I would like to add a small app/widget button to my home screen that when pressed will dial my girlfriends number. I know you can use the contacts widget and add people to that, but I really only need it for my girlfriend and I don't want a huge screen hog like the contacts widget. Just one small icon would be great. Can it be done?

so 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 have a homescreen widget with an imagebutton. I have the button working with a pending intent, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the button image when it is pressed. I tried using a selector and it works in my widget test activity, but not in the remoteview. How could I implement this functionality in the home screen widget?

It was late at night and I couldn't sleep so I decided to listen to some music with the HTC headphones. Then I thought I heard something outside, so I pressed pause on the headphones and then I repeatedly pressed play, I am a really impatient person and the music stopped and the phone started calling someone. After some tests I found out that the phone calls the last person you called if you press play 5 times. Is it a bug? Couse i really dont like the feature and im sure people dont like being called at 3 in the night either.

Does anyone know how to tell when the headset button is being pressed? I'd like to support the usb headsets and possibly bluetooth headsets. My app is a media player and ideally, I could register it somewhere so that if no app that uses the headset button has focus it button press would act as a play/pause command in my app. If the phone is ringing or a call is in progress, I'd like to be sensitive to that and let the button do what it normally does: pickup and hang up calls. we've been trying to chase the button down using this: Intent Filter headset Filter = new Intent Filter (Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG); headset Filter.addAction ("android.intent.action.HEADSET_STATE_CHANGED"); headsetFilter.addAction("android.bluetooth.intent.HEADSET_STATE"); headset Filter.addAction ("android.bluetooth.intent.HEADSET_STATE_CHANGED"); headset Filter.addAction ("android.bluetooth.intent.action.MODE_CHANGED"); headsetFilter.addAction("android.intent.action.MODE_CHANGED");

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have an app widget that has a couple of buttons on it, and in my onUpdate() call, I am hooking up the buttons to do something when you press them
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName (), R.layout.appwidget); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button1, button1PendingIntent); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button2, button2PendingIntent);
The problem is that when I click on button2, it sends the button1 pending intent. i think that's because it's reusing the pending intent. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. "If the creating application later re-retrieves the same kind of PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action, data, categories, and components, and same flags), it will receive a PendingIntent representing the same token if that is still valid, and can thus call cancel() to remove it." So then the question is, how do I communicate which button was pressed?
I have an xml page with 3 buttons on all leading to similar xml files. However, the second and third buttons only respond if the first has been pressed (and then you go back a page and press another). If I reverse the order of the buttons in the java file, which ever button is listed first is the one that has to be used befor the others.
Here is my java for the buttons:
package converter.units.kitchen;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
[Code]....
the rest of the app has no errors and functions correctly.

In an activity, how do detect the fact that the user pressed the home button?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an activity that contains several user editable items (an EditText field, RatingBar, etc). I'd like to prompt the user if the back/home button is pressed and changes have been made that have not yet been saved. After reading through the android documentation, it seems like this piece of code should go in the onPause method. I've tried putting an AlertDialog in the onPause however the dialog gets shown and then immediately tears down because nothing is there to block the pause from completing.

Basically I have created a blackjack game (first using just java) and it falls under an infinite while loop (this is so that the deck data is kept and everything works well. So first it deals the cards and then it needs to wait for either the hit button (which is displayed) or the stand button (which is displayed) to be clicked. I initially did this with a while loop that would keep checking if buttons were hit (basically when a button was hit, a static int would change and stuff would occur). However this just causes the droid to freeze up (thus far anyway) and also not refresh. So please someone tell me there is some way I can have my method pause until a button is pressed? I also need to know the proper way to use invalidate() so that my textviews, pictureviews and such can be updated as the methods change them.
