Web Browser intent - Java for Android App Development

Hi!
I'm trying to open Chrome or any other web browser, but I also need to pass some simple data strings. Is there any way to fill in some text boxes?
I am open to any suggestion.
Thanks!

Pass on some simple data string? like URL? if yes then you can store your URL in a uri(uniform resource identifier) format then start an intent
Code:
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
startActivity(browserIntent);

Thanks, this header file has much more information.
What I'm looking for is to get data about communications event like in/out voice calls, in/out gprs sessions, in/out sms messages, I get some data in the 'tstril' sample for incoming sms messages by catch this event and parse it with the 'RILMESSAGE' structure.
I'm looking for info about the other events structure data that it’s missing in the struct in the h file.

Sprint MMS Block Workaround [Idea for Developers]

If you haven't already heard Sprint has denied access to the MMS service with PPC devices. We used to get around this by installing Arcsoft MMS but even that won't work anymore.
Since the only way to send MMS or PictureMail is through E-Mail I was wondering if it's possible to develop an application to make this an easier process. The application will ask for phone number or contact name, the carrier, the media to be sent, the subject, and the message. With all that information it'll compose an e-mail to [phonenumber]@[carrier'saddress].com
-- Edit --
no2chem is working on a workaround. see his post on ppcgeeks from more info.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=19122
A simple workaround...is to send the pic to urself...([email protected]) and once u receive it jus forward the url to people u wanna send it to. thaz wut they get anyway. that way you dont have to worry about different carrier mms addresses.
Others have a working MMS application installed through their carriers or none PPC Sprint phones. The beauty of MMS is the fact that it's so simple to send and retrieve the media. If it wasn't for that then we can just e-mail each other photos and skip the whole process.
this sounds like a great idea, until sprint lets us use it again, which i don't see happening

When you say send the pic to your self at [email protected] I am assuming you mean to your 10 digit phone #@sprint.pm.com
I sent a pic to myself via hotmail and I get the message returned to me...how did you do this?
you have the address wrong.
it's [email protected][B]pm.sprint.com[/B]

meh, im thinking about working on this. but believe me, i have a looooot of other things on my hands.
wouldn't be that hard though, a simple app where it just asks you the photo/audio/video you want to send and the destination number... and whisks it away....

Actually thats funny, because I have been working on this lol. Building the DB right now still. Do you happen to know of any third party MMS applications? Open source or the API's?
what language are you writing it in.. I would be more then Happy to help with the dev work.
I better start preparing to bow down to you guys if you crack this

Visual Basic
i developed a beta workaround,
see

COUNT ME IN.. I would rather c# but I would love to help. My roommate and I both are programmers and would love to assist? You looking for some help blue?
do you have any problems with sharing your code (which I am sure in in c++) no2chem

Frost be more then happy. As I told u in pm my last post is still pending it will shed some nfo on this. NU said he wrote in C++ not sure if he is willing to help. As far as I go I haven't wrote C in 7yrs never took on ++ though there not far off.
NUC - I will go check out what you have.

Seems like it might be a workaround as well as no2chem's... Just like teleflip and other SMS Gateways, but this one is international (and free)...

no problems really, but the code is very simple and is in c#...
c++ would have been too much time...
this code does nearly all the work...
OutlookSession os = new OutlookSession();
EmailAccount ea = os.EmailAccounts[0];
EmailMessage em = new EmailMessage();
em.BodyText = textBox1.Text;
em.To.Add(new Recipient(textBox2.Text + "@" + ((carrier)comboBox1.Items[comboBox1.SelectedIndex]).address));
em.Importance = Importance.Normal;
em.Sensitivity = Sensitivity.Normal;
if (imagename != null)
{
em.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(imagename));
}
ea.Send(em);
mapi.setAccountName(ea.Name);
if (mapi.forceSyncbyName())
{
MessageBox.Show("Message Sent");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Forcing sync failed, message is in your outbox.");
}
Visual Basic, I could use help new to developing on a PPC platform.
This is the function. The idea is to build a small DB because most people only have a small group of people they MMS. Easily containable in a personal config. A DB of all the carriers MMS addresses on file where users also configure a parameter of numaric class carriers with exceptions for ported numbers. Look a little like this to give you a basic idea. Like local zone 850-532-XXXX = ATT and 850-543-XXX = Sprint.
User adds contact in send list. App verify value as.
Load contact in string as send_to but we will only load first 7 chars
Open DB config file
Load DB config file
If send_to is = to a char value in config we auto address sending address as textBox.Text = string_to + carrier match
Else
Prompt string carrier_db user selects a carrier from list load to string usr_carrier
Then textBox.Text = send_to + user_carrier
Write send_to+usr_carrier to DB config
call Send_btn
EndIf
Obviously more then 1 IF statement is needed lol just a concept idea so you know what I am doing. As well an exempt file is needed for ported numbers to reference before the DB carrier file is called. Then if number is not listed we can call an ElseIf statement to carry onto the above. The grab contacts reference is also still needed.

"EmailAccount ea = os.EmailAccounts[0];" So you change the 0 to whatever number the email account on your phone is right? 0 being outlook... and i'm guessing an autonumber from then on?
Also what namespaces and assembly references are you using?

well, that was code for the quick beta.
Microsoft.Windowsmobile namespace, look into it =) its quite nice.
EmailAccounts[0] would pick the first e-mail account, it only can use e-mail accounts in outlook. i used[0] as a quick hack and slash test, but now i let them choose which e-mail they want to use, , you would just enumerate thorugh all the email accounts,
foreach (EmailAccount ea in os.EmailAccounts)
{
....
}

Saving a message as Draft (far from easy!)

I'm trying to save a message ad draft. I know, its an undocumented API, but it would be nice to see the messaging in any application.
Here is the code
Code:
Uri drafts= Uri.parse("content://sms/draft");
values = new ContentValues();
values.put("body", "Draft Body");
values.put("type",3);
values.put("address","+1234567890");
long date = System.currentTimeMillis()-60000; //just to test
values.put("date", date - date % 1000);
values.put("read", 1);
//values.put("status", -1);
//values.put("seen", 0);
//values.put("modified", 1);
contentResolver.insert(drafts, values);
I'm testing on android 2.2 froyo and the message get saved but in the standard messaging application no label "Draft" is shown. as you try to reply you get a message with the same address but empty body. Now, when pressing the return button and you get back to the conversation list the message disappear.
-- in my LG Optimous One the type get changed to MMS, date is set to 1/jan/1970 and CANNOT BE DELETED!
-- in the emulator the message simply gets deleted.
I tried other apps for testing and none was successful in saving a draft on my phone: (ChompSMS, [SMSdroid], Handcent SMS, GO SMS). The draft they save is seen in the standard application but the same problem applies when opening the standar application.
-- In Android 2.1 using the emulator everything works like a charm!
I'm really unpleased to see that basic messaging functionalities are so problematic and NOT OFFICIALY SUPPORTED in Android.
Anyone experienced similar problems? Did you managed to solve this issue?
Best Regards,
Marco

[Q] Monitoring called protected API Methods

Hi,
is it possible to write an App, which run in the Background and show a message for example when an another app wants to read the adressbook or the sms?
Something like an event handler which react when a protected API method is called?
Thx
... or is there sometging like an Breadcast Intent Message?
Nobody an Idea?

Text inside sql or text file

Hi,
I am designing my first android app. The app I have in mind is a songbook. I have a question on which would be better in terms of performance. Storing and retrieving the songs from individual text files or using an sql database with a text field. Would the number of song entry play a part in this decision too?
Thanks in advance

Both are eventuality using a text file for storing the data.
If you are lazy you can store it in the shared preferences as a json string using gson for serialization.
Using an SQlite for storing the data can require a bit more code.
Thanks for the reply.
