[Q] It's possible read (and write to) Android browser bookmarks? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've done this app Bookmarks Easy Import that import pc bookmarks (and folders too) in Android bookmarks but it required root because it read and write directly an Android database.
Please, someone know if is possible read and write Android bookmarks from b4a or java application (via API?) in a non-rooted phone?
Thanks

Have you seen this example code:
Here should be the link but I am not allowed to post it. So search google for
"Accessing Data With Android Cursors" com.android.broswer.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS
It should be the first result.
Did you give you app the correct permissions?
By the way, do you plan to release the source code of your app?

Thanks for the reply ,
I know it can be done with a root device.
I was interested to see if it was possible to read and write Android bookmarks without root to make my program more usable; for now it seems impossible.
May be a permission issue...I'm studying.

How to install multiple instances of the same .apk

I was tinkering and editing an apk, and i managed to compile it and install it fine and it works and is suited to me. So i was wondering ( not too good with xmls ), is it possible to edit the manifest file to rename the apk so I can install multiple copies ( i.e. have the original unmodified one and the modified one at the same time ). I need this for testing purposes. Which lines do i need to edit exactly so the phone doesn't give me the "installing this application will replace the current..." warning, so I can multiple instances of it?
Hope I'm being clear on what exactly I need, any help is appreciated. Cheers
Edit : Just found a post from this guy on a simillar thread that i couldn't find using search

It is not a simple matter.
APKs are managed by package name, not by file name, but you can't simply change the package name in the manifest of a compiled APK.
Even assuming you manage to do it without messing up the file, which is not a simple task, there will still be code referring to the package name, so the app will crash.

So is this true ?
Yes it is, I've tried.

Moving to Q&A
Yeah. Even if you could modify the package name, there could be hardcoded references to this application's intents within the source, which could cause problems when you realise you'll have to also change all of the intent-filters as well.
Its probably more trouble than its worth, as you'll be spending most of your time working out bugs introduced by your editing the APK.
I know its not exactly what you're after but why not try to run the modified app in the emulator on ur computer?

Yeah, thought so myself. Used the emu for a while, but It's so damn slow, can't compare it to actual testing. Nvm, I've dropped the matter anyway. Thanks for the reply

Application to Access word,ppt,pdf files on cloud

Hi,
I need to create a application .It will be acting as a cloud interface.It will have the following features-
0.create user specific folders.
1.List all files in the folder from the cloud
2.download a particular file
3.delete a file
4.update a file
I have seen many cloud service offering rest apis. But I dont understand how to approach this solution. Can anyone give me a overview of what are the things I need to do and which cloud service would be best suited.Please give me a brief view how to architect the solution.
I know I can code this , I just need a guide how to build. Please someone help

What cloud service? Your own? Is there an api? Will there be a database? Will you login?
clarification

Not my own cloud service. I will buy/try any cloud service that will provide me the features.Database will be required or not that I am not sure about.as I said I know I can code but dont understand how to approach the solution.
What I need in the app in a glance-
1.user logins
2.user sees all the files he owns in a list
3.user can upload a new file,delete existing file
4.update a particular file
So,the cloud as I understand needs private storage for each login.I will be using a single cloud account so,I guess it will be separate folders for each users.
I ask suggestion for what cloud service to use and how to build the solution.
anybody ?

Honestly the issue isn't helping. Anything that I can tell you will be inside the android docs. You need a public ( or internal if on the same network) server to connect your app to. How to connect? Plenty of ways, custom ports, proxies. Then you need to program the GUI elements to connect to the db. Most likely the db would hold links to the files on a file server. When the app opens you list the files from the db according to that authenticated user. This is just a simply set up. As far as code, you need to do the leg work or it would be someone else's app. You have a question about a specific function or class. That would be more easy to answer. This though, you kinda need to tinker and figure it out on your own using the android documentation.

[Q] Contact Sync for Facebook

Hello guys,
Contact Sync for Facebook got an update to 1.0.2 which adds StartApp and stuff which can read/write your browser history/bookmarks, I failed to read the "what's new part" and didn't notice the new permissions for accessing of the browser history. Therefore I would like to go back to the version 1.0.1 but for some reason I can't find the APK to download somewhere.
Anyone mind to extract it for me, please?
Many thanks!
With extract I just mean to get the version 1.0.1 apk from your phone and give me a link to it

looking as well. SA besterds!
The dev has given permission to remove the StartApp code from his App page-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
"If you don't like the adds, you can download the source code from GitHub and remove them."
beyond my abilities ATM.

I think, if have all necessary files, you need to compile a project from android studio.
There are several topics that will help you.

From the way you worded it it sounds more like you have a decompiled apk, not the source code for the apk. Depending on what you want to edit you may need the actual source code to make the changes. What are you trying to do?

What you are trying to do is considered cracking an app which makes it warez. This is banned on this site. You will find no help doing what you want. As for decompiling and recompiling an apk there are tut all over the site. Search and you fill find what you need. But take this as your warning. Asking for help cracking the app will get you banned. Take this as your only warning.

This is an old thread but there wasn't any answer so I'll add the answer I found which is I was able to easily change my device id on my un-rooted Android phone using adb on Windows with the method I described over here.
There's no need to do a factory reset or add any custom software.
