I am attempting to create my first Xamarin.Android app that uses the camera (I have already written many other apps that do not use the camera). I am writing my app using Xamarin.Android (NOT Xamarin.Forms) & C# (NOT Java). I have found documentation & samples related to Camera2 (Camera2 overview | Android Developers) & CameraX (CameraX overview | Android Developers), however, these were all either using Java or using Xamarin.Forms instead of Xamarin.Android. I would also like to learn to use TextureView to display the preview (although this would be my first time for TextureView as well, so if that is not appropriate for this thread is too complex, it is not the most important topic here). I know how to make all the standard parts of an app, it is just the camera that I need help with. Can anybody help me or recommend a good complete sample or tutorial that includes ALL components (including required NuGet packages, permissions & other things specific to a camera app)? I am also going to mention that I am using Visual Studio 2022 (NOT Android Studio). Thanks.

Hello, I really need help. I'll keep it short.
My phone broke. something on the display is cracked and my phone only shows lines when turned on. no screen, nothing. I really need access to an app I have on my phone and the phone is unusable. This is urgent.. is there a way to connect my phone to my pc and mirror it despite it being broken? I really just need the app..

IMHO the S2 is STILL the best 8' android tablet to date. I bought x2 new when they first came out. The original batteries are in them. I've always kept them plugged in. My S2 stopped its GPS functioning about a year ago. I have been unable to bring it back. Otherwise, it works just fine. My wife's S2 continues trucking along as she plays endless word games on it and reads e-pubs. I wish Samsung had continued the line.

I am not familiar at all with installing apps to a cellphone. I have ended up with a Motorola G Power 2021 and it is TOTALLY filled with apps that are tied to Google.

Long time ago Google locked me out of my email because I refused to provide them with additional personal information. So, I have no access to Play Store even if I wanted to do so.

I am on my laptop to access this forum and ask: How do I get F-Droid app so that I can then get apps to use on my phone? Can I download it onto this laptop and then install it to my phone? It doesn't seem logical to use Google's Chrome browser to get F-Droid so that I can then Avoid Any And All Google apps. I don't want to continue even limited web browsing via Chrome.

Maybe this very dumb but can someone inform me on this?

I have an app that you enter some values into an sqlite database... then I need a crontab type thing running that will based on your config settings run every minute, hour, day, week or month... and it will read the data from the sqlite database and then using an API interact with my website to do some things.

In the app you set up the crontab interval

How does one do this?

Thanks in advance for your time

After some fairly recent software update, I got the new security rule that I have to enter my password (not use my fingerprint, as I usually do) to leave the lock screen every so often. I hate this.

Is there some way to turn off that particular security feature?

Hi!
I want to simulate wallking with any fake gps app, and measure distance with another android app.
The problem is what the other app doesn't recognize the fake location and
doesn't measure the wallked distance.
The phone is Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G.
I need a help to make this two apps work sincronized.
I can give you details about other application.

Thanks.

When I open a music file (on my Nokia TA1060 phone) it plays, but then automatically opens and plays the next file which I dont want to happen.
So I installed Music Player app, but the same seems to happen with that, even when I created a play list it still auto plays.
How can I stop auto play?

When I click the link to download AndroidForums app in welcome email I get an error message. Also no such app appears when I search Playstore

Does the app still exist? How do I get it?

I use a Bluetooth keyboard from Logitech generally using Hungarian QWERTZ

I have tried three keyboards two of which give the wrong character for "shift + 1", but a third does it correctly

- Samsung Keyboard wrong "!"
- Gboard wrong "!"
- External Keyboard Helper (Playstore app) right "'"

"shift + 4" on all keyboards produces "!", which is right

This leads me to think that:

- the Logitech keyboard may not be at fault (because the Playstore app works okay with it)
- Samsung and Gboard look to be at fault: why produce the same character with two different keystrokes?!
- Gboard might be using the mapping set by Samsung

I have the same problem on both S10+ and on Tablet S7

Are there any files I could check? Google and Samsung don't want to know about my problem

I can only assume that it is part of a recent update (Samsung S21 Android 12) but when I minimize or pause a running app, like a music player, maps, etc. a hovering icon for that appears on my home screen. If I reopen the app with that floating icon it opens up a foreground window for that app instead of running full screen. What setting controls this and how do I turn it off? It is incredibly annoying.

Hola me gustaria saber si alguien aun tiene la recuperacion para este modelo, ya lo busque por toda la red y no encuentro mas que enlaces caidos, gracias.

Hello, I would like to know if someone still has the recovery for this model, I have already searched for it all over the network and I can only find broken links, thanks

I got Android 13 OTA yesterday. It was
1.02 GB update but took only 2 hours. After the install, I started going over the new items I read about in one of the articles. It had two changes under Wallpaper & Style. First was the additional color schemes to match your Wallpaper, which I have.
Then, there should be a setting for icons to match the color scheme. The article from Android Police said, "Material You also lets you change the color of your home screen icons to match the rest of your theme. The feature was introduced in Android 12 in beta. It's still labeled as a beta feature now, but Android 13 officially extends support for these color-changing app icons to third-party apps.". The article on Reddit says the same. But I don't have the icon setting. I wonder if it's because of my Verizon carrier or could Google have dropped it in the final release?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If anyone knows me well enough, the first two things I do on a new Android phone (or good used old one) is remove the Play Store and disable the Download Manager (to keep Play Services from updating/forcing server side updates on other apps or allowing them to force updates on me/respawning the Play Store/etc)

I'm an old school Android guy. I didn't need app stores then, and don't need them now. My browser is Dolphin Mini from 2009 (ironically it works on all modern sites thanks to System WebView being used by it)

Though I no longer believe in updates for various reasons, there's 4 apps I often have to update to use them and I tend to do those updates twice yearly to avoid the annoying, flow-breaking 'you must update this app to keep using it' prompt. Those apps are Walmart, Kroger, Little Caesar's and Burger King. However, many sites listing APKs like APKPure, APKMIRROR and so on, tend to only list the most recent app versions of those apps as 'XAPK'.

I tried to install one, and it failed acting like it had no idea what an XAPK is. I agree. I never heard of it and I can't find much info online about it. All's I know is I cannot just tap and install from the file explorer like I'm used to doing, so now I'm stuck on the last APK only variants from May 2022. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do with an XAPK or know of anywhere I can download the regular APK or is this just another 'future' I'm unprepared for?

Trying to transfer memos from the old Samsung Memos app on a J5 to Notes on an A32 Android 11 and it's not working. Various sites say to copy the ShareMemo folder to the new phone and I did that; it's in the phone now > go into Notes > Settings > Import Data From > Phone, but it's not seeing the folder. Same if I copy over the .memo files separately.


My old phone doesn't have Samsung account so transferring through that isn't an option.

I am logged into my google account on my home computer-I am also logged into my account on my S20. Whenever I use google maps when out & about, it opens up and shows the location of my home (where my computer is). How do I change this so that it uses the location I am physically standing in with my phone?? Thankyou

I have looked everywhere online and can't seem to find anything about a hacking problem I'm having. It sounds crazy I know but right now I'm just grasping for help & this isn't probably a site that can help me but I figured all you could do is laugh & maybe tell me I'm crazy. But it's worth a shot ok I can be in one Google account that has full service but tap anything in it and it will say no connection. But everything else on my phone will work fine or I can see everything on my Facebook wall & messager but be locked out. Or at least that how the person use to do it now I can just tell by the icons when there in my page. And of course there's message that will be read I didn't read some put back to unread I've already read. I know it's someone around me that's doing it but my thing is regardless who there already in my phone. My calls, emails and I can see on one phone apps I can't do anything with that say not for this user. I tried taking guest mode off I've signed out everywhere on everything though it was fixed but no. I don't understand it doesn't show any phone but mine I have to say most the time. Sometimes it will just say android signed in. I have added more security it doesn't work. I mean even my flashlight that came with the phone will go off 4 no reason pictures seem to be taken but I can't find them. It's like with my flashlight s/t it's like a notification but nothing there I hear it. Then today me & another friend where talking about how well get a call and the screen disappears. She's been having the same problems but bought a new phone & still the something. Idk how to get them out my phone I made a new Gmail that didn't work. I know it sounds crazy but honestly I may feel that way at times but I know better I've seen ppl do things on phones before I couldn't believe. But unfortunately I'm not that tech savvy. Can anyone help me in anyway?

A few days ago no one has been able to hear me when I'm on call via car Bluetooth. When connected the audio/calls settings look as they should be.

I tried my husband's s22 and he doesn't have any issues with my car so its come down to my phone.

My android phone is locked and I can't get into the phone. It's a motorola g pure. I am desperate and I have tried all I know to do. I think it was hacked. If anyone can help let me know on this blog. I would much appreciate it. I need to get into it preferably with my information saved.
I'm going bonkers! My carrier can't help me. Hope this is enough info. I'll check back in a few days. Today is 8-19-22.

Thank you!

I have created files on tablet in created folders.

But when I edit created file and then save file in created folder created file is not updated.

Files are saved in long Folder tree of many levels.

This has only happened recently. In the past file saved has been to original created file.

Why has this changed?

I own a Pixel 2 and use the Gmail app to sync Gmail and Yahoo.

When I create a draft in my Gmail account, using the Gmail app on the Pixel it synchronizes to the Web Browser on a PC.

When I create a draft in my Gmail account, using the Web Browser on a PC it synchronizes to the Gmail app on the Pixel.

When I create a draft message for the Yahoo account with the Gmail app on the Pixel, it doesn't synchronize to the Web Browser on the PC.

When I create a draft message for the Yahoo account with a Web Browser on the PC it does not synchronize to the Gmail app on the Pixel.

however,

When I create a draft message for the Yahoo account using the Yahoo Mail app on the Pixel, the message synchronizes to the Web Browser on the PC.

When I create a draft message for the Yahoo account with the Web Browser on a PC, it synchronizes to the Yahoo Mail app on the Pixel.

Do the Gmail app, and the Drafts folder for a Yahoo account not work well together? I have over 100 folders in my Yahoo account, and everything else synchronizes fine. All of my Gmail folders synchronize including Drafts.

Thank you.

Hello people.
I had a game published back in 2016 and it got the whooping 1000 downloads
,
so I decided to polish it a bit, to add some new questions and conditional logic aaaannd... here's the new version:

Google Play




I'm not a professional developer, just building stuff in my free time, sometimes.. last time was as I said 2016


So, please don't be too harsh with the reviews and stuff.
I hope some of you might have some fine moments in the rest room with my tiny quiz.
Here's few screenshots, just to check if the colors and design match your liking without clicking on the google play link for no reason. Including the simple rules of the game screenshot. * image quality here might be lower than actual in-game stuff.
Reading a review on google play or replies here will make me very happy.
I'm not a very social person IRL, so yeah.. you know I guess.
Thank you and be well!

Is there a way to stop the most visited sites or whatever those are in a new tab in Chrome 94.0, Android 11? Not sure if they're most visited or suggested (different from Discover which I have turned off). My goal is to have a completely blank page.;

The following method has been suggested but it doesn't have any effect:

go to chrome://flags > search for "Explore websites" > set it to Disable

After I had missed a few calls, I went to the volume control page to assure that ring tone volume was turned up. There are green lines with slider buttons underneath "media volume" and "alarm volume" but not under "ring volume". On the page that lists available ring tones, none of them sound the tone when clicked on. Vibrate no longer works. I tried shutting the phone down and rebooting. Resetting it might work, but I am not sure how to back up, then retrieve, my contact list and would hate to lose it.

I've lost the wall charger and charging cable that came with my phone. Where do I get replacements? The Samsung store doesn't list anything they say is compatible with the S10.
