What's the deal with the Flickr integration?I thought I would transition over from Photobucket because it looked like it might make it easier to access and share photos.So I find out that I need a YahooID to sign up for Flickr.Why not something with Google (Picasa)?

I have been uploading my photos to Flickr using the built in Flickr integration. However, I notice that the geocoding does not get set in my Flickr account. When I browse the photos on my phone's card, the goecoding is in tact. Is this a limitation of Flickr or my Hero?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have about 40 photos on my flickr account, many of which were uploaded from my Hero directly. That all works fine.
Unlike the viewing of the same photos through the Albums widget on the phone, which seems to fail to download them for viewing through the mobile data connection, even at H connection speed.....the download just seems to stall?
On 1.5 I used to get notifications all the time when someone uploaded new photos to flicker or changed their facebook account. Now I'm using the 2.1 leak v2 and I don't get any updates at all. What gives? I liked that feature. Any way to turn it back on?
And I do have the option set to update every 2 hours in the settings.
I picked up an Eris this weekend and I'm loving it! This is my first "smartphone" so I'm pretty pumped! I recently setup a link to my Flickr account and keep getting notifications everytime one of my contacts posts something to their account (can get overwhelming quickly). I tried looking for a way in-phone and on Flickr to disable the notifications but haven't found a solution so far. Anyone have an idea on how to disable/modify Flickr notifications?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFirst of all, I'm a very happy Eris user. I've had the phone since January and have just decided to "put up with" the fact the vibration is too weak. But its starting to get rediculous. I miss calls, texts and emails constantly with this phone! And just yesterday, my Boss actually made a comment to me about it (something like "you need to start answering you damn phone!"). I had a BB for 5 years leading up to my getting the Eris in January and rarely missed a call or message.
I have Smart Vibrate loaded and have programmed distinct patterns, but it's not helping. If somebody doesn't have a good idea or remedy for this, I might be forced to go back to BB.
I've read posts like this before and everybody just seems to deal with this, but please tell me somebody has a trick they can share
About the Eris. On version 2.1 does Beautiful Widgets (the app) show under "data" on your SD card? Should it? If it doesn't belong there should and I delete BW - will the clock/weather on the home screen still work? I expect the HTC / Android clock weather deal is a widget vs an app? Or is it an app and what is it called?'
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've got a lot of contacts that are synced with their Facebook profiles and I really like the integration with the phone, especially in the 'People' app.
But I'm confused about how the notifications work. I get periodic notifications about updates from certain people, but when I click this notification it takes me to the People app's group tab, but none of the people who were in the notification show up here as having updates. It's usually just different peoples' birthdays or updates.
I tried refreshing the list here, but it still doesn't pull up any new people usually.
Tons of pics here, submitted by Droid users... wow.. some are quite incredible! (If you are not familiar with Flickr, just click one of the pics, and it will take you to a gallery of pics submitted by that particular user...)

I am trying to develop a Android Google Map application, which is basically Gmap with my own marker geo layer. Since android.com is banned in China, I have to search support from Google user groups. I have no idea which groups I should call for help, android group or google map group. Anyway here is my questions:
I am working on Android SDk1.5. I want to reproduce the floating buttons presented in android Google map, which stands for three buttons: ZoomControl (left), FocusChange (middle), and ListControl (right). (Pls check ref1. ) I checked some open source projects, if designer can place these controls in the layout.xml with relative layout, to place them over (on the top of) the mapview. It may solve some problem, however in the SDK1.5' add-on gmap jar, the getZoomControl is discarded. I can only setBuiltInZoomControl(true) to enable the builtin zoomcontrol. By default, the "BuiltIn" Zoom Control is placed at Bottom/Center. (Pls check ref 2.) I have no idea how to relocate the "BuiltIn" Zoom Control to the left as native GMAP does.
So: How to relocate the BuiltIn Zoom Control ? How to add addtional custom control (buttons/overlays) with BuiltInZoomControl ? What functions should be overriden for the detail implementaiton, Such as synhcorization with the visibility? I am appreciated if the answer can be offered with code snippet or references to any internet site.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am learning how to program on Android phone. However I am unsure how to make my application work for the different screen sizes and resolutions.
I read the tutorial on the android site and still unsure how to do it.
First I know there are different files so could make a layout for each of the sizes but my problem is most of the screen needs to be dynamically created so there would not be much to put in these files.
So I am not sure how to android to re size dynamic controls based on the screen size.
I have also read it is bad practice to make controls in anything but the xml file as it separates view logic and programming logic. However they never talk about if you need to make these controls dynamically what you should do.
So is there some other way to do it that is considered good practice?

To your question: It's dynamic because
the buttons in my example grow and
shrink depending on one of the 3
possibles sizes, because they use
scaled pixel (You probably know that
you don't have to deal with screen
sizes itself). So a scaled pixel
compared to a real a pixel has a size
of 0.75px, 1.0px or 1.5px. Android
automatically and dynamically adjusts
it to the actual size. So you don't
have to care about this in your code.
So if I use scaled pixels then I don't have to worry about different screen sizes?
At the moment I don't know an example
except in games where you have to deal
with "real" pixel. But if you want use
it, multiply it with the value of the
current density. This is your "ratio".
I don't have the example with the ball
anymore but I have another which uses
the same technics. You can run it on
different screen sizes and you will
see that the buttons will always fit
into the layout. You could use the
same technics for your intents. In
this example you can scroll with the
"Scrn" buttons from one view to
another of 4 views. (At the moment
they all have a black background so
you don't see that they are different
views). The "Enter" button exits the
test. It's an Eclipse project. You can
download
So if I want to deal with ratio then I use real pixels and not scaled pixels? What advantage does this give me?
will scaled pixels work with changing from portrait to landscape( ie will it fill up the new found space)?
Finally should I make the controls now through code or is there another way? As I said I am getting data from a webservice that must look like this
checkbox label label
It can be one record or 10,000 records I don't know so these have to be appended to something that is like a window panel( the controls in there get a scroll bar).
No calDav support (and no, the free app Calendar syncing does not work with my company's iCal server) is a deal breaker for me, unless one of you guys can point me in the right direction, my iPhone 4 will have to come out of the drawer.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs I wait for my Droid X to arrive (in a few days) Im concerned about some banter I saw on another forum about Droid X integration with Facebook / Contacts' and that it was "bad"
I currently have HTC Hero and love how facebook and gmail contacts integrate. You can choose which contacts are linked and it doesnt merge FB people if i dont have them in GMAIL. Like the facebook photos populating the contact and access to FB albums and statuses for my gmail contacts. It works really well.
But this banter I heard on Droid X indicated the motorola ver of this social integration is not so ellegant. That it merges all facebook contacts and something about if you use backup manager it saves new contacts to the phone NOT to Gmail!
This concerns me as I love the elegance of all contacts being in GMAIL. Can someone with a droid x who perhaps came from HTC Sense explain how contact management with facebook is different? Is it "Bad"?
Is there a setting, as with voice calls, to have all SMS commands directed through Google Voice? I've canceled my Verizon texting plan and want to send all of my texts through Google Voice. Obviously I can do this by composing messages through the GV app, but I would like to click on a contact's page and have GV automatically open to send the text message. Much like Handcent opens when you select a contacts texting option, when you have Handcent installed. When I select the text message option from a contacts page (or press their contact picture and then select the text option), the Droid opens the standard text message application to send the text. Interestingly, if I go into the call log, select a recently called number and choose "send text message," it opens Google Voice to send the text message. How do I get the same functionality as above, so that selecting text message from a contact's page or shortcut uses Google Voice to send the message?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow to stop Flickr from running in the phone and how to bring it back after disabling the app? I installed Flickr on my Droid Rezound. I didnt know it was already on the phone. I installed the Google Play version on top of the already installed version on my phone. I tested it out and decided not to keep it. I uninstalled the Google version and found the app was still trying to upload photos. Did some searching in the phone and disabled the phone version. After that it still tries to upload the photos. I signed out of Yahoo and Flickr and it still tries to upload. It's not that I care if the pics upload, but when I've taken lots of pics the upload gobbles battery life.

They don't go away apparently when I remove the apk files but figured they had to be configured somewhere though it's probably compiled into the gallery app.
BTW: I know I can just uncheck the box in settings to show the tabs but I'd like to remove them completely.
If there is would you please let me know?
