To be honest I don't know precisely where under the hood this is: I'd have to dig out one of my older (rooted) devices and poke around in /system and see whether I could spot anything. Knowing Android it will be in an sql database somewhere in there.

But I am quite sure that without rooting the phone you will not be able to see it. You'll need administrator access to do something like this.

What file explorer are you using? The one of mine that offers the standard system dialogue for apks is Solid Explorer, and I just checked by setting 'use always' for the system package installer and it has definitely remembered that, even after restarting the device. Now if it's using the system dialogue, rather than handling the intent itself, it shouldn't matter what app you use, but given that my other 2(*) file explorers handle apks differently maybe it is worth trying with a different one just to see.

(*) I also have Google's 'Files' app, which came with the phone, but this is such a mess that I don't count it as a file explorer. It's honestly like they want a file explorer that hides the filesystem from you! Maybe it makes sense to former iPhone users...

Add app to share menu

I create csv and tsv files with no extension, or .txt extension. I want to be able to feed the file into google sheets, but it is not in the list that comes up when i select "share" in my current app. (In fact I'd love to be able to remove some of the choices the menu gives me.)
Click to expand...
well all i can say is that apps like google sheets will only except certain types of file. i see no way in forcing an app to except a file extension it was not originally designed for.

maybe somebody with some coding skills might help, but i do not see how you can make an app do this....especially one from google.

have you looked to see if there is another app that accepts those file extensions?

What to commit/push to git

Savvasun
So, I have a repo on GitHub, and I've connected everything together in android studio, but now I don't know what to commit. I originally thought everything updated itself, but then realized you need to push all the changes made to Github. I found out that all the files in red are the one with changes. Once I was connected to github all the files in the project were red, so now I am confused as I don't know if I need to commit/push all the files right now, or leave them be. Also, selecting each file to commit and then pushing them sounds like a lot of unnecessary work when all I want to do is work on a project on my laptop instead of my pc.

REVERT!! 10->9

Hadron
Ok, I think I know what happened to that "drag the button and hold" gesture. I just tried experimenting with the new gesture navigation (briefly, as it only works with the pixel launcher) and I see that swiping left/right in the gesture area does the same as doing so with the bottom button does now. So I reckon that they've just kept that gesture the same between the two modes rather than preserving the behaviour of the android 9 two-button method. It would be very Google to just focus on their new thing anyway.

The real problem I have with their new navigation, apart from linking it tightly to their own launcher, is that getting to the recent apps list is slow by design: if you have to swipe up and hold to get the app switcher rather than the drawer that is an inherently slow method. So it removes both speed and fluidity from the gesture. And this isn't just a matter of adjustment, it is inherently slow and awkward. Yet there are so many other ways they could have done this that would not have produced this problem. It's just dumb.

Dash style Android ROM/APP

Hadron
You have an app with these controls you want to use? If so then if the tablet is new enough to support split screen mode (2 apps on display at the same time) you might be able to produce some approximation that way.

Otherwise I think the simplest solution would be an app which provided a small tab or swipe area that you can position on some edge of the screen and use that to pull your controls out when needed. There are various apps that provide little custom menus that work like that, so I know it's possible. And that wouldn't require a custom ROM.

If you really want the controls always on screen, as opposed to always available, then that's harder. They'd interfere with other apps' UIs unless you could shrink those apps to the space above them, which might be possible if the multi-window feature is flexible enough (I almost never use it, so don't know), or else that may need a custom ROM, but a lot more custom than any I've ever met. (I'm assuming here that these controls are larger than could be fitted by some radical customisation of the navigation bar: I know that a degree of customisation of the nav bar can be acheived with an app, but don't ask me how it's done).

Help Server error occurred. Restart Camera.

domoarigato said:
When I'm using the stock camera app, I often get the error "Server error occurred. Restart Camera."

I then have to close the camera app, and restart it. It's a hassle that often results in missing shots.

I have tried clearing the data and cache for the camera app. I have also updated the stock ROM to the latest Nougat version available.

What is causing this, and what is the solution?

I have been experiencing the same problem take a picture then it returns the error. Has anyone helped you resolve this issue? Were you able to correct this problem?

Can Fingerprint Be Used Without System Lock Screen?

Hadron
Yes, a fingerprint will unlock it. But you cannot set one up without enabling another unlock method such a PIN or password. This is for two reasons: it gives you a backup if your finger is wet or dirty and the scanner won't work, and as fingerprint is regarded as less secure phones will intermittently ask for a more secure method as verification.

I find fingerprint no inconvenience, as I just put my finger on it as I pick the phone up: I never actually see the lockscreen. So I don't really understand the objection. But android does have other options for disabling the lock screen when e.g. it is connected to a particular Bluetooth device, for those who do find this an issue.

Apps How to get the Id of selected database records in spinner

P
Hi. I am using spinner where it displayes the names of students. There is table studentrecords which stores Student Id, FirstName, LastName and class. The requirement is that when I select the student name, then its Id, FirstName,LastName, Class should be displayed on text box. I have the below code. How should I get the Id of the selected student.
Java: 
package com.example.anitaa.studentapplication;
