[android-developers] Re: code to uninstall applications
I don't know if this is the one you meant about launching uninstaller
activity but I found something which might be the same...
http://android.amberfog.com/
I put this in the manifest...
then this one in the source...
Uri packageURI = Uri.parse("package:com.android.myapp");
Intent uninstallIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE, packageURI);
startActivity(uninstallIntent);
It redirected me to the uninstall confirmation...
How about before the uninstaller activity... the window where it shows
the information of the applications you selected... Whats the name of
that activity??
How do I redirect to that activity??

Is there a way to retrieve the free memory, total memory and maximum memory of other applications/processes using my application? I use Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory() but it can only retrieve your current application...

You're getting the same "not supported" failure? Then I guess whatever

[android-developers] How do I access a URI such as content://drm/audio/2 (which is a ringtone)
Hi all, I am trying to play a ringtone that is specified as the Default system ringtone. Unfortunately when i get the actual URI I get the above (content://drm/audio/2) and then when I try to play it, I hear the fallback ringtone - the one that you'd hear if the default was unavailable. Ringtones appear to get this URI when downloaded through sites such as Myxer and the like. Now it seems that when the default ringtone is on the SD card under a folder called 'ringtones' I do not run into this problem. I have tried to add the line: ...to the manifest but that doesn't seem to work either. If anyone has an idea as how I would be able to play this ringtone, I would be eternally grateful! I have been researching this and I can't seem to find anywhere any documentation on how to do this.

[android-developers] Re: code to uninstall applications
Hmmm... that's why I can't see the deletePackage method when I type
getPackageManager(). What do you mean I need to launch the uninstaller
activity? Is that the uninstaller app when you go to Settings/
Applications/ManageApplications in the phone??
If that's the case, is it not possible yet to uninstall apps using our
own applications?
Is there a way or code to just redirect to the ManageApplications
window using my application?

[android-developers] error message with MediaPlayer
hi all,
I try to recived rtsp or mms audio stream for a long time,
simply use the code to recive audio stream:
myPlayer1.setDataSource("mms://");
myPlayer1.prepare();
myPlayer1.start();
I search for this topic for all discussions,
and get some conclusions from all discussions:
(a) sdk 1.1 not support for stream but sdk 1.5 could.
(b) someone says stream can't work on the emulator because the
firewall issue.But in fact,my computer without firewall,and i also try
in the htc G1 mobile but still can't work!(sdk 1.1)
(c)almost everyone got the same error from "prepare()" function.the
error message from "adb logcat" i post bellow
E/PlayerDriver( 542): Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with
an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported
E/MediaPlayer( 741): error (1, -4)
can someone or android engineer give some tips?
because i search for this topic long time,and no answer,no one can
success.
thanks a lot.

[android-developers] Re: copy wiped/ raw data from android to sd-card (data recovery)
Uh wait... you want to recover data after it is wiped? That is not what I was talking about, I was just pointing out a command line tool you can use on phones with root to do backup/restore of the data partition. This tool is basically just there for developers, who often need to wipe and restore their data, and has lots of issues and limitations. But if someone wants to do something like it, the code is a code example to start from.

[android-developers] Re: targeting broadcasts issue
Yeah currently notifications are very much owned by the app that created
them, and there is no facility for other apps to interact with them. As you
say, one could imagine a way for apps to replace handling of notifications,
but it's not something we have defined support for at this point.

[android-developers] Re: code to uninstall applications
The deletePackage method is not available to third party apps. To uninstall
an app you need to launch the uninstaller activity to have the user confirm
what is going on.

That is true, as far as it goes. However, as near as I can tell from the
Android source code, that notification was raised by the built-in
messaging application:
http://tinyurl.com/o4t4cl
Since the built-in messaging application raised the notification, it has
to clear it; no other application context can do so, AFAIK.
What you may want to do is find a way, if there is one, to arrange to
consume the SMS message yourself and put up your own notification,
rather than let the built-in messaging application handle it.

Intents are used in more places than notifications. The notion of having
alternative applications responding to the same Intent would appear to
be aimed more at things like startActivity() than notifications.
That being said, I can imagine there being some way to enhance Android
to allow applications who handle the Intent sent from a Notification to
be able to cancel that same Notification.

[android-developers] Re: targeting broadcasts issue
Dianne,
I really don't want control over the notification at all. I beleive
that i am either missing something or doing something the wrong way.
maybe you can tell me what i am doing wrong or know someone that could
point me in the wright direction.
My understanding of intents is that the whole point of them is so that
you can have multiple applications providing similar or the same
functionality and that those applications become interchangable via
intents. Now when a new sms comes in there is a notification in the
notification bar and that notification will allow any application
implementing the correct intent ("action view and data of sms") to be
triggered from the notification to display the sms. This part works
perfectly. The issues is that when the notification trigers my
application instead of the default messaging application the
notification never goes away. I have marked the sms as read and done
everything i can think of to try to trigger it to update the
notification to either the next sms or to remove the notification. I
am happy to post my code if that helps as i have to be missing
something. It makes no sense to allow developers to offer alternative
applications via intents with the notifications and then have the
notification never go away.
I mean i have clicked th notification to trigger the intent and i have
marked the sms as read when my app loads the intent. Is there
something else i need to do? Fire some other intent or something?
This is all just an atempt to work around the issue
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2261. All i want to
do is allow my users to send sms over the internet. The issues is why
you can implement an intent for a new sms half the sms my users send
are replies and since reply is built into most sms apps unless the
issue above is implemented you need to write an app to view sms so
that you can capture the replies hence what i am trying to do above.
I really want to keep this as simple as possible as this is only a
small part of my application but it is turning out to be the bigest
time consumer.

[android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState() normally not called ?
Does it matter when it gets called? You can be sure that it has been called if your onCreate gets called after your app got killed. Maybe onSaveInstanceState sometimes gets called at onpause without the app being actually killed, as Dianne points out, then you'll never get the data back that you saved, but does it matter?

[android-developers] Re: BroadCastReceiver Alternate
If you are just writing a self-contained application -- it is all running in the same process -- then you really don't need to do anything special. Just normal Java stuff -- define a callback interface that the second activity implements, and hands to your network thread for it to call back on when it is done.

If you have root you can do pretty much anything. Fwiw, if you build the Cupcake platform, there is a "backup" command that provides very simple backup/restore when running as root.

[android-developers] Re: targeting broadcasts issue
Sorry, if you want to have control over the notification, I think you will
need to implement it yourself. I'm not an expert on the telephony APIs, but
I don't know of anywhere we have something that allows one application to
dismiss a notification owned by another.

[android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState() normally not called ?
Also onSaveInstanceState() will definitely be called when your activity is in the foreground and you press home. In that case the activity is not being finished, so the user may return to the same instance later (in the same state as they left it), so onSaveInstanceState() will be called before onPause() in case its process gets kill any time after onPause() returns.

[android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState() normally not called ?
> onSavedInstanceState() First make sure you don't have a typo, because it is called onSaveInstanceState(...). A case where it is definitely called is when you switch orientation (in the G1, slide out the keyboard). Then onSaveInstanceState(..) is called 100%, and onCreate(...) in the newly created activity contains the bundle that you stored yourself. (provided you let the system handle the screen orientation change). Does this work? It should. If you call "finish()" or press "Back", then onSaveInstanceState() is NOT called, because it is assumed the user finishes the activity. If the user opens the activity again, a fresh instance is created. If you think the current directory should be the same after you press finish() and launch the application again, then it is NOT a candidate for saving in the instance state. If you only want to keep the current directory when changing screen orientation, or being interrupted by an incoming call, then saveInstanceState IS the correct thing for you.

[android-developers] Installing USB drivers on Vista 64 bit
Hey all, I am currently having issues installing my G1 in development mode on Vista 64 Premium SP1. I have tried both installing the drivers that come with the latest SDK and also the ones here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446274. Whenever I plug the phone in it comes up as an unknown USB device under device manger. When I go to update driver and point the installer at the correct driver location it either says 'the device driver is up to date' or when using the have disk option it says 'the folder specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device'. Any help would be really appreciated - I have been hitting Google for about 2 hours now!

It won't necessarily be called in either of those cases.

[android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState() normally not called ?
The documentation makes it sound that it would normally BE called, thats why I was wondering. In my case I have a second Activty that I open from the Main Activity, and regardess of wether I call finish() myself or use HOME to switch to another application, onSavedInstanceState() is never called. I guess saving to a SharedPreference in onPause() would fit best in my case (even though I dont need it shared).

Or, in "the cloud" (i.e., store it out on the Internet somewhere, if you have connectivity). Or, if all you are worried about is screen rotations, use onRetainNonConfigurationInstance().

[android-developers] Re: switch between GPS and Networkprovider
Hi!
If you want to monitor the availability of GPS signals you have to
have a Listener constantly on the GPS_PROVIDER for status changes and
set and remove a different NETWORK_PROVIDER listener on those changes,
otherwise you won't get notified if gps signal is available again.
However you have to solve data passing and synchronization between the
two LocationListeners somehow.
If you need further help you can contact me in private.
Zod.
