[General] Saving pdf Files

Saving pdf Files

I have two questions regarding my Nexus 7 and pdf files. I tried to save a pdf attached to an e-mail, and was asked to choose btween Kindle and Quick Office and whether to make the choice permanent or one time. I mistakenly chose Kindle+permanent. Now the only way I can access the pdf is to go to the saved email and click the attachment. Then I get linked to Kindle which opens the pdf. Needless to say that is a lot of unnecessary selection. I tried to find the pdf file with File Manager but could not locate it. I tried to create a bookmark to the email, but could not do that either. So my questions are:

1. How do I undo the permanent choice of Kindle?
2. If I cannot do that, how do I create a link or shortcut or bookmark to the email so I can get to it quickly?
3. How do I find the folder to which the pdf was saved?

[General] Play Store searches

Play Store searches

I just moved up to the Nexus 4 from a Gingerbread device (Atrix 4g). One of early things I'm noticing are the search results in Play Store app. When I use the keyboard to locate apps with known names, it doesn't find some of them -- as in no results. BUT, when I use voice control in searches, it finds a list of results every time, usually with the app I'm looking for. Anybody else encounter this behavior?

[General] Questions about third-party launchers and stock ones

Questions about third-party launchers and stock ones

I got the HTC One last Friday and I'm almost set up like I want.

I've tried Nova and Apex and like them both, I just can't decide which one to buy.

The questions I have about launchers are these:

1.- If I set a launcher as the default one, what happens to the stock one? Will it start in the background at boot and consume battery?
2.- Do I have to delete widgets I have from the stock launcher so they don't update or work in the background before setting a third party launcher as the default with its own widgets?

Perhaps I'm just confused, but I expect that the stock launcher won't start at boot, it's widgets won't work in the background and in general, I wont get any battery consumption from the stock with it widgets if I set another one as the default.

Any info on this one? As an aside, which launcher do you guys recommend between Nova and Apex?

Thanks!

[General] Complete factory reset after rooting?

Complete factory reset after rooting?

I have a few problems in trying to completely recover my Evo. I rooted the phone and did all that was required at the time. Now, I'm giving the phone to somebody else and need to put it back in it's original state pre-root. However, when trying to do a factory reset from either the settings option in the phone or from the HBOOT menu, it does absolutely nothing. I don't know what else to do to clear the device. Any suggestions? Also, could part of the reason be that I removed the SD card that had all of the root data? Thanks in advance!

When i focus on edittext in my application the keyboard open and push my activity layout above the keyboard. The only option i have is to check if the keyboard is open then make the buttons that is pulled above keyboard invisible. I wonder if there is a simple way to disable the layout to get pulled up because this is a common error in every application i build. Also can someone tell me how to check when the keyboard is shown or hide. thanks. Updates : From my manifest asked 2 hours ago

[android help] How to show Unicode characters in Android textview?

How to show Unicode characters in Android textview?

Tell me more ×

I know this question is asked so many times but none of the accepted answer works for me. I have to fetch facebook friendlist and show it in a listview. To show the friend names, I am using textview. The weird problem is some of the friends wrote their name in their native language in facebook profile so when I am showing them in textview, it just shows some square shaped boxes.Is anybody having idea how to fix this??? EDIT I checked the Android Facebook Application,in the chat box where online friend names appears there too it shows square boxes instead of the name where as in iOS Facebook it shows the name irrespective of the language. R. Martinho Fernandes 71k20165272 asked 1 hour ago

	What about using such or similar code: textBox.setText(new String(data, "UTF-8")); You can manipulate the second parameter. It should work without this though... //I just saw your edit. So this is a device problem as other said... answered 1 min ago

	This probably means that your device (or the emulator you're using) does not support their native language. answered 1 hour ago

[android help] getActivity() returns null in fragment when i override onBackPressed in parent Activity

getActivity() returns null in fragment when i override onBackPressed in parent Activity

I have an Activity with few tabs manager by ViewPager. And there is one tab where i'd like to prevent closing activity when users click BACK button. Instead it loads upper level of data.

So my code in FragmentActivity looks like this

    @Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    boolean allowQuit = true;

    if (mTabsAdapter != null){
        if(mTabsAdapter.getItem(mTabsAdapter.selectedTab) instanceof backPressOverrider){
            allowQuit = ((backPressOverrider)mTabsAdapter.getItem(mTabsAdapter.selectedTab)).onCustomBackPressed();
        }
    }

    if (allowQuit) {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

And it works - activity not finished and I see my fragment, but getActivity() returns null. None of onDetach,onStop, onDestroy,.. was fired in fragment.

Is there any way to overcome this problem?

	Is it possible to tell a view, that it should at least wrap it's content but if the parent view leaves space to stretch, than it should fill it's parent? asked 5 mins ago

	If what you mean is imageview, then you can set android:layout_width="match_parent" android:scaleType="centerInside" For others I'd just set android:layout_width="match_parent" and won't worry too much about it. answered 8 secs ago
