Help Making a shortcut to playing a specific audio/video file

My android phone will open the camera app if I double press the power button quickly twice. I want to remove this shortcut and also, instead, I want to make it such that, if I long-press the power button, then a file (usually audio or video file, but can be anything) that I chose last time will automatically play. If it's an audio or video file, then it should automatically start playing. Is this possible without making a new file? Is there an app that makes it possible to create this already?

re:SMS

I still use it as it does exactly what I ask it to do. It basically becomes AIM for mobile. two-way chat. All I need it to do, no data needed (and since I hike a lot and work where I only get bars and no data not needing it works better plus no forced app updates like you get with WhatsApp, plus no giving your info to Zuck)

Overseas folks laugh at the US using SMS but it does the job I ask of it. If it ain't broke..


But in the olden days of 1998 when it became standard, they charged BY THE LETTER (especially Cingular, it was 1 cent per letter) so I think that was the origin of 'text speak' with hard-to-decipher messages such as 'whr r u?'

Launching the MediaPlayer

I have tried about 30 or more code snippets to launch the media player and play a mp3 file selected by the content uri. None have worked. They keep getting me tangled up in permissions or other errors. Some don’t even error, just nothing happens. Does anyone have some code to do this that actually works? I would really appreciate some help on this.
Thanks

PS I have the permissions to open the filepicker and select a file, then save its data including the stringUri to a database. I then retrieve the stringUri and convert it back to a contentUri, but I can’t get it to play.

A Fragment that overlaps a control (e.g. button) on the underlying Activity

I have a Fragment that overlaps (entirely) a button control that resides on the underlying Activity in which the Fragment resides.

I know, that's weird, but that's how I want it to be.

The Fragment is initially Invisible when the app starts up. When a certain button is clicked on the underlying Activity that Fragment is made to be visible, using the show() function of the fragmentManager, e.g. :

fragmentManager.beginTransaction().show(theFragment).commit

That works just fine and theFragment does indeed become visible, totally obscuring another of the buttons on the underlying Activity.

So far that's exactly what I want it to do. [ Again, I know that's weird ]

I EXPECT that the underlying, now obscured, button will then be inaccessible to the user. He can't see it, the Fragment covers it up.

HOWEVER, if I actually do a click motion on the place where the button actually resides (hidden, underneath the Fragment), the button actually does get clicked, it's OnClickListener function does indeed get called.

That is NOT what I expected to happen. I figured that if a Fragment obscures some underlying control then that Fragment's UI takes precedence over anything that's beneath it.

Is there a way to indicate that the Fragment does indeed prohibit any underlying controls from being accessed since, after all, the user can't see them?

Yes, I could explicitly disable any and all underlying controls and re-enable them when the overlaying Fragment is again made invisible (hidden). But I'd really like it if there were a way to simply tell the Fragment to take precedence over any underlying controls.

PHone number format

I have notices that some of the mobile numbers in my phone book are showing a +44 (then number) and then I have a duplciate with the standard 01473 prefix.

I know that the +44 is the UK interntinal number.

Is there a way to tell Samsug S21 to always store the local number and not the + 44 format.

I never go aborad so can't see that I ever will need to dial it in the internsaitonal format

SAP ABAP

Hi ABAP Experts,
I'm facing an issue with displaying data in an ALV grid using SAP ABAP. I have written the necessary code to retrieve the data from the database table, but I'm having trouble displaying it in the ALV grid format. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance on how to resolve this problem.
Here's the code snippet I've been working on:
abapCopy code
REPORT z_test_alv_grid.

DATA: it_data TYPE TABLE OF z_custom_table,
wa_data TYPE z_custom_table.

SELECT * FROM z_custom_table INTO TABLE it_data.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
i_callback_program = sy-rapid
i_callback_top_of_page = 'TOP-OF-PAGE'
it_fieldcat = lt_fieldcat[]
TABLES
t_outtab = it_data[].

IF sy-subarc <> 0.
MESSAGE 'Error displaying ALV grid.' TYPE 'E'.
ENDIF.
I have already defined the necessary field catalog in the lt_fieldcat internal table.
The issue I'm facing is that the data is not being displayed correctly in the ALV grid. It either shows blank cells or does not display any data at all. I have double-checked the field catalog and the internal table, and they seem to be populated correctly.
Any suggestions on what might be causing this issue or any alternative approaches to displaying the data in an ALV grid would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards, please consult for more details

Help Lost Microphone

Thank you for your reply. The other message I got was Mic can't work in "incognito" mode. Looked and cannot find what that refers to.


Quick Edit: (Speaker Phone works!) but still cannot dictate to notes program(s) or g-board. Checked all settings and programs; none have changed as far as I can tell. Please help:(

Hacked need guidance please

there is nothing as far what phone has better security than the other. so get whatever you can afford and suits your needs for a phone with the exception of getting a phone that has a finger print reader.

as far what else you can do, i would change all of your passwords that you have an account with. i would also recommend that you set up two step verification where possible.

Help Reformat SanDisk SD32Gb

Samsung PRO 125GB [...] probably a bit on the Overkill side but should take care of My Storage. Thanks to All for your Assistance ‍, much appreciated!!
You think that's overkill? I'll probably get a 1 TB (1000 GB) card for my tablet. But my tablet runs two operating systems, Android and Windows, and some of those Windows games eat up a lot of space. My advice: Don't feel too bad about overkill on an SD card, because SD cards have a lot of uses. For example: I'll be reusing my tablet's current microSD card as a USB disk. The card just needs an adaptor to turn it into a stick that plugs into a USB port, rather than a little card that could get lost easily.

Addendum 2023-07-15: Considering that I'm doing work with backing up my files on cloud storage, that 1TB is coming in handy! True, the point is cloud storage is to not have to store files locally. But files still must be downloaded from, and uploaded to, the cloud server. That requires that files be stored temporarily on your computer (and smartphones are computers).

Apps Scraping text from android app to desktop

Hi everybody! I'm working on a project where I want to extract text from an android app to my desktop, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any libraries/similar projects that I could use. I've searched online but the projects/articles I found mainly seem to concern scraping web traffic to and from a phone, which isn't really what I'm after since the apps I'm looking at store data locally.

Another question I have is about the development of such a feature. Since I've never worked in the android environment I'm not quite sure about the terminology and such, but would using the accessibility features of the phone be a good approach to solving such a problem? I looked at the app "Universal Copy", which seems to have similar functionality to what I'm after and from what I understand that is built on accessibility features.

Thanks for reading :)
