Re: [android-beginners] Cannot get MSISDN (phone number) but can get IMSI on HTC G3

I think some carriers don't provide the MSISDN to the handset so I guess you
shouldn't rely on it. Just use the IMSI and device id to identify the user.

[android-beginners] Displaying Image Gallery

Hi folks,

I'm still learning a lot from the tutorials and sample codes. But could
anyone give some example on how to display an Image with a given URL (for
example, link from a flickr). I'm actually planning to create a gallery
pulled from an RSS feed.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys, I managed to make it work by using the HttpGet and

Hi,

I'm still new with android but hopefully this snippet will help you:

Let's say you have your Service class:

  public class Service{

then you can use DOM parser to parse your xml:

[android-beginners] MediaPlayer Volume Range

[Marc Lester Tan]

Hi folks,

I just want to ask if somebody knows the usable range for the MediaPLayer's
volume levels? The doc just says it is a raw scalar and the UI should scale
logarithmically. An example would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

-Marc

Thanks Dave. Although when I tried putting 100 in the setVolume method

clickSound.setVolume(100, 100);

The volume level in the emulator seems to be louder when compared to 1.0.
Any idea?

So should we report that? Any reaction, google employees?
