[android-developers] Re: Replace dialer application by installing another dialer app

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Hope it's ok to "barge in" for a related questions, and a not-so-
related one:

1. Dianne - when you say "replace the entire contacts tab activity" -
do you mean
I can write an app that will apear when the user taps the "Contacts"
tab INSIDE
the built-in "Dialer" application ? How ?

2. The not-so-related one - I managed to have my app respond to the
CALL button, but -
it does not do so if I am inside the built-in dialer/contacts app - it
starts calls
from there. Can I make it somehow that EVERY press on the CALL button
launches my app ?

3. I also managed to have my app launched whenever an outgoing call
ends (cause the OS
tries to open the call-log screen), but this means it will also launch
when the user
selects a "missed call/s" notification from the status bar. Actually I
like this.
Problem is - the built-in dialer app removes the missed call
notification when this happens,
and now - since it is MY app that is being launched - the missed call
notification
stays there "forever". Is there a way for me to cause the built-in
dialer app to
remove that notification ?

TIA

[android-developers] Taking OFF the "Missed call/s" notification

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I need to take off the "missed calls" notification issued by the built-
in PHONE application. Since there is no setting in it to NOT display
the notification, I have to do it in my code (unless I missed
somthing... ?)

I thought about launching the built-in call log (thus it will remove
the notification), set a timer (using 'postDelayed' with a
'runnable'), and in the delayed callback launch my own app.

For some reason my own app wont launch from the callback.

This is how I launch the internal call log:

[syntax="java"]public void StartInternalAfterCallHandler()
{
Intent startActivity = new Intent();
startActivity.setAction
("android.intent.action.VIEW");
startActivity.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");

startActivity.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT |
   
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED |
   
//Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP |
   
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);// |
   
//Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP |
   
//Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

startActivity.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/calls");

startActivity.setComponent(new ComponentName
("com.android.contacts","com.android.contacts.DialtactsActivity"));

startActivity(startActivity);
}
[/syntax]

Then I call:

[syntax="java"]
mAsyncAfterCallHandler.postDelayed(mAsyncAfterCallTask, 
1);
[/syntax]

and in the callback:

[syntax="java"]

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(Preferences.NAME,
0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
editor.putInt(Preferences.KEY_OPEN_IN_TAB, 0);
editor.commit();

Intent startActivity = new Intent();
startActivity.setAction
("android.intent.action.MAIN");
startActivity.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");

startActivity.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT |
   
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED |
   
//Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP |
   
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS |
   
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP |
   
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

startActivity.setComponent(new ComponentName
("com.shsh.android.takephone","com.shsh.android.takephone.TAKEphONE"));

startActivity(startActivity);
[/syntax]

In DDMS I see the 'startActivity' fired, but my app wont launch.

Any help ?

TIA

[android-developers] Re: Setup Merchant Account link now available

[shimo...@gmail.com]

I would believe Google are not that easy to trick - the UK address
will probably be checked against the credit card billing address.

Anyway - no point in registering a UK address/credit card for them to
send my money to - how will I get it ?

I tend to think Al's solution is the only current way...

Thanks !

Hi,

Can I do that ?
Without being in the UK ?
Without a citizenship ?

Can you point a tutorial on this ?

[android-developers] Re: Idea for non-US/UK developers with paid apps (was Setup Merchant Account link now available)

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I would like to chime in on this.

First - this is REALLY frustrating - by the time I can sign in and
sellmy apps,
the market may be filled with competitors.

Now - I dont have any problem with competition - I LOVE competition,
and am sure
I can make the best app (otherwise I would not be in this business).
But
if other apps get to the market MONTHS ahead - it makes it harder to
even
impossible to gain the same exposure and market share.

I think I understand the hardship on Google side, but I think they
need to
come up with a solution asap - maybe initiate a solution similar to
the
one suggested here, or hurry and make the arrangements to accept
developers
from all other countries. Go and buy an ESD that handles it - you have
the money...

Or - I will settle for a commitment from Google that they will
eventually
make it so I can sell and get paid here in Israel (I dont mind selling
only
in the US - dont need to sell in Israel), and they let me start
selling NOW,
and accumulate my funds until they can transfer them to me.

Anyway - Al - please keep us updated if you are going to suggest such
an arrangement - I tink I, for one, will be interested.

Thanks !

[android-developers] Re: access to internal telephony

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Can you share the code snippet you use to call, for example -
"212333,4;444" ?

(the comma should yield a "timed" pause, the ';' - a "hard" pause -
waiting for the user to acknowledge before dialing)

Thanks !

[android-developers] Re: access to internal telephony

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Using a DEV phone, seems I can not make calls to numbers containing
extra digits (i.e. pauses - either 'hard' or 'timed'). They are
stripped.

If I start the call from the built-in contacts app using the
ACTION_VIEW
intent and then tapping a phone field with, say - *151,#,1 it is
dialed
ok.

Is there any intent other than ACTION_CALL I need to use to start a
call
to a number  like *151,#,1 to have the device call then send those
extra digits ?

Or is there any specific intent data ? type ? extra ?
Or maybe a formatting ?

TIA

[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to replace or extend the dialer application ?

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I think it's a bug maybe.

Anyway - found a workaround - create a "stub" application (like "Hello
world")
and add to it's manifest file all the same intent-filters you want for
the "real"
app. Install it, make sure you see the "select default" popup for each
intent,
and now you can uninstall the 'stub' app.

Now the "real" app should show in the "Select handler" popup, too.

[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to replace or extend the dialer application ?

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

One more issue - everything was working fine on my ADP1 device.
I selected my app (TAKEphONE) to be the default handler for
this, so every time I pressed the CALL button my app launched by
default.

Then I wanted to check something, so I went to the system settings,
to the "Applications" section, selected my app, and tapped the "clear
defaults"
button.

BUT - now when I press the CALL button - I no longer see the dialog
asking me which app to launch (mine or the Dialer).
Tried removing my app and re-installing - it did not help, either.

How can I restore things to the way they were ?

TIA

[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to replace or extend the dialer application ?

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Thanks a mill !
It's working.

One more question now - is there a way I can toggle the Intent filter
in code (in run-time) ?

What I am aiming at is adding this as a setting in my application,
allowing the user to decide if he/she wants my app to replace the
dialer for the PHONE button.
If I declare the intent-filter in the AndroidManifest file - it's
"hard-coded" there...

TIA

[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to replace or extend the dialer application ?

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Did that, and it seems to work, but -

Whenever the device is in the built-in dialer application, the intent
is
not fired when I press the CALL button, so I basically lose control
over
the button after every call (since the device auto-launches the built-
in
dialer after any call ends).

Anything I can do against this ?

While on this subject - I added the code to be notified on calls
ending,
wanting to have the device launch MY application instead of the built-
in dialer
when calls end. I was able to launch 3rd party apps when calls end,
but not
launch my own app. Any tips ?

TIA

Hi,

What ?!

I was told at these forums it can not be done for the PHONE button...

How ?
Is it the same code as for the camera button ?
What permissions are needed ?

If I can do this it would be a GREAT feature for my app !

Hi,

How about an option to assign pressing the PHONE button to launch my
app ?
(when there are no pending incoming calls)

TIA

"su is there on the device, but ro.secure is set to 1, so you can not
do "adb remount""

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Deployment of native C library

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Did as you suggested from my Windows PC (using adb shell).
The 'mount' command did not yield any error.
But - saw no change in the \system attributes (using ls -l).
And - when I try to do "adb push MySans.ttf \system\fonts\MySans.ttf"
I get an error message:
"failed to copy ...: read-only file system"

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

[android-developers] Android Dev Phone 1 - can I gain access to replace/add system fonts ?

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I bought the Android Dev Phone 1, to use it to develop apps, and port
my existing Palm OS applications to the Android platform.

Amongst other things, I thought I'd have access to it's internals -
mainly to replace the system fonts with ones including Hebrew
characters - so I can add Hebrew contacts support to my apps.

I cant seem to be able to replace/add the fonts in the system/fonts
directory - since it's read-only.

Is there a way around this on the Dev Phone ?

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Deployment of native C library

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Thanks !

Where do I issue this command from ?

When I do this from PTerminal on my Android device it hangs, then
issues
a warning box saying:

"Activity pTerminal (in application pTerminal) is not responding""

Do you have a Dev Phone ?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: start your application on camera button

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

So are you saying it cant be done ?

There is no way I make my app launch when the user presses the CALL
button ?

Only access to 3rd party is by tapping their icon on the screen ?

Or can I pretent to be the built-in app ?

TIA

[android-developers] Re: Returning to my application after a call ends

[shimo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Can't I do something while in the CALL_STATE notification callback ?
It's being called no matter what the user did and what app he/she
is in right now.

I was able to launch a 3rd application (the "snake" game) from within
that callback, but not launch 'myself'.

Thanks.
