Good day:
I installed swf player, put a swf file in Download folder, when I click on it it playes , I decided to find a shortcut program (without a launcher), so tried any cut, shortcut created but small and keep saying app is not installed, same for better cut, app not installed. :
I used :
Action:android.intent.action.View.
Data: file://sdcard/Download/myfile.swf
Also tried file://mnt/sdcard/Download/myfile.swf
Type: flash/*
Then tried other thing still no way, they both just create small, not working shortcut.
Then tried file jump, it worked, it created the shorcut and when clicking on it it lunches the swf player,,,,,,,,,, but still the shortcut is small. Got the smali, everything but seems hard to figure out why the shortcuts are small ?!!!
Any suggestion to get the right size , with specific image and without a launcher ?
Thank you kindly.
Any cut or better cut

On my other Android devices I can simply put a . in front of folders that I don't want the gallery to display (such as avatar pics and shortcut icons and what not) and it wouldn't. Then I could use eStrongs file manager or similar to browse to them when I needed them. I popped a 2GB MicroSD card I had laying around that already had some files on it from another Android device and ALL of the folders with images are showing up in the gallery... even those with a . in front of them.
Is there any way on an Archos 101 to set the Gallery to NOT display items inside of a '.' folder? Seems this is default with other Android devices so I'm hoping it's at least an option on these.
Ideas?
Thanks for the help.
Moved to general as not android development.

Create a 0kb file called .nomedia. Place it in the folder of items you don't want shown. That should work.

Doesn't appear to work. I searched before posting this and found a few things about .nomedia and thought maybe you had to rename the actual folders w/the images within to .nomedia to hide them? Seems like this would be a PITA way to go about it.
Am I doing something wrong? Any other ideas?

It should work just fine. Did you name the file specifically .nomedia? No ext name. Did you reboot to see if that helps? Did you put the file in the folder of the items you don't want showing?
Here is some more specific instructions (I didn't write them):
1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
2. Save the blank file with the filename “.nomedia”, make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing picture files you don’t want to show up in the gallery. (Example: If you want to block aDyno image files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/aDyno folder)
4. Reboot your phone and hopefully the unwanted files should no longer be viewable.

Alright, w/more information I tried it again. I created a file just using a file browser on the device. This time around I created a file in Notepad on my PC called .nomedia and made sure the filetype was set to 'all files' before saving and that there was no extension (deleted the .txt) and then copied that file to my Archos 101. I first tried in the folder on the SD card that contained all the folders in question. I rebooted and it didn't seem to help. I then copied the file into each folder and rebooted. Still no dice. Whenever I open Gallery all the folders and images are still there. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to clear a cache or something or delete any tumbnails or ?? I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I keep searching and am coming up with nothing. This was SO easier on my other Android devices as I just put a period in front of the name of the folders I didn't want to display and it was done. Simple as that. This is a royal PITA and I feel I'm not making any progress.
In the market search Studiokum or .nomedia. whit this app is easy control. Nomedia files

Do either of these allow you to simply hide w/o signing in or encryption? I found two other programs & both required this which I don't want to deal with. Just seems odd that others are saying this is working for them & I'm not having any luck. I don't mind installing an app as long as it works but I'm not sure why my Archos 101 would be different than the rest.

Yes! This is EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks!
I have a problem with my mp3's on my harddisk, or rather, the problem occurs when I try to copy them to my phone (on the sd-card if that matters). My cd's are ripped and for each cd, the is a .pls file indicating the order of the files (the files are not prefixed 01, 02, etc.).
My problem is that I have found no player on android (S2) that can use my .pls files (they are just text files with 1 file on each row, relative path) and the .pls file is placed in the same folder as the mp3 files. Then each cd has their own folder.
I have tried winamp, poweramp, builtin prog, video players and more. No program can understand the contents of my .pls files, but many do accept .pls files. How must the files be built in order to work? (format)
I have also tried with .m3u files and .m3u8 files, but it is the same story as with .pls.
I am at a loss. How do I transfer playlists from my pc (.pls or .m3u) to android?
Also, why is it that winamp cannot even see my mp3 files? Is it because I place them om the SD-card? It only finds a couple provided by Samsung.

You might give AudioPlayer a try.
- free version has ads, but runs ok without internet connection
- available on SlideME (direct download apk file, no google account needed) or Market
I tried AudioPlayer 1.10 on Android 2.3.6 (Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2). It will read m3u playlists with relative paths, whether opened directly in player or passed from file manager.
Playlist editing is limited. You can't view the list or reorder items, but you can remove the current item. Saving a changed list seems buggy. When I saved right away in the directory that comes up, I got relative paths. But when I back out some levels and come back to that same directory and save, then I get absolute paths that begin "../../../../../../../../sdcard". So it seems like it works best if you already have your playlists made.
I also tried renaming the m3u list to .pls (and added .pls as a playlist extension in player settings). This .pls list worked if the player opened it directly, but not if I went through the file manager.
For now, I'm keeping it as one of my installed players. It is simple to use. I like it for what it does. It has multiple seek buttons (you can set the time interval) which are handy for navigating long sound files. And it opens the now obscure RealAudio format for me, once I added .rm .ram file extensions in the settings (though this decoding might be dependent on hardware).
hi guys, the problem i have is this:
i'd like to open *.epub file attached to an email (or if i find it in the system file manager), just tapping on it,(like IOS do) and even if i've the app that can open this file (i've installed moon+reader and alkido) under file like the *.epub appear only the button 'info' and if i tap on it, it says 'no app for this file' .
this problem is for all the ebook files epub/mobi/ecc...ecc.. and rar archives!
another question :
how can i open the book i've already bought in google play books?!
it seems it can open books only if you download it from the 'play books store'.
i find a "solution" even if it is not really what i expect, in some file manager ("Root Explorer", "ES Gestore File" and "X-plore") you can choose tha app that have to open the file, but they didin't memorize that setting, and all the time you wanna open that file, you have to do a long tap on it and than choose 'open with' and than the app you want to use!
sorry for my english!
i hope i'd been able to explain my problem!(and to find a solution)
Try uninstalling aldiko and the other book readers then reinstall them.
When you've done this open aldiko and search your epub file, it will add to your book shelf!
but it will not find an ebook attached to an email!
even if i unistall and reinstall the ebook readers!

youll have to save the attachment from the email first then open it
i use gmail as email manager, and im not even able to save it! i just can tap 'info'
i'd like to find a 'windows like' solution , for this extension use this app!!
and not all the time 'save' than open a specific file manager , find the file and funally open it!it's boring!
Hi! Can somebody please tell if it is possible to create a folder on the desktop of Galaxy Note where I could put my favorite files of different types - mp3s, docs, videos etc?
It is very simple to create a new desktop folder but I have no idea how to fill it with the files I want
Also, is it possible to create a desktop shortcut to a data folder (with music etc)? Thank you very much in advance for help.
The only way to fill a folder with files is:
Make a folder in your SD card with the files you want
Download Astro file manager
Long tap on home screen
Choose 'add shortcut'
Find astro shortcut
Choose the folder
So you have a shortcut of your folder, but you'll open it with astro....
Hope I helped you

Thank you very much! Actually I was hoping to do it without an extra app, but this is also a very good solution.
Hi there,
I made a quick search about this, but I wasn't able to find a complete answer.
Just wanted to share how to view/share/save Facebook videos to other apps (i.e. whatsapp).
The reason why I prefer doing this over using an app, is because some "video downloading" apps require you to login inside their app, and for me that doesn't seem safe.
Requirements
Facebook App
Root Explorer (or similar)
Rooted phone
Procedure
Open your Facebook App, and watch completely the video (or wait till it finishes loading).
Use Root Explorer to go to (Bookmarking this makes it much easier):
Code:
data/data/com.facebook.katana/files/video-cache
Arrange the folders according to Date (so the latest date/time is the video you just saw).
Copy the file inside the folder (i.e. 00000000), to a safe folder back in your SD or extSD
Rename the "0000000" file, to whatever name you like and using the extension .mp4 (i.e. video.mp4)
Watch or share the video from root explorer (long-press and share)
Notes
I believe is safe to delete the whole cache folder to work better
I have only used the .mp4 format and it has been effective so far
You can't watch the video inside the Cache folder (at least w/my phone)
Enjoy:fingers-crossed:
