android-4.4-kitkat

I am mystified by two approaches to making BT connections in Android. This is what I have done for as long as I can remember, and it has worked from 2.3+ devices to early 4.x. This what the Android docs describe as well. private static final UUID sppUUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB"); bluetoothSocket = bluetoothDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(sppUUID); bluetoothSocket.connect(); This has ceased to work on some newer Androids (Nexus 7 running 4.4), Cyanogenmod with this result (or similar): java.io.IOException: read failed, socket might closed or timeout,

So this video Android 4.4 SMS APIs from #DevBytes explains the recent changes to the SMS APIs in KitKat. They also provide a link with a sample project. http://goo.gl/uQ3Nih They suggest that you handle the receive of an MMS in a service. Which all looks fine, except they neglect to mention the most undocumented piece. How to actually handle an incoming MMS. Here is the sample from the project https://gist.github.com/lawloretienne/8970938 I have tried to "handle the MMS" https://gist.github.com/lawloretienne/8971050 I can get the extras from the intent but the only meaningful thing that I can

This question already has answers here : How to disable the Recent Tasks/Apps button (5 answers) Closed 3 years ago . We have an industrial control app we write and ship pre-loaded on Samsung Galaxy Tablets with our manufacturing products. The tablets we were using were Tab 10's which ran Honeycomb, but we can't get enough of those to OEM anymore so we're switching to Tab 4's which run KitKat. The new tablets have a button which looks like the old menu button - two overlapping rectangles - but it's different functionality - it's called the "multi-task" button and it brings up a task-switcher

After intial Eclipse Luna setup when I try to run the intial Hello World app in the Android Wear emulator, its getting stopped showing "You cannot combine swipe dismissal and the action bar" error in logcat.Please help me to solve this issue. I had the same problem yesterday. I solved it by running the application in full screen mode, I do not think this is the best solution, but it worked, although this does not have the action bar. In you onCreate method add this before the setContentView. requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG

Before Android 4.4 I was able to stop messages from moving to inbox by setting the priority like this <receiver android:name="com.serviceschedular.helperClasses.SmsReceiver" > <intent-filter android:priority="1000"> <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> and then abortBroadcast() in onRecieve() messages. However in Android 4.4 we need to define SMS_DELIVER_ACTION in order to make our messaging app as default : Getting Your SMS Apps Ready for KitKat By doing this I can receive messages first and they don't move to any other messaging app

How can I use ViewPropertyAnimator to set my view width? I can scale or translate (see below) but I can't set to a specific width. frame_1.animate().scaleX(5).scaleY(5).start(); but there is no frame_1.animate().width(1024).height(768).start(); Try this, support even from Android 2.3: ValueAnimatorCompat exitAnimator = AnimatorCompatHelper.emptyValueAnimator(); exitAnimator.setDuration(TransitCompat.ANIM_DURATION * 4); exitAnimator.addUpdateListener(new AnimatorUpdateListenerCompat() { private float oldWidth = view.getWidth(); private float endWidth = 0; private float oldHeight = view

So I just realized that onStop is getting called in my Activity when the power button is clicked to turn off the screen. Previously only onPause was called. Was this a KitKat change and are there notes about it anywhere (was it intentional)? Is this a KitKat change or something that specific manufacturers implemented? EDIT: I'll be updating this soon with more info . I think the change was more subtle than I first realized, possibly due to me holding a partial wake lock or listening for GPS updates. Regardless, all I know is that in my code, prior to KitKat, onStop was not called when the

I recently upgraded to Android 4.4 and someone of the features of my app have surprisingly stopped working. I have this code for initializing and then drawing my custom view. The basic idea is it adjusts the zoom level so the entire view fits on the screen. private void initAtZoomLevel(float zoomLevel){ .... Matrix transformMatrix = new Matrix(); transformMatrix.setScale(initialZoomLevel, initialZoomLevel); float yTransCenter = (screenHeight - mapHeight)/2.0f; setImageMatrix(transformMatrix); } protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas){ super.onDraw(canvas); float[] values = new float[9];
