Any widget that can be set to show the contents of a folder? Basically to save opening my file manager to access my frequently visited folder(s).
I have a folder with 16 shortcuts in it I would like to reorder with in the folder.
Say, change it from:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 0 a b
c d e f
to:
a b c d
e f 0 9
8 7 6 5
4 3 2 1
I've done a lot of searching and reading, but can't seem to find anything on this, except to delete the folder and then recreate it in the order I want, this is quite difficult for something that I should be able to just drag around in the folder.
Does anyone know a way to edit the contents of a Folder that you create as a widget on a Homescreen? I know you can edit the name by tapping and holding it but I want to delete some stuff i put in the folder. I tried locating the folder with Astro and could not find it on the phone memory or the storage card.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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 have been trying out new ROM's and it's been fun. Here is my biggest headache with doing this. I have about 10 contacts that are Direct Dial (speed dial to the rest of the world). What I do is put them in a folder as a shortcut to prevent accidental dialing. But I have to constantly redo this set up. Is there a way to save a folder and it's contents, such as direct dial numbers, to my sd card and bring it back with each new ROM or launcher? Starred folder doesn't work for me as it's more clicking when I am driving. The app Direct Dial still takes several clicks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a widget to show on the home screen(s). My problem is lets say I set my icon to 30x30 when I load the widget on the screen the Icon is the correct size but the layout itself takes up a lot more space than what is actually needed. This means that I can't really place my widget next to other icons on the screen. Its like the bounding box is 3 times bigger than the content that fills it.
Here is my XML
[CODE]
I have tried wrap_content and other width/height settings but nothing seems to reduce the "Box" around my widget content. I clicked on my ATK widget and started to drag it around on my HTC Aria and it shows the bounding box around the widget and that one is the same size of the content inside same with all the other widgets on my screens.
Does anyone know of a widget that will display the contents of the inbox on the home screen? So that, without opening gmail I can glance at the phone and see the 3-5 most recent messages, sender and subject? I have looked all over the market and can't find anything like this.
View 4 Replies View Relatedso I am using Nova launcher and minimalistic text widget and I am making a theme where there are big blocks of clickable text. One of the things I would like to do is to open a app folder when i click on one of the text blocks. I was thinking I could just make a transparent widget or something above minimalistic text widget because it does not look like there is a way to do that with the app. Is there a way to resize folders with nova launcher? am I better off just using something like Simi folder and setting a big name for the folder and no icon or something?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI followed the tutorial off code.google.com to add widgets to your app. For some reason, when I run the app on the phone for testing, then long click the home screen to add widgets, my widget is not an option. I imagine I am doing something wrong, but I thought I followed the tutorial pretty well. Here is some of my code, please offer a suggestion of why I can't add my widget. BTW i don't care that it doesn't do anything yet, or even if it breaks, I just want to see it as an option first (small steps). Thanks for any help or feedback.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm hoping someone on this forum can help me with 3 unfortunate issues I've been noticing since I rooted last night. I rooted 2.2 on my Droid X and backed up everything with Titanium backup. I removed a bunch of bloatware but I made sure that everything I renamed from .apk to .bak was "safe to remove" based on messages I read on multiple forums. I am also running Launcher Pro Plus. Here are the issues I'm seeing. Every time I power down the phone and then turn it back on, I'm seeing the following issues:
1) WidgetLocker - the Alarm Clock v2 tiny clock icon that I have on my lock screen disappears. Also, the Switch Pro Widget (Size 4) that I have on my lock screen also disappears. I can put them back no problem but as soon as I power down and turn the phone back on, they're gone again.
2) Folder Organizer - I have several shortcuts on my home screen with custom icons. For example, I have a shortcut with an icon that looks like a pair of headphones. Tapping on this icon opens the Folder Organizer shortcut to reveal my music player, Pandora, FM Radio, etc. Every time I power down the phone and then turn it back on, all of the icons revert back to the default Folder Organizer icon.
3) Anytime I plug in my phone via USB to my computer, Folder Organizer and Widget Locker fail with a force close. This happens regardless of whether or not I have USB debugging checked or what mode it's on (PC Mode, USB, etc). I tried reverting a few items from .bak back to .apk but it didn't fix either of these issues. Anyone have any ideas? I would GREATLY appreciate it, thanks so much!

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor a widget I am creating for the Android OS, I want the user to first select a certain option from a Spinner. Just like when you add a shortcut to the homescreen.
Is that possible or do you have to start an Activity? If it is possible, can anyone explain how to do it?
Is there a simple 1x1 or 1x2 widget that shows free memory? Not storage memory, but running memory. Like after you run an Auto Killer (like Apollo, or ATK) it shows you how much RAM you now have free. I'd like a widget to display this information on the home screen? All I can seem to find is program storage memory, or SD memory storage, not RAM.

I am rooted and have successfully copied .ogg .wav or .mp3 ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones, notifications or alarms folders. I can even play them from those folders on press.
My hassle is I am not able to select these as my tones. They don't show up in the menus. I want them in the root because if I am connected to my pc and an email/text/call comes in that is assigned a Custom tone on sd, then my tones revert back to a default tone and I have to reset them all when i disconnect from pc
Had no problem getting my phone to play nice with our exchange server at work and emails are coming/going fine.
However, there are some configuration items I have a big issue with as it relates to the 'look' of the email (coming from a BlackBerry).
1. Is there any way to have a single folder show my received items and sent items combined? My BB had this and it was very useful.
2. How can I edit the way my folders are displayed at the top horizontal bar? The sidescrolling folder display is awkward, it puts my inbox first (good) but then all subsequent folders are listed alphabetically; it pays no attention to their order on my desktop and also shows sub-folders of other files. Any way to change this?
3. Is there a way to change the way emails show as unread? The difference b/n read and unread is only a shade of grey, and difficult to see outside.
I have the Chrome bookmarks widget on my homescreen, and the first spot is taken up by the "Mobile Bookmarks" folder (see screenshot). This is really annoying. When I first started using the widget, this was not the case, after a while it just appeared there.
Anyway to avoid this? Maybe even a way to change the order of the bookmarks?
If not, is there any way to remove the "Mobile bookmarks", "Desktop bookmarks" and "Other bookmarks" folders in Chrome so I could just have my bookmarks in one place?
I'm on a Sony Xperia Z1, Android 4.3, not rooted.
I am receiving the battery and SD card to go along with the HTC Droid Incredible 2 I got today. He said to hook up my phone to the computer (not sure which setting to choose, PC Mode, etc) and then copy the SD card stuff to the computer. Then I'm supposed to transfer that to the new 16gb card I'm getting.
