Hi! I'm trying to play video's on Android, by launching an intent. The code I'm using is: tostart = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); tostart.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(movieurl), "video/*"); startActivity(tostart); This works on most phones, but not on the HTC Hero. It seems to load a bit different video player. This does play the first ...

I am trying to build an Android Service that should get notified when the user starts playing an MP3.

I read in the Android documentation that by setting my Activity's launchMode property to singleTop OR by adding the FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP flag to my Intent, that calling startActivity(intent) would reuse a single Activity instance and give me the Intent in the onNewIntent callback. I did both of these things, and onNewIntent never fi...

The filetype is not included in the mimetypes, and I tried using <data android:path="*.ext" /> but I couldn't get that to work. ...
I'm writing a simple Android app, and I'd like better control over the navigation/relationship between the activities. I don't want my activities to act like android activities...I don't want them to stack up within the Task.

I have a free and a premium version of the same app (almost same code, same classes with "if"s here and there, different packages in the manifest, same process name in the manifest). The main activity calls a service to execute some stuff, using an IMPLICIT intent. When I install both apps on the phone, it turns out that the premium ac...

Roger, I see that you've been tinkering with camera intents. I'm having real trouble just getting a simple app to tell me when the camera button has been pressed. Do you have some code to help me on my way. Thanks. David ...

We are trying to use the native camera app to let the user take a new picture. It works just fine if we leave out the EXTRA_OUTPUT extra and returns the small Bitmap image. However, if we putExtra(EXTRA_OUTPUT,...) on the intent before starting it, everything works until you try to hit the "Ok" button in the camera app. The "Ok" button j...
Hey there, I'm working on a widget that will change the data it is displaying when a user taps on it. This would normally be easy to deal with, but my app widget provider is handling multiple widget instances that have different sets of data. With that being said, when a user taps on the widget, a PendingIntent is launched that calls th...
