[Q] Clipboard location - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I would like to find the clipboard location.
And please don't tell me that it is only to copy/paste or don't give the name of the program that can manage the clipboard.
I'm only interested in the location of it

Its probably just stored in the RAM since its usually just a string of text.

[Q] Clipboard queue?

I am looking for a clipboard queue. Basically something that I can copy items into in one app and then in another app get those items back out in the order I copied them.
For example I could cooy my name, then copy my street address, then copy my city state zip code. Now I switch apps. When I do the first paste I get my name, second paste and I get my street address, and last paste gets my city state zip.
The above is just an example so don't think it is just for personal information. It should support information that changes a lot.
I have tried many clipboard programs, but they seem to only be clipboard histories.
I even looked at Tasker but it appears to not know when the clipboard has been pasted do it can advance to the next item in the queue.
I can find several of these programs for Windows, just not Android.
I know this is a toughie, but please help.
I guess there isn't any?
The best I have seen is Everywhere Clipboard. It shows a popup on the screen at the same time as your app. You can click on an item in the clipboard history to copy it back to the clipboard.
Is there better?

[Q] How to access main application SharedPreferences for Home Screen Widget?

I have an app that stores the location of the last opened database in it's SharedPreferences, I have no issues working with this inside the main application BUT...
I am trying to create a Home Screen Widget for this app and I need to access that preference some how so that I can open the database from inside the Widget. I have done a lot of google searches and I am coming up with nothing very good. It seems "possible" to do this with createPackageContext() but everything I have read indicates that this is not very secure.
I have the ContentProvider working just fine if I hard code the database location, but since the user can open up multiple files I need a way for them to specify in the app the default file they want opened. I guess maybe the "best" method would be to have them select the file when they enable the widget maybe?
I know that I have seen apps that "seem" to be using the SharedPreferences to store the data and it is shared between the Home Screen Widget and the main app, so how can this be done IF it really can be done?
Anyone have any suggestions or locations that I can do more research on?
Thanks,
-Eric

[Q] How to automatically send a directory to my mail?

Hi,
I have no knowledge about android programming (but I know java language) and I wish to know if exists an app that automatically sends a directory (zipped or in any compression format) to a specified email address every day, for example.
Thank you very much for your support and I apologize in advance if I posted in a wrong area.
Maybe Tasker can do it (it's a little difficult to understand, there are tutorials out there).
Is there a hidden way to do it? Or a way to hide this app?
There are some Launchers that can hide apps (Nemus or Holo).

[Q] Pinpoint & save GPS location

Hello,
I am looking for an app, which could get and save my current location provided by GPS sensor. Sure, there are Google Maps, but i can't save my position from there.
Gps status is another great example, but there's no way to export it in some file directly. It gives me coordinates in text format, then I have to open Google Earth, create pin and enter coordinates.
I would like to have something, that would allow me to save coordinates along with specified name. For exaxmple:
I get current position, provide name: "My House", and it would export the coordinates to file named My House.txt, which would contain cordinates.
Or even better, if it were able to export KMZ / KML files for Google Earth directly.
What's my reason to this ?
I am seasonal diver, and most of the time, I dive from the boat - I would like to "bookmark" my location and then, later at home I would like to check, where exactly the boat parked on the sea / where was I diving.
Do you know any app of this kind ?
PS: it is very important for me. I am leaving for my holiday in 2 days.
Many thanks.
You may try Share my position : https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=location&fdid=net.sylvek.sharemyposition&fdpage=2 and maybe send an SMS to yourself ?
After some Play Store research, I have come to this.
So if anyone interested, check out this play store link.
It does everything, what I need. Get GPS, save it and then export in various formats - sql, csv, kml, gpx.

Navigation android app

I am currently working on my own android app and I do some calculations and method calls there and finally get latitude and longitude of one point where I want to navigate to and have the latitude and longitude from my current location. Now I have some options from here on:
1. I embed existing navigation on Android in my application.
2. I start an extern navigation application via intent.
Both ways are used to help the user to navigate to the location.
When I finally reached the destination then my own app should handle this and send a message to a server. This is easier when my own app is in the foreground on the phone.
Some ideas what way I should use and if one explains me with what. I read something about Grasshopper etc. but I am not confident what to use.
Hopefully someone here can help me or just write down their opinion.
