You can use the SMS content provider to read and write SMS messages:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("address", "123456789");
values.put("body", "This is a test message!");
getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values);
also add these in manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"/>
Just set your WebView plugin state on:
webview.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
put your swf file in assets folder and open it in WebView some thing like this:
webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/test.swf");
and simply add this to the tag under your Applications Manifest XML:
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
The Google Analytics SDK for Android makes it easy for developers to collect user engagement data from their apps. Developers can then use the Google Analytics app-tracking reports to measure:
Android supports several configuration qualifiers that allow you to control how the system selects your alternative resources based on the characteristics of the current device screen. A configuration qualifier is a string that you can append to a resource directory in your Android project and specifies the configuration for which the resources inside are designed.
Create your splash.xml file some thing like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/TheSplashLayout" android:layout_gravity="center" > <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/SplashImageView" android:layout_gravity="center" android:src="@drawable/lnxins" > </ImageView> </LinearLayout>
Write your Splash screen java file:
public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
/**
* The thread to process splash screen events
*/
private Thread mSplashThread;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Splash screen view
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
final SplashScreen sPlashScreen = this;
// The thread to wait for splash screen events
mSplashThread = new Thread(){
@Override
public void run(){
try {
synchronized(this){
// Wait given period of time or exit on touch
wait(5000);
}
}
catch(InterruptedException ex){
}
finish();
// Run next activity
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(sPlashScreen, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
stop();
}
};
mSplashThread.start();
}
/**
* Processes splash screen touch events
*/
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent evt)
{
if(evt.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
synchronized(mSplashThread){
mSplashThread.notifyAll();
}
}
return true;
}
}
Create apear and disapear animation xml files:
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <alpha android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator" android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0" android:duration="800" /> </set>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <alpha android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator" android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" android:duration="800" /> </set>
Add your animation as a style to your style resource file:
<style name="Animations" parent="@android:Animation" /> <style name="Animations.SplashScreen"> <item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/appear</item> <item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@anim/disappear</item> </style> </style>
Add this style to your style resource file for a transparent splash activity:
<style name="Theme.Transparent" parent="android:Theme"> <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item> <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item> <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item> <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item> <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item> <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animations.SplashScreen</item> </style>
Add your splash activity to manifest file like this:
<activity android:name="SplashScreen" android:theme="@style/Theme.Transparent"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"></action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"></category> </intent-filter> </activity>
Splash Sample
That’s it…
You have to add this part to your manifest file:
android:manageSpaceActivity=".ActivityOfYourChoice"
and then instead of "Clear Data", there is a button for "Manage Space" which launches ActivityOfYourChoice.
Also you can make a fake activity that do nothing:
public class ActivityOfYourChoice extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
finish();
}
}
You can use this code for making a phone call in your application:
String number = "tel:" + phoneNumber; Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(number)); startActivity(callIntent);
also you have to add this permission to your application manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
Simply change the “android:targetSdkVersion” from “14” to “10” (less then 11), and this problem will be solved.
This is because a theme of “@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar” specified in manifest – with the “android:targetSdkVersion” of “14“, the options menu is being inserted in to the action bar menu, as opposed to the options menu button in the button bar at the bottom of the screen and the theme is removing the activity title, and the action bar.
An open keyboard under your gourdes form is too annoying and takes lots of screen while you design a data entry form in an Android application. To hide soft-keyboard at your form statrup add this tag to your project manifest under activity:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
and it’s gone! (Don’t worry, it will come back when you click on an EditText control)
