Inbound/Outbound Wifi calling

svim
Just focusing on the Google Voice app (it's hard to nail down just what Google is doing with the Hangouts app or Hangouts service these days), it sounds like you need to enable Call Forwarding so your cellular service number that's linked to your Google Voice service and enabled on your Moto X4. Reading through this might help:

Help How to know is my s7 with broken screen is working or not ?

svim
Could you explain more about why you think the screen is 'broken'?
If the display is dead, how can you see that NO SIGNAL OF WORKING message? Typically, you should not be able to see any activity on the screen if it is broken.
This sounds more like the phone needs to be re-flashed with a working ROM so it's functional again, or that there's just some other problem, maybe software, maybe hardware, that's causing the phone not being able to boot up properly, not necessarily the display. But whatever the case, this doesn't appear to be a good buy, can you return it to your 'friend'?

Help Screen Broke - Need Help

svim
There's a good chance your phone's display isn't the only problem that might be the real issue that needs to be addressed. Even if the display did fail completely, this wouldn't necessarily kill your phone completely. The fact that you apparently your phone isn't even charging or booting up could be an indicator that when it was dropped that could have affected some internal component(s) inside, not just the physical damage you could see on the outside (screen cracking). Replacing the display may or may not even be the actual problem. Even if it was working for time after the accident, just hypothetically something like a solder joint in the motherboard could have damaged and didn't fail completely until later.
A phone that's been dropped and isn't active in any way should probably be checked out by a reputable phone servicing center.

firmware update?..

quartz11 said:
thanks..whats the pre 5 security concern? I mean I don't want to zonk the phone, because the things that I need on the phone work at the moment - basic calls/texts, camera. alarm clock. in an ideal world I might want to download walking trackers and things like that

tbh I'm not interested in custom firmware or anything...samsungs own official will be fine. if...I try it

Help How see all images on Smartphone

i would also recommend google photos. it stores all of your pictures in the cloud so that you do have to worry about backing up your photos ever again. you can even set it to only backup when connected to wifi only. this way you save data consumption.

Thank you for reply. But google photos sort images by folder, you can't see all images in one place, and that I do not like. But files by google app can, so that's better for me.
Backup on cloud is nice thing, but I do not need that, I do that manually :)

The special relationship just got a bit more.. special

Hadron
Actually Trump has this week said that a condition for a deal is that US tech companies don't pay taxes on their activities here, i.e. that the measures Hammond announced that are due to come into effect next year are dropped. Johnson has said he supports them, but he always says what he thinks the people he's speaking to want to hear and it never means anything. Truss (in charge of trade) believes in bending over for anyone with money or power, so will happily sell the country out for nothing.

How to set different notification sounds for apps

G
vinoman said:
I followed your instructions and there is no Sound option in Advanced in my version 9.
Notification only has On with no other options. My version 9 is missing these functions!
Click to expand...
Glad you got it fixed but you have to click where it says Notifcations On.That opens up a second menu that will have Mail among a list of options, you click that. Every app on your phone has a menu like this under Android settings, you could change your text notification the same way.

Edit: for the default messages app it's:
Apps & notifications> Messages> Notifcations > Other notifictions>Advanced>Sound
edit 2: I just tried the way going through Gmail's settings, it takes you to the same system menu. Only difference would be going through Apps & Notifications you can change the sound for any app all the same way.

Here is what the end menu will look like, this is a screenshot from a g6 on Android 9

Apps Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

mcpixel
RLScott said:
The first thing you should do is re-evaluate why you are trying to use a handler in a thread other than the UI thread (which as a system-supplied looper).

Handlers only work by virtue of loopers. Almost everybody who uses handlers uses them in the UI thread because the UI thread runs under a looper. A looper is like a dispatcher that dispatches events to handlers in your code. These events can be anything from button presses to timers expiring. The UI code is built upon the idea that it is supposed to respond to events and then quickly return to the system (which is a looper).

A worker thread, on the other hand, is generally something that you start up to do something on its own without any interaction with the user. There are special mechanisms provided by Android to allow a worker thread to signal to the UI how it is going and when it is done. But basically the thread just runs straight line code, being interrupted only by Android OS time sharing and by calling blocking system methods (functions that must wait for something to happen before they can return.) It is never a good idea to have a thread sit "spinning its wheels" so to speak.

So if you really want to use a handler in your worker thread (as distinct from the User Interface thread on which the rest of your app runs) you have to become very familiar with loopers and how they are used. But I suspect you don't really want to create a handler. If you want to communicate with the UI thread, then use one of the recommended methods of doing that.

I figured out this question by removing from the code the creation of a new MainActivity class to access the variable inside it. That was my biggest mistake.

NestedScrollView and Searchbar

wseng92
I hope is not too late to answer your question.

In your MainActivity, you can use
CoordinatorLayout, which used to include a new layout called app_bar_searchable, and also wrap your recyclerView.

Example

Java: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:id="@+id/coordinatorLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

        <include
            android:id="@+id/include"
            layout="@layout/app_bar_searchable" />

        <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
            android:id="@+id/swipe_container"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
            tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
            tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="134dp">

            <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
                android:id="@+id/workRequestRecyclerView"
                android:name="zoinla.com.mypropertytech.fragment.WorkRequestFragment"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:clipToPadding="false"
                android:paddingBottom="@dimen/recyclerview_padding_bottom"
                app:layoutManager="LinearLayoutManager"
                tools:context=".ui.fragment.WorkRequestFragment"
                tools:listitem="@layout/fragment_workrequest" />
        </android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
    </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Then in your app_bar_searchable, you can design whatever you want it to be looked like.

Java: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/SearchableActionBar">
    <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">
        <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@drawable/round_background"
                android:elevation="1dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/container_margin_large"
                android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/container_margin_large"
                android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/container_margin_large"
                android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/container_margin_tiny">
            <ImageView

                    android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/container_margin_medium"
                    android:src="@drawable/ic_search_24dp"
                    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
                    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
                    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
