Is there any way to create a context menu fucntion for the copy paste menu pop-up that gives you the option to lookup the selected word in the Google dictionary right on the spot. There is a cydia tweak for the iPhone that just came out recently that adds this function called googledict which is pretty sweat because you don't even have to leave the app that you are in, you just select the word and hit lookip and a pop-up shows the definition. I know that the two OS's are very different but I was sure if this is possible and that it would just take a dev to create something like this?

I am developing an app that sends a text to a group of people (my fellow firefighters) when we get a call. I have everything working but I have to hard code the phone numbers in.
What I want to do is to be able to hit menu and then 'select contacts' or whatever. In the new screen, I just want a simple contact selection with a checkbox so I can select/deselect people and the rest of the program runs with that list so I don't have to hard code the phone number, export, move apk to my phone, install, etc. every time I have to change something.
I have googled for about 3 days using many various terms and can only find guides to a single contact selection. None of them allow you to select multiple contacts.
Does anyone know a way to make this happen? I am pretty new to java so I don't know much about it.
Eclipse with the android base 2.2 (SDK v. 8)
Any help is appreciated.
Any help please? I am quickly coming up to this part of my project and it's the last thing I need to do.
I'm making a program where it will send a text message to a select group of people at a push of a button for fire departments. Right now, all of the numbers are hard coded in so if they want to add or remove someone from the list, they have to go through me and I have to send them the program every time.
I want to make it so that a contact list will come up and they can check/uncheck the people they want to send it to. I have searched for hours on end and can not find a clear (or even a rough for that matter) tutorial on how to accomplish this. There are a ton on how to select a single user, but non on how to select multiple people.
Here is what I need:
-Contact list that will select multiple people
-Selection sticks after closing the program, restarting phone, etc.
If anyone is willing to help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it and I might be able to slip you a little cash to go along with it.
Thanks
Bump. Anyone?
So what are you doing so far? Are you reading anything from the actual phone's contacts, or just using a hard-coded list? Do you even need actual phone's list, or are you maintaining a separate list independent of the phone's contacts, but modifiable by the user?

Right now, I have a hard coded list in XML format that the program loops to send the SMS out. I would like to use the phone list to be able to select the contacts so I can add/remove people on the fly instead of having to be at my computer.
So far, The farthest I have been able to get on the contact list is using this to populate the list but that is only single selection.
Just a bump in the right direction:
Use a listview with an adapter and choose simple list item multiple choice...

I'm a heavy user of deviantART, including the mobile site on my android phone. The only thing that I miss is the ability to receive notifications on my phone when I get new deviations and messages in my inbox. deviantART haven't released any API yet, but I just thought of something that just might work, at least in theory. I'm not a developer, and I don't pretend to be, so please correct me if I'm wrong about anything.
The idea is quite simple in theory. The app loads the mobile page in the background and checks my inbox for new messages and gives a notification if any has arrived, possibly even the kind of message (deviation, journal, comment, reply, activity or note). When the notification is tapped, you would be sent to the corresponding section of the site in your standard browser.
I took the liberty of looking through the code on the mobile site and found some lines that tells me that it might just work. I couldn't find a way to post it here though, even though I used the
Code:
tag. I got a message that told me that I'm not allowed to post outside links.
I realize that this would have an impact on the battery life, but if you set it to look around once an hour, it would still be about the same, if not less number of times that I manually open the site on my phone every day.

Have you taken a look at the deviantART api? I'm unable to post the link to the api page but if you go to the deviantART page on your pc and scroll down to very bottom of the page there is link called Developers.
Thanks
OK, after browsing around I can see this forum is for hard-core tinkerers and "rooting" is over my head right now, but since the forum description says
"For all your questions relating to the Barnes n Nobel Nook Tablet"
I'm going to ask my basic question anyway ...
How do you permanently get rid of the wall paper images that come on the Nook?
You can delete them from the "My Media" picture gallery but they come back every time you reboot. I have the "Open Explorer" app and have looked through every directory it shows me, hoping to b able to find and delete them once and for all, but I can't find them.
I know this is probably quite basic but please someone take pity on me and tell me how to getrid of these pesky, unwanted images for good.
Thankyou.

I didn't load stock rom to find the locations because you are not rooted and I don't believe you have the access you wish. Here is a paste from the the play store about Open Explorer. "Superuser/Root ability to list/read system folders (no system write yet)"
Good Luck!
I decided to load stock rooted 1.4.2 and find the system location of the stock wallpapers. /system/media/wallpapers/
you won't have access without root. Just forget that those exist until you decide to root; they take little space!
I just recently switched to a Moto X from an iPhone 5, and I am looking for the one feature that I used every day on my iPhone. The speak selection feature. On iOS you can select any text, in basically any app, and click "speak" from the context menu. The device will read the text back to you without kicking you out of the app you were using or anything like that.
I found a similar app for Android, it's called Easy Text to Speech. However, this app works by monitoring the clipboard. Is there perhaps a way to do this without having to use the clipboard. For instance, by using the share option, but without having to switch to another program. I want to be able to browse the internet, select what I want to be read, and have it read to me without getting out of the browser or the app that I am using.
Perhaps there is a framework for Android for adding custom contextual commands?
Thanks for any help.
