Help Need help with running Youtube app on MeCool BB2 Pro Android 6.0 Tv-box

Stampede said:
One day when starting Youtube app I got the message that I need to update the app and the next one was that the latest version is not compatible with the device anymore. So i intalled older version, menaged to open it, but now videos doesnt load at all, there are stuck at buffering forever.

I've tried installing couple of even older versions but it didnt help at all. Same thing happens in Chrome when I try to watch youtube via the website.
The built in update app says the device is already running on latest software.

Is there a way of using device with Android 6 to work with Youtube ? Some modified version of the app maybe ?

Also does youtube check server side which version of app is trying to access it, then and allows only latest clients as a form of forcing people to buy new gear ?

Thanks

I think the answer was in your first sentence. "I got the message that I need to update the app"

It's not really trying to force force people to buy new gear? It's not as if YouTube makes $$$$ from sales of whatever it is TV boxes. YT makes most of its bucks from ads.

Maybe YT changed protocols, could be older versions of the YT app had security issues, that needed fixing and updating. Those are often reasons why services may force you to update client apps.

If Chrome doesn't work, try a different web browser, like say Firefox. Latest versions of Firefox still run quite happily on Android 6 AFAIK.

As for updating your Mecool BB2 Pro. Apparently it was updated Android to 7.1. Could be the update needs to be flashed manually using a PC? Check with the manufacturer's tech support.

API Redirect_Url

Hello, I have an issue with the redirect_url in the OAuth2 Process with the FitBit API..

User is directed to the Authorization Page in Chrome Custom Tabs (recommended). When clicked "agree", user is not redirected back to application or I get an error message.

I find the documentation on the FitBit website very unclear..



I have already set callback_uri in many different ways, with different outcomes:


Local Page with Auth Code, no redirect because not specified:

- http://locallhost.com/


Error Not Found:

- http://locallhost.com/callback

- http://locallhost.com/redirect


Oops it it not you, it is us..

- https://www.fitbit.com
- https://www.linkedin.com


Setting in the Application Page are correct.

Settings in the Manifest are the following, adapted per redirect..

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<data android:host="www.locallhost.com/redirect"
android:scheme="http"/>
</intent-filter>


My Questions:

- What are the rules and expectancies regarding redirect_url in general, and for the FitBit API in particular?
- How can I set a working redirect_url for testing purposes on local machine?
- How can I set a working redirect_url in production before buying a domain name?

How to set the height of view to be the same as another view?

P
Hello, I'm begginer. In relative layout on image view which is aligned to the bottom of parent (relative layout) I want to put a button which would have height the same as image view. How can I do that? I can't make button to be child of image view. If I could, I'd do match_parent. I read that I can use frame layout to put view on view but I can't bottom align view when using it. Using Android Studio.

Camera App Interface

Which camera app do you recommend?

I really like this app except for the stupid screen overlay. I don't know why they changed it. The screen shot I posted doesn't look as bad as it actually is. Sometimes the overlay is really dark and it's very hard to see the whole picture.

Imaging

E
Hi all,

I am new to Android Development. I have been looking at how to create a Bluetooth app to communicate with my Arduino and I have picked up a better understanding. My problem is now a little different and I am not sure where to start. I read in data and from my Arduino and I store it in an 2Darray in 128x128. I would like to should this image on the app. Convert each data to its corresponding color. For example if Array[0][0] were 5 I would like that pixel to be red and if it were 0 blue. Then I need to be able to display that changing image every time a new set of 128x128 information is read. Can anyone please point me in the direction I should be looking?


thank you.

Total Launcher

W
Just loaded it and set it up - looks great.
Don't know if this is the place for more specific question - is there a forum for this launcher?
1.) I find apps often give me an intermediate window where I again have to hit "launch application" - I'd love to make that go away and just have it launch.
2.) I'd love to be able to toggle off the visibility of the grid of plus signs.
Thanks, in any event!
