I'm using the new Wi-Fi Direct API from google on Android 4.0 and in Sample code they send the User to Settings, to activate WiFi -Direct Mode. Is there a way to Start it by code??? all they offer is to listen to WIFI_P2P_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION intent, and then use this code String action = intent.getAction(); if (WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)) { // UI update to indicate wifi p2p status. int state = intent.getIntExtra(WifiP2pManager.EXTRA_WIFI_STATE, -1); if (state == WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_ENABLED) { // Wifi Direct mode is enabled } else { // Wifi Direct

I've come across a backwards compatibility issue when deploying my application on android 1.6. Im getting a VerifyError on this piece of code: if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) { getActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.actionbar_bg)); } This is not unexpected since getActionBar() doesn't exist pre API 11, however post-1.6 (API 5 and higher?) builds all semi-gracefully go around this according to the logcat message im getting when deploying for example on a API level 8 device; 06-27 16:47:04.333: INFO/dalvikvm(11529): Could not find method com.me.app

I want to create button with drop down menu, like overflow menu button in ActionBar on ICS. I have problem because PopupMenu there isn't in android 2.x. The second way using Spinner but it's not for me, because Spinner always show the first item on my custom background or my selected item. How can I acheive it? In general, I want ContextMenu but little and on position clicked view. Thanks. It looks like this : If your purpose is to recreate an action bar, you could take a look at the ActionBarSherlock project, which backports thoses functionalities. If you want to be able to pop such a menu

I have searched a bit around for a pager for fragment , I develop on ICS API. I know about ViewPager and all the support libs for earlier version but i don't get why I should use a support library consider the fact that I use the lastest version of the api and don't plan to support earlier version. Do I have to write the "ViewPager" myself or is there something i didn't see in the api. Does the Android ICS API have a native equivalent to ViewPager support lib? No. I know about ViewPager and all the support libs for earlier version but i don't get why I should use a support library consider the

I'm a fan of the menu button as used in Android <3.0, as it was very useful for my game apps - it allowed me to take important but gameplay irrelevant functionality (saving game, reference info links) and place it somewhere where it did not clutter up the main game interface, but was still easily accessible (the options menu). This use of keys became a problem with 3.0, because it removed the MENU button and substituted it with the Action Bar. The Action bar is really not suitable for a game which likes to run full-screen, so that was a real pain. No action bar - no access to the options menu.

I'm trying to turn the stock ICS launcher into a standalone app. I'm nearly there - the only things not working are the search icon and dropping widgets onto the screen, which causes a crash. The crash is because the stock launcher uses appWidgetManager.bindAppWidgetId(appWidgetId, componentName); to add widgets, which apparently only system apps have permission to do . So my question is, what is the correct way for a non-system app to add widgets and acheive the same UI experience as the stock ICS launcher ? Timmmm, Your issue is that you are looking to the wrong object. You can't really
