skystream

I need to know how to get pluto tv onto my skystream box. I live in Canada where it's not available but I heard there's a way to do it. I've moved myself to Detroit through a GPS emulator but it still doesn't show up on google play

You'll more than likely need to move your IP address into the US as well, using a VPN, once you've got the app installed. Pluto TV will only stream to IP addresses in the US.

How to Root Galaxy J3

Welcome to Android Forums, Asif Ahmed Taiyeb!

Please follow the link @James L posted. Do not--repeat, DO NOT--use any one-click root method. :eek:

At best, they may root your phone, but you won't learn anything from the experience. At worst, they can do devilish things you'll be unaware of. Do it yourself or don't do it at all!
Amen!!!!!!!!

I concur. One step methods ate not the way top go. Learning how to root is key and will provide you with skills that you might need later on when things go wrong.

Create an app to access and external exported activity

Hi! I am new in Android development, I would like to ask how would be the code for an app "A" with a button to call an activity from another app "B" that is exported. If this activity give you access to sdcard files, how can I download those files or modify those files from the app "A". This would be for hacking demonstration purposes

You'll be using Intents. Google has guides to teach you how to do that and there are other sites on the web with tutorials.

Read the last sentence in the first paragraph, which is what you described that you'd like to do.

Add location of Google Maps to Second Activity

Hi! I developed the main activity of my app. On there there is a button which when clicked goes to the Second Activity.

This is my first app, so I needed suggestions on a design issue. I downloaded the Google Play Services because I want to create a real-time locations map on the Second Activity page. The issue is:

1. Should I develop another app with the Google Maps, then link it by including it in the Second Activity.kt code?

2. Should I work with only my first app, where I code a real-time Google Maps into the Second Activity? This by the way on how you do it is a little difficult to search for.

Need a app and call blocker for specific...

I'm wondering if some sort of kiosk mode would work. I have zero experience with this myself, but I believe they can be used to eliminate access to everything except what the users should have. In other words, the drivers would see nothing but what you want them to see/use.

I vaguely remember a 'family tracking' feature I set up on one of my early Android phones, just for the hell of it. It had to be through Google...a quick search yielded this support page about it. The app is called Family Link, and is intended for parents to control what their children can do--and shows where they are. I don't know about any potential legalities using it for adults. The point really is, though, that this is doable. Maybe not with this app, but doable.

Keyboard Won't Stay Chosen

Thank You Game Theory for the link. The directions are quite clear. I'll save them so when next I have to do this, I won't have to fumble around!

I think I figured out the de-selecting problem. (Key words are "I Think".)
When I moved a keyboard from SD card storage to Phone storage, it seems to stay selected. Well, at least so far...

Thanks Again DannyDet & Game Theory for taking your time to help me out and for the great tips!

Will s10 snapdragon variant work in india?

Officially the snapdragon 855 won't be available in India, you could try any of these stapes though if you really want snapdragon 855
  1. Buy the Snapdragon 855 varient of S10 from Alibaba/baggood/amazon or any third party retailers. You will have to wait for long and pay extra for shipping and may or may not have to pay customs
  2. If you have any friends or relatives in US or Canada or even UAE ask them to buy the phone and send it to you or ask them to bring it with them.
I have someone in UAE however the thing i am worried about is region sim lock of samsung, exypansys.ae mentions the device is unlocked but there's no way to find out if its region unlocked or not

Could I easily tell if the screen on the Motorola G7 Play is cracked?

Yes, cracks would be easily visible.

I don't want to be rude, but you've posted about half a dozen threads worrying about whether normal use will destroy your phone. They are not that delicate: try not to drop it, sit on it or immerse it in water (or other fluids), be wary on a beach (sand and salt water), but otherwise you don't have to worry so much.
Not rude at all. You're just trying to help, and I appreciate it.
