May 5, 2010Has anyone used Locale on their DI yet? Just curious how well it works & if it's worth spending $10 on an app.

View 10 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is a plugin for locale that will turn on bluetooth when I turn on my bt headset?
I thought it was already in it but I either have to leave BT on or manually turn it on. I know I can keep the BT on reguardles but my battery needs to be charged midday and I am trying to turn as much off as possible.
Just read an article on Locale and they said it is a must have. It allows you to automatically connect to WiFi while at home or work to supposedly save battery. It also can auto silent/vibrate your phone depending on where you are or who is calling. Among lots of other options. Now I am wondering if it actually saves battery or uses more because it is always running and changing stuff.

For example, your "At School" situation notices when your location condition is "77 Massachusetts Ave.," and changes your ringer volume setting to vibrate.
With Locale's advanced touch-screen interface, you'll be set up in no time. Quickly define locations that are important to you using a simple Google Maps interface.
If you think this is exactly what you are looking for, you can download it in the market
I've put in a request to add 4G support in Locale, the very popular app that lets you switch settings for certain conditions.
Lets get this thing approved by casting your vote on the feedback forum. Click this and cast your vote! Even if you don't use locale or are in a 4G city. (I am , Lubbock Tx)
Does anyone know how to get current locale in program?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy users can change the Locale within the app (they may want to keep their phone settings in English but read the content of my app in French, Dutch or any other language ...)
Why is this working perfectly fine in 1.5/1.6 but NOT in 2.0 anymore?
CODE:..........
The problem is that the MENU "shrinks" more and more everytime the user is going through the lines of code above ...
This is the Menu that gets shrunk:

What should I do in API Level 5 to make this work again ?
HERE IS THE FULL CODE IF YOU WANT TO TEST THIS :

AND HERE IS THE MANIFEST :
CODE:..........
THIS IS WHAT I FOUND :
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" />
=> IT WORKS JUST FINE ...
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
=> Menu shrinks every time you change the locale!
As I want to keep my application accessible for users on 1.5.
As you can assume, its not working for me, not at all. My status in notifications says No active situations--Locale is monitoring your conditions. I have set a situation for work for home and even a 'test' situation. I added then deleted the defaults, I have added and deleted the locations, made sure I let the app 'find' each location, and even tried going by time alone, and it STILL won't come on. my gps is on, all locations setting are on, but that doesnt explain why it would not work by time setting. I have tried turning each situation off and on and re-adjusting the order of priority. I don't know what I am missing.
I was totally mortified today in a meeting at work, with four Korean engineers from Samsung, when my ringer (which I should have doubled checked anyway) does not go to vibrate, or even to my work ringtone as the 'situation' was set for both to occur, but instead starts blasting, at full volume, the theme from Team America World Police. I managed to silence it halfway through the first verse, but that was bad enough.
So there is Locale for all other countries/languages where apps are available but I can't set Locale for Spain/Spanish?
See Locale list: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html
How can I get Locale.SPANISH so that I can set my app to spanish? res/ values-es
How can I find or create a Locale.SPANISH?
Does that just make too much sense to hope for? I'd love for my home screens to automatically change for qork, travel, weekends, nights, etc.

Locale for Android
The website states that it can be downloaded over at Android Market but I can't find it anywhere.
lets say my device language is English and I downloaded an app that has two languages English and French the default language for the app will be English because its the language of my device. is there a way to view the app in French without changing my device language. Only the app.

View 10 Replies View RelatedSo I'm trying to figure out how I can get English (United States) set up on my new Hero. I've looked through the Locale Text settings and found a few English settings, but they were all for Poland or Czech or wherever, no US. With my current setting, it connects me to UK versions of sites, and apps like ShopSavvy returns products in Pounds. I want USD please.Does anyone have a solution for this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am writing a service in which I want to have an observer kind of thing for the phone Locale, which lets me know if any one has changed the Locale through Settings->Language & keyboard. Is there a way to do this?
I'm using PackageManager.getApplicationLabel(ApplicationInfo) to retrieve application labels. It looks like the label that is returned depends on the Locale set for the phone. For instance with the music app I get "Music" in English, vs. "Musica" if I have my locale set to Spanish. Is there a way to get the default application label (perhaps as defined in strings.xml)? I want to be able to retrieve an application label for each app that is independent of locale.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've already read the issues with Locale, and that's sad, because I love the concept of the app. Even before I bought a smartphone and knew about Locale, I wished the existence of such a thing would exist. Hence my excitement when I got it was off the charts, but now, not so much. The situations aren't enabling and it's the same 'ole story of "Defaults" dicking everything up.
Can someone please make a Locale that works? (rhetorical question...).
Anyways, another frustration I've come across is that my Wi-Fi keeps turning on. Does anyone know what setting is causing this? I'm about to do a hard reset again and just say screw it.
I have different text packaged into my app for different locale. The Resource.getString(int resid) method automatically returns me the string for the CURRENT locale of the phone. Is there a way I can specifically obtain resources while passing in a locale? For example, there isn't such method as: Resource.getString(int resId, Locale myLocale);

View 6 Replies View RelatedChanging the locale for a device is done in the settings, and can't be done by an app AFAIK.I know how to force my own app to a specific locale,So now to my question. Can I force, programatically, the local of an activity that isn't mine?I can imagine 2 ways this could be possible:Specifying the locale in an Intent used to start the activity.
Access and manipulate the configuration of running activities (in the same way as I can modify my own activities' configurations).Any thoughts? Is it possible? Is it reasonable?
I guess 2. would be more direct, but require some kind of permission (e.g. the modified atcitiy must allow it in the manifest file). But I'd settle for 1. or similar.
What I want is to be able to see certain apps in a different language, but rather not change the system locale. E.g. the Android Market, that only displays comments in one language. Can't think of other things right now.Can't find much written on Locale in the documentation, what is and isn't possible. But hoping some undocumented feature might enable this :)
I need an app which get GPS coordinates of the device(if GPS is disabled - get last known location coordinates) and also get the language of the device(Locale).
When I start the app, it will appear a button with link to website. Clicking that button will open the default browser and go to website(set by me). That website will use the GPS coordinates(Long/Lat) and language of the device to show information on that language and somethings near this coordinates.
I want to add language to the language list from the settings, Not by apps like "Morelocale2". A way to edit the list of the default language list.
I've seen a guide saying I should disable the files Customization Setup or Customization Setup Provider which probably are not updated to the full list, But sadly the guide was old (probably for 4.0 ICS) and these files are not exciting in my device (4.2.2), perhaps they are named differently..
Ok im now using huawei u8120 and I have installed modificated 2.1 android (yes i can install 2.3.7 cm7 but its slow) and i wanna ask how can i add more languages (locale)in to 2.1 android like lithuania locale ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that will allow me to set up different profiles for phone settings that can be switched easily by choosing a "profile" from a list.I DON'T want Locale. i want to be able to do this by choosing from a list, NOT based on my location.For example, a user could set up a Power Saver profile, a Power User profile, an Online Profile, etc. Each of these profiles should be customizable. For example, I should be able to customize the "Power Saver" profile to the power settings I want (ie. Screen brightness, WiFi off, Bluetooth Off, Syncing Off, etc).Is there anything like this? Ideally I'm hoping for something that has a free version, as I am in Canada and we can't get paid apps yet.For the record, I am using Useful Switchers, but I don't want to have to go through all the various steps each time I want to go back and forth from power saving and using my phone online.
View 5 Replies View Relatednew to Android, G1 and the forums Wondered if any of you can help?
I have 4 things set up in locale
1) turn on silent when at work
2) turn on Wi-fi when at home
3) turn on silent 6:30PM to 7:30PM (when getting my son to bed)
4) turn on silent 11PM to 8AM (so no emails are waking me!) number 2 works fine, the problem however is with the silent ones, ALL of them never go back to the default (ringer at full volume) when the time is up or when I'm away from the location. any ideas? I don't have GPS on, but the distance from home to work is large so it can't think I'm still anywhere near there plus that won't affect the time related ones.
