I am taking a lot of pictures on my Desire, but having them names IGM1 IMG 2 etc isn't very helpful. Is there any way of changing some settings so the phone automatically names the pictures with the date instead?

I ask the above because I have put a couple of photo albums on my Desire and noticed that the first photo is the "oldest" photo. However, I have just renamed an album of 100 pictures into a specific numerical order and my Desire places them back into the order of "date picture taken" Does anyone know of a way I can get the pictures to be in the order of file name?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a simple task (simple in other platforms, not in Android :-( ): take a photo and return its pathname to the caller. I searched a lot the net and tried many variants to the code. I'm aware of the "thumbnail image" bug and am trying to bypass it. The following code works, but its somewhat dificult to get the photo: the guy has to go to the media picker, click menu button, select "camera capture", take the photo, click back, and finally select the photo from the list. The good thing: the photo returned is BIG.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PHOTO);
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) { case TAKE_PHOTO: if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
try { Uri uri = data.getData(); java.io.InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
java.io.FileOutputStream os = new java.io.FileOutputStream(targetPhotoName);
byte[] buf = new byte[4096]; int r; while ((r = is.read(buf)) > 0) os.write(buf,0,r);
is.close(); os.close(); Launcher4A.pictureTaken(0,null);
} catch (Exception e) { String stack = Log.getStackTraceString(e);
AndroidUtils.debug(stack); } break; }
I also saw a code that (in theory) would do exactly what I need:
sourcePhotoName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + java.io.File.separator + "tmpPhoto.jpg"; targetPhotoName = s;
Intent i = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new java.io.File(sourcePhotoName));
i.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri);
startActivityForResult(i, TAKE_PHOTO);
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{ switch (requestCode) { case TAKE_PHOTO: if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
try { java.io.InputStream is = new FileInputStream(sourcePhotoName);
java.io.FileOutputStream os = new java.io.FileOutputStream(targetPhotoName);
byte[] buf = new byte[4096]; int r; while ((r = is.read(buf)) > 0) os.write(buf,0,r);
is.close(); os.close(); } catch (Exception e) {
String stack = Log.getStackTraceString(e); AndroidUtils.debug(stack);
} break; } }
It works (almost) as expected: the camera application is shown, and after the photo is taken, the photo is returned to the application. However, it has two problems:
1. If I pass a folder inside my application's directory, when I press "done" button, the camera application does not return; it stays in the same screen until I press cancel. Seems that the camera application does not have permissions to write to my folder.
2. The image returned from this code is the Small Image (Thumbnail).
So, I now have a code that works and return a big image, but is somewhat burocratic to the guy to use (and also can lead to errors, if he selects the wrong picture), and a code that does what i want but returns a small picture. I'm using a HTC G2 with Android 1.6, and I have to use it because 1.6 is the requirement for my system. Ok, now the question: is there something I can do in code #2 to make it return the big picture?
You know when you call someone who doesn't have a photo linked to their contact it displays the green android guy. Well I really like what forum member sprint fun did with his avatar by making it into a OSU buckeye. I would much rather see that image rather then the green default android guy. Sprint fun has already said I could use the image, but I have no idea how or if its possible to set it as the default image for callers with no photo linked to their account.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that will allow me to view photos stored on my computer. I can access the computers on my home network from my Incredible using Astro or ES File Explorer "LAN" and open various file formats such as .pdf, .doc, .xls fine on my Droid; however, I am unable to open and view any type of image files (.jpg, .bmp, .gif, etc.) unless they are stored on my SD card or in the Droid memory itself.
When I try to open a image file stored outside the Droid, nothing appears on the Droid screen. I have installed several "image viewer" apps, such as Astro and 3D Gallery, none of which seem to be able to open remotely stored files. When I "click" on an image file, I see "Loading Image", but all that appears is a black screen with left and right arrow scroll buttons -- no pictures. Any advice, other than to copy and paste image files to my SD card, which then allows me to open and view them? I did get the 2.2 update.
I want to write a short app for getting some info from contacts, the first list screen I have should display the user Image (or an Image from resources if no such image exists) an the user display name. The problem is I don't seem to find a query that will provide me with the display name and a user id And the image URI in the same query. Moreover I'm aware of the fact that if the user has no image and the URI is empty or null i will most likely to get an exception while the adapter calls setViewImage(). Is there a simple way around it or should I override the setViewImage() or bindView() methods?
Also about the query, any chance I can make a single query for contact URI, _ID, contact_id and display name? my current queries: To get the contacts:
private Cursor getContacts() { Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] ContactsContract.Data._ID,ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME };
String selection = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " = ?";
String[] selectionArgs = {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE};
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC";
return managedQuery(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder); }
If I have a contact id and want the image:
int _id = m_cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID);
//try to retrieve the photo, if exists.
Uri photoUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
m_cursor.getLong(_id)); InputStream is = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(m_context.getContentResolver(), photoUri);
Here I get from a cursor with _ID column the id and then creating the uri, I know I can get a row number but I'm not familiar enough with contentProvider to know how to join tables to get it all in one query (if even possible).
I would like an html5 page that runs in Android 2.2 Browser that I can take a picture using the phone's built-in camera and save it to a sqlite database as a blob.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't figure out exactly why this fails. The application has android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions. I can create normal files with exactly the same name in the same location, but pipe creation fails. The pipe in question should be accessible from multiple applications. I suspect that noone can create pipes in /sdcard. Where would it be the best location to do so? What mode mast should I set (2nd parameter) Does application need any extra permissions?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI can create a new preferences file by calling Context.getSharedPreferences(String name, int mode), putting some values in the returned preferences' editor, and committing. However, I don't see an interface in the API to remove the created file when I no longer need it. I've tried Context.deleteFile(String name), passing in the same name argument from above, but that returns false, indicating the file wasn't actually deleted. I'm using MODE_PRIVATE, if that makes a difference. Browsing the source for context's implementation of the editor doesn't reveal any clues either, as far as I can tell. Any ideas? The background here is that I'm allowing my users to save copies of their "current" preferences so that they can restore previously saved settings. When they don't want those settings anymore, I want to remove the saved preferences file so it doesn't take up space. At the moment the best I can do is an edit().clear().commit on the file, which I believe will remove most of the contents. Not as good as delete, though.

Relatively new Desire owner here (nearly two weeks). I got the Desire as a replacement for my first Android phone, the Samsung i7500 Galaxy (grrrrrrr) as I complained about the ongoing issues with that handset (dialpad issues, lack of support from the manufacturer, etc).As it was a replacement during my contract they provided an as-new handset (refurb/return under O2s 14 day return period). Phone is def as-new, not a mark on it, screen protector, new battery and charger etc. However it came in a plain box, and so I don't know if it's an AMOLED or SLCD handset. Also, I have no idea when it was manufactured. Not an issue as I have a warranty, but it's a point of curiosity. Anyone know how I can find out both of these points?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my previous phones whenever an alarm is due to go off the next morning an alarm icon is shown on the desktop and when you view the keypad lock screen you get the same thing. This meant that last thing at night I could just press a key to get the lock screen and confirm my alarm was set to go off and at what time.
I can't seem to find a way to see this easily on my Desire.
On my lock screen I get an alarm icon to show that an alarm is set, along side the current time in the notifications bar along the top and then I simply have T-Mobile, Current Time, and the current date on the lock bar.
Now I have just disabled all my alarms except for one on Monday morning (this is Thursday as I type) and I still have the same icon in the notification bar and if i click on the HTC Sense clock widget I simply get told that there is an alarm on again coupled with the current date. This means that if i glance at my phone I can't immediately see that my morning alarm for Friday isn't actually set, I have to go into the alarm clock set screen to check.
I have read on another site that one of the changes in froyo was "Lock Screen - Instead of just the time of the next alarm time. It also shows which day."
Does this mean T-mobile have disabled that feature?
Does anyone else see the date of the next scheduled alarm on the lock screen?
I will have to look to see if there are any apps which can do this although I wonder if an app that messes with the lock screen will also affect battery life.
Now that I think about it I am not sure at what point my previous phones (Sony Ericsson k800i and C905) showed an alarm icon again. So if on Saturday night it showed no alarm for Sunday, but on Sunday morning 00:01 would it then display the icon for Monday? I can't remember ever having noticed one way or another.
On my Palm Treo 680, I was able to type a keyboard shortcut or macro to put in the current date and time in a string of text.On the Palm, I typed ".dts" and it returned a macro of "@@ds @@ts", which then returned the current date and time, using ShortCut5 in Prefs. Even on the PC, I use "zds" to return a similar date and time stream - this is using "autoworkers" - 28/6/2010 2:21 PM.Is there some sort of keyboard macro or auto text or shortcut method to do this with the HTC Desire ?(I will probably be asking a lot of "on the Palm Treo 680 I could, how do I on HTC Desire" questions, as I migrate to my new device. Please bear with me)

View 4 Replies View RelatedA few days ago my Desire flashed up a warning that in future I should unmount my SD card correctly to avoid losing date. I hadn't touched it or even connected the phone to the PC.
Two days later and I wake up to find my phone has gone flat overnight and turned off, when I turned it back on it warned me that my SD card is blank and displays a permanent SD card symbol with question mark at the top of the screen.
Apart from my photos/music/video clips etc, what else should be on the card? I've noticed voice navigation doesn't work any more, the turn-by-turn just chimes at me to tell me a junction is coming up, also I've lost all my bookmark screenshots. I'm guessing there is a load of software on there such as HTC Sync?
I was hoping to use one of the free data recovery programs to see if I can recover my stuff...but tried a Sandisk demo one and it said it couldn't find any files to recover.
Only other possibility is I have 'wavesecure' installed, but once I realised you had to pay for it I left it alone. Only the backup facility is available on the demo mode, will it have done this automatically meaning I could pay for the app and be able to restore the data, or do you have to instigate the backup manually?
I can't seem to figure out how to get the date beneath the time on the home screen displayed. Any ideas?

My friend just lost his Desire at an airport. The pattern lock is active, but that does nothing but protect the data on the phone - Not SD. The first thing they would do is to switch the phone off and replace the sim.
Now here is my question : Is there an app that will send an sms to a preallocated number if the phone is booted up with a different sim? I know some Samsung phones can do this. But having an app that requires your own sim to be able to find it if stolen is quite pointless.
When I try to send a photo by MMS the phone compresses the image to 8kb when it can send up to 300kb, obviously the image quality is rubbish then.
