Funny you did this, I was thinking of doing something like this to save us some time with the newbs, seems like these questions keep coming up, so a SDK guide is perfect. I was just looking for the time. Great work so far. ;)

Carhartt's double knees

R
Sure, it's a stupid question. I recently ordered some pants from them. I was trying to get double knees but they kept saying double front. I finally decided that there were other stats that I cared more about than that, and I went with them. The pants arrived and...big mistake. I don't mean unwearable. I can do that. The thing is I wanted tough pants for those outdoor jobs, messy stuff, etc. How do I get double knees next time?

Help Can I set ask for password before opening an app?/file?

S
The_Chief said:
On the Note 8, you can password protect apps... or, easier, just use that app in the Secure Folder.

The Secure Folder is like a separate phone, with Knox protection. You can have, for example, a social media app on your usual home screen; and a second copy of the app, with a different account, in the Secure Folder. If you have an app that you don't want to have access to your contacts, gallery, etc, just install it in the Secure Folder and it will only have access to what's in that folder.

I have 1 SIM card (1 mobile number) and 1 whatsapp, 1 telegram, 1 sms message icon, not using Secure Folder now. If I use secure folder, can I have another whatsapp, telegram and sms icon in my Secure Folder?

Removed apps - Constant data use

Hadron
It's still an impossibility for an app that has been removed to use data. So either this is being misreported or you are misunderstanding what it is showing. And for any data usage before you installed it Glasswire can only be showing what the system has recorded, so it's no surprise if they show the same.

Does that removed app usage look different if you look at different days? Just wondering whether the system records when data from apps that are no longer installed were used? See what it looks like tomorrow.

VLC for Android issues

puppykickr
I used to love VLC.
But those days are over for me.

Anyway, you can easily get a previous version of the app and have things exactly the way they were before.

If you use Google Play, you MUST turn off 'auto-update apps' in the settings, otherwise the app will be constantly updated to a new version.

VLC (The best video and music player. Fast and “just works”, plays any file) - https://f-droid.org/app/org.videolan.vlc

Scroll down to the bottom, and click on 'versions'.
Yeah, you may need to check out a few to find the one you want- but it is worth it.

Click on 'older versions' to find the one that works for you.

Power users, especially Linux: great file manager(s)?

MoodyBlues
Welcome to Android Forums, dgilluly! :)

Yes, ES was yanked from the Play Store last year, after it was discovered to be phoning home to China. :o Pity, because I really liked it. It is still being developed, and it's available in Apple's app store:

Screenshot_20200508-105426.png


...but Google wants no part of it. Heads-up: if you press the 'phone' button on their site, it will download an APK file that you can install. Don't. It's not worth the risk. They promised a year ago that they would fix the problem and be back in the PS...but it hasn't happened.

I have a Moto, too--but its stock Files app is so pathetic, I don't even have it in my app drawer! :D

How to stop BT autoplay upon reconnect

puppykickr
mikedt said:
I'm sure someone else was reporting the same thing happening with a Samsung phone and connecting to a vehicle BT system, with the media playing automatically.

Can't remember if there was a definite solution or not. And it's not something I've ever encountered myself. So I'm pretty sure it's not a general Android issue, and very well could be a Samsung specific "feature".

I use Foobar2000 for my listening, and that does have a specific setting to start playing when headphones are plugged in, which is OFF by default.

I think it was me.
My stepmom has a Samsung, and my father had taken me somewhere in their shared car.

When we pulled back into the driveway, her phone automatically linked to the car- because she always leaves her bluetooth on.

I don't think it is just a Samsung thing, because the same thing happens to me with my ZTE if I leave bluetooth on when getting in and out of my ol'lady's car when we travel.

I am surprised to see how many people leave bluetooth on all the time.

I can not find app folder ,please help

D
There are some caveats to rooting that others aren't mentioning that I thought I'd share. If you use any apps that rely on Android SafetyNet, you will no longer be able to install those apps through the Play Store. Which means you have to find the APK's for them and enable Unknown Sources. With that method that involves manually updating the application. Apps I've had to do this with in the past included Netflix and Snapchat. For that reason I don't have a rooted phone anymore. I mean there's ways to root it to get around that, but it's very manufacturer and model specific, meaning you have to have a device from a company, that is okay with their users rooting the device. Most aren't.

To answer where you can find the app's files, most apps do typically install in the data partition (user accessible), with the exception of built in apps, and manufacturer installed apps which will be in the oem partition (not user accessible). Typically app files nest inside of Internal Storage (or SD if your app is installed to a card) -> Android -> Data. What folder the app is in is in a typical reverse domain or subdomain format. For instance, parts of the Facebook app are in folders that start with "com.Facebook..." Where this gets tricky, is sometimes the app's name isn't involved in this folder structure. Instead it can be a website that belongs to the person that developed the app.

Hope this helps.

           </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
When i select a radiobutton, i should like that the others radiobuttons would uncheck even if they are in another radiogroup.
The code java that i used is here:
Java: 
isChecking =true;
mEstateTypeGroup1.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup radioGroup, int checkedId) {
                if (checkedId != -1 && isChecking) {
                    isChecking = false;
                    mEstateTypeGroup2.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeGroup3.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeGroup4.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeCheckedId = checkedId;
                }
                isChecking = true;
            }
        });
        mEstateTypeGroup2.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup radioGroup, int checkedId) {
                if (checkedId != -1 && isChecking) {
                    isChecking = false;
                    mEstateTypeGroup1.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeGroup3.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeGroup4.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeCheckedId = checkedId;
                }
                isChecking = true;
            }
        });

        mEstateTypeGroup3.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup radioGroup, int checkedId) {
                if (checkedId != -1 && isChecking) {
                    isChecking = false;
                    mEstateTypeGroup1.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeGroup2.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeGroup4.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeCheckedId = checkedId;
                 }
                isChecking = true;
            }
        });

        mEstateTypeGroup4.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup radioGroup, int checkedId) {
                if (checkedId != -1 && isChecking) {
                    isChecking = false;
                    mEstateTypeGroup1.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeGroup2.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeGroup3.clearCheck();
                    mEstateTypeCheckedId = checkedId;
                    }

                isChecking = true;
            }
        });

But when i execute this code in my app, the selection of radiobutton doesn't work properly. For example: when i check a button and i check another button, the first button isn't unchecked.

Please could you have any idea?
Thank you
