Set specific color of ImageView drawable to transparent?

Hi all,

I'm very new to Android development, a total beginner.

I've done a bunch of Googling but haven't found an answer to this question:

(Maybe this has been asked before, I couldn't find it)

Is it possible to specify a specific color in an ImageView drawable and not have that color drawn? Or have that color drawn as transparent?

I know you can just set it to the transparent color in the original file, but is there a way to tell Android, in code, or with a specific XML line or setting, to replace one color with another, or draw a specific color as transparent, within an ImageView drawable?

I know you can set background images to be tinted, or faded/transparent, but I mean, make it so a specified color in an ImageView is either not drawn at all, drawn as transparent, or replaced with a different color.

Really appreciate your assistance..!

Google Messages failed to send

In the past month, or so, I acquired a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and in order to utilize texts on the watch I switched my texting app from Textra to Google Messages. I never had an issue with Textra in the years I've used it. However, with Messages I get a "failed to send" on a text at least once a day. I have no idea why it's happening or what to do to correct it.

On att with S22 Ultra.

Mode développeur probleme

لقد جربت كل شيء ولم أتمكن من تنشيط خيارات المطور على جهاز Sasmung Galaxy S7 Edge مع Android 8.0. كلما نقرت على رقم البنية بشكل متكرر ، تقول أن وضع المطور قد تم تمكينه بالفعل. لكن يمكنني أن أؤكد أن الأمر ليس كذلك:

  1. لا تظهر قائمة "خيارات المطور" في إعداداتي
  2. حتى عند استخدام البحث ، لا تظهر هذه الإعدادات
  3. استخدم بعض المستخدمين تطبيقات تابعة لجهات خارجية مثل "ActivityLauncher" للبحث يدويًا في نشاط com.settings.Settings. $ DeveloperOptions. لقد جربت هذه الطريقة عدة مرات مع تطبيقات مختلفة ، فهي لا تعمل. محاولة فتح نشاط يتطلب وضع المطور يعطيني خطأ أيضًا.
  4. حاول إعادة تشغيل الهاتف عدة مرات ، وإغلاق جميع علامات التبويب ، ومسح "الإعدادات" - ذاكرة التخزين المؤقت للتطبيق والبيانات. لا شيء يعمل.
أنا في حيرة الآن ... أريد حقًا تجنب إعادة التعيين إلى وضع المصنع لأن هاتفي به الكثير من البيانات المخزنة عليه. أي أفكار حول كيف يمكنني حل هذا؟

how to free up storage

I've found a few sites that provide instructions on how to do this but I either don't have one of the selections listed or I don't have the "free up storage" feature that is listed.

This is my phone:

LGL164VL Rev 1.0

Android ver 7.0

Software ver L164V10a

How do I free up some of my storage? I'm getting a message that I need to do it or I may have trouble with the functioning of my phone.

thanks,
mike

Gun violence again...

Every day there's a new act of gun violence across the country.
I'm sickened by it all.
Let's face it... ANYONE can get a gun these days, regardless of age, mental health, ethnic backgrounds, etc...
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time seems to be whether you're here today or not.
I see absolutely no end to this problem and I think it's just going to get worse.

That's my rant.....

Wear OS 3.0

Get ready for the biggest update in Wear OS... ever!

Wear OS 2.5 was a massive upgrade from the old Android Wear platform, but still limited in capability. Google knew that, unless they did something dramatic, the platform would wither away. They partnered with Samsung to bring the best of Tizen, and the best of Wear OS, to a new unified platform: Wear OS 3.0.

Here is a quick rundown of all the new features expected:

Questions on Android Sqlite

Hello,

As a background, I've gone through free tutorials many years back but they taught me very basic / elementary items on how to use and navigate through the Android development tool. To worsen the situation, no one in stackoverflow can answer as that seems for high level professionals, not a beginner like me. The android development team won't help as they are handling the android tool itself. They stated they do not handle java. So I've no choice but to come here, hoping someone knows something.

I recently found useful and up-to-date tutorials about how to create Sqlite on Android but still, the tutorial teaches the whats, not the hows. That means if can only follow that specific example but can't write my own. The link clearly shows that a DBAdapter is not required. This surprises me as the android documentation clearly mentions the adapter, saying it is required. So does anyone know about this? Could you advice on every step as I'm not an expert?

Whatsapp backing up every day

Device: Galaxy S7. I've used Whatsapp for years and always had (and still have) Back up to Google drive set to only when I click 'back up'. Just over a week ago, I enabled end-to-end encrypted backup, it seemed fine. But since then, every morning my phone shows for some time (10-20 mins) Backup in progress as notification. Also below the 'back up' button it reads Your backup is being end-to-end encrypted for the first time. This process can take a while. Which seems strange as I thought this had completed over a week ago.

Help Can this Mirroring lag be fixed? - Solved

I am facing an issue with lag on one of my old devices and would like to know if it can be fixed.

The issue is on the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact running Android Nougat. This issue does not exist on the older phone that is Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Running Lollipop.

Both devices are rooted.

The exact issue on this device is as follows:

When I try to watch a streaming video from youtube it would LAG and makes the video unwatchable.

But it works normally when I stream a video from the phone.

It seems to be an issue with the buffer.

I got the same issue when I tested on the two Miracast devices that I have.

When using and connecting from the Xperia mirroring feature in settings I get an HDCP message that the device can only mirror from Xperia programs that include settings Home and Music and video apps. When I try to open another app it would disconnect.

So I changed some setting that I found online for two system files to bypass this problem. I still get that message but now I can mirror anything that I want, that is the reason that I rooted the device.

I also tried it from custom ROM (Oreo) and faced the same issue with the LAG but no HDCP message there.

There is a cast feature in settings as well that will mirror the device without any lag. But that works through the LAN network and not a direct connection and only one of my Miracast devices has that feature.

There are two ways to connect to Chromecast or a Miracast device. One is a direct connection and one is through the network. I want the Z5c to work the same like it does on the older Z1c. With no lag on the direct connection.

Issue with network

Hello everyone,

I have a Samsung M31S for the past 2 years. Great phone. But since last one month I am not able to make any calls or anything related to sim. At the place where the network icon should be I am getting a prohibition symbol (circle with diagonal line).

I have tried resetting the phone, but to no avail. The sim card is fine as it is working in other handsets.

Any help or suggestion about this is great.WhatsApp Image 2022-07-04 at 4.16.54 PM - Copy.jpeg

What kind of Warranty should I get for my S22 Plus? Is Samsung Care+ or SquareTrade good?

I think I just have bad luck, because my previous phone, a Galaxy S20 FE just bent and stopped working. I was generally careful with the device, always holding it witrh a tight grip and not dropping it and not damaging the device in any way. I really want to get warranty for the device in case I have problems like that despite my best efforts. I have heard some bad things about Samsung Care+ about on reddit and don't feel very confident about SquareTrade.

Display developed an annoying habit

The lower half, for lack of a better term, jitters constantly. This blurs whatever is rendered therein. Text is unreadable. I've never dropped it on anything harder than carpeting, in fact, it seldom leaves the house during the ~2 years I've owned it. It's never been wet.

I've done everything I can think of short of a factory reset, including booting into safe mode, flushing the cache, followed by booting into recovery and wiping the cache partition. None of this helped.

I'm open to suggestions.

Huawei T3 memory problem.

I have a 4 year old Huawei T3 10 running Android 7. I get the storage almost full message, but the storage settings does not respond. I have cleared memory before, but cant now.
Is the device knackered as its 4 years old, and I dont mind replacing it as its not a lot of money, but silly to do so if theres something I can do to regain storage.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
