[General] App to turn another app on and off based on time

App to turn another app on and off based on time

Hi all...

I like to sleep at night! When I do I would love it if I could turn Google Talk off but have it switch on again in the morning without me having to remember to do it. At the moment I have an app which puts the phone into airplane mode and I set a time to turn it back on. If I could do the same with Google Talk it would be awesome.

Does anyone have any ideas of an app that would turn it off for a set period of time, or maybe at a certan time of the day check to see if it is off and start it up again?

Thanks guys.

[General] can I back up but *not* restore using Backup and Restore?

can I back up but *not* restore using Backup and Restore?

Hi,

If I use the Backup and Restore option in my S3's settings, can I just back up my settings to Google and back out of the restore? I'm afraid to give it a try in case it goes from backup --> restore on it's own.

Thanks,
Deb

[General] Unlock to last app used

Unlock to last app used

It should do that by default, however some system intensive apps like games and the like will restart when you unlock your phone.

The reason being that some apps don't work well with wake locks. And putting the phone to sleep during the middle of a system intensive app interrupts the process and forces it to close. Because turning the phone off causes the processor to sleep.

Seeking App for Non-Cloud Email with Folders and Filters

Is there an Android email app that will do the following:

• Sync with multiple POP3 accounts


• Sort mail into folders automatically


• One of the sort criteria: Sender is in my Contacts list

If not, would someone please write it?

(I can't switch to IMAP and I won't use Gmail or another cloud-based service.)

Looking for a good headset

Is there a good monaural headset with a large leather earcup that can fit around the ear?

Sort of like this except with a leather earcup. Blutooth would be best, but wired is acceptable. Does not matter if earcup is closed or open, although closed would be best. The phone I will use it for will be either a Samsung Note II or S 4.

[android help] Android: Image Over Zooming

Android: Image Over Zooming

I have this code from a tut that enables scrolling and zooming of an image, but even if the image is small, the code will stretch the image so that It will fill the whole screen. I want it to have a dialog maybe that contains the image and enables the zooming and scrolling by modifying the code without occupying the whole screen.

Edit: Is it possible to have a limit in scrolling or limit the size of the image using the code below?

public class ZoomHelloActivity extends Activity {

     // Physical display width and height.
    private static int displayWidth = 0;
    private static int displayHeight = 0;


    static String img="";

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Display display = ((WindowManager)
                          getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
        displayWidth = display.getWidth();
        displayHeight = display.getHeight();

        //get intent
        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); 

        if (extras != null) {
            Toast.makeText(this.getBaseContext(),"Inside: "+img.toString(),
                   Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            img = extras.getString("img");
            // and get whatever type user account id is
        }
        else{   Toast.makeText(this.getBaseContext(),"ERROR ni",
                   Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();}
        setContentView(new SampleView(this));


    }

    private static class SampleView extends View {

[android help] Regex to remove track number from song name?

Regex to remove track number from song name?

I have a ListView that display song names and artists. Sometimes, the song names contain the track number and a separator with some in this format

13 - J. Cole - Best Friend 

and others like this

13 - Beautiful People

After some digging around I found that the best way to go about this is to define a regex pattern that will remove any unnecessary characters in the string. Cool. I've looked at other SO questions on a similar topic here and a couple blog posts but still no luck.

This my first time dealing with regular expressions and I find it quite useful, just trying to wrap my head around coming up with efficient/useful patterns.

Here's what I need to remove from the string if it is a match

The track number
The "-" or whatever separator character that follows it
The artist name and the "-" that follows that(Each artist name is listed below the   song, so it would be redundant)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as usual guys, thanks!

Edit: The same output that I would like is something like this, with just the song names. No track numbers, and if applicable; no artist names following the "-"

Beautiful People
Angel of Mine
Human Nature

	I would like to implement a button that when clicked would activate android's speech to text translator like the one provided by android's keyboard. Specifically, I would like a button that would have the app transcribe what the user is saying in real time, and record it word by word (real time) in an editText box. What would be the best way to go about doing this? Thanks asked 15 mins ago

[android help] Model View Controller in android

Model View Controller in android

Tell me more ×

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

	I write android project that use MVC concept , and load available data from the model to controller to pass it to view to display it .But is there any way to load data not available and when you ensure this data is available to controller to pass it to View class to display it?. asked 24 mins ago

	Observer Pattern is the answer. You will need a mechanism that Controller will register himself for Load Data Event. Which basically triggered by an Observable Class which tells observer that something has changed. And whenever this event will occur Controller will go and get the data from Modal and forward it to View. answered 11 mins ago
