My app with only one activity runs perfect on all emulators including the Samsung Galaxy S3 emulator provided by Genymotion. I am using the Android Studio.

It was caused by bad quality USB port/cable. Problem dissapeared when I

I am not getting any error or exception - just not getting anything... There is a lot of questions about this topic and it seems to be problematic (something about camera orientation) but counldn't figure out the final solution for a simple "take a picture and present it" code. here is my (problematic) code that doesn't work: private void setUpListeners() { takePicture.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void

I was reading the following article about updating an app to take full advantage of devices like the Galaxy S8 or LG G6 https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/03/update-your-app-to-take-advantage-of.html And what I want to do is to test the app in an emulator of these screens and test it before and after adding the line of code the article suggests: <meta-data android:name="android.max_aspect" android:value="2.1" /> I have tried creating an AVD inside of Android Studio with a screen size of 5.8 and a resolution of 2960x1440 (Galaxy S8 screen resolution), and my app runs fine without

I have this problem only on Samsung Galaxy SIII running Android 4.1.1. There is no problem on Samsung Galaxy Ace and Samsung Galaxy Y. The broadcast SMS received is not firing up, when SMS is received. No other SMS app is installed on the phone. I am using the following code to receive the SMS broadcast smsReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.d(TAG, "Inside onReceive of smsReceiver"); Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras(); Object[] messages = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus"); SmsMessage[] sms = new SmsMessage[messages.length]; //

I have a samsung galaxy s and i have made an application that make a list of sensor in the phone.

I want to open my application immediately when S Pen is detached , How can you do this, if the methods put under onSPenDetached is only called when my application is opened again?

Attaching and detaching the stylus creates Broadcast Intents of type com.samsung.pen.INSERT with a booleanExtra named penInsert of false if detached and true if put back into the device. Thus a Broadcast Receiver can be created that filters this kind of events. The following code is for such a Broadcast Receiver
