also close the connection }
} catch (ClientProtocolException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace();
fileOutputStream = null; } catch (IOException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e2.printStackTrace();
fileOutputStream = null;
} return fileOutputStream;
}

I am interested in forward locking a downloaded file (an image, or a ringtone, etc). Is there any way to do this? As far as I can tell packages can be forward locked, but their resources remain public, is there a way to forward lock a specific file I've downloaded to the Android?

I'm referring to the "Downloads" tab in the Market app.
I've been noticing of late that it isn't listing the apps that I have been downloaded thus far. It displays one/two/three items that 've been downloaded (no specific time line, either). Furthermore, sometimes, it also tends to display an app which has already been removed.

I downloaded some apps from Market. They all downloaded successfully but I cannot see them when i go to Menu and then click on the 'App' Icon. When i click on the 'App' Icon it says 'To add widgets open the vodafone shop and download your widgets' I already have the apps installed on the phone for sure, just need the shortcuts to appear under the 'App' button.

My internal memory is almost full (no surprise) so I was hoping for a way to move my downloaded market apps to the SD card. I was told to try AppMonster, which has an option to Backup to SD. I do this and it says it's successful but my internal memory isn't going down. Does this just copy the files there as opposed to move them there? If so, is the another way/app to move the files?

Today i have been having some fun today downloading and yes buying (!) apps from the mkt. well, i started getting a little instability - i couldn't get an IP from my wireless router --- i had d/l "wifi keep alive" and "wifi reconnect" and "wifi reassociation". so i went to the mkt intending to uninstall one by one until i restored my ability to DHCP to the router. selecting the "downloads" section of the mkt revealed only about two pages worth of apps. believe me - i have a LOT more apps than that! mostly all the apps that appear are purchased apps (one exception - gmail is there too) - but even then, not "all" of my purchased apps are there! in doing my due dilligence checking to see if anyone else had this problem and solved it, i found this thread and this thread - neither of which have anything to say to help me. ANY idea how to get my apps to show up in the mkt? the apps themselves ARE STILL ON MY hero, they just don't appear in the mkt)
