Hello all,
i just registered here to find out if opening a KML file on my SD card with Google maps in offline mode can work.
I am looking for an solution quite a time, but only found this thread on stackover...
To load kml into Google Maps on Android without writing an app, you can create a little html file somewhere with a geo-uri link to the kml file and then click on that link in any Android web browser.
For example: suppose your kml file is located in /sdcard/overlay.kml then you write a geo-uri link like this:
<html>
<head><title>Example KML link page using a geo-uri</title></head>
<body>
overlay.kml
</body>
</html>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clicking on the link will launch Maps and then Maps will attempt to load and your kml.
Be warned however that the Android version of Maps does not appear to handle the same version/range of kml elements as the desktop version (or desktop Google Earth).

a other thread is about editing the manifest file to get maps to open local KML files
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Hi everyone,
I've created a GO SMS Pro theme using their webtool,
but it appears to have yet to implement various common aspects of functionality. I want to be able to modify the AndroidManifest.xml file myself, primarily to add Airpush (the presence of which I let people know of from the beginning), but the formatting is quite garbled. I'm guessing this may be due to the localization to Chinese that the Google Play developer console reports. Does anyone have a functional, readily editable version in English with all the required information for a GO SMS Pro Theme? I want to be assured I have all the required information, rather than hacking together another xml file with Eclipse. I figured I'd install the Chinese language on my computer, but it appears Microsoft did not include such functionality in Windows 7 Premium (64-bit). I've download other GO SMS Pro themes with Airpush, figuring I could use their AndroidManifest.xml and mail.xml files as templates, but found the same formatting / editability issue. Thank you for your help!
I've since found kantbstopped519's post at the end of page 3 in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125626&page=3
and used what was posted:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest android:versionCode="5" android:versionName="1.0" android:installLocation="auto" package="com.jb.gosms.theme.kxnt.dark"

</intent-filter>
</activity>

It appears this functioned for kantbstopped519.
I used this as a template (made no additions of Airpush or anything such) and made the supposedly appropriate changes, also changing anything referencing @string to plain text directly in AndroidManifest.xml. Now I'm getting that informative "The server could not process your apk. Try again."
I've been making various changes, deletions, and resigning after each change, to repeatedly the same message. Only re-adding my original garbled-de-goop AndroidManifest.xml file and resigning has thus far resulted in a successful processing upon upload. Could this have something to do with the resources.arsc and/or classes.dex files in the root of the apk?
If the APK is already compiled then you will need to decompile it with apktool to get the XML readable.
Hi I created a test android app that does two simple things, open the browswer and open the calculator
My main problem is that once I put a custom permission inside the mainfest, I can no longer open my own application. The app does appear on the launcher screen but when I launch it, it will say "App isn't installed". However using a second app and giving it the proper uses and making sure it's signed by the same signature it opens fine.
Here is the manifest for my main app:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.dms_test_app2"
android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="1.1" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<permission
android:name="com.example.test"
androidrotectionLevel="signature" android:label="this is my custom permission" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.test"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
androidermission="com.example.test"
android:name="com.example.dms_test_app2.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleInstance">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I understand from logcat that the issue is that the LAUNCHER does not have the proper permission:
E/Launcher( 1392): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Inte
nt { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0
x10200000 cmp=com.example.dms_test_app2/.MainActivity } from ProcessRecord{b5430
118 1392:com.android.launcher/u0a10002} (pid=1392, uid=10002) requires com.examp
le.test
However if you check my manifest, I clearly declared the <uses-permission> tag.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for reading.
BR,

yeah
Iam asking is it on external or internel storage as installed on sd or external storage
there is a permission with write on external so at boot if it want to start I think the external media should start up also
am I wrong?? Iam not sure tho
---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
one more thing you have set boot permission to the app
I don't know how
and you can try using any start up applications for that

Yeah I know but I don't want to use any app for that, I'm doing this for for a friend and his company he works at, and I want the tablet to be as clean as possible. So no additional apps or any sort of bloatware.

I've pushed it to /system/app and set permissions to 0644 and the app works but still doesn't boot on start.
How to play Mini DayZ on Windows Phone
This tutorial was written on Linux, however the process should be pretty much the same for Windows.
Requirements:
1. Mini DayZ apk
2. A computer with node and cordova installed
Steps:
First of all rename the apk to .zip and extract it.
Go inside the folder and go to the assets folder. Right click and open in terminal.
In the terminal type:
Code:
cordova platform add browser
Then in the same folder create a file called
Code:
config.xml
and paste the following into it:
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="io.cordova.hellocordova" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
<name>HelloCordova</name>
<description>
A sample Apache Cordova application that responds to the deviceready event.
</description>
<author email="[email protected]" href="http://cordova.io">
Apache Cordova Team
</author>
<preference name="windows-appx-target" value="uap" />
<preference name="windows-arch" value="arm" />
<preference name="windows-target-version" value="10.0" />
<preference name="windows-phone-target-version" value="10.0" />
<content src="index.html" />
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="1" />
<access origin="*" />
<allow-intent href="http://*/*" />
<allow-intent href="https://*/*" />
<allow-intent href="tel:*" />
<allow-intent href="sms:*" />
<allow-intent href="mailto:*" />
<allow-intent href="geo:*" />
<platform name="android">
<allow-intent href="market:*" />
</platform>
<platform name="ios">
<allow-intent href="itms:*" />
<allow-intent href="itms-apps:*" />
</platform>
<platform name="windows">
<preference name="windows-appx-target" value="uap" />
<preference name="windows-arch" value="arm" />
<preference name="windows-target-version" value="10.0" />
<preference name="windows-phone-target-version" value="10.0" />
</platform>
</widget>
Then do:
Code:
cordova run
If you get the following error:
Code:
cordova-custom-config: Skipping auto-restore of config file backup(s)
Unable to load PlatformApi from platform. Error: Cannot find module 'cordova-common'
Unhandled error. ('The platform "browser" does not appear to be a valid cordova platform. It is missing API.js. browser not supported.')
Then do the following:
Code:
npm i cordova-common
Then do:
Code:
cordova run
Now if you get the following error:
Code:
Cannot find module 'cordova-serve'
Then do the following:
Code:
npm i cordova-serve
And finally do:
Code:
cordova run
You should see something like:
Code:
Static file server running @ http://localhost:8000/index.html
Go to that url in your browser and it should be working.
Now to get it working on your phone make sure both your phone and laptop are connected to the same network.
Now you must find your laptop's local ip. On Linux do the following:
Code:
hostname -I
You should see something like
Code:
192.168.0.xxx
Go to your phones browser and go to http://192.168.0.xxx:8000/index.html
AND VOILA IT SHOULD BE WORKING!!
Once everything is loaded it should be safe to shut down the server on your laptop. And the best part is your game gets saved in your browser so you can continue playing where you left off.
If someone is generous enough to host this on heroku or your own website, please let me know.
If you know any other games that are built with cordova please let me know.
ERRORS:
1. For some reason the audio works on my laptop but it doesn't work on my phone. If anyone can fix this please let me know.
2. I tried to pack this into an .appx file via Phonegap but it didnt work. The appx file was getting installed but whenever I opened it I just got a black screen. Can anyone get it to work?
Thanks for the guide! Check out https://nextdev65.github.io/MiniDayZ/
Hello there!
I have a problem with my app. I am working on a website and it's associated android app.
If the system sends an email with a link within, I want the app to open to this specific content. The app opens but not where it's supposed to be. It stays on the main page of the app.
The links are supposed to auto connect the user, so he can access the app as he wishes automatically, so my links have this form:
https://www.mysite.com/autoconnect/stringHASH/stringKEY
I don't know in advance what will be put in the hash and key parts. So I don't know what to put in the manifest to make this work.
Here is what I currently have in my manifest file:
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="https" />
<data android:host="mysite.com" />
<data android:pathPrefix="/autoconnect/" />
</intent-filter>
Did I miss something? I need to add I have generated the well-known file and it is on my server.
Thank you for your help!
