AndroidManifest icon receiver - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
I have this piece extracted from Snote's Android manifest.xml:
Code:
<receiver android:name="com.samsung.android.snote.control.ui.quickmemo.receiver.QuickMemoLaunchReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKMEMO_LAUNCH"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
and is referring to action memo popup included in snote.
I would like to associate an icon to this receiver in order to launch action memo without open Snote application.
Is it possible to do that?
Thank you

What do you intend to use to call the receiver? In general you can associate an icon that comes with an app. But then again... what is the purpose? Do you need an icon to put it in launcher? If so, you cannot. This is not a launchable intent. Receivers receive specific intents. You need to see what intent this receiver responds to. And if you want to launch it, you need to create an app that will create an intent that this receiver will recognize.
In short, in order to invoke and intent for a broadcast receiver, you need something to send that intent. The best thing would be to send an intent from another app where you can control it. You can create a small app and give it an icon of something that reminds action memo and all that app would do is send intent to the quick memo broadcast receiver. If that's what your intention is anyway.
I hope this helps.
Cheers!

That's exactly what I wanna do but to be honest I don't know how to do that. I thought that was easier to make changes directly into androidmanifest.xml rather than create an app (my knowledge about app creation it's too limited).
Anyway thank you for your suggestion. :good:

[Q] App Development: Starting Location Listeners in Activity A passing values to B

Hi guys!
Im developing an app which will locate the users position. GPS being slow I would like to start listening to the GPS listener in Activity A (once the app launches), but I will use the coords in Activity B.
Is there like a way to create a "global" listener so I can access it anywhere from the app? If thats not possible, is better off an AsyncTask or a service?
Thanks in advance!

Smarttags, nfc and Tasker

The built in smart tags app is great, but its lacking a lot of the more powerful features of Tasker (which is already used by many), however tasker doesn't include support for nfc tags (yet?).
So I put together a little app which allows you to combine the two, smarttags app allows you to open a url when it senses a tag so this app allows you to use urls in the format tasker://<taskname> to call your tasker tasks (where <taskname> is the name of your task defined in the tasker settings).
This also allows you to use writeable tags written with the tasker:// url to launch tasker actions directly.
If anyone wants to try it out its available here-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aledthomas.taskerurllauncher
note: task names are CASE SENSITIVE, and (obviously) you must have tasker installed before installing this app or it wont work
Hopefully tasker will have nfc support someday but until then this works.
What a great idea
There's also an app called nfc retag which can call tasker tasks, the app works worth read only tags as well ( basically it just remembers the unique id of the tag react on that).
Now the downside of nfc retag is that the sony app associates itself with the smart tags and therefore launches a dialogue box and asks which app to use... With your app one could simply just use the build in app when using rewritable tags

[Q] Launch any app from URL

Hi there,
i got a little problem:
I got a Loxon (loxone.com) home automation system.
In there, there's a function to open app from URLs, as far as i understood it works through the intent service, for example i tested with success the yatse xbmc remote.
I launched the app through yatse:// as defined on the yatse developers web page.
So and now my problem:
as far as i understand the apps developer needs to define a custom intent sheeme in the apps manifest.xml
But there aren't many app developers using the custom intents, so i want to add the feature by myself.
I read about it on many websites but never got it to work. i don't need actions defined, such as open sms app and preinsert the number, just open the apps, for example squeezeplayer:// for the squeeze box apk.
Could anyone please give me a before-after example for an app? That would be awesome.
I know about decompiling apks, editing the manifest so no need for an detailed step-by step.
I know about a negative side effect after editing the manifest if an app update is installed the changes go away, but thats sometihing i can live with. (set aut update off):silly:
Thanks in advance
Edit
: i found this on stack overflow for opening apps through url but never got it to work:

[MOD][Xposed] Google Search / Now API

Requires Xposed Framework!
This module adds an API to the Google Search app, commonly referred to as Google Now.
This allows developers to make plugins that react to searches done in Google Search.
As of right now, the developers cannot interact with the cards UI, not sure how feasible that is, if it is, it'll be in future versions.
(I showed this on reddit some days ago: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1rmvxs/heres_a_preview_of_my_google_search_now_api/)

AutoVoice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usjqq5hwlSE
Compatibility:
Any 4.1+ device that can run Xposed Framework. ICS not supported at the moment, not sure how recent the Google Search port is.
Download:
Please note that this is a 1.0 release, it may or may not have bugs.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mohammadag.googlesearchapi
Source:
This is open source, you're free to contribute to the source, but you're in now way allowed to release this anywhere else.
https://github.com/MohammadAG/Google-Search-API
Plugins:
This doesn't do anything without plugins, which needs developer support. More on that below. Here are some fully working examples:
Music Controls: Control music playback. Supported commands: "play/pause/resume music", "play songs by <artist>", "play song <title>", "next/previous track/song", "volume up/down/max", "what song is this" opens in Shazam, requires Shazam, no idea what happens without it.
Voice Toggles: Turn on/off Wi-Fi, Mobile Data, or Bluetooth.
AZLyrics Viewer: Shows lyrics for songs from AZLyrics.com. Supported commands: "show lyrics for <song> by <artist>", exact syntax required here, artist is not optional.
Autovoice, by @joaomgcd, run Tasker commands from Google Search.
Plugin sources:
Music Controls: https://github.com/MohammadAG/GNAPI-MusicControls
Voice Toggles: https://github.com/MohammadAG/GNAPI-VoiceToggles
AZLyrics Viewer: https://github.com/MohammadAG/Android-AZLyricsViewer
Developers:
Implementing plugins is as easy as copying one file to your source, and implementing a BroadcastReceiver that listens for the search queries (sent as text). If you're implementing a UI, implement TextToSpeech for voice feedback, if not, use GoogleNowApi.speak for voice replies.
All this is demonstrated in the examples above.
You'll also need to add a permission to AndroidManifest.xml: "com.mohammadag.googlesearchapi.permission.ACCESS_GGOGLE_SEARCH_API"
Remember that any package needs one activity to be started to work, see the music controls example for a way around that.
Of course, you're free to make your plugins free/paid/whatever.
What are the two checkboxes for?
If you're using GEL, you basically need to have the first checkbox checked. This is because GEL uses an overlay for the first part of the search, then opens the usual search app without the transitions. This means that if a developer already started an activity, it'll be sent to the background cause search was started after it.
Second checkbox prevents duplicate searches, this can be useful (you'll see how), and not so useful (when you do two volume ups/downs). Experiment as needed.
Support development
This took quite a lot of research, Google Search's code is huge, if you found this useful, please consider a donation.
Downloading and trying on note 3 asap

Any way this could be made to support Tasker out of the box? Basically if it sent a broadcast intent without the need for a permission and such.

Hi MohammadAG.
What do you think about unlock Remote API? I tried to do this, but I have very limited time.
The problem is reconstruction of the API. Reverse engineering, reverse, reverse
Code:
<service android:name="com.google.android.sidekick.main.remoteservice.GoogleNowRemoteService" android:permission="com.google.android.apps.now.REMOTE_ACCESS" android:process=":search">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.sidekick.shared.remoteapi.IGoogleNowRemoteService" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
In latest version require signature (after upload my module Google change it)
Code:
<permission android:label="@string/permission_remote_access_label" android:name="com.google.android.apps.now.REMOTE_ACCESS" android:protectionLevel="signature" android:description="@string/permission_remote_access_desc" />
but in android:versionCode="300207090" android:versionName="2.7.9.789824.arm" only hook function:
Code:
<permission android:label="@string/permission_remote_access_label" android:name="com.google.android.apps.now.REMOTE_ACCESS" android:protectionLevel=">>>normal<<<<" android:description="@string/permission_remote_access_desc" />
Code:

It requires changing the settings in teamdog "section", which makes my module. Latest version of the module in the repo does not support latest Google Search. I did fix, but not yet released. Do want it it?

That's actually interesting... I didn't notice that part, mainly cause I thought sidekick was the name of some Motorola device.
The fun part is CardResponse implements Parceable, so this could probably be used to do card UI responses.
PM me your module, I'll have a look at this.
The signature shouldn't be a problem, PackageManager can be hooked I guess.

Awesome, you'd be the first dev to implement this!
If you have any comments on the API, do tell, it's the first time I've written an almost solid API.
(I image a library that can be imported would be better than copying the .java file, if that's a comment)

About the API, it's fine as it is! I personally much prefer a java file like that specially since it's such a simple one. I wouldn't want to import a jar just to get access to a constant.
Of course the API could grow, but I actually like having the java file like that.
Congrats on the great API, I hope you don't mind that I linked to it in the YouTube video and in the description.

This is not ROM dependent. Simply install AutoVoice and Tasker and you're good to go.
Stupid question: is it limited to English or should it work for other languages?

By the way, can you differentiate between text and voice searches? That would be a useful extra to have in the intent from the broadcast.

Whatever Google Search recognizes is good. Yes, you can use this to implement voice commands in other languages.

It's already there. Boolean extra, the key is in the Java file, look at AZLyricsViewer for an example.

PACEfied Amazfit: APK development

Hello,
I trying to develop an application for Amazfit (Pacefied).
I am using latest Android Studio, with SDK Android 5.0 Lollipop 21 rev 2 (version seen in an other post).
I just create a empty application with an empty activity, for Phone (not Wear because I heard that Wear app need some libs that are not present in watch...)
I compile it and generate an apk (for x86 platform ?!?).
I install with adb into the watch
It appears in the last screen (right) with lots of apps.
But when I click on it, nothing happens !
Do you have an idea/tip or a link for an existing project or how-to ?
Thanks, a+
Vicnet
you need to compile it for MIPS
Here's a jumpstart: https://github.com/manuel-alvarez-alvarez/malvarez-watchface
I successfuly compile and test on Amazfit a "Heelo world" app.
As I said before I use Android Studio to generate an app for android 21 (I try 23 but apk don't install).
I don't use compat module.
The main pb was the app style, based on simple ActionToolbar in the first version, that not working (app dont launch).
I change in style.xml the parent style to NoActionBar and then all is OK !
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.NoActionBar">

Anyone know if we can replace some of the system apps?
My idea is to modify the default music player so that it shuffles the music instead of playing it sequentially, but I guess it might need to be a system app (or at least have some specific permissions) in order to be available whilst running.

The default media player app is watch.huami.com.mediaplayer installed in the system/app folder. Given that we have root access on Pacefied, it should be possible to modify the system app. Also, the fact that we are able to make translations and install them implies changes to these app are possible.
BTW, the Media player app uses the following permissions:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
You can check to see if any of these are system only permissions and create your own app. I don't suppose you will need more than these permissions. Infact, you may need less permissions if you create your on music player app without wifi streaming

That's weird - I thought that the watch would make a direct request to the network without needing to be even within range of the phone.
Do you have any sample code by the way? I was hoping to get started on some development for an app which downloads podcasts.

Yeah, I thouht the same, I may wrong but I spent some time testing it and this is what I found....
Sorry I can't share the code, I have been using an app that use network, not just a sample. I'm iOS developer not Android, so I'm going slowly on Android code If you manage to get some sample minimalist app please share it
Ok, after some tests, I post my experience (only Android at this moment):
I have created a simple app that enable WiFi and then call a page with http.
As mentioned by @jesuslg123 only with watch no connection, the http call end with error.
If the phone is connected with companion smartphone app, works like a charm!
I've experienced a strange behavior:
If first I pair the watch and then start my app, as said before http works, now if I unpair the watch and disconnect smartphone from WiFi, my app on watch still works and is able to perform http request!!!
It seems that something is configured during pairing and it remains until the app on watch is in foreground.
I think the watch is unable to resolve url or something like that without companion app.
In the next days I will do some more tests.
I can share my code if you want, I'm not using pure java, I'm coding with b4a (Android) and b4i (ios).
Tell me if someone is interested

I have created a simple app that enable WiFi and then call a page with http.
As mentioned by @jesuslg123 only with watch no connection, the http call end with error.
If the phone is connected with companion smartphone app, works like a charm!
I've experienced a strange behavior:
If first I pair the watch and then start my app, as said before http works, now if I unpair the watch and disconnect smartphone from WiFi, my app on watch still works and is able to perform http request!!!
It seems that something is configured during pairing and it remains until the app on watch is in foreground.
I think the watch is unable to resolve url or something like that without companion app.
In the next days I will do some more tests.
I can share my code if you want, I'm not using pure java, I'm coding with b4a (Android) and b4i (ios).
Tell me if someone is interested
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Even if I unpair my watch, my watch is still getting notifications, I think is only truly un pair, when watch is restored... When phone was disconnected from wifi, 3G/Netowork was enabled?
I would like to test your app on iOS if you are happy to share the code or the APK, compiled may be easier
Thanks!
