Hi, I'm working on an activity which other 3rd parties want to use in their own apps, via intents. Right now this activity is catching urls via an intent filter, like this: <activity android:name=".MyActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action> <category android:name="android.intent...
I'm using intents to launch Google Navigation: Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("google.navigation:q=" + location)); startActivity(i); location is a string with GPS coordinates. Google Navigation pops up nicely and plots the route. Can they return some type of callback when the user has reached their destination? ...
Amendment: This appears to be a problem with the particular audio file I was using. Other applications on the droid such as the Astro file manager also fail to play it, and if I replace it in the package with an AAC file, it plays it without error. I encoded the problematic audio file to MP3 format from a WAV file, using LAME on ubuntu...

I'm getting very low framerate with OpenGL ES. If the model is far from the camera I get like 35 fps, but if it fills entire screen (say, a skybox) I'm getting 6-8 fps. It even happens when rendering a skybox alone and nothing else. Is that actually an issue with the emulator? I'm using Windows XP SP3 on a AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 3800 ...

The only way I could come up with is to keep a reference to the dialog and have my Activity implement a getter method to let testcases access the dialog. Is ther...

I've tried the Tab Layout example, and I've also fixed the few typos in the example (and added all the activities to the manifest). However, when I run it on the emulator I get a NullPointerException on the first line that says tabHost.addTab(spec); So my question, of course, is. What is wrong with the example that would cause th...
Hi Folks I use a custom Parcelable to carry some data to a BroadcastReceiver. Here is what i do: I register my intent and set the extra Parcelable on it along with an extra classloader (intent.setExtraClassLoader(..)). Next i schedule the execution of the broadcast via an AlarmManager. So when the AlarmManager fires it looks at my int...
