Also is it necessary to have an SD card to perform the update? I dont have an SD card with me right now, I tried performing the update and I get an 'install failed' error. I've name the file to 'update.zip' as people have mentioned and place it at the root of my phone

Does this fix common issues found in the MM? Like the lip sync issue, notification issue and the noise cancellation video recording issue?

And how would I do that?

MM? Do I have to root the phone just to update it manually?

Im in the UK and not sure if we have received the update over here yet.

Okay Sso I've just ordered the lenovo p2. I was looking for a mid-range/budget phone under the £200 price mark and found this and several others. After checking and comparing the phones in this range, I decided to buy this (even though the camera is pretty rubbish). Now upon further...

I bought a s4 from a friend. the phones working perfectly but can't use the data network. I called the company of my SIM card, they sent a text message for the settings of the data network and it still doesn't work. I'm suspecting it's because of the firmware because the phone is from India...

Yeah I think you should write a tutorial. It'll help the community.

Sorry but im a bit new to android programming. What does API mean? Is it like Android version 2.2, 2.3, 4.1, 4.3 etc? And how can I make an API?

Oh ok. Thanks for the reply. Right now, im learning SQL since thats what most servers use. Then I'll probably get a server and experiment with it, although I have no idea on how create an instant messaging app :eek: Im pretty sure theres guides on the interwebs though

Im planning on building an android app. Its like a 'mini' social networking site that users can upload their pics, messages etc but im having trouble knowing how to 'start off'.. Servers, SQL, PHP and those types are not my thing, i have never came close to them as I have never done anything...

thanks for the info. Just runned it, everythings working smooth for now. Any idea on how to make the android system recognise/link the days of the week on my string? I did have a read through this but didn't quite understand it. I have a feeling that I should be using something got to do with...

I do plan on making the app on permenantly on portrait mode so I don't think the orientation would be any problem even when the user switches to landscape. Why would I need to convert my activity to fragmentactivity? What does this do? Also my min sdk is set to api level 8 (2.2 i believe)...

Hey guys, im on the process of building my app. Basically, so far, this is what should happen: The user presses a button and a dialogbox appears. In the dialogbox, the user selects the days in which the reminder shall remind him. (If that makes sense...). This is my Java code: package...

Ok guys, i think im ready to go to the journey of building my app. With the basic knowledge I have and Google by my side, I'd say I'm ready... or am I? Ok, basically my app is basically like a planner, the user is presented with a calendar and the user clicks on a date on the calendar and a...

Ok so I made my first tab class. Has 3 tabs. Everything works fine but was wondering how make put a class into one of the tabs. This is my class that contains the tabs: public class TABS extends Activity { override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated...

Thanks for the suggestion. I dont really find thenewboston confusing. About 80% of the time I know what's happening now since I know the basics of android (apart from the graphics part). Just having some trouble learning and remembering new methods and statements.

Thanks for your help guys. I followed Chris95x8's advice since its only one line of code and really, who can deny one line of code?? Anyways, took a few tries to make it work but finally did it. I put that statement after the set content view but got errors and plus that statement is...

Ok so im just practising my android skills. What I did was basically make an app that lets the user choose what image to set as the wallpaper or the background of the app. Ive set the wallpaper up but couldnt find a way to setting the background up for the app/activity. XML: <?xml...

Sorry keep on forgetting to include it. XML: <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"...

Im starting to create my app, well the layout of the app. My app will consist of Tabs on the top part of the screen. Question is, how do I do that? I know its simple but yet I cant find the answer. Ive googled it, tried various methods, still errors. The TabActivity has been deprecated so I...

Thanks for the help. Was about to post a question on how to code it using the wallpapermanager method but figured out with a little help from google :) Just added this code on: WallpaperManager mywallpaper = WallpaperManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext()); try{...

Im trying to make this app where the user is presented by 5 pictures, the user clicks on one of the picture and then clicks on the button which applies the selected wallpaper to the background. This is the the code: import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import...

So im following this guys tutoirals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OSfxz0iWkI&list=PL4695D1A275CDEE4A (Watch 1.12 and 1.13) I understand all of those concepts he used but Im still confused about the android:weight and android:weightSum functions (if that's what you call them). Could someone...

Thanks guys for your co-operation, I just created the splash page and linked the button to the other layout. Got error but fixed them. It was good practice. Didn't know running the app from your device instead of the emulator would be soo easy!! And not to mention less laggy.

Im going to download this as this has everything bundled together: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Thanks for all your suggestions. I think I'm going to start fresh since Ive got more knowledge now. I'll take all your advices on board and if things go wrong, i'll post my problem here.

I just deleted everything apart from my project before reading your reply... I'll download it again and run my project again. I didnt get any red x by the way.

You mean that the error has nothing to do with my app? But now it wont let me run it since im getting that error!! I actually deleted EVERYTHING again and now im going to start fresh again (at least its good practise). Could you give me the links to get the eclipese and the androis sdk/adt...

actually I just checked the logcat and I do infact have 1 error. I attached the screenshot of it:

Ive actually done that yesterday since something went wrong with the saving of my project so my project was deleted. Today I started over. Guess im going to have to start from fresh. Oh by the way, can you have a look over here and answer my question...

Nope, that's the weird thing. I think there is something wrong with the emulator since it does lag alot when I run it and also I cant use the home button, back button and the search button on the emulator...

Nope, that doesn't work. I don't know why but I have a feeling its something got to do with my emulator. I think its not set up right..

Basically I created a button on my app which links it to another java class. I already setted the layout for the java class using the setContentView method. But whenenever I click on the button, it doesn't take me to that java class. Im still practising right now but ive gone through the whole...

EDIT = nevermind, figured out whats wrong. But the message is now appearing, Ive attached the dialog box that keeps on popping up. I wanted to closse the ADT but that messages keeps on coming up despite me pressing the red square button to cancel the actions....

Ok so yesterday I was making a android app. Nothing to fancy, just making a splash screen appear when the user launches my app. I saved it and runned it with the emulator. Was working great. I then started linking the buttons that were on my app to the xml layouts and java files etc. I then...

Just finished watching the beginner section of Java from his vids. Probably going to watch the 'intermediate' vids tomorrow or probably forget about watching the vids and just read the book...

Yeah, I gotta admit, when I looked at the android sections I felt as if I wont even have the chance to build an android app since theres over 200 vids and theres too much to learn but then you said I wouldnt even have to watch nearly more than half of them so that lifted up my spirit :) But im...

Ahh okay. Thanks. So yeah, i'll probably finish with the bucky vids, then go the link I posted to reinforce my Java skills then go to the head first book. Then I'll probably go to the link you sent me although the link you sent me seems a bit too 'intimidating'... so I'm thinking of referring to...

:eek: Ive been spending most of my time recently learning about GUI in Java... I feel wasted. Thanks for the help though. Much appreciated. I'll probably still finish the bucky vids and then move onto the head first Java book. Does that book contain everything I need to know in order to build a...

hey there. Im currently having difficulty learning about event handlers. I know what they do but im just confused on how to use them. This is the framework of a typical '.addItemListener(){}' method: .addItemListener( new ItemListener(){ public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent...

yep, im just currently following the bucky tutorials (thenewboston.org) right now. Ive actually got that book and read a few chapters. Its a good book but I didn't understand some parts of it. Thats why im going through all the bucky Java tutorials and then going to read the book so I have a...

Yeah, im just self teaching myself Java. I know a basic C++. I dont really want to study computer science in college/university since the fee of the course is so overpriced for the course and to be honest, I see no point in studying it since you can learn off from the internet. Thats just my...

I guess for the time being I'll use MIT AI since the app I want to create is not that advanced. But there is a feature that I would like to put in my app later on when I learn Java since that feature is WAY TO COMPLICATED for me to put into my app for now... How long did it take you to learn...

Ok guys, im currently learning Java and I'm still learning the basics. I'll say I know about 80% of the basics things in Java. I am really desperate to create my own app and then I stumbled upon the 'MIT App Inventor' (MIT AI). Its basically a simiplified way on creating a android app. Just drag...

Ok so im planning to build my first ever app. Cant really tell what I'm going to make since there's too many 'Zuckerbergs' around :D Just kidding. This forum is AWESOME! Ok so im currently learning JAVA. I have basic knowledge of C++ (I know how to build a basic caluclator, use loop functions...

This has probably been asked countless times and I have googled around and found alot of answers that contradict each other. I have a few good app ideas that I would like to develop however I am not really educated in the coding part of technology. Im more of a hardware wiz... Anyways, I am...

I havent really programmed anything other than basic 'things' that requires C++. Basically, I want to create a Live Wallpaper but dont know where to start, Ive searched on google and have found many answers but I want to create a live wallpaper from scratch (e.g. programming it, adding codes...

Where is that thread where it showed the anticipated games coming out this year? I remember seeing but can't find it now...

I know this might not help but could you tell me how good heavy 3d gaming was when you first installed the ROM. Did you play games like GTA:VC/GTA 3/Modern Combat 3/4 / Batman Dark Knight Rises etc without NO LAG or with minimal lag? Im on dixperia 2 and out of the 3 ROMs ive been on, its...
