Debug Report

This is a code I extracted from active project called HideBar . This code logs the AndroidVersion and returns AndroidVersion. public enum AndroidVersion { HC, ICS, JB, UNKNOWN }; public AndroidVersion getAndroidVersion() { Log.v(LOG_TAG, "getAndroidVersion called"); int sdk = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT; if (11 <= sdk && sdk <= 13) { Log.v(LOG_TAG, "We are running on HoneyComb"); return AndroidVersion.HC; } else if (14 <= sdk && sdk <= 15) { Log.v(LOG_TAG, "We are running on IceCreamSandwich"); return AndroidVersion.ICS; } else if (16 == sdk) { Log.v(LOG_TAG, "We are running on JellyBean"); return AndroidVersion.JB; } else { Log.v(LOG_TAG, "We don't know what we are running on"); return AndroidVersion.UNKNOWN; } }

Here is how to zoom controls in webview. WebView webview = new WebView(this); webview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

Here is how to restart an activity in Android. public void reload() {     Intent intent = getIntent();     overridePendingTransition(0, 0);     intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);     finish();     overridePendingTransition(0, 0);     startActivity(intent); } But Since API level 11, you can use recreate() method. The recreate() method acts just like a configuration change, so your onSaveInstanceState() and onRestoreInstanceState() methods are also called, if applicable.

Here is the coding to add a view such a as a button, layout etc. at the runtime.

If you want to hide the Android Soft Keyboard, you can use following methods to do that. Method 1 InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0); Method 2 getWindow().setSoftInputMode(       WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN); Method 3 Add following code into the AndroidManifest.xml file, inside the Activity tag. android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" Method 4 Try below code inside onCreate() method in your activity class. EditText edtView=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editTextConvertValue); edtView.setInputType(0); or editView.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL); ***This method works as a means of getting around the "can't hide the soft keyboard" bug in 2.0 and 2.1 as described in code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7115 Method 5 If you work with TabHost and you want to hide the keyboard on onT

// First, you need to get the Display from the WindowManager Display display = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); // Now you can call all display-related methods int width = display.getWidth(); int height = display.getHeight(); int orientation = display.getOrientation();

I wanted to get icons of running activities And here I done it. List<PackageInfo> packs = getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(0); Drawable[] icons=new Drawable[packs.size]; for(int i=0;i<packs.size();i++) {     PackageInfo p = packs.get(i);     icons[i]= p.applicationInfo.loadIcon(getPackageManager());  } And you may need to convert the return values to Bitmap.

I wanted to add static header to my ListView and here how I done it.

A Android system notifications are normally used for sending notifications by Android services. Here how you create simple notification. public void showNotification(CharSequence message) { final int notifyRef = 1; final int notifyIcon = R.drawable.icon; final long notifyWhen = System.currentTimeMillis(); final String notifyService = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;   NotificationManager notifyManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(notifyService); Notification notification = new Notification( notifyIcon, message, notifyWhen);   Context context = getApplicationContext(); CharSequence notifyTitle = message; CharSequence notifyText = "You saved this message."; Intent notifyIntent = new Intent( this, MyAndroidSdkAppActivity2.class); PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity( this, 0, notifyIntent, 0); notification.setLatestEventInfo( context, notifyTitle, notifyText
