I am trying to use Android Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI to CRUD device bookmarks from within my app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elementique.web ) It's working fine on most of the devices, but does not work on some :-( On those devices, trying to use bookmarks leads to java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown URL content://browser/bookmarks I now understand that Boookmark Uri can be different than the AOSP default value (i.e. "content://browser/bookmarks"). Question: How can I get the correct Bookmark Uri for a given device? I already 'collected' the following URI private

I'm querying the CallLog content provider and need to detect the column types. In Honeycomb and newer (API Level 11+) you can get a columns preferred data type by calling the method Cursor.getType(int columnIndex) which returns one of the following types: FIELD_TYPE_NULL (0) FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER (1) FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT (2) FIELD_TYPE_STRING (3) FIELD_TYPE_BLOB (4) How can I accomplish this on pre-Honeycomb <11 devices? I've tried the following: for ( int i = 0; i < cursor.getColumnCount(); i++ ) { int columnType = -1; try { cursor.getInt( i ); columnType = Cursor.FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER; } catch (

This issue was reported several times, but still not resolved yet. I read all messages/thread which somehow related to this topic either in Samsung's developers site or in StackOverflow Let me again describe whole problem just in few words: Developers used to get list of SMS conversations through simple query like: Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/"); Cursor cursor = context.getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null); or something like this. Key point here's URI address: content://mms-sms/conversations Everyone knows that it's unofficial and one's

In my android app, I use SQLiteOpenHelper to implements ContentProvider. Query, add, delete operations are all through ContentProvider. But in one of my android phone(htc g13), I found *.db-wal file in directory /data/data/[package name]/databases. And the file size increate very fast when operating with ContentProvider. It occupied user RAM space too much. It is recommended to close the SQLiteOpenHelper to solve my problem (it is useful) in post enter link description here . But I want to find a "place" to add the "close()" method since I am not using SQLiteOpenHelper directly (using through

Recently Google added the Photos app for Google+ (plus) and it shows up when you launch an Intent to choose an image. However, if I select an image from Google+ Photos and try to use it in my application none of my current logic is able to return a usable URI or URL to actually get an image that I can download and manipulate. I'm currently using the "common" methods to try to manipulate the URI that can be found here on Stack Overflow and elsewhere. I can provide code if needed, but at this point I think it's kind of irrelevant since it works well for everything else except this new app. Any
