[General] Damaged Screen help.

First off do you have insurance on your phone. This could be in handy if the Device Company says it is user fault. Typically this rarely happens with an undamaged screen but it is insurance for a reason.

I would call HTC device services and speak to a representative. Explain to them that this has occurred and there was no physical damage to the phone and it started happening. With this issue it could be a hardware malfunction and they could send you a replacement phone. I would not recommend fixing the phone yourself until you call technical services. Sometimes companies have issues with their phones and do not advertise it because it is not a majority.

I have had an issue similar with a samsung phone and received a free replacement and upgrade. (this is going 5 years back). Your provider can only guarantee a warranty for an X amount of days where the physical device is under a 1 year warranty.

All else fails and you have the insurance, I would pay the deductible for a replacement when you file a claim.

[android help] Jelly Bean Screen Capture on Device With No Volume Buttons

I am aware of the screen capture feature in Jelly Bean. This requires pressing the power and volume hardware buttons to do a capture. However, the hardware on which I am working does not have any hardware volume buttons. Is there any non-programmatic alternative to performing a screen capture?

[android help] Best practice to store keys associated with a class

I want to share what I did for preferences storage, I use android's build in feature called SharedPreferences. For easy access, I create a wrapper around SharedPreferences called UserModel that have codes like this:

package tv.gsgw.android.garusuta.model;

import id.flwi.util.ActivityUtil;
import tv.gsgw.android.garusuta.constant.DataConstant;
import android.content.Context;

public class UserModel implements DataConstant {

        return str;

}

DataConstant in code above is just a class that contain constant variable like this:

public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_AUTHKEY = "new_AuthKey";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_EMAIL = "new_Email";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_PASSWORD = "new_Password";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_BIRTHDATE = "new_Birthday";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_PREFACTURE = "new_Prefacture";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_BLOODTYPE = "new_BloodType";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_BODYTYPE = "new_IdealBodyType";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_DURATIONPERIOD = "new_Duration";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_STABILITY = "new_Stability";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_SKINTYPE = "new_Skin";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_RELATIONSHIP = "new_Relationship";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_HEIGHT = "new_Height";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_WEIGHT = "new_Weight";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_PHY_1 = "new_phy1";
public static final String USER_DATA_FIELD_NAME_PHY_2 = "new_phy2";

This use an utility class that also create to help working with SharedPreferences easier:

package id.flwi.util;

/**

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

public class ActivityUtil {
    public static final String PREFS_NAME = "____MyPrefsFile";

    public static void debugExtra(Bundle extras){
        if( extras != null) {
            Log.i("Log", "printing all extras information");
            java.util.Set keys = extras.keySet();
            java.util.Iterator keyIterator = keys.iterator();
            int index = 0;
            while(keyIterator.hasNext()) {
                Log.i("log", "  extras #" + (++index) + ": " + keyIterator.next());
            }
        } else {
            Log.i("Log", "empty extras");
        }
    }

    public static boolean getSharedPreferenceBoolean(Context c, String preference){
        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        return settings.getBoolean(preference, false);
    }
    public static boolean getSharedPreferenceBoolean(Context c, String preference, boolean defaultValue){
        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        return settings.getBoolean(preference, defaultValue);
    }
    public static String getSharedPreferenceString(Context c, String preference){
        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        return settings.getString(preference, "");
    }
    public static String getSharedPreferenceString(Context c, String preference, String defaultValue){
        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        return settings.getString(preference, defaultValue);
    }
    public static int getSharedPreferenceInt(Context c, String preference, int defaultValue){
        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        return settings.getInt(preference, defaultValue);
    }

    public static long getSharedPreferenceLong(Context c, String preference, long defaultValue){
        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        return settings.getLong(preference, defaultValue);
    }

    public static void setSharedPreference(Context c, String preference, boolean prefValue){

        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
        editor.putBoolean(preference, prefValue);
        editor.commit();
    }

    public static void setSharedPreference(Context c, String preference, Long prefValue){

        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
        editor.putLong(preference, prefValue);
        editor.commit();
    }

    public static void setSharedPreference(Context c, String preference, int prefValue){

        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
        editor.putInt(preference, prefValue);
        editor.commit();
    }
    public static void setSharedPreference(Context c, String preference, String prefValue){
        SharedPreferences settings = c.getSharedPreferences(ActivityUtil.PREFS_NAME, 0);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
        editor.putString(preference, prefValue);
        editor.commit();
    }

}

Using it is pretty simple:

1. 
   

   To load the data, you just have to call:

   
   

   
   UserModel sharedData = new UserModel(getApplicationContext());
   
   



2. 
   

   To change or retrieve data just call it's associated field getter/setter:

   
   

   
   sharedData.getPassword();
   sharedData.setPassword("new password");
   
   



3. 
   

   Finally, if you change field(s), just don't forget to call saveIntoPreferences:

   
   

   
   sharedData.saveIntoPreferences();
   
   

Hope this help to solve your problem.

[android help] Nested set activity for result android

	I have 3 activities. A,B and C. A calls B, B calls C, and the result of C should be received in A. Can you please suggest how to go about it?? I m killing B using finish() after it calls C. So, the result of C should go directly to A Activityonresult. Is it possible??. Please give your suggestions! asked 51 mins ago

Don't kill B, in A start activity B using startActivityForResult and in B start activity C using startActivityForResult then in B onActivityResult @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent); setResult(RESULT_OK, intent); finish(); } where intent is the intent sent back from C. Now A will receive this intent in A onActivityResult. answered 38 mins ago

	What if you call C from A? Something like: A calls B; instead of calling C from B, finish it and make A call C. Unless the result of C affects B. In such case you have no choice but handling the result of C in B, and set the result of A from there if needed. answered 42 mins ago

[android help] Something wrong happened when updating app online

Recently I just meet a problem when I want to update my app online. My codes are shown below:

            try {
            if (Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(
                    Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
                String sdpath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+ "/";
                mSavePath = sdpath + "download/";
                URL url = new URL(downUrl);
                conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                conn.connect();
                // get the size of target file
                int length = conn.getContentLength();
                is = conn.getInputStream();

                File file = new File(mSavePath);
                if (!file.exists()) {
                    file.mkdir();
                }
                File apkFile = new File(mSavePath, FILE_NAME);
                fos = new FileOutputStream(apkFile);
                int count = 0;
                byte buf[] = new byte[1024];
                do {
                    int numread = is.read(buf);
                    count += numread;
                    progress = (int) (((float) count / length) * 100);
                    mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(DOWNLOAD);
                    if (numread <= 0) {
                        fos.flush();
                        isDownloadFinished = true;
                        break;
                    }
                    fos.write(buf, 0, numread);
                    fos.flush();
                } while (true); // just for test
            } else {
                System.out.println("no external SDcard");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(DOWNLOADFAIL);
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                conn.disconnect();
                fos.close();
                is.close();
            } catch (Exception e2) {
                // TODO: handle exception
                e2.printStackTrace();
            }
            mDownloadDialog.dismiss();
            if (isDownloadFinished == true) {
                mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(DOWNLOAD_FINISH);
            }
        }

And in handleMessage(), there is a function: installApk(). Of course it's in case DOWNLOAD_FINISH.

    private void installApk() {
    File apkfile = new File(mSavePath, FILE_NAME);
    if (!apkfile.exists()) {
        return;
    }
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    i.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(mSavePath + FILE_NAME)),
            "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
    FileDownloadActivity.this.startActivity(i);
}

OK, this is my main code. Simply what I want to do is to replace(or we can say "update") current app with new version which just been downloaded. And next step is to click "Yes" when the dialog which alert us with something like "you're goning to replace the app" shown. Then a progress shown,which means the new verion app is been installing. BUT, now the problem appear: the install surface just exit without any result, alert or infotmation! This is a very simple test app, without anything such as:database, package sign and so on. So anybody met this problem? I need your help. Oh, by the way, forgive my damn poor English... :)

[General] Storage menu in Settings never stops Calculating

Hello, I just bought a Huawei Y300 (Jelly Bean) a couple of days ago. Initially I would open the Storage menu in the Settings and it would show the actual amounts of memory available for apps, videos etc. Then a few hours later it started getting stuck on "calculating..." and never displayed the results anymore. I restarted the phone (or powercycled it, not sure anymore) and it displayed the results again, but only for a short while. A bit later the problem appeared again and I haven't been able to get it to work since.I haven't really done much with the phone - installed Nova Launcher and some apps and games etc., but no rooting or full backups or whatnot.

Right now it shows Phone Storage - 4GB total, Total Space - 14.81GB and all the subunits there (Apps, Pictures, videos, Downloads...) only show Calculating... Only the last item in that subsection, "Available", shows the actual amount - 14.38GB. If I open the "App Info" for any app, the storage information there also doesn't work - Total, App, Data all show Computing... and stay that way. Probably because of that the Clear Data button here is always greyed out so I can't clear it for any apps.

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I tried searching on the Internet but didn't find anything about this problem. If nothing else helps I'll try a factory reset, but I'd rather not have to install all my apps and enter all contacts again so I hope someone has some suggestion.

[android help] Android format a UTC datetime string into local format throws null error

hi I have the method below which takes the value of a UTC datetime string, format it to local display and return:

public static String convertDateStringUTCToLocal(String sourceUtcDateTimeString)
{
    SimpleDateFormat simpleDataFormat = new SimpleDateFormat();
    simpleDataFormat.setTimeZone(getCurrentTimeZone());
    String outputUTCDateTimeString = simpleDataFormat.parse(sourceUtcDateTimeString, new ParsePosition(0)).toString();

    return outputUTCDateTimeString;
}

public static TimeZone getCurrentTimeZone()
{
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    TimeZone outputTimeZone = calendar.getTimeZone();

    return outputTimeZone;
}

When debugging, the value of parameter sourceUtcDateTimeString is 'Mon Apr 15 13:54:00 GMT 2013', I found that 'simpleDataFormat.parse(sourceUtcDateTimeString, new ParsePosition(0))' gives me 'null', and 'simpleDataFormat.parse(sourceUtcDateTimeString, new ParsePosition(0)).toString()' throws error "java.lang.NullPointerException at toString()".

Looks like there is nothing at ParsePosition(0), but I am really new to Android dev, no idea why this is happening and how to get around it, could any one help out with a fix? I got stuck on this issue for hours.

thanks in advance.

[android help] How to add a Map to an Action Bar tab in Android/Eclipse?

I have a Map class in an Android App that shows your location, and works fine on its own. However, I am trying to add the class as a tab to my Action Bar in another app and am having difficulties. Since the class extends 'MapActivity', it is getting a Bound Mismatch error with my TabListener as it needs a class that extends Fragment. I have seen MapFragment before, but it just says it cant be resolved to a type. Perhaps that is because I am using API 17, but I am just so confused now. Should I be doing something different than setting my Map class as a TabListener like I did with my other Tabs? Is there another way to get your location and display it in a Map from the click of the Tab? Any help would be appreciated, and as always thanks for reading! Drew asked 3 mins ago

	Just do this: android:layout_height="34dp" => android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" => android:singleLine="false" Regards answered 1 min ago

[android help] SKU not available for in app purchase during testing

I am adding in-app-billing to one of my existing apps. To test this I created a draft app in google play, uploaded the new version of the apk with in-app-billing and added a product. I activated this product but I did not publish this new test app. But while testing, on querying for the newly created SKU, the code can't find it. Will I have to publish my app for this to work? Am I doing something wrong here? EDIT: I am using IABv3. asked 12 mins ago

[General] How to edit Kernel for changing CPU frequencies?

My Xperia Tipo Dual always freezes or reboots, the moment when the processor is clocked at 245 MHz (by the governor). Don't know why. Tried everything possible.
I'm running stock ROM and stock Kernel and the latest firmware.

The following frequencies are supported (in MHz): 122, 245, 320, 480, 640, 800. The moment the governor scales the CPU to 245 at low load, the phone either freezes, or reboots. If I manually put it to 245 MHz, the same thing happens within a few seconds.

So, I'm running at Minimum = 320 MHz; Maximum = 800 MHz with the interactive governor. Now it runs perfectly stable. But the standby time is considerably reduced.

Is there a way, by which I can delete the 245 MHz frequency from the Kernel and let the governor scale from 122 to 320 to 480 and so on; instead of 122 to 245 to 320 to 480 and so on?

Is there a way? Thank you.
