I wish to delete the users entire SDcard programmatically in Android 2.2. What is the easiest way to do this? Will it require root rights? Can I just do an "rm -rf /mnt/sdcard" or do I have to make a recursive loop? Peter Knego You can delete directories with Java. You have to do it recursively if they are not empty: http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/DeleteDir.html No. All applications have full RW access to external storage. Yes you can execute shell commands (but you'll have to check if "rm" is available): Any way to run shell commands on android programmatically? Checking for

I'm developing an android application. I'm using android 2.2 In my application I am capturing GPS data and sending it to service with the 1 hour time interval. If user exits from application it's also working (it is required). I'm using 2 services (User defined), one for capturing GPS data and other for sending to the server.

I want minimize my app size as well as avoid the app from reverse-engineering. Can anybody help with simple answer? Proguard is part of the android eclipse plugin, so you do not have to invoke it manually. You just need to activate it on your build. To enable ProGuard so that it runs as part of an Ant or Eclipse build, set the proguard.config property in the <project_root>/project.properties file. The path can be an absolute path or a path relative to the project's root. For some situations, the default configurations in the proguard.cfg file will suffice. However, many situations are hard for

I installed Android SDK and it's taking almost 7 GB on my (relatively small) SSD. When I open Android SDK Manager I can see that everything is installed even older API versions. Same thing for the Extras : Can I safely un-install all the versions and only keep the latest one (API 17 in my case) ? I use Andoid SDK Tools to develop Android Apps with eclipse. Thank you. Just delete the packages you want to uninstall. You may still want to retain some of the older SDK's so as to try your apps on lower platform. I personally keep GB(API 10), ICS(API 14) and JB(API 17). Also what you can try is just

A short tutorial for people like me who had some trouble finding a way to implement TabHost and ViewPager, including page swiping with fingers and tab click to change pages. The shown solution is compatible with Android versions 2.2+. It includes Tabs initialization, ViewPager connected with Tabs and Page Scrolling management. Its main peculiarity is the optimization for earlier versions of Android (Android 2.2 (Froyo), API version 8) and the simple implementation for different purposes. ᗩИᎠЯƎᗩ The tutorial includes 4 classes and 2 layouts. It has been tested with an Android phone 2.2, and you
