android-4.4-kitkat

I am experimenting with the new Android 4.4 translucent navigation bars and would like to set the navigation bar as translucent using the FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION flag. I only wish the navigation bar (back, home button etc) to be translucent - I want the status bar at the top of the screen to appear normally I.e. NOT translucent. The code I am using to achieve this is: if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) { Window w = getWindow(); w.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION); } The problem I

Till Android 4.3, an Android device with Bluetooth Low Energy support could only act as a central device. As is given in the Android 4.3 Bluetooth LE docs: Android 4.3 (API Level 18) introduces built-in platform support for Bluetooth Low Energy in the central role and provides APIs that apps can use to discover devices, query for services, and read/write characteristics. With the introduction of Android 4.4 KitKat , can it also behave as a peripheral device now? I couldn't find any documentation of that. If not, then do we have to wait for Android 4.5 for getting the BTLE peripheral mode on

I call ConsumerIrManager.hasIrEmitter() on my LG G2, but it always returns false . According to the documentation on Infrared transmitters : When running on a device that includes an infrared (IR) transmitter, you can now transmit IR signals using the ConsumerIrManager APIs. To get an instance of ConsumerIrManager , call getSystemService() with CONSUMER_IR_SERVICE as the argument. You can then query the device's supported IR frequencies with getCarrierFrequencies() and transmit signals by passing your desired frequency and signal pattern with transmit() . You should always first check whether

Please read my question introduction before reading the real question: In Android there are an internal storage and an external storage . Don't be confused, because the internal storage relates to files that are accessible only by the app, and the external storage relates to normal files that can be accessed by all apps and can be found both in the real internal storage card (the phone's sd card) and in the real external storage card (the removable micro sd card). My path of the phone's sd card (the one that you can't remove) is: /storage/emulated/0 . My path of the micro sd card (the one that

I'm using following code for hiding status bar with full screen purpose: void HideEverything(){ if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) { getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); } else { View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView(); // Hide the status bar. int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN; decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions); // Remember that you should never show the action bar if the // status bar is hidden, so hide that too if necessary. ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.hide(); } } It shows

Is there any documentation around Android 4.4 KitKat's (well specifically Nexus 5 for now) step detector and counter APIs? I tried to search a lot but did not find anything. I am planning to try my hands on these new concepts and want to use the API but there's nothing around it on the Internet. I found an example for you, hope it helps in someway, the sensor explanation on the API page is pretty straight forward too..

I've got an application that has two search suggestion providers that both extend SearchRecentSuggestionsProvider , and I've set it up correctly in the manifest file with the following Intent filter and meta-data: <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable_tv" /> The searcable resource includes android:includeInGlobalSearch="true" , so that should be fine. And I've obviously got a provider there as well: <provider android:name="com.miz.contentprovider
