How To Create User Entry In App
Sep 27, 2011
I've started developing apps for Android today so I dont have much clue to what im doing. So far I have built a main page with some text on, a spinner and a button. What I need to know is how I would go about having a user entry feature? Do I have to create a form and a database?
Basically, a new user has to press the button, and then a new page will show up where they can put in their name and department. I've looked at SQLite but not sure if that's the right thing or not.

Can i get informed in my android application when a user adds a new entry in his calendar application (i.e. via listeners, ...) or is checking the calendar every now and then via the content provider of the calendar app the only solution to find out if the user has added new entries ?

I can't create a new entry in Calendar. When I long-click on a time and select New Event, it says "You must synchonize a calendar before creating a new event."
OK, so I try syncing to my Google account. But when I go into Settings in my Google account (Settings, Accounts, Google) I only see Sync Contacts and Sync Gmail. (Gmail syncing works fine.) I don't see Sync Calendars.
Furthermore when I go into the Calendar app on the Droid 2 and select More, Calendars, no calendars show up.
So I think there's something missing. I don't see a way to add the calendar to my Google account on the Droid 2.

I have my phone set to sync with my Exchange account (mainly for calendar use). Would ideally like to have a shortcut on the calendar app to create an event (or on the home screen for that matter), but no... you have to drill down into the calendar menu to find the "create event" menu item...

when i am composing a text message, sometimes the box of the entry goes larger and goes back smaller, is there a way to increase the text entry box size, say, double tap on it to bring up a whole screen text entry area?

I'd like to be able to create a special user account that would exist on an android device. Since it is based on the Linux kernel, I was hoping there was a way to create a group account and then create a user account. Is it possible ?

My name is Daniel Feldman and I am with the product group of an exciting new startup called Waze.
Waze is aiming to create the first user generated live driving map through the use of Smartphones. Our goal is to empower drivers to create, share and use real-time information (such as Traffic updates or road accidents) straight from their Smartphones. This has been both very popular and efficient in Israel, where we first began.
Waze is currently seeking 100 alpha users in the Bay Area who'll be the first users to participate in building this exciting project. In addition, if you have any other ideas, tips or suggestions, we would love to hear from you.

I have the official Android 2.2 on my phone from Sprint. Today I tried to pair it with my car's handsfree. The two (car and EVO) can see each other and it works fine until it gets to the point where I have to enter the pin number. A window pops up on the phone for the pin but when I tap the digits on the keypad, they don't enter into the pin field no matter how hard I try. This happened after the 2.2 upgrade. I have also rebooted the phone but no change.

I would like to insert a new event (start time, end time, and event name) in the user's calendar. How can I do that? I have the impression, that the SDK does not have the API for it (yet), but the G1 has the APIs. Would the CalendarProvider class the way to go?

I have had this same problem happen twice to me on 2 different phones on 2 different Verizon accounts!
The password screen locks and when it asks for the user name and password it states invalid user name / password!
Is this a known problem since when I called and talked to both Verizon and HTC the only thing they could tell me was to do a hard reset and they weren't aware of this problem?

Is it possible to use a PIN entry instead of drawing the unlock pattern when I want to unlock my phone? It's becoming rather annoying having to draw the pattern every time...

I've just made the switch from WinMo to Android (Samsung Galaxy). I was wondering if there is a good program for repetitive text entry? I used TapText by DinarSoft on WinMo and that was great for tapping and it would enter preconfigured text - date, name, address - anything you wanted! Is there anything similar for Android? I've had a search but all I can find is stuff for texting/sms but this is for use in any program that has a text field.

Still grappling with the on-screen keyboard on my HTC Desire (came frmo BB).
One thing that continues to annoy me is that when I am entering longer strings of text (eg Facebook comments/status, emails) there is no way for me to go back in the text to change or correct something. I either have to backspace all the way there, or have to try and put the cursor there by touching the screen at just the right place - either my fingers are too big or the screen isn't sensitive enough as I can never get this right.
why can't there be up/down/left/right arrows to move the cursor within the text entry box?
And another thing - there are some entry fields where the keyboard pops up and actually obscures the text entry box other than the first line and you can't see what you're typing.

Is there a way to select text easier for example, when you select text on an iPod touch or an iPhone? Perhaps there is an app in the market?

I'd like to query the contacts and create an RDF model (FOAF to be exact) from the data received. Therefore it would be necessary to know what kind of data I'm dealing with.
I'll need the following information about each contact: name, phone number(s), email address(es), IM ID(s) + corresponding IM service.
I thought that the best way to get this information was via the ContactsContract.Data table. So my query looks like this:
code:...........
Cursor contactsTable = managedQuery(contactsURI, projection, where, whereArgs, null); </code>
(I need the DATA_VERSION to know if updating the model is necessary.)
Now I'd like to go through the table and add properties to my model for each entry. Therefore I'd need to know if the row I'm currently reading contains a name, an email address, a phone number or an IM ID (it would be best if I could also get information about the IM service the ID belongs to).
Is it possible to get the CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE or anything like that? Or should I perform a single query for each type and then connect the information via the CONTACT_ID?

i have a application which will listen to incoming calls. so in the TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE state which means the call is hung up i'm deleting the current number from the Call Log.To delete the Call log i used ContentObserver which will notify me when a new entry is added to the Call Log.10 out of 8 times this works fine. but sometimes onChange(boolean b) is not notified.my guess is this can happen due to last entry is not added to the CallLog in CALL_STATE_IDLE state. so that means i'm doing this in a wrong place.so guys could you please let me know when should i delete this call log?

Some users are reporting that they have dust under their screen. Hopefully it was a manufacturing error and didn't get in there post assembly. However recent reports of other users saying water freely got under their screen when they installed a screen or body shield have me concerned. Is there a reasonable way to absolutely and definitively seal the area around the screen to prevent dust entry? It would have to be invisible to the eye for it to be feasible. I was thinking that a black thread inserted in the gap might act like a gasket and completely eliminate the possibility of dust entry. I don't know if this is even possible to do and I am too chicken to attempt it. But if it worked it would be removable too. Any thoughts on this or other ideas?

The party is over and Google suddenly released the much anticipated Android 2.0 SDK.
Much improvement for sure !
That said, the party is over and I came to have to deal with the following Ghost;
I've released an app in the market (Ambu) - so far qualified under SDK 1.5 &1.6. Using the emulator for Android 2.0, things don't work anymore.
This is what I'd like to share;
- my app invokes an ACTION.PICK intent as way to extract phone contact from the phone book and populate a database.
When compiling my app using the SDK version 1.6 and a target emulator configured at 1.6 level, the following code WORKS:
CODE:.........
When running the same code (compiled with SDK 1.6) and a target emulator at 2.0 level, the above code never return the entries I have populated in my the phone book. It's as if the phonebook was always empty.
A couple of additional observations;
- When running the emulator in 2.0 mode, the default local input type is Japaneese. Any way to change this ?
- Under the 2.0 emulator, and setting a "clean" AVD image, if you launch the dial button, press menu and select account, you'll probably immediatly get a "android.process.acore" error ...
- In the most recent SDK document, I can read that "People.CONTENT_URI" was deprecated after SDK 1.6. Therefore, I've changed the above code to:
CODE:.........
Unfortunatly, with the above, I get a crash right away when invoking ACTION_PICK.
Question to the Google Folks (dear dianne and others, please !);
How to we properly pick a phonebook contact under the 2.0 OS using 1.6 or 2.0 compiled apps ?

Is there a way to delete a single entry in your call history without deleting the rest of your call history? I've been going through all the menus but I can't seem to find a way to delete just one number.
Also, I used to own a Palm Treo 650 (Palm OS). With it, you could literally hide single contacts by setting a contact privacy password. This setting was deep in the settings and upon finishing setting it up, you could password lock that menu as well, the title of it and all. So this way, if you hand your phone to a colleague for them to make a quick call, they can't go through your phonebook or recents to try to get your numbers.
I bring this up because a few years ago, this lady I worked with let another co-worker use her phone to make a call and the lady ended up copying a specific number from the woman's recent list without her knowledge. She took the number and harassed the person so much they had to get a restraining order on her. And it was later found out the only way she could have gotten the number is the time she let the woman use her phone.
Call me paranoid but the Treo offered that security feature and I haven't seen it since. Is there any way to do this on the EVO that I just may be missing?
Also, does anyone know of something like a "guest mode" app on the marketplace where the guest can only use what you allow them to and not have access to recents or phonebook, like, just the core function, like sms/mms, net, phone, or calc, etc.

I don't know how it's happened, but my Xbox Live gamertag is listed in the list of contacts when I go to "All People". There's no phone number of email address or anything attached to it, so it's a completely pointless entry. How can I delete it? There's no option to delete it when I press the Menu key and "All People" is the only place the gamertag appears.

I've got a activity with one AutoCompleteTextView with associated 'doit' and 'clear' Buttons and a read-only TextView that displays the result of 'doit'. These results are being partially obscured by the QWERTY keyboard. I'm trying unsuccessfully to shift focus from the auto complete text view to the clear button (or the read only text view) thinking that as soon as the auto complete text view loses focus, the keyboard will go away.
So my question is really two questions:
1) Once I succeed in programmatically arranging for my auto complete text view to lose focus, will the keyboard go away?
2) Focus is stuck on my auto complete text view. I've setFocusable (true) on the clear button and the other read-only text view, and called requestFocus() from each (I've tried both). Also setText("") in the auto complete view. No love. Can I not set focus to a read-only textview or a Button?

Can suite of applications participate as one entry?As this is the power of the android platfom to have disconnected architecture. One application might be doing a small thing but when two or three apps club together then they can tackle a bigger problem.Or for the competion one has to have everything in one app? This doesnt make much sense though as the platform encourges component like design.
