[android-developers] How to hide apps in the launcher?

[android-developers] Accessing Front and Back Camera at the same time
Hi All, I want to access the front and back camera at the same time. Is this possible? From what I tested, this could not be done. It crashes if an application is already accessing the back camera and another app is trying to access the front camera. But what I don't understand is why is there such a limitation? Isn't front and back cameras are two different pieces of hardware? Or can this be done and am I wrong?

[android-developers] Switch Camera in Android
Hi All, I am following the sample available at: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html for developing an camera application.

Hi TreKing, Yes, thanks. Now I am using my own code using sample from: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html, now the picture is taken upon the click of a button.

Re: [android-developers] How to disable the installation of device administrator application?
Hi Mark, Yes, malware could exploit this but creating own firmware for organisations may be only feasible if they want to issue the phones to the users and firmware update, security patches all needs to be taken care of. Even though device administrator functionality provides some policies that can be used to control the device, by allowing users to uninstall it, makes it bypassable by users. How about using another device admin app to monitor the first app. If the first app gets uninstalled, it will trigger and send a notification to the administrator etc. Not sure, whether this is feasible?

[android-developers] Re: HTTPS in Android
Hi All, Below is my code snippet: File file = new File(filepath); HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); //String url = http://test.; String url = https://test..;; HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url); FileEntity bin = new FileEntity(file, url); post.setEntity(bin); HttpResponse response = client.execute(post); HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity(); Basically I am using fileentity to do a HTTPPost. Now I want to do this over https. After implementing https over at the backend I just modified http to https in the url and tested again. And it is not working. Any idea how do i resolve this?

If both interfaces are connected to a separate network, a simple change of routing table would allow to choose the interface to send/ receive data no ?

[android-developers] Write data into SDCard while mounted
Hi All, Is it possible to mount/unmount the SDCard through an Android application? I am writing my own desktop application which needs to to pass some data into the Android phone which will be used by an Android application and at the same time copy some data from the phone into the desktop application. Any idea how to implement this? One idea is through SDCard. But is it possible to mount and unmount programmatically? Because data cannot be written into the SDCard while it is mounted. Is there any other method? Thanks In Advance, Perumal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Write data into SDCard while mounted
Hi Mark, Yes, wifi and Bluetooth can be used. But I am wondering if it is possible through USB as the phone will be connected to the PC. I method I thought is by writing to sdcard and the desktop application can copy from it. But it is not possible to write to sdcard while it is mounted. Is it possible to mount programmatically?

[android-developers] Re: Exiting Application
Hi feiweiss, Yes, that's what I want to do. Exclusive lock on the camera which can be only unlocked by user through a pin. But I realised that by doing a Camera.open() it holds on to the camera resourses and other applications cannot use it but Android releases the camera after a short while and this method is also battery draining. I trying to find a better way to acheive it but couldn't find any methods yet. Is there a way to do this? What I want to do is similar to setting restrictions functions available in iPhone. In iPhone it is part of the OS, here I am trying to do the same thing but in a form of app. The user can still kill the application though. Nothing like what Filip has mentioned :) Thanks and Regards, Perumal On Aug 19, 12:12 am, feweiss fewe...@gmail.com wrote: Well, it seems like your main issue is how to use and/or maintain an exclusion lock on the camera without your application having an activity in the foreground. Have you solved that? As for the exit an application (I still think that's the wrong way to say it), the nice way would be to add a pending intent, which displays a notification icon. This reminds the user the camera is locked and provides a handy access to the unlock activity. In any case, in order to unlock the camera, the user needs to start an activity in your application that performs the unlock. Thinking of the camera lock as a state of the application/device is much better IMO than thinking that the application is running. The other way is to force stop the application from the Manage Applications control panel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
