Force Stop buton and restart app

You mean that you want your app to restart even if the user explicitly stops it and doesn't choose to restart it? Can I ask why?

Obviously the app itself cannot do this - if it is stopped then it isn't running any more and so can't restart itself. What you need is something else to restart it, either the operating system or some other process. I'm not an android developer so can't say whether there is a way of telling the OS that this app is so important it must be restarted if it isn't running. As a user I'd probably uninstall an app that simply respawned if I deliberately stopped it though.

Adding AdBlock Plus to Android Tablet.

Set adguard to block ads in all apps.
Try using the Adguard program. It is very good, I would say the best anti-advertising application. I've been using it for half a year. To be honest, I really like it, I like that the advertisement that appears everywhere every minute does not appear now. I was already very nervous about this. I didn't know how to get rid of it and I had read an article about ad blockers. I remember that Adguard was in the first place or among the first in that ranking. I don't remember exactly, but I know I decided to install it. I don't regret it at all.

Accessing internet through app

Have your tried just restarting your A40? That's always the first thing to try when a quirky problem like this pops up.
If you're having this problem with WiFi connectivity, it's typically a good idea to restart your router too.
If this is happening with mobile data, try re-seating your SIM card.
But it would make things more clear if you could provide more details on just which online connection is the problem. Or is it happening with both WiFi and mobile data?

which app is this

I assume this is not an app on your own phone, because otherwise this would be trivial. But can you tell us where this appeared? I'd guess it's a notification icon, but it's a little unusual for the same app to put up multiple icons.

By the way, there are literally millions of apps out there, so it's a very long shot that anyone will recognise this. Just so you know. Asking the person whose screenshot you saw it on is probably the most reliable way of finding out.

Won't download anything

Thanks for the come backs all. I rather expected that age would be the problem

Hi Robert,

Yes, I've still got my HTC Desire S which was my first Android device bought in 2011, running 2.3.5.

It's still in (almost) full working order and is a great little music player apart from the headphone output which is distorted but bluetooth still works.

I have PAYG SIM in it so it's also useful as a spare/emergency phone.

I managed to get Opera Mini browser downloaded but for the reasons stated by others do not intend using it for accessing the internet. It is far too slow when compared to current devices, as well as the security issues.

Question about android studio (sql)

Hey guys, i just wanted to know is it posible to do a database with check boxes? im trying to do a battleship game on android and was thinking to edit the ships possition with checkboxes, that would change database value like 1 to 0 or the other way around. Myabie anyone have a better idea how to 8x8 database (i thought to limit the id number to 8 and just create 8 collums like x1, x2, x3.....)

What is the recommended DB, platform, and format for developing video sharing app?

I am working on a project that is somewhat similar to the way Netflix works (as a streaming service), and have the following requirements:

  • Database that stores video files
  • Create group that can access the video
  • Ability for Owner to invite/add users to the group(s)
  • Video can be played/paused, and resumed if users close and come back to watch later.
  • Users in the Group can watch the video at the same time
  • Email/push notifications whenever owner of a group uploads a new video ready for watching
Now I have last developed in Android some 4 years ago, but in terms of cross platform compatibility, e.g. iOS and Android, what is the best approach for this project?

Should I use AWS or Azure to host the database? Would SQL database work well with storing videos? Is MP4 the best format considering its wide compatibility? From my android experience, I developed an App in Android studio, but is there a better alternative to develop an app that can work for both iOS and Android at once?

MMS MESSAGING

Try re-locating to somewhere that you get a usable cellular signal. Once you get a solid mobile data connection see if sending/receiving MMS works again.
Which brings up a question, were MMS messages working out previously and now its a problem, or has it been a problem for a long time? If you've always had this problem, you might want to quit trying to diagnose what's going on and just take your phone back to Straight Talk. It's on them if they sold you a product that doesn't work with their service.

Edit -- Crap, I forgot we're all in a lockdown situation. Never mind about taking it back to a service center.

What app uses this

Welcome to Android Forums, Swinfo! :)

Unfortunately, identifying random icons is, as my buddy @ocnbrze says, like looking for a needle in a haystack! There are billions of Android icons...

If you're interested in why I think it's very unlikely your unknown icon will be identified, please read this post and/or this post.

By the way, if it's on your device, what happens when you pull down on it or long-press it?
