[android-developers] Re: Block APK installation
This is just an idea... but why not try writing a the app as a custom version of https://github.com/android/platform_packages_apps_launcher and having a very small internal storage, so theirs no room for any additional APK's. N.B. I've never even compiled the kernel, so I've no idea if this will work, however I've looked through the code enough to believe that the launcher is the home screen. Someone tell me I'm wrong before I end-up sending this poor guy up a blind alley. On Jan 30, 4:49 pm, Isamar Maia isa...@gmail.com wrote: Yep. I knew that.

The purpose here is just to make it difficult, since anybody with a little more knowledge would be able to overwrite my custom image and cancel this block. Which executable I should work on to make it feasible ? Thanks a lot, -- Isamar Maia Cel. VIVO SSA: (55) 71-9146-8575 Cel.

[android-developers] Unicode in eclipse
Sorry if this is a little off topic (it's more an eclipse questron than an Android one, but as it's for an Android project...) What the easyist way to define non Latin text (I.e. Unicode) specifiy Arabic and Chinese in an Android project? When I try and copy and pasted the google translated version of my strings (I accept GT isn't the best way to internationalise an app but my budget is zero so...) eclipse doesn't recognised the characters. Can I just convert the characters an store the Unicode values? Or is their a better way? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

If you are copying them to a resource XML file (as you should), the encoding is UTF-8 so it should work automatically. If you are copying those in your source files as Java strings, you need to change the encoding of your source files to UTF-8 (the default is the platform default encoding): right click your project, select 'Resource' on the left and change 'Text file encoding' to UTF-8. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Whats first onCreate or the constructor
Firstly I hope this isn't too basic a question, I'm new to Java (and be extension Android) so please forgive me if it's obvious to everyone else, but I couldn't find the answer via Google. I have a simple app I'm writing primary because I and at least one of my friends want it but also to learn Java. Part of this application pulls a database from the resources and copy's it so it can be accessed via SQLite, and I use a class that extends SQLiteOpenHelper to copy the database. And here lies the problem, as soon as this class exists (the constructor is called) I get a runtime exception, comment it out it runs fine. I think this is because the constructor is setting a String (db_path) that is used by onCreate, and so if onCreate is fired before the constructor it tries to use db_path and fails because it's not set. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
