Hello,

Thank you, I'd discovered that function and I've used a NetworkAvailablilityChanged listener with it and it seems to accurately tell me when the machine is connected to a network and if the internet is available. This should set me on my way.
Thanks.

Thank you for this, I hadn't seen this function. I imagine I could combine this with pinging a web address to confirm an active internet connection when it has been confirmed that it's actually connected to a network.

Should it not just be: android:background="@color/background" if you have a colour defined in your color.xml file a color called background

Can you post your logcat output?

merridus 10-Feb-12 4:39am View

Do you intend on storing the data locally on the device or in a database running on a server somewhere?

Well you could do something like "Select TOP 1 * FROM Table ORDER BY IDField DESC" for your SQL I guess, and then put whats returned into your textbox.

Any help?

Good point, the only time i've ever actually had to achieve this is with widgets that don't require a launcher icon.

I've not come across any way of preventing the OS from killing an application or auto restarting immediately after the service is killed, I wouldn't imagine this is possible/advised but I could be wrong.

I can't think of how you might achieve this at the minute so you might have to wait and see if someone else can pick it up.

You have the sign the wrong way round in the code you pasted above for printing all results. That's why it isn't outputting anything at the end upon exiting the loop. "i<10"

Does it just not output anything or does it give you an error?

merridus 7-Feb-12 6:22am View

What is your problem? Does it not exit when you enter -999?

Exactly, now use the techniques you learnt from that article to do a bit of searching to find what you want for mobile technology. Your question is very broad so do some searching and reading and then if you have a specific question come back and ask that.

Does mnuItems actually have any children to remove?

It looks like you are trying to remove the first child when there are none which would produce the out of range exception. Unless you are adding children to it somewhere else?

Do you mean when the user uninstalls the application you want any icons placed on the homepage for the application to be removed?

It should do that by default should it not?

No problem, added it as an answer for future reference.

I'm not sure it will work but try adding < uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" /> to your manifest file. This should state that it will request telephony permissions but as they aren't required it can still be downloaded without them. I'm assuming your tablet doesn't have this functionality.

Does your application use any features that the tablet doesn't have? Such as "uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" or anything like that?

merridus 21-Dec-11 9:15am View

No problem.

What are you initially binding to the gridview?

merridus 13-Sep-11 11:32am View

When do you first call doDraw()?

merridus 13-Sep-11 6:17am View

In the xml?

android:background="@android:color/transparent"

This should set the background colour of a layout to transparent.
