Help Automatically have notifications for Android apps turned off after installing them.

Hey. Every time I install an Android app through the Google Play Store, it automatically turns the notifications on for that app so I have to remember to go to "Settings" to turn the notifications for it off, and if I forget, my phone will go off in the middle of the night, waking me up to some junk notification that I don't want. I've searched everywhere on the internet and in "Settings" and I haven't found anything. Is there any way to make it so that any Android app will have notifications automatically turned off when I install it through the Google Play Store?

New user ... no app?

New user, already posted on the topic that brought me here, hoping to get smarter while here. :cool:

I got the welcome email, and on the list was "(1) Download our Official App" with a link that doesn't work. I can't find the app in the store or on this site. Is it gone, is it moved, am I terrible at searching?

Thanks all.

[PAID] Bug Dolls - Horror Game (Promo Codes)

Hello! We are a small mobile game development company. Today we released the Bug Dolls - Horror Game. We are big fans of Silent Hill and have been creating this game for 2 years.
It will take 15 hours to complete the game. Also, there is no donation in the game. The game has multiple endings. We tried to make high-quality graphics and the game has a lot of different details

This is a horror game about a small town engulfed in dangerous bug dolls.

The action takes place in the small town of Zhukovsk. In the autumn of 1991, the entire population of the town was evacuated for an unknown reason.

You are an ordinary resident of the city who did not have time to evacuate and you are forced to get out on your own.

In the game you need to explore the deserted city, solve puzzles and find a way out of the situation.

Android Glide load saved drawable in variable

Hey all I have looped to gather game icons which I put them into a variable that is inside an class:
Java:
public class AndroidModel {
   private String name;
   private String title;
   private Drawable icon;
   Intent androidLaunch;

   public AndroidModel(String name, String title, Drawable _icon, Intent _launch) {
       this.name = name;
       this.title= title;
       this.icon = _icon;
       this.androidLaunch = _launch;
   }

   public String getName() {
       return name;
   }

   public void setName(String name) {
       this.name = name;
   }


   public void setTitle(String title) {
       this.title = title;
   }

   public String getTitle() {
       return title;
   }


   public void setIcon(Drawable icon) {
       this.icon = icon;
   }

   public Drawable getIcon() {return icon;}


   public void setLaunch(Drawable icon) {
       this.androidLaunch = androidLaunch;
   }

   public Intent getLaunch() {return androidLaunch;}
}
In my mainActivity:
Java:
class AppInfo {
   String appname = "";
   String pname = "";
   Drawable icon;
   String Source = "";
   Intent Launching;
}

AppInfo newInfo = new AppInfo();

newInfo.appname = activityInfo.applicationInfo.loadLabel(getContext().getPackageManager()).toString();
newInfo.pname = activityInfo.packageName;
newInfo.Source = activityInfo.applicationInfo.sourceDir;
newInfo.Launching = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(activityInfo.packageName);
newInfo.icon = activityInfo.applicationInfo.loadIcon(getContext().getPackageManager());

androidList.add(
   new AndroidModel(newInfo.appname, newInfo.appname, newInfo.icon, newInfo.Launching)
);
And I'm calling that back up once Glide populates that page by doing this:
Java:
@SuppressLint("UseCompatLoadingForDrawables")
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(AndroidAdapter.MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
   ImageView imageView = holder.mPhotoImageView;

   if (!mAndroidList.get(position).getName().isEmpty()) {
       Glide.with(mContext)
               .asBitmap()
               .load(mAndroidList.get(position).getIcon())
               .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL)
               .skipMemoryCache(true)
               .priority(Priority.HIGH)
               .signature(new ObjectKey(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis())))
               .apply(new RequestOptions().override(150, 150))
               .into(imageView);
       holder.mTitle.setText(mAndroidList.get(position).getName());
   }
}
But it seems to crash my app once it gets to the load(...) part. I know it has the app icon because I check it out using this:



and it came up just fine.

So what is it that I am missing in order to load these drawable variables into Glide?

Help App that sends photos directly to a printer

Evening,

So, me and my partner of 5 years are getting married next year, and we’ve just found our place for the ceremony & evening celebrations.

We’ve been looking at everything we need, and one of the items on the list is some sort of photo booth for guests to have some fun and create memories.

We really don’t want to go down the hire route as it is just ridiculously expensive, and honestly if we're going to spend that much we'd rather just buy something to keep. we’ve found a few specialized “mini” printers that require certain apps, but we can’t test these our unless we purchase. But it’s got us thinking...

Does anyone know of an application where you can actually take a photo and have it sent automatically to a printer?


Thanks!

How to display all my info on a multi line text

I'm trying to display all my sensors in a multi line textbox, I used "Multiline Text" as it was required for a programming assignment. Currently if I display it with my setText I think it's just rewriting the editText every time it loops in the For loop,

upload_2022-4-15_14-28-12.png

but the Log displays it just fine.

Help Help to close a window

Hi all,
I have an app that has created an annoying window which can't be closed. Weirdly, it is only visible when my phone is held "in landscape".
On windows systems there are programs to help investigate open windows, often using crosshairs, and kill the window or program associated with it... is there such an app in Android???
Thanks in advance...

[Edit] I can't provide a screenshot, but the window looks like a Facebook login, but isn't listed in the regular app list, and does not close when Facebook is forceStopped. I think it was started by one of the floating apps, which I had installed and "played with".

Extract data from .trace files (from the profiler in android studio) for visualization?

So, I have a few .trace (CPU performance) and .heapprofd (Memory usage) files that I exported from android studio profiler. However, I want to know is it possible to extract the performance timeline data from these files to visualize them externally (say using python)?

I understand these files contain a lot of information but I am only really interested in the overall CPU and memory consumption data. Also, if there is any other application that can allow me to export CPU performance and Memory consumption of my app in a more readable file, that works for me as well. All I want is to profile my app and visualize the performance externally (so I can customize the graph).

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Video editor apps

Hi. How are you??I would like a video editing application to be easy to use.We want to cut scenes and keep them for a new merged video.If it's easy, we want to cut scenes using the timer.For example "from 1:13 to 2:46". Something like that.It is difficult and time consuming to cut scenes with clips in the applications we tested.Friendly greetings.Thank you.

WhatsApp BANNED - Cleared ad infinitum.

Hi,

I am new here so forgive if I do something in error.

I need help with WhatsApp - I installed WA for a friend easily no problem but whilst Overseas I also started an install for myself on my Android Smart phone.

Unfortunately the install broke off part way through due to rickety line etc.

I thought nothing of it and when back to UK purchased SIM and Re-Installed WhatsApp once more.

But I am now faced with being constantly BANNED and requesting Clearance - which happens every time - but then almost instantly BANNED once more.

I never get to actually use WhatsApp at all - I don't need it so much but would be usful to have available for Family stuff.

I think what is happening is that during the first 'Install, WA took note of the actual Phone ID itself and because I no longer have the initial SIM I could not use the WA rouitne to 'change' Phone Number.

I think WA have some sort of Scanning routine checking the Phone ID against Phone NO - that they are in Sync.

Obviously mine is not so constant BANNING and CLEARING.

Do I have to throw this SMART away - as do not seem to be able to change ID - there must be some way of explaining to WA this situation - it just needs a complete clear out of both Phone ID and Phone NO on their System and let me re-install.

But it seems to me I am talking to an AI Robot at the WA end of things and I get nowhere.

Every time I request it states I am checked and all is well - then off we go again BANNED.

Can anyone out there help/advise?

Best Rgds

Spyware/stalkerware?

Someone has been trying to break into my home so I have been recording videos. I noticed that sometimes the screen will get blurry and hard to see while recording then will clear back up mostly and I can see images of people and things that move but are transparent and not there when you look with your eyes. Does anyone know what's going on or how this is possible.

Cannot text or call any one with an Apple

Hello all,

I have recently developed a serious issue in that I cannot send/receive texts from anyone with an Apple device and with very few exceptions call or receive calls from Apple devices.

The back story: Towards the end of March my phone was acting all sorts of buggy, and after contacting Motorola during which their Level Two diagnostics team remoted in and found nothing wrong.They suggested a factory reset, since for any further diagnostics I would need to send the phone in of find a Verizon Company store, so I agreed and did the reset

While this seemed on to fix the buggines issue a new one arrised in that it no-communicat-o with Apple-o's
Nothing I could do was able to rectify the problem.

Figuring this to be a carrier issue I contacted Verizon and they made some changes on their end they also said I had an "outdated" SIM card. [I got this SIM card in 2018 after loosing my company cell phone and I have kept it throughout my time with Verizon during which I have gone thru probably five phones, all Motorola. Some were to upgrade my model and some were replaced under warranty]. I went that night right after work to the local Verizon store, (a non company one) and got a new SIM but my problem remains.

So in desperation a did another reset but unfortunately it did not fix it either. I will also say that I get almost no calls anymore, even from Android users, kinda like everyone fell off the face of the earth.....

I used to have an IT guy live below me, and he is also rather well versed in phone technology, and thru the various "issues" that I have had, I/we know how to cover most of the bases and learned how to fix most issues, but he is baffled on this.

I desperately need to get this fixed, and dont want to throw money at getting a new phone only to still have the same issue, my gut says its gotta be a software issue or setting issue but i'll be damned what it is. Its becoming an issue with my job since I cant talk to management, they use Apples and even some non apple users, like
my mother, for example, is 82, and has a hard enough time with technology says my phone number just wont work, she gets nothing..

The only thing I did not yet do is to try resetting the APN. I have the Preferred Network Type as Global, same as it has always been, in fact no setting is different from the past in terms of how I have the phone set up and I have been thru the settings many times over to see what I missed. I may still have overlooked something, but I needed to go to the experts, thus my thread here.....

Moto G Power 2020 ver

No difference on WiFi or using if using LTE on roaming
