[android-beginners] How to save a WiFi connection?
Hi, I have written an app that programmatically scans for open WiFi networks and connects to the one that has been hard-coded in the app code. For e.g., I have a home network, SSID: Abhi and is secured as WPA-Personal with a Passkey. The passkey for the above network has been saved within the App, so when it looks for networks the first time and comes across the SSID 'Abhi', it connects with the passkey. However, the problem is, once I am done using the connection and switch WiFi off and back on again, I don't get connected automatically to 'Abhi' which would happen if I manually add the WiFi network going into settings and so on. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks, Abhi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!

[android-beginners] Re: Launch other activity on pressing the on-screen camera/camcorder button?
Hi Roger,
I am working on a Video Recorder App. But the problem with this App is
that it doesn't let me shoot high res videos on the Droid when
compared to what the built-in Camcorder App lets you do. The basic
idea is to start the accelerometer when the user starts the video
recording and stop it when the video is stopped. But the video quality
is bad as I said when I try to build my own recorder. Now, I am trying
to figure out if I can use the built-in Camcorder App and somehow
trigger the accelerometer when the user hits the Record button (on-
screen or the hard button on the phone). This is the reason why I have
been trying to get an answer to the above question. Is that something
you can help me on?
Thanks,
Abhi

Thanks Mark.
Can you give an example for launching the Youtube app from within my

Intent intent2 = new Intent();
intent2.setClassName("com.android.camera",

startActivity(intent2)
Couldn't understand how to do it with other apps.

[android-beginners] launch app from an app
Hi, I am making an app which when running may need to open another app thats installed on my phone. The other app(s) are the ones not developed by me and I would only like to launch these apps if/when needed. Any help around making this work will be appreciated.

[android-beginners] Voice 2 text help
Hi guys, I have been trying to develop an app around the voice recognition functionality of Cupcake. As a sample code, I used the VoiceRecognition.java project available under API Demos. (http:// developer.android.com/guide/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/ apis/app/VoiceRecognition.html) I want to know if I can extract the text result on the list view and use it as a String further on? The part of code I am refering to is below where mList is defined as ListView: ArrayList matches = data.getStringArrayListExtra (RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS); mList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, matches)); I want to use the result to be able to take further action.

[android-beginners] Re: Developer hardware
hi guys, thought i would jump in here instead of creating a new post... i just bought myself the new htc mytouch 3g g-phone (g2). I have a few basic apps (scan wireless networks, display accelerometer values etc.) that I want to test on my phone as the emulator doesn't support any of this. Both the apps force close in the emulator I want to know how can I test them on my phone real-time? I read about doing this on T-mobile G1 over here http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html , but it doesn't work this way on my phone tried enabling USB Debugging on the phone as mentioned, installing the drivers, everything that this manual says... but Eclipse would just not detect my phone and always Run the code on the emulator... I hope someone can help me out with this...

[android-beginners] Re: WifiReceiver not part of SDK 1.5???
Hi Jack,
posting my reply again... dunno where my previous post went.
I have the complete code now but the app force closes on my emulator.
Is it because the emulator doesn't support WiFi apps? and force closes
when it tries to scan for networks? I thought the emulator would just
get stuck at the Starting Scan phase but wouldn't crash... correct?

[android-beginners] WifiReceiver not part of SDK 1.5???
I don't see this in the list of WiFi classes on the latest
documentation found here
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/package-summary.html
I am refering to a WifiScanner code (snippet below) to scan wireless
networks
public class WifiTester extends Activity {
TextView mainText;
WifiManager mainWifi;
WifiReceiver receiverWifi;
List wifiList;
...
and it gives me an error in Eclipse saying 'WifiReceiver cannot be
resolved to a type'. Any help would be appreciated.
Please also let me knw how to replace the part of code that has
WifiReceiver in it with any of the existing classes.
Thanks,
Abhi
