[android-developers] Re: Intent.ACTION_SYNC no docs or resolveInfo
So, for those interessted on the issue. joebowbeer's suggestion does not seem to work, the Broadcast receiver is never activated with that Intent. The solution was to register a ContentObserver that listens to the Gmail content provider (content://gmail-ls/) , each time the data set is being changed, a callback function would be called.

Yep, i'm also interested in this... Also how to detect when a bluetooth headset device is being paired and connected with the phone.

In Android 1.5 we had the ability to route audio to any of the available output devices - Speaker, Earpiece, WiredHeadset,Bluetooth A2DP. In Android 1.6 the Android team made things more difficult, but it was still possible (there were comments about a re-write of the Audio subsystem) In Android 2.0 the workarounds for 1.6 stopped working, and comments in the source/documentation indicated thou shalt call these alternate methods - the alternate methods didn't seem to work properly and only gave access to a subset of available devices. I have just downloaded the latest source and can now see why the new methods don't work properly for me - they themselves seem to have been deprecated and are just stubs that do nothing. I also note that the documentation has also been updated to indicate these methods are no longer viable. So my question is this: Is there *any* way in Android 2.x for an application to request that audio be routed to a given audio sink. Specifically, if I want to route audio to Speaker OR Earpiece OR WiredHeadset(if available) ORBluetoothA2DP (if available) -- can I do it? I'd be interested to hear if Google Voice still allows switching voicemail playback from Speaker to Earpiece on Android 2.x devices (the Verizon Droid for example). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Protection Method to avoid an .apk being copied overall
Hi Developers, First i explain you my situation: I have just released my new App (Voice Alerts - more info: http://49ers.es/corbi/voice-alerts), there is a demo and a full (paid) version. For promoting/publicity purposes i would like to send a copy of the full version to a couple of people, so they get the fully functional app without paying for it. My fear is that if i send them the .apk without any protection means implemented, it could happen that they can eventually upload the file to a server and made it available for free overall. How would you guys solve this situation? I have 2 ideas runing on my head right know: - is it possible to return the money to a user that buys the app through the market, using google checkout? This solution should be just great because i will not have to add extra lines on the code or prepare an especial .apk for it. Just return the money but the app stays in the phone and would get the updates and everything. - is it possible to check programatically wich google acount (or other mail account) is being user on a phone, so the app would be associated with just one email account and will only work with that phone? any other alternatives...

Is it allow for my app to dim the screen programmatically??, the goal would be to send the phone sleeping when a Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED event is handled by a BroadcastReceiver, just like its done automatically by the OS (if so configured) after x time of inactivity. Thanks above all. Alex. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Clickable Desktop Widget
Hi guys, i'm implementing a simple Widget that toggles on/off a service on my App, I've extended a AppWidgetProvider class and succesfully defined the xml appwidget-provider file. The question is, how can i register a OnClikListener so i know when the user clicks the widget on the desktop (once its already placed on it) the OnUpdated(), OnEnabled(), OnDisabled() events are being correctly called, but i don't know how to register a OnClickListener sinces there's no activity and therefore i cannot call findViewById(). How is it done for most of the toggle widgets? how have you guys implemented it?

Here's my code: RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget); views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.click_target, PendingIntent.getActivity( context, 0, new Intent(context, MyActivity.class).setFlags (Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT)); As you can see, mine opens a specific activity, but I believe you could fire any valid Intent.

[android-developers] Accelerometer shake side-to-side detection issue
Hi everybody,
I'm developing an app and i need to detect when the user shakes the
phone from side to side , that means just along one axis (in this case
X) . That for i'm reading the values from the accelerometer, a bit of
code:
private final double THRESHOLD = 0.2;
@Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
if (series!=null){
if (event.values[0] -THRESHOLD){
moving = LEFT;
}else if (event.values[0] THRESHOLD){
moving = RIGHT;
}
}
}
I want to know when the user shakes the phone to the left and when to
the right, the problem is that my code does not detect shaking but
tilt, i have tested this code and it works when i tilt the phone to
left or to the right, but not when a shake it from side to side (no
matter the orientation of the phone).
¿do you guys know what i'm doing wrong? ¿how would you code it? i'm
testing it on a Samsung galaxy.
- i dont what to detect an arbitrary shake , i want to detect the
acceleration along the x axis, something in this direction:(from the
documentation)
When the device lies flat on a table and is pushed on its left side
toward the right, the x acceleration value is positive.
Thanks in advance.
