Another way to do this is the following: File->New->Android Project-> With in the New Project Screen, in the "Contents" area, choose the "Create project from Existing Source" option and point it to the your source tree that houses the AndroidManifest.xml file. It should work. Balwinder Kaur Open

[android-developers] Re: launch an app with widget

If you are only interested in a specific application, you can study the logcat output while launching that application. It will tell you the component that is necessary to launch it. Looking at the Settings manifest: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Settings.git;a=blob;f=An

[android-developers] Re: launch an app with widget

Please don't hard-code component names of other packages. Those are implementation details, and you can very well break at some point in the future. The Settings class has a number of intent actions to launch standard settings panels; for other things, you should figure out the right intent proto

Hi DG, This is the right forum to ask. You will find the full terms at http://code.google.com/android/adc/ once they've published them. I know they mention June in their timeline, but they also mention "this timeline is subject to change until the Official Rules are published." Oh well! Yusuf Sa

[android-developers] Re: can't use mouse click for ZoomControl

Neither mouse input not x86 CPUs are supported Android features, so this is not appropriate for the android-developers group. Clearly there is something wrong with whatever patch you have that adds mouse support for your device, and questions about that should be asked on android-porting. On Thu,

[android-developers] Re: launch an app with widget

Sorry, my mistake. Of course for settings it is better to use the appropriate intent action. But for many applications, the launcher intent is simply MAIN (in category LAUNCHER), so there is no way to differentiate between different applications, except by their component - right? (or is it easil

[android-developers] Re: Documentation inconsistency in Service.onBind() intent extras availability

I would really suggest that you look at the remote service API demos, this shows a variety of things you can do between interfaces. It isn't exactly the pattern here, but it shows using a secondary interface and passing it across the first interface. On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 3:10 AM, Gert wrote:

[android-developers] Re: Documentation inconsistency in Service.onBind() intent extras availability

MyPool is an aidl interface, and you can pass references to such interfaces across processes. The code I wrote was intended to be pseudo-aidl code, not Java code, though I realize now that is probably not clear. On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 6:06 AM, Gert wrote: > > That would be impossible, unless an

[android-developers] Re: launch an app with widget

The launcher doesn't have any hard-coded component names; it does a query of the system for all activities implementing MAIN LAUNCHER. On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 9:52 AM, Peli wrote: > > Sorry, my mistake. Of course for settings it is better to use the > appropriate intent action. > > But for many a

[android-developers] How to know where a HorizontalScrollView is flinted?

Hello folks, Could somebody teach me how to get current left x-position relative to a HorizontalScrollView view after a Flint event is processing by HorizontalScrollView's factory onFlint handler? There seems to me no such API in current SDK. Am I correct? Thank you!! --~--~-~--~~--

[android-developers] Activity Analysis

For what it is worth, I have an analysis of the Activity life cycle at http://sites.google.com/site/mysticlakesoftware/android-surfaceview-template which includes some skeleton code for an application. I know there are a lot of other sites that present this information but I may have a slightly di
