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
Could someone help walk me through this? I've decompiled/recompiled plenty of apks, however the framework-res.apk is being relatively stubborn. After recompiling the apk I get force closes in random areas of settings, etc.
I use apktool (as I need to edit an xml file's value), to decode, then build.
Are there any random steps I'm missing?
I've tried this over and over to get the same results everytime.
Someone said it is because of corrupted xml, and if so how do I prevent the problem from happening?
Anyway, thanks in advance.
Check out the theme guides in epic themes and apps forum, grab apk manager, the op says to decompile and recompile without making any changes as some apks can just be problematic and error. But you should be able to edit xmls (no pngs! Drag and drop after!) And recompile with no prob, use like notepad++ as windows notepad adds junk characters tat cause issues too.

Hi, I had beautiful widgets installed and it was not findeing the location automatically, I had to put the zipcode or the city. Now I copied the networklocation.apk from my phone to the kindle's in the system app folder and now it is finding it by geolocation.

I gave this a shot with nogo... CityID it pulls up with is jibberish and non-locational to where I am at.
Just so you know what I did...
o Copied com.google.androidlocation.apk to /system/app
o Rebooted the device
o Used BeautifyWidgets, selected Weather Widget Setting
o Selected Set Location
o Clicked Geolocation
Errors said Geolocation was not on
o told it to use it anyway
o Saved the settings.

When you copy the app in the settings l, long press the app and choose permissiones and you must have it setup like the pic

Will this work with Google Maps as well?
EDIT: Yup, I am now finding my location in Google Maps as well. Saaweeet!
Used the same permissions as everything else in the /system/app directory

Well my location is working I don't know why yours doesn't .

Samomamo, where did you get the NetworkLocation.apk package from, also did you have to adjust anything in Settings.db for any network settings?
I am completely stumped and have been scouring through myriads of posts for some shred of helpful info, so far this post and this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362472
but have had no luck with either one. I am wondering if the answer lies in from where you got your NetworkLocation.apk. Any help would great! Thanks!
I got the apk from my T-Mobile Galaxy s2

I downloaded the networklocation apk from the CM7 gapps. The followed the directions and it is now showing my location. I believe it will only show my location if connected to wifi though.
Gapps is found here : goo-inside.me/gapps/
Solved issue by adding files and editing framework-res.apk
If anyone searching is interested in how I was able to solve this I could not simply add the Google Network Location APK, I had to force the Amazon "framework-res.apk" file to recognize it by editing the '/res/values/strings.xml' with the following lines:
Same ol' disclaimers - I'm not responsible for whatever you do with this info, if you brick your device, its your decision to try and not my fault or issue to fix. This is nothing new I just put the various pieces together from research through other posts, forums, etc. so credit where credit is due.
irishmyles003 and samomamo thank you very much for your input. Though I wish your solutions would have worked I am glad I had this challenge as I think I taught myself a little more about how to mess around and tweak the system a bit.
I still added the NetworkLocation.APK as stated and explained by Samomamo, but I had the do the following steps in order to get the framework to actually react to network location requests, since it kept returning "null".
<<Original>>
Code:
<string name="config_networkLocationProvider">@null</string>
<string name="config_geocodeProvider">@null</string>
<<Modded>>
Code:
<string name="config_networkLocationProvider">com.google.android.location.NetworkLocationProvider</string>
<string name="config_geocodeProvider">com.google.android.location.GeocodeProvider</string>
Steps:
Use ApkTool to pull "framework-res.apk" and decompile
Replace the lines above to match the modded section
Recompile the APK to "unsignedframework-res.apk"
Copy and rename original "framework-res.apK" -> "originalframework-res.apk" (put this file aside in case you need to flash if you make a mistake)
Rename the original and newly compiled files to .zip (so you can extract, edit, etc)
- "framework-res.apk" -> "framework-res.zip"
- "unsignedframework-res.apk" -> "unsignedframework-res.zip"
Extract "resources.arsc" from unsigned and paste (and overwrite) to the "framework-res.zip" file
Rename "framework-res.zip" -> "framework-res.apk"
Push "framework-res.apk" to device (need to mount /system r/w)
chmod 644 (i.e. <rw, r, r> for root explorer)
Reboot and voila it worked (for me at least)!
Sources / Props to the authors of these links:
I could not give correct props because I got these from outside links, but [email protected] and the Enable CRT Animation guide at freeyourandroid.com and the APKtool tutorial at miui-au.com
Also if you google using the info above you will find you can also enable the AOSP GB CRT Animation by editing a line in the bools.xml, I tried this and it works! Enjoy!.
EDIT: After applying the framework-res.apk and rebooting I just realized that my accounts were lost. I just had to re-add them via SyncSettings (Market: com.francesandmarky.android.syncsettings) - Amazon, Gmail, and Facebook.

Could someone post the modified framework-res.apk?
Why does it work for some but not others?
andTab, I tried but the max filesize is 8 mb for APK files, the framework-res.apk is 27-31 mb. I couldn't figure out why the original posters were able to do it by just adding the files. When I unpacked the APK it was intentionally set to null not allowing usage of the google location framework.

Thanks for your work guys...
I downloaded and applied this frame work apk, the crt animation is now enabled, but google maps still not finding my location in the middle of Los Angeles.
Hmmmm
You still need NetworkLocation.Apk from Gapps put into /System/App (also run it from your SD Card), then reboot. The adjusted lines in the Framework-Res points to this framework.
So my evo 3d is running ICS, can I still use the file? Or could someone post a working one?

I'm not too sure, if you're working off stock the Kindle Fire uses 2.3.4 so I would use the 8/28 version from the website irishmyles003 provided.
Hmm still not having a whole lot of luck.
I downloaded the networklocations apk from gaps of the correct date. Also installed the updated framework. Like I said Im seeing CRT change.
I've set up the geo location through beautiful widgets.. but still not finding location.
What am I missing?
thanks
also when I placed the network locations apk I set correct permission and tried to install it, it said application not installed. Could to be part of the problem?

Placing it in the /system/app area is installing it.
Make sure you reboot for the system to see it though.
Note: I've not tried this patch...
I'm not exactly sure why it isn't working for you. I spent a few days looking at logcat's and forums. Don't forget to change the permissions (mentioned earlier in this thread) to 644.
First ok all, Move if not in the correct spot (Or Delete if against TOS)!
Unsure if this is possible but I'm trying to extract an APK (Not sure if I should mention the App, I Did purchase the app) to make a small change to the code. I Can get to a certain point of extraction and then it stops. The files I need to edit are extracteded however so I can change what I need to, but as files are missing, when I recompile the app does not launch.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
I've tried both APK Studio & APKTools

Using a Note 3 from T-Mobile, I pulled the file with the adb command, with root explorer, and extracted it from the stock ROM file all giving me the same error. For some reason I also don't get any smali files out of my SystemUI.apk which has been driving me crazy. I can't seem to find any working answers yet... Fail...
Basically bumping this thread a half a year later...

You have the relevant frameworks installed and java in your path?

Summary/Lessons Learned in the last 24 hours:
I must have been too tired, went to sleep got up again and went at it. I realized a few things, main thing was deodexing, I learned all about that. Converting the .odex file to a class.dex file inside the SystemUI.apk and SecSettings.apk so decompiling would work properly (I was originally missing the smali folder without deodexing my app). Second I needed to pull all the framework files from my device instead of just the two I had, then I used "apktool if framework-res.apk" then "apktool if twframework-res.apk" then "apktool d SystemUI.apk" then "apktool d SecSettings.apk". This time it actually worked, I proceeded to try and re-compile them just to test. The SystemUI.apk worked flawlessly but the the SecSettings.apk had errors then I realized I needed to copy the AndroidManifest.xml and resources.arsc from the original app to the decompiled folder and the SecSettings.apk compiled with no issues. I had to get the original file out of the stock ROM, it had gotten damaged somehow with zipping/raring/7zipping so quicktip no one should be zipping the files you're about to work on get it fresh from the ROM.
Current Issue:
Now that all that's done I'm onto what I was trying to get at when I started this whole project. I need to modify both of these apps which are now perfectly deodexed and on my stock device. Every time I try to modify these files I lose my status bar and my settings stop working, I'm obviously breaking it, this is the XDA guide I was following.
Any help or redirection on where to post would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Easiest thing - put your mod back in and get the status bar to disappear/fc whatever
Then, pull a log (catalog from appstore works fine)
Post that log at pastebin and link it here
We won't be able to solve your issue without knowing what it is, in the first place
Like this?
This was before I restarted: Log 1
Then I recorded for a little after I restarted probably pointless but that's where the error would have been: Log 2

Not sure exactly how to record it and send it to you, I pressed record but when the phone finished rebooting CatLog was closed so I reopened it and it keeps scrolling endlessly.
Research progressed a little
I came across a post here in the Flashlight Mod development thread which made me realize I'm not getting the ID's correct. They suggest compiling the modded SystemUI.apk to get the ID's into the apk file under the /res/values/public.xml file, then decompiling it to read the ID values. I'm missing a step or doing something wrong, I can't replicate it to find the ID values I need so I can add them to the .smali file and recompile a final time. I'm sure this is the only reason for the missing status bar and the force closes. I guess I need help understanding, a different set of instructions or just more detailed?
I can't post in that thread yet so I'm getting my posts up over here, I already posted in the Q&A thread but no one has responded yet, any help is greatly appreciated!
I get this when decompiling the modded apk: Modded SystemUI ApkTool Decompile
All these errors look like the file is broken now or something, I'm just lost at this point. I tried ApkTool 1.5.2 and 2.0 as well.
EDIT:
Additional info below for troubleshooting purposes since it seems my issue recompiling at the end to get the values for my public.xml
STEPS:
1. deodex (universal deodexer v5)
2. decompile (apktool 1.5.2 & 2.0 separate tests)
3. modify (add flashlight .png's and .smali file from 4.4kk flashlight mod files)
4. recompile (apktool)
5. decompile (apktool)
=
Errors <<<<< These errors solved in edit below
EDIT:
I forgot to use "apktool if SystemUI.apk" when loading "framework-res.apk" & "twframework-res.apk" now I get through decompiling and recompiling like I thought I should be and I even located the values int he public.xml, replaced them in the .smali and everything went peachy. Only problem is I never get the status bar after I reboot, not really getting any FC's but the status bar, if my goal were to get it to be invisible I would be so happy omg lol If you're curious I've also tested by signing and even another test with zipalign, nothing zip/zero/zilch...
EDIT... Again I know still no sleep, durp durp:
So my main issue was not using apktool v1.5.2 to decompile and v2.0 to compile EVERY SINGLE TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS. When I followed that simple rule I get it onto my device and she has no status bar... Hmmmmm..... And a logcat for anyone smart enough to help me
EDIT:
Maybe I'm in the right direction with an error I saw in the log at this post? I thought it was so I installed the DisableSignatureVerification Mod from the Xposed Modules and still nothing.
Calling All Developers
It's been like 2 weeks just curious if anyone has even looked at this, I haven't been able to make any progress so I started learning how to develop apps. I made two small apps basic flashlight and a counter app but I really want to know why I'm totally unable to mod a file on my phone. I can't get the ink effect to work with finger input either I've been really trying to get this flashlight mod and the ink effect for months. If I could get pointed in the direction of a developer that can actually help me I don't see why I couldn't donate like $10 or $20 to the one who helps me. I'm on android 4.4.2 (NK3) on my Note 3 from T-Mobile.
