Is it possible to add a button to the right corner of the app title?
e.g., adding a "refresh" button to the title of "Feed: my feeds"?

Ok so I have two BroadcastReceiver registered. When the app is closed they both fire at the appropriate times and do the appropriate things.
If the app is closed then killed (say with an AppKiller), the receivers never receive their broadcasts, and nothing happens.
Presumably the same thing happens if the parent app is killed due to low memory, so how do I ensure those broadcasts are fired/received. The API states that even if the app is killed it should fire, does anyone else have experience with this situation?
If it helps my manifest is:
<!-- receivers for AlarmManager -->
<receiver
android:exported="true"
android:label="Shift roster updating calendar."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.UpdateCalendar"
>
</receiver>
<receiver
android:exported="true"
android:label="Shift roster checking alarm."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.SetWakeup"
>
</receiver>
and nothing esoteric is going on in the AlarmManager/BroadcastReceivers
I am confused as to the difference between the two. In my application I have just used Extends Activity and the application is working perfectly, so what is the purpose of Extends Application?.
Would you use it on the first class you create in the Android application?
Thanks.
Here is how I setup my checked text view. How come no check box appeared?
I also added this but it had not effect:

> android:layout_width="fill_parent"
> android:paddingLeft="2px"
> android:paddingRight="2px"
> android:paddingTop="2px"
> android:layout_height="wrap_content"
> />

I'm up and running in Eclipse, have worked through several tutorials and would like to start developing my first marketable app. Is there anyplace I can find a comprehensive list or catalog of what's available on the Android marketplace? I'd hate to waste a lot of development time building an app that has twelve free versions already available.
Hey there,
I've heard about web scraping software that can take data from a webpage. i'm building an android app and I want to take information from this site www.menupages.ie
All I need is the names of the restaurants, and typing them in myself would be very tedious.
Can someone tell me how i'd go about doing this in eclipse, what methods i need etc.
I dont know anything about it.
Thanks alot.

Title says it all. My app code is starting to get unmanageable and I want to start source control, primarily because I need to branch my code.
What are some good systems that you have used in the past and what would you recommend to me.
Requirements:
Must be free
Must integrate with eclipse
Must work well with android development plugin
I have a site that physically has this directory structure.
-public_html
--conf > contains file conf.php
-SiteFiles
-LiveSite > contains file ConfLive.php
Directory public_html/conf/ contains a file called conf.php
this file contains the following include
include_once('/home/mydir/SiteFiles/LiveSite/conf/ConfLive.iphp');
I want to copy this application to test PCto test it.
Test PC uses XAMPP Apache.
"Root" directory on the test machine is: C:\xampp\htdocs\
My questions:
1. Where is logical path "/home/mydir/" defined?
2. What steps should I take to get this to work on my test machine preferably by server configuration and not changing application.
Thanks.
(PS maybe this question is better posed at Server Overflow site.)
I want to store locations in my Android phone and be able for the application to tell me if I am inside these points&radius.

Hey Everyone,
I was checking out the Google Maps Data API and I was wondering if I can follow their Java Development guide to use it on the Android platform? I want to display routes that I have created on Google Maps on the phone.

How do I add a View dynamically in an android widget?
I realize that the RemoteViews works as a container of updates, but the RemoteViews.addView is only available on API level 7 (and I want my widget to work on HTC Hero phones, which has API level 3).
In my android app I have a Tabhost with a ListView as one of the tabs. By clicking on an item in the ListView (an address) I start an Intent to Google Maps for directions and the choice dialog pops up for google maps, web browser etc. Problem is if I press the hard back button then the launch dialog goes away but also the ListView is cleared. Any idea why?
Does anyone know, if vendors provide or if there is a site where one could download AVD profiles for existing android devices on the market so you can run your apps in the emulator and basically see how they will run on said devices?
I know it's pretty easy to create a new device but it'd be great if one could just download the config file for each device and run it.
It is a common thing to add a color name and a color RGB value in a config xml file for developing an Android application. It is boring sometimes for example, when I want to add color pink, I had to find some tool to show me what the exact RGB value for it and then fill it in that xml file.
I am wondering is there any predefined color file?
Hi,
I would like to know how to start and code a thread manager for my Android App.
My app is going to fill a list with a network I/O and I have to manage threads for that.

Thanks
Are there known issues with navigator.onLine on Android 2.1? I have a Droid on airplane mode, but navigator.onLine appears to be returning true anyway. (I'm using an HTML manifest to cache the page, and its behavior works fine in Mobile Safari and Firefox in offline mode.)
I have an android phone and am thinking of a project in which I will need to modify the operating system and reinstall it to the phone. Is this possible to do so? Can i be sure my phone is not gonna give up on me?
Thanks.
Is there a simple way to tell the default media player to change track back or forward?
I want the ability to send commands to the system media player (Music) to change track back and forward from within my app.
Is there a simple way? Code examples or descriptive explanation please, I have not developed for Android before.
Hello,
I am currently developing an free application (TaskOS ) that allow users to have multitasking and switch easily between applications on their mobile ( like alt+tab in Windows )
That work pretty well and user can launch my application by a long press on the "search" button" by adding this line in the manifest:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH_LONG_PRESS" />
I also succeed to allow to the users to Use the camera button ( they can of course disable that in application settings) and the way to do that is slighlty different:
<receiver android:name=".CameraPressed">
<intent-filter android:priority="10000">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON"/>
</intent-filter>
I am now wondering if there are other ways to launch easily my task switcher?
( long press on Home key, long press on trackball, or any other idea.)
Reading the Google documentation does not help me a lot.
Any other idea/suggestion would be warmly welcome.
Christophe
I am looking for a way to connect toAndroid devices via Bluetooth without user intervention(assuming at least on device is set to "Discoverable"). Since 2.0, it seems the devices prompt for a random pin to be entered when connecting to each other for the first time. I've tried some Bluetooth projects, but none seem to work as the underlying Bluetooth Adapter code always kicks in.
Is there any way around this? Thanks.
