Help A few questions

My last phone was a Galaxy S8, got the S20 Ultra a few days ago and many things have changed since then I was wondering if anyone could help me figure these out.


1) How do I get Bixby (?) to keep quiet when I do a... "Macro" or custom command.

I've made one where I say "Good night" and a few things happen and it basically goes "Ok. Do Not Disturb Is On". "Ok. Alarm Is On". "Ok xyz is of" "Ok ABC is Off"....

... How do I make it so it just turns on DND, Alarm and turns off XYZ and ABC?

2) This "Samsung Dex" is new, I like it. Is there a way for my phone to basically stop asking me to connect? Like a "Remember my choice" ?

3) What's the biggest Micro-SD card I can put in there?

That's it for now. these are the ones that currently have me stumped.

Thanks in advance.

Apps Image is not changed when upload new image

In Android Studio, I can get to change an image in Firebase Storage.
But When I run app again, the old image still in cache and is loaded on ImageView, even I link new image with Firebase directly.

Is there someone with this same problem which could help me?

P.S.: I can save the image in Firebase Storage.

My code is:
Java:
public static void changePhoto(final Context context, String pUserId, Intent pData){
        Uri urlPhoto =  pData.getData();
        StorageReference mStorage;
        Bundle extras = pData.getExtras();
        Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

        bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.WEBP, 100, bos);
        String imageEncoded = Base64.encodeToString(bos.toByteArray(), Base64.DEFAULT);
        mStorage = FirebaseStorage.
                getInstance().
                getReference(pUserId + "/" + pUserId + ".webp");
    

        mStorage.putBytes(bos.toByteArray()).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {

                Toast.makeText(context, "Ok. Photo uploaded with success.",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                Toast.makeText(context, "!!! Error !!!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }

Why can't I store files locally?

I have a few docs and spreadsheets that I want to keep available on my phone (Galaxy Note 9, Android 10), but every time that I edit a file, it gets stored on Google Drive even though I tell it to store the file on my device. Then when I need to use the file, I get a message that it is not available offline and I need to make it available offline. I don't have that many files and because I don't want the hassle of logging into Google Drive to retrieve a file, I want to store all of my files locally. How can I get around this problem?

Help Uploading an intranet based application to Play Store

I am currently working on a intranet based application wherein the servers would not be deployed to cloud environment.

I have few queries surrounding that:


1. Does Google allow intranet based application to be deployed to Play store?

2. If Yes, since my servers are to be installed locally(only on windows) how do i provide the server access so that Google can do the testing as per the play store upload process?


**I know intranet based app should not be sent into production, but this requirement is very specific. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Belt holsters available ?

Hello,

I just received my Z Flip and after many years with Apple, I felt it is worth trying it out.

However, I am using belt clip holsters for all my previous iPhones and I would need a belt holster for the Z Flip - whether it comes with a clip or a loop.

The products out there are very limited as of now but that will hopefully change soon.

The holster that I found has everything that I want - except the clip or loop.

https://www.amazon.com/WWW-Crocodil...YN822Y0CC8D&psc=1&refRID=9QHT5VFW6YN822Y0CC8D

Does anyone know a supplier/brand for what I am looking for ?

The option would be to order the one from Amazon but then I have to find a clip/belt loop and a way to attach it.

Thank you very much for your replies.

Greetings, Jurgen

Apps "Cannot resolve symbol 'array' " in R.array.array_name

Trying to populate a dropdown box via a Spinner. I have a <string-array name="currencies_array"> defined and populated in strings.xml. The array in R.array.currencies_array is highlighted red saying "cannot resolve symbol 'array' ". Exact code from android documentation itself and stackoverflow articles.

Android doc for spinner under "populate the spinner with user choices: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/spinner#java
StackOverflow article (based on reply by Gurinder Singh, 3rd down): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13377361/how-to-create-a-drop-down-list

Code:
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.currencies_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
dropdown.setAdapter(adapter);

Phone Visibility

Anyone notice when they pull down their notification that Phone visibility is semi-lit, similar to how you initially turn on Wi-Fi before it turns full on blue. However it turns off a second after the pull down?

I have phone visibility OFF and have no apps that use it.

TOTAL GOV FAILURE-THE COVID 19 EDITION!!!

Anybody pissed yet? I am. this whole thing that everyone is dealing with could have been prevented or at least be in more in control of it...at least here in the US. we could have at least controlled the spread and thus reducing the fear that the public has.

there is so many things that went wrong here in the US.
1. we could have had tests back in Jan. the WHO offered the US test kits. we can still get tests from them. but are we?????? NO!!!!!
2. we should be building triage centers to help alleviate emergency rooms and hospitals when this really blows up. but are we doing it?? NO!!!!!
3. why did trump cut departments in the WH that was dedicated to situations like this?
4. why was there no message or concern about the virus and being prepared for it? we thought it would never reach the US shores.......THEY WERE WRONG!!!!!!!!
5. two weeks ago, the president was nonchalant about the virus. did he regret this?? NO!!!!! he takes no responsibility for what is going on now. In fact he blames Obama (his defacto go to scapegoat)!!!!!
6. his new travel ban is also now causing chaos in airports. we are supposed to reduce being in large crowds. but because there is lack of communication and coordination we have a cluster f@ck happening at our airports!!!


testing is the key. and we are so far behind other countries on testing. what is happening here is pathetic!!!!!!!

so i know this is a hot topic, but i want to have adult conversation here. lets be civilized as much as we can. but i want to know if others here are as pissed as i am? or are you happy with how we are treating the current crisis? thoughts????

4 android gurus ,Android data timer

So I don't know how many of ya'll use Metro PCS. I do since 2003. I have been paying unlimited data for the longest time, I never had issues with slow data , but since TMobile took over I get these "over the 35gig data" text messages.
And I loose internet like no data transfer for short periods of times and gaming just lags , takes for ever to download anything ,but the first 35 gigs are quick.
So I'm wondering , to all the android gurus , " Is there a way , to shut off the data meter or timer what ever it is. So that the service provider won't know how much data I'm using ?
Like is there a hack or some type of mod I can do to the phone and tablet ?

I use anywhere from 70 to 80 gigs a month.
