android-settings

Application I'm working on uses both Locations and BLE and if location or bluetooth are disabled I have to ask user to enable them. Latest Google Play Services provides a standard way to do that using LocationSettingsRequest which checks requirements and raises standard popup if changes to settings are required. It works like a charm for location alone but once I add SetNeedBle (true) to LocationSettingsRequest I get a status SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE . The only my guess was I need to add AddApi (FitnessClass.BLE_API) call to a GoogleApiClientBuilder as it might be vital for BLE

Background: Android 5 introduced a new UsageStats API that can be used to query time spent with different apps. This API is used in several apps for detecting the current foreground app (as discussed in several questions, like this ), but: This API requires the permission android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS, which is a system-level permission and will not be granted to third-party apps. However, declaring the permission implies intention to use the API and the user of the device can grant permission through the Settings application. As the permission is not presented to the user, apps send

The majority of the Activity Actions (used to launch various Settings activities) in the Settings class come with a warning : In some cases, a matching Activity may not exist, so ensure you safeguard against this. So how do I safeguard against this ? try { final Intent i = new Intent(Settings.

I would

I have an android application in QT. I would like to call android settings from a button. I used this code in Java : public void usb(View v){ Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.DevelopmentSettings"); startActivity(intent); } Is there a way to call android settings using QT C++? QAndroidJniObject makes it possible to create JNI objects from Qt C++ code. For example: to get the activity: QAndroidJniObject activity = QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("org/qtproject/qt5/android/QtNative", "activity", "()Landroid/app/Activity;");

App requirement: To detect when a phone is on Ringing mode with the Vibrate Setting being OFF so the problem comes down to : detect whether the Vibrate Setting is OFF or ON Relevant information: To start with, Vibrator has no method like isVibratorModeOn() and the Flags related to Vibrate and EXTRA_VIBRATE_... are all marked deprecated with: This constant was deprecated in API level 16. Applications should maintain their own vibrate policy based on current ringer mode that can be queried via getRingerMode(). But under getRingerMode() , we won't exactly know if the vibrate setting is off or not
