While playing around with the emulator, I noticed that when trying to view a YouTube video the browser gives an error saying it can not load the page at vnd.youtube:ngc978y6rCU?some=parameters. I don't have an Android device, but by this I can suppose that launching a VIEW intent with the data URI set to vnd.youtube:VIDEO_ID would launch...

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how Intents and intent-filters work, but it seems to me that this should be a strait-forward case. However it's not working. Here is the Intent I'm sending: Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.connectsy.event"); startActivity(i); And here is the intent-filter:...

I'm working on an Android widget that will show the current network state (i.e 1xRTT, EvDo Rev. A, WiMax, etc.). It may seem like a pointless idea, but for whatever the reason, the Evo doesn't differentiate between 1x & EvDo, it just says 3G for both, which is annoying if you're in a fringe 3G area. Anyways, to the point: I have the wid...
