Help [SOLVED] How to add icon/shortcut for embedded app?

When accessing a file, I was prompted for which app to use to open it. In the list was SE Text Editor. Hmmm, I said to myself, I don't have an app by that name; a quick glance at my installed apps confirmed this.

I eventually figured out that that text editor--which I like--is a part of Solid Explorer. Further detective work yielded numerous hidden components, both in SE and other apps.

I want to put icons/app shortcuts for some of these hidden components in my app drawer or on a desktop. But how?

On Linux proper, I could do this in my sleep, standing on my head. :o But how's it done on Android? :thinking:

Adapter for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

Hi everyone, I just Pre-ordered my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. T-Mobile. Looking forward to getting it! I have a question, since the phone does not come with a headphone jack (I'm disappointed), can anyone recommend an adapter where I can charge my phone and listen the music at the same time? Like a
USB C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter, 2 in 1 Audio Adapter and Fast Charging Dongle Compatible for the the Note 10+ . Can anyone help please? Thank you.

Galixy s9 whacky!

Hello, Need some help here on my wife's phone. We both have identical phones purchased through sprint at the same time. She is currently is experiencing several problems. They may be related. First her home screen is showing what appears to be two screens at once..not icons as display over, but the whole screens. This includes the top info headers. One seems to be offset from the other slightly witch creates a sorta shading or double vision effect. None of the icons (including the app.launcher) of which there are two showing are active..they don't respond to touch.
Second, when I try to connect her phone to our Roku so as to view youtube videos on our TV, it connects, but only audio is present.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Help iTunes Equivalent for Android Devices?

Hi,

I've scoured sites before, asked on a few forums, and have tried a few programs, but I have yet to discover an iTunes-like alternative, for Android devices.

Right now, I'm having to manually identify & copy tracks across myself, which as you can imagine, is frustratingly tedious!

Basically what I need is;

1) Something that will automatically sync new music to my phone, when I connect it to my PC.
(doesn't need to do it the instant it's plugged in, but at least has a "sync" button I can press, to automatically identify & copy across new music)

2) The ability to select what music is synced to the phone.
(i.e. - rather than copying every audio file on your PC, it allows you to select 1/multiple specific folders to sync. Or, it allows you sync only specific artists, like iTunes does)

Please let me know if there's any program out there that can do this.

Thanks

Do you know about this app?

I found a guy recently who is using an app which is like a personal blog, he posts some content and everyone who has installed this app can view the content.
There are options like 'Who am i', 'Messages' included within the app.

The name of the app is Private Blog, with a yellow money bag icon. The icon changes in the notification bar to a blue thunder symbol. This isn't available on the play store either. Tried Google, haven't found a single clue.

How did i find this in the first place? It was through a sponsored Instagram, swiping up on the story downloaded the app and i installed it to see what it was.

What i wanna know is if this app is custom made or available for public use. Like it has a dashboard where you post stuff from and receive messages too.
Or it is a simple blog which was made into an app using web view

Startup error

Hello. I decided to write a small android application. Created an HTML file, and two folders with resources to it. It works well. I tried to create an apk file based on it using android studio. And when I run this apk on my phone, I see "Error: no valid storage adapters found". What could I do wrong? I know that there is little information, if something is needed - say, I will add. Help me please.

Privacy Android

Hi, I'm a girl obsessed with privacy, I have an s10 + but without a gmail account, I navigate with TOR, orbot, I don't have social networks, but I don't really like it, since many applications have many permissions that I don't like, I would like Know if there is a way to install a more secure modified Android operating system, or if there is some type of application to configure privacy. I also have a Huawei p9lite that I can not do the bootloader to root, is there any way to get it? because if I could root the p9 maybe there I could play better with privacy. Thank you

SD Card Problem

Hi,

Intro - MythuSiva

Hey everyone!

I'm a senior backend developer with over 10 years of experience.
Although I've played with mobile app development, I often found myself enjoying the backend more.

So why am I here?
If I love the backend, then I'm sure some of you might hate it!
I'm thinking maybe I can offer some of my experience to help you build apps easier.
I can do that by answering questions, building APIs for you, ...

Hope to see chat in the threads, cheers!

Phone case

Afternoon all,

I am having to use my old elephone p8 mini until my upgrade. Does anyone know where I can get a decent case from? Want one of those magnetic 360 cover ones but can't find one for this model

Failing that anybody know if another make/ model has same shape/ size so can get one of those cases?

Regards James

Tagging as a service; would that be useful to you as a developer?

Hey everyone, I'm a backend developer and I have a few API services that I'm looking to make public.

I'm here to test the market for a specific API that manages tags.

What you can use this for:
- managing tags such as adding a tag, editing a tag, removing a tag
- searching tags
- storing millions of tags

Applications:
- hashtagging is the most common
- tagging things internally for faster searching
- tagging things for storage

Benefits:
- performance, performance, performance
- scaling is all done on my side
- looking to make this free but also paid for really high traffic users

Its a generic and flexible solution. I'm sure there are other creative uses for it.

Looking to answer the following questions:
- what are your thoughts?
- would you use something like this?
- is there another backend service that you often have trouble finding?

Thanks in advance!

How do I access adoptable storage?

I am setting up my next phone. It is a CAT S61. It runs android 8.1

I have installed a 256GB SD card, formatted as internal storage. It appears to have worked correctly. How do I access that storage? I cannot find it on the phone using any file managers I have tested, nor is it accessible via USB when connected to the computer.

My intent is to load my library of files and documents on it. I would like it to be secured storage in the event the phone is lost. It is my understanding adoptable storage will do that, however, I have been unable to access that storage.

Thanks for your help.

I have some questions about a android tv box

I recently got a new TV box and I'm having some issues with it, the mouse doesn't hit the right places, some apps works fine while others had to have the pointer on the edge of the screen to hit a button near the edge, i know it has to do with screen scaling, if i put it on a big TV I have to zoom out as far as possible then the pointer gets further away from where it's supposed to hit, also it says it takes a micro sd card but it doesn't fit, this is the 2nd box I've had, where the SD card doesn't fit, what im hoping for is a app that will help me make my box run more smoothly, my older box I had didn't have any pointer issues, and was able to be used on any size tv my current tv box is a a95x f1

‘Disable Absolute Volume’ missing under ‘Developer options’ on Sanyo Android (Oreo) TV

I have a Sanyo XT-43A081U LED TV running Android Oreo OS. I have a set of AirPods that I paired with the TV’s Bluetooth without any problems. But the volume is very low, almost mute despite of increasing the volume level to 90/100. After searching around, I found a common solution to turn on ‘Disable absolute volume’ under the ‘Developer options’ menu of settings. Although I have enabled the Developer options, for the life of me, I just cannot find the ‘Disable absolute volume’ option under it. So can anyone please help me unhide/enable this option for me so that I can fix the low volume on my AirPods connected via Bluetooth to this TV? Please note that the AirPods work just fine with my iPhone 6S with no problems with the decibel levels. Thanks in advance.
