[android-developers] Re: How to programaticly create playlists ?
Hi François R., Did you get any solution for this?

I use ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.NAME, nom); return getContentResolver().insert (MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values); to create my playlist and something alike for members. It runs well but every time I mount the sd card, MediaScanner scans again my mp3, erase all the members and let the playlist empty. When I run the music player, the playlist are still there but when I chose one of them, there is no more mp3 in it. I can start my program to refill the playlists but I would like to know why MediaScanner erase my members. Is there a better way to do or a trick to avoid this ? I tried to read MediaScanner.java but i don't see how... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Launch navigation app with an Intent - [DS]
You could use something like this: Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=20.344,34.34daddr=20.5666,45.345;)); startActivity(intent); You can use an actual street address instead of latitude and longitude. However this will give the user a dialog to choose between opening it via browser or Google Maps. If you are in the US, you could use an unofficial way (Since it isn't official, I don't recommend using it). This will fire up Google Maps in navigation mode. Haven't played with it since where I live it isn't available. Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(google.navigation:q=an+address+city); If you want to get rid of the dialog you can give the intent a hint as to which package you want to use. Before the startActivity() add this: intent.setClassName(com.google.android.apps.maps, com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity); On Saturday, December 12, 2009 3:18:20 AM UTC+5:30, Declan Shanaghy wrote: Hello, I realize this might not be the proper place to post this since it's not Android specific, but rather its about integrating with a google app. I've been trying to find some documentation on launching / controlling the Google Navigation app via Intents or otherwise. I was hoping to find an intent to launch the navigation app with address parameters setup and start navigation immediately. Can't find anything out there, so I'm still not even sure if it can be done. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello all, I want to run a background thread or service till application is in foreground. Means i want that service to run in background only if any activity of an application is in foreground and visible. when application is in background or not running i.e no activity is in foreground or visible it should stop service or cancel that background thread. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
