Hi, You should not be seeing errors in the platform so there should be no need to download the Android source in order to debug your application. Please reply with full error that you are getting, it should be pointing to the line in your code. Rgds Gerard On Dec 15, 5:01 am, frankw wrote: >

[android-developers] Re: GK:How to Kill all Activity at a time ?

I've implemented a "Sign Out" function before which was much like exit except we still wanted the initial login screen to display. You can try to open your activities with startActivityForResult and in onActivityResult check if you were sent an exit code you chose, then call finish in every ac

[android-developers] WebView "web page not available" after running awhile:

Hey there! So, I have this simple app that contains a WebView object. My code basically tells my WebView object to load some pages every minute or so. The problem is, after the application runs for about 9-10 sites, every time I ask the WebView object to load a new URL I get a "Web page not avai

[android-developers] Adding Custom Data Types to Contacts

I find the documentation on custom data types for contacts very sparse and the only example I can find in the documentation doesn't seem to work. I am trying to add a custom field to all my contacts, called "isBusiness", which will hold a true or false. I want to be able to add this field and set

The wallpaper is stored in a private directory of the system that is not accessible to users or apps. On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 6:15 AM, PopSandwich wrote: > I realize this isn't exactly a programming question. However I seem > unable to discover this information elsewhere, so thanks if anyone can

[android-developers] Re: Facebook login fail

I spent some time with this a couple of weeks ago. I recall there is a warning on the download page that it is alpha and not to be used in production. I was able to get it to login to Facebook and process an extended permission, and post to my wall. However I could not get it to process a logout

[android-developers] Re: Cannot receive UDP in mobile network

Hi ! Some operators will block UDP packets, for example I know that O2 UK used to do this and this meant that streaming on O2 was not possible (its no longer the case as they have unblocked it). But basically this is an issue is with the network carrier. Trying changing carrier ? Regards Gerard

[android-developers] Re: Does Android has a Touchscreen requirement?

No actually, I think I recall an Android engineer here say it wasn't safe to assume a touch screen. If not a touch screen it would have to be a trackball type of deal. Of course, in the current market most devices support touchscreen. It would be a good idea to support both though. On Dec 15, 3

Re: [android-developers] Re: Accessing contact's phone numbers

Please be more specific: we all know there were some issues with the 2.0 SDK, which is why we released the 2.0.1 version of the SDK. So the real question is: does your code work on real Droids? It's expected to. However! Using the People.CONTENT_URI on a 2.0 phone is a really bad idea: that URI

[android-developers] Re: How to Read/Write .CSV

Doesn't sound like an Android question to me, just look for Java CSV samples. If you need some Android examples for file IO those are plentiful. Here for example is how to write to your apps private directory: FileOutputStream fos = context.openFileOutput(fileName, Context
