Apps content provider authorization help

Hi there.

I'm a totally newbie in android development and trying to understand how contact content provider works.

My assumptions so far:

1) To work with contacts content provider via URI's you should be able to pass oauth2 authorization first.
I.e. not enough to have rights in your application.
2) If you work with AOSP - based OS, say, in a car and pair with Bluetooth device then contents of contacts are filled with data by means of framework via, say, PBAP of Bluetooth.

3) If you want to connect another phone then all data from previous one is lost.


Am I right in my assumptions?

Location not showing GPS

That doesn't do what I need. That is a time stamp on photo. I need GPS location embedded in file. My GPS uses location info to place image on map where it was taken.

Also the folder saved in can't be any external storage, like my GPS. MyFiles can move the images so I know it's possible.

I did find an app that has embedded GPS but it can only save to a folder on internal drive. Still useful.

Coming from a S9+, Not liking this new phone so far.

I broke down finally and got a new Galaxy S21+ 5G as I wanted a bigger screen for GPS purposes. I was expecting more, but outside of the bigger screen, I liked my former S9+ better.

Some reasons:
1. Can't add more memory
2. S9+ is a better looking phone
3. Stuck with the finger print circle that shows (faintly) on all screens, messages, photos, home screen etc. This one really pisses me off and I'm told that ALL android phones have this. If I don't use a screen protector, it doesn't show... but I must have a screen protector on there. Since I make a living with wildlife/nature/landscapes etc. customers can see that circle in the pic, almost ruins it.
4. No more LED light??? I depended on this blinking light that stayed on until I looked that the text mail. This is a biggie with me.
5, Having issues with my text message showing popups such as "Message saved as a draft" that won't go away while texting AND stays on even if I go to another page like home page, gallery etc. What the heck is this???

There is more, but I'm trying to iron out the bugs so far. I've only had this phone two days now and not liking it.


Okay, I'm liking the phone better now since I fixed #3, #4 and #5. I have three posts on those

[APP][FREE][5.0+]HelloWords: Learn Language Fast

Great app. I love all the new apps coming out to help the world learn English. Most of the people I know spend hundreds of dollars every year to teach their kids English. I understand that in the past the tools available online were not many, but since we live in the era of information there are many apps like this who are free and extremely helpful. I was trying to teach the other day my son about contractions for example and it took me just a Google search to find this page and print the worksheet for him.

What is this icon for?

Thank you!
no worries

you got lucky. we get this question almost every day and most go unanswered.....mainly because there are just way to many apps out now(we are talking about millions upon millions) to make recognizing a notification icon nearly impossible.

so for future reference you can either look into the phone's notifications to find out.....or....just ask the person.

Help - camera focus Redmi Note 9

thank you - but I want the whole photo to have reasonable focus, not a specific area! That’s the issue. It seems to automatically focus on specific parts (at the expense of others) when that’s not what I want.
i would play around with your camera's settings. there must be some kind of focus mode that it is on and just needs switching. i do not have your phone so i can't help specifically.
