Hi guys and gals I am having a issue with my app I'm making. The app uses webview to load a special web page to let a user download files mostly .pkg files but some zip files and exe's as well. I have the app built and it loads the website url I need it to but when I click on a file to download it to the storage card it does nothing at all. I know I need to do something with the DownloadListener I'm just not sure what or how. The snippets of code I have found on the net to try to understand it has not worked. I have given permission to the net and SD card in the manifest file. Any help with this would be great Thanks
p.s. for some reason it wont let me post my code. if anyone can help + rep for you
No one on this? ok well I know I need to set up a downloadlistener but I am unsure how to do this everything I have found is only to force media to be played somewhere but I need to just make it download the file to the root of the sdcard. any help even to a good tutorial or link with a code snippet for a different file type that i could modify to work would be very helpful
hey,
I wanted to extract "Torch" application from "Azure" Rom and few other applications. as Torch is the only working app which did really enable the LED for HTC Legend.
I actually opened the ZIP package to path \azure-1.0.1.zip\system\app where the applications are stored, every app comes in APK and OBEX files. I extracted few APKS, non of them worked.
I am seeking some help for extracting the application from the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
lamppu is a good LED torch. You need root to use it, look in market

I have looked in market, but it doesnt seem to exist there. However, do you know anyway to extract the application as working APK file?
Any other LED torches that works with LEGEND?
*EDIT: well, I found it, its named Lamppu. but anyway it didnt work, although my phone is rooted! why is that?
Try Extended Controls, there is a Torch Widget which worked on my HTC Legend. (NOTE:Root access Required For this very Widget)

If you find a ROM that has both .apx and .odex in the app-folder you will not get it to work by only extracting the .apk file.. You need both of the files in order to include them in another ROM..
Use a backup program like Titanium backup or MyBackup pro: they will extract for you.

I already tried using Lamppu, but it didnt work on my rooted phone!
Have any idea what might be the reason?

That makes sense...but who would I merge the .apk and .obex together to be in one .apk file so I can install it?
Or maybe you know some way I can install these files?
Help would be really appreciated.

You mean like after loading the custom ROM, I backup the application I want then restore them after I load the custom I want?!
This is just long process of backing up your data then load custom rom, then back to the old rom, then root then restore...
I thought there might be easier and shorter ways?!
Any help would be appreciated. Gracias!
Anyone to help?????
try the kitchen method.
Scout around in the .zip to find the package you want, copy the .apk to your ADB directory and then, with the phone plugged in:
Code:
adb install [I]path-to-package[/I].apk

To be honest you've answered your own question. What you've done is the easiest way to pull an app from a ROM. So if your issue is something else it may be an idea to re-write your question (again, I know. Sorry).
I also apologise for mis-interpreting your question the first time 'round. I hope my help in this post is better.

Your help so much appreciated mate!
Well, the last conclusion I got to is, the .apk and .obex files are actually one file but they were divided to 2 files just to make them work better, so if you take the .apk file only it wont work as it will be missing the other .obex file.
Anyway, I am also guessing there is a way to merge the 2 files back, I read a little about "de-odex" but I couldnt really get the best help I could get. I will post the solution once I get to it.
Thanks again for your help mate!

I know it's a pain, but de-odexing the whole rom might help. Unless you already did this, in which case something is wrong with your download I imagine.

I havent tried deodexing the whole rom actually. I will certainly do this and try.
I have another question to you though, from where can i get Swype? lol

Hey guys!
I have a few apps im trying to install on my HTC HD2. However, every time i click on the cab setup files and try to run in my explorer window, it just launches the browser and then nothing happens...
how to i get the setup to run as normal executable files?
Thanks
Are you running them on your device?
yes Im trying to...
Shouldn't I?
Is there another way of running the programs?
Any insight or suggestion?????
Yeah you should be running them on your phone. And when you click on them, they open the browser? As in web browser?
Yes they do....I just saw a post on how to install xml and followed the guidelines to fix it....I was not supposed to extract the files which is what i was doing!!!
thanks all for your replies

Yep. They look like zip files on your computer, but on the phone they show up as a cab. You got it!
As above. I was sent a file via bluetooth and now i dont know were to find it. So im guessing i need a file browser/explorer, unless anyone can tell me were i would be able to find it on the phone please.
Thanks.

Astro or andexplorer.
And your file is probably inside a folder called downloads.
..
I looked through the apk and didn't see this image anywhere. I think they're downloaded remotely, so not built into the apk.

JJ-KwiK said:
I'm thinking the same thing. I also went through the apk and didn't find anything. I haven't had any luck searching in the internal file system, but if it's downloaded remotely, I would expected to find it somewhere. Hmmm...
Anywho, thanks for taking the time to look. I hope I can find it.

It's probably stored in cache, which I don't know how to look through. Good luck!
You can find it in the Nvidia Customization.apk
..

Can you upload it somewhere?
Give your mail, I will send you
Regards.
Thanks for sending me the file.
Actually, changing the file is easy, but I'm not sure how we can replace the system NvCustomize.apk after changing it. even if we sign it, it has to be with the original sign key, which I dont believe we have.
Anyone been doing this before?
Edit:
Actually, I did it with XPosed and a custom module that I wrote. Unfortunatelly, it doesn't want to usa a resource from the sdcard/internal storage, it has to be hardcoded in the app. Ill continue to look for a solution.
