Re:

i have sent my "aquarium.apk" file from this address : "C:\Users\arman\workspace\aquarium\bin" to my tablet to see what i had developed but it has been like this in my tablet (image in attachment), i want to know how to make only one item with icon for my app when it is installed on device.
Look into the AndroidManifest.xml.
I there, you marked the second activity too with the intent-filter "LAUCHER".
For you second activity, just remove the intent-filter block.

Guys, I'm in the process of developing my first app using eclipse for my college project. I was thinking of developing an (root) app which allows me to hide other apps entirely, by say, freezing them (like in Titanium Backup). Can anyone please give me some pointers as to how I could actually achieve hiding/freezing the apps? Also, which part of such an app would require root access?

Anyone??...
This is like asking, "I want to draw a totally awesome picture for art class. Can you tell me how to do it?" Start programming and when you come to specific problems then ask for help.

I don't know any website with all the activity names, but I remember that it wasn't so hard to find it. It will take some time decompiling each app and searching for the activity line in AndroidManifest.xml. You can try this way if You are patient and have some time. I could also help You finding the right line in AndroidManifest.xml if You had some problems or didn't know how to do that
I know how to do man . So hard working waiting me

Take a look at this very useful app and accompanying search engine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404405
I happened to come to this app called "perfect app protector"...
In it I found a option which could get the app in stealth mode...
Once in stealth mode it would:
1) dissappear from app drawer <obviously>
2) dissappear from system application list too...!
3) it would simply not show that it's running in background...
Like u close the app and it would be out of notification panel...
4) it worked in the background but didn't show up in task manager...
5) only way to open the app wz by dailing the it's password in the dialer and calling... ( I wonder what wifi only user's do..)
I wanted to port it in other apps I have...
So I started learning the language but even after two weeks I cant get the coding which does all this....
Basically would anyone be able to hind me how to put all this in the apps...??
Apps that don't have them...
I will not be redistributing the modified apk and its purely for personal use only... for apps like my anti theft I need this.
Plus I have already brought in the donate version of app(perfect app protector) to support the dev and coz im taking inputs from his app ...
Im not talking about copying and pasting it. Just the feature in my preferred app which I'll b writing in it with the modification I want...
I'm talking about putting the code in the app , so I guess this iz the correct forum. If it's not direct me to one...(trying to learn the correct language to put in the app)

every wrong thing that happen on the device its about the device. its the same as (google maps issue on H1) then contact google for apps service..?
No, its not about the device. Its the app. Also, refrain from bumping until 24 hours has passed with NO activity. Its against the rules. Start following them, you agreed to them when you signed up.

There is no option for that in viber. See in your launcher settings. Try another launcher to see. If it doesn't come from launcher see in Play Store and untick the option to add a new shortcut.
If no help, contact viber team on Twitter.

Google maps is a pre-installed system app viber isn't.
It's behavior of application itself, can't be helped
Some "rogue" apps are made to do that, keep user stick with it
I have lots apps which has such behavior and for lucky my home screen is already full so they can't put any icon more on it

Hi and hello to all, sorry if I posted in wrong section but I guess its the right one.
I am rather clever person so I should cope, but need guide and help to do so.
I have daughter and wish to create colouring app without buttons like share or any adverts (basically anything that will make her get out of application and start to call foreign country and make my bill horrendously big etc.)
so for start I downloaded all android SDK and Studio.
My idea is to have menu with pictures (ill make those out of disney cartoons in photoshop)
once clicked it will enlarge and show colour pallet (preferably 256 colours, tiny boxes) that she could touch at top of screen,
and enlarged picture at bottom where she could fill empty spaces with desired colours.
device im intend to use is Samsung s4 or s5 my wifes or note 4 which im willing to get soon
I know I might ask for quite a lot but honestly its beyond me. I have tried to google some libs but after 6h I failed miserably.

Perhaps you wish for a child's mode or guest mode in which only certain apps can be accessed? Because what you are suggesting is making an app that you can enter, but can't leave. How will you get out of it when you need to?
Try an applocker that can be disabled/reenabled via a password... This way you can only make a coloring app (and other games) available to her unless she has a special password. Apps like this should block the phone, gallery, messaging, or anything else you wish for her not to access.
Try something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker , but if you don't like this then there are a plethora of other alternatives.
Now you should be able to allow her to access several apps and games that you deem to be appropriate for her, then, when you need your phone you can exit it and use it however you please.
thanks that will solve a lot of my problems :good: but yet all this children apps have adverts that i dont want her to click and still i would like to create colouring app just for her.
