is there a way to programmatically configure orientation in android application at runtime ?
(I want to allow portrait in phones and portrait/landscape in tablets)

Is it possible to have a user choose how an app should respond to orientation changes? I have it set to android:screenOrientation="sensor" in the manifest but I would like users to be able to turn this on and off or set landscape or portrait orientation permanently.

Say, I have an activity which supports orientation change in normal situations. It has say three Edit Texts.
There's also a button, which when clicked would do some processing in a thread while showing a ProgressDialog which is not cancellable.
Ok, so till the user hits the Button, I want the activity to be able to adapt the orientation changes. I have two layouts files for each orientation with different layout schemes.
What I want is this. Once the user clicks on the button, and the ProgressDialog is showing, I don't want the activity now to be re- created again when the orientation changes. So, before showing the ProgressDialog, is there any way to tell the Activity not to handle Orientation change?
Also, once the process is complete, and the ProgressDialog is removed, I want the Activity again to be able to handle orientation changes.
Is there a way to enable / disable orientation changes at runtime?
i know you can force a screen orientation in your manifest using android:screenOrientation="portrait" or ="landscape"
but I would like a way to enable / disable it at runtime.
I have an xml layout that will display a grid made up of textviews within tablerows. The textview names are cell00, cell01, etc. At runtime, my program will determine which cell needs to be changed.
Is there a way get format a name so that it can be passed to the findViewById method at runtime? For example, if cell00 is needed, how can I generate the parm in this code?
TextView currcell = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.cell00)
Something like "cell"+00 doesn't compile because the findViewById method doesn't accept a String type. I don't want have every textview name in the grid hardcoded in the program - there must be a better way.
Yeah. For some reason the Email application on my X wont configure my school email. I don't know if this has something to do with the ".edu"? I guess if anyone has any advice on a new email that COULD configure this, or if you have a solution to configuring the default email app on the X to configure this account.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy friend was talking to me about an application my friend has, or that it comes with the phone, but I can't seem to figure out a way to do it.
So the application basically sends the caller a customized SMS if you do not pick up the phone. Say you call me, and I didn't answer, the phone automatically sends the caller a text that you set up beforehand that could say 'I'm sleeping, I'll call you when I'm awake' or something along those lines.
Anyone know what it is or how to configure it if it comes with the phone?
As an additional anti-pirating strategy, I'd like to compute a checksum on my application at runtime. Since my app communicates with a back-end server, I can send the checksum with each message and the server can deny service to altered apps. Not a complete solution to piracy by any means, but a fairly easy way to raise the bar. Anyone know how an app can get access to it's load image at runtime?

I am calling a method of another .apk file dynamically at runtime in my application. I can execute it successfully if method does not contain any variable which is defined outside of that method.

View 2 Replies View Related1) I am developing my app in Eclipse 3.4.1 with Android (ver 1.1_r1) plugin. My app compiles and executes without errors when using the Eclipse IDE.
However, when I export my app (unsigned) using Eclipse (via {select project} >right-click>Android tools>export unsigned application package), sign it, and try to run it on the Emulator, it throws a runtime error when I try to update my sqlite database, at which time the specific error created is: SQLite error#14, unable to open database. It is able to read from the database without problems. (I have also verified that the database is: open, is not readonly, is not locked by another thread, is not in the middle of a transaction.)
I have limited experience, but this seems more like a "system" problem given that the app works OK in Eclipse IDE but then fails as an exported/signed apk. Some googling of SQLite resources revealed a similar error on a non-Android platform which was fixed by: "Set your permissions correctly on /var/tmp, or whatever directory you are using to hold temporary files".
Does Android have temporary files, and if so how does it handle permissions on temporary files? Is there a way to check or set these permissions to see if this fixes my problem here?
2) Not sure if it is related, but after I have run the exported/signed app which causes the runtime error, if I reboot the Emulator, and try to run the program using the Eclipse IDE , the program fails with the same exact error. PLUS I also noticed the following error message while the program is installing/running: 03-01 22:22:29.282: ERROR/PackageManager(53): Package com.northwestradiology has mismatched uid: 0 on disk, 10019 in settings; read messages:
I can restore the Eclipse version of my program to be able to execute without runtime errors by utilizing the -wipe-data option for the emulator. But note that if I run my signed APK using an emulator created with the -wipe-data option, it still throws the runtime error listed above...
I have an application that's offered in and outside of the MarketPlace.Is there a way of determining from within the code where the application came from? I've got a few indirect methods
1) I could simply infer from whether they have "Allow installation of non-Market applications" ticked.
2) Or I could just make separate builds and make it explicit in the code.
I want to launch a specif application.
I know how to do Intents but I want to avoid the selection menu if there are multiple apps that can handle the intent, i want to go directly to a particular app. Hope this makes sense.
