I'm trying to change the language of the whole system of Android Phone on my application, cause our goal is to customized a Settings application. I've tried this, but didn't work: Configuration conf = Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration(); conf.locale = toSet; //toSet is a Locale which I

[android-developers] How to get the real device screen size

2012-01-20 Thread Eric Tseng
While I'm developing my app, I need to get my device physical size. But the current functions like display.getSize() or heightPixels in DisplayMetrics return the sizes which exclude the decorations like status bar. Like my device, I'd like to get 1280*800 not 1280*752(which excludes status bar).

1. Well you can simply copy paste the styles you need from the android SDK and insert it in your own XML files (they can be found in the SDK1.0/tools/lib/res/default/values/styles.xml file). They way you can still use the same styles as before, but you don't have to access them from the

From what i know, most of the Java/J2ME phones use the chipsets acceleration functions (some mobilephone CPUs are optimized for java accerlration in 2d/3d games). But since Android is not based on Java/ J2ME, it doesn't support this acceleration (even though the CPU used in the G1 supports Java

Hi, I'm using Eclipse/Android 1.1_r1 SDK on Vista x64 too. No problems there. Do you have the latest Java 1.6.13 JDK for windows x64 installed on your computer? Or do you have Java x64 installed at all? I'm using the x64 bit version of Java 1.6.x JRE/JDK. Maybe you have only the x86 version

Sorry for double post. Rereading the error message the reason also could be that you only have x64 Java JDK on your system and no x86 version. Try installing both and see if it works On Mar 29, 1:54 pm, Tseng tseng.priv...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, I'm using Eclipse/Android 1.1_r1 SDK

I don't think your idea is going to work well too. The problem is, there are some applications that need to run in the background (and i'm not talking about the system applications here). Let's assume you got some kind of scheduler which shall notify a user when a certain event or time occurs.

Unlike in C/C++ or PHP you can't have global variables in Java (or C#). The closest thing to a global is a public static variable. for example class YourActivity extends Activity { public static boolean bMyBoolean; } Now you could access it with if(YourActivity.bMyBoolean) { // Do

Exactly. This is not possible for security reasons. The user shall always be aware what he is receiving from other people and it makes malware/trojan-hores like applications harder to make. However, I think it's possible to set an notification in the notification window, so the user is aware
