advantage or disadvantage of moving to VZ

I have my pixel2 with FI since it came out. This phone has lot of good stuff that no other phone has, but also some stupid glitches which takes Google for ever to fix, like " mixing up beep and greeting" (fixed for now) or "VM not loading" or "after dialing the call doesn't connect". I'm out of big red for 2 years now and thinking of if joining them these problems won't happen. How about the bloatware they load on the phone? would I have it on my phone when joining them?
thanks

The code does not work in the Thread by pressing a button

I'm studying android and stumbled upon a problem! After reading this article in the section Worker Threads: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html
My code
Java:
public void click(View view) {
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                final TextView t = findViewById(R.id.textView);
                t.setText("Wait...");
                for(int i=0;i<999999;i++)
                    Log.e("test", ""+System.currentTimeMillis());
                t.post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        t.setText("Complete");
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    }
Now when I press a button, nothing happens even the text does not change and there are no mistakes. I don’t know what to do, help somebody!

Music player apps not reading SD card

Hi, I have a Nokia 3.1 running Android 9. I have a problem which seemed to start after a recent update...
I have a 128gb SD card with about 45gb of music on it.
Most music player apps don't seem able to read the card properly (the only ones that can read it have really bad user interfaces and limited functions)
Some music player apps can read a few tracks (91 seems to be a common number, I don't know why), others cannot read any.
I know that the card is readble, because the file explorer app can read it and display all the files.
Can anyone help me with this please?
Thanks!

Queries about deep linking

I have the host and prefix name to open an activity from the link. My questions
  1. If the app is not installed can the link be redirected to play store and when we click open in Play Store after downloading can it open the same activity and fetch the link?
  2. What is the difference between using Deep Links given in Android Developers official website and Firebase Dynamic Links?
  3. Is the same concept available for iOS as the link is common for Android and iOS?

Help AndroidTV Access Point

Hello,

I got a AndroidTV connected via Lan and i want a Access Point but the router should set the IP from the connected devices because i want to extend the WLan (same SSID & PW). I search for hours now without any result because it isn't normal that a android device got a Lan port ;)
If i just enable the WLan Hotspot then the internet for the connected devices works fine but they are in a different IP Range. That means that i can't see the connected devices from the routers point of view.

Because the terms are really confusing (at least for me) i have made picture (attachment).
The IP from the "Smartphone 1" need to stay the same after the handover (reserved ip on the gateway/router).
I know cheap Access Points can do this but i want use the hardware that i already got.
Is there any App or setting for this?
(AndroidTV box got root access)

thanks,
Best Regards

derbmann

App short name

I want to change the name that appears on an Android device along with the app's launcher icon, but without changing the app name (app_name in strings.xml). Can it be done? I found a thread on SO which was so contradictory as to be useless. For example, I have an app called Conveyancing Quoter, but I want to use just Quoter below the launcher icon but still have Conveyancing Quoter in the title bar.

Is it android:label="@String/app_name" in AndroidManifest.xml that I want to change? I don't want to try it and get in a beggars muddle.

How many home screens do you have?

How many home screens/desktops do you have?

Right now, on this phone, I have 7; I did have it set at 11, but found that unwieldy.

How do you use your desktops? I like my screens completely devoid of ANYTHING; I prefer to look at my live wallpaper, the beautiful and interactive aniPet Koi.

But there are certain things I want quickly accessible, so I have a widget on one screen, app shortcuts on another, but mostly nothing.

So, how do you set yours up?

By the way, we've had multiple desktops in the UNIX/Linux world for five decades. Last I heard, window$ still hadn't copied this feature.

Apps A “clean” MainActivity pattern after the date has been changed

Hi, suppose that after activating the application, the date of 12.07.2019 will be displayed in the upper 'Current Date' header. After the introduction of the products for breakfast, I would like to change the date on 13/07/2019 by pressing imageButtonUp so that the same activity appears but without the entered data, so that I can introduce new products from 13.07.2019. After introducing the products on 13.07.2019, and then pressing the imageButtonDown button, I would like to return to the previous date, where the products I have introduced with the date 12.07.2019 are displayed. How could I achieve this effect? Do I need to connect ImageButtonDown and Up with MainActivity somehow? Or maybe I need to add some new activities? Because now if I introduce products and then press the button, the date changes but the products stay the same. Thank you in advance for each clue, because I have no idea how I could do this task for my project.

For a better illustration of the situation, I present my main_activity.xml:


I does not have ready code for this situation with adding products to meals, but ... I wanted to test this situation on a more trivial example, where the analogical mechanism takes place, and then move the solution to the project with the addition of products. Here is an example on which I tested the solution:

1. So this is my main_activity.xml:



2. This is my MainActivity.java:

Java:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    TextView textView, textView2, textView3;
    ImageButton imageButtonDown, imageButtonUp;
    Calendar calendar;
    String formattedDate;
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat;
    Button button;
    private static final int REQUEST_CODE = 1;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);



        textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
        textView2 = findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        textView3 = findViewById(R.id.textView3);
        imageButtonDown = findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
        imageButtonUp = findViewById(R.id.imageButton2);
        button = findViewById(R.id.button2);

         calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

         dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
         formattedDate = dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime());

         textView.setText(formattedDate);


        imageButtonDown.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
                formattedDate = dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime());
                textView.setText(formattedDate);
            }
        });

        imageButtonUp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, +1);
                formattedDate = dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime());
                textView.setText(formattedDate);
            }
        });

        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
                startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_CODE);
            }
        });

    }

    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent i) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == REQUEST_CODE) {

            Information information = new Information(i.getStringExtra("day"), i.getIntExtra("deegres", 0));

            textView2.setText(information.getDay());
            textView3.setText(String.valueOf(information.getDegrees_Celsius()));
        }
    }

}

3. This is my second_activity.xml:



4. This is my SecondActivity.java:

Java:
public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    EditText editText1, editText2;
    Button button;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);

        editText1 = findViewById(R.id.editText);
        editText2 = findViewById(R.id.editText2);
        button = findViewById(R.id.button);

        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                sendInformation();
            }
        });

    }

    public void sendInformation() {

        String day = editText1.getText().toString();
        int deegres = Integer.parseInt(editText2.getText().toString());

        Intent i = new Intent();
        i.putExtra("day", day);
        i.putExtra("deegres", deegres);

        setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
        finish();
    }
}

5. Additional class Information:

Java:
public class Information {

    private String Day;
    private int degrees_Celsius;


    String getDay() {

        return Day;
    }

    Information(String Day, int degrees_Celsius) {

        this.Day = Day;
        this.degrees_Celsius = degrees_Celsius;
    }

    int getDegrees_Celsius() {

        return degrees_Celsius;
    }
}

In this analogous example, after activating the application, the date of 12.07.2019 will be displayed in the upper header. After pressing Go to SecondActivity, I want to go to the second activity, enter information about the day and degrees Celsius, and then press the button Send information, which will help me return to MainActivity. The information will be displayed in textViews. Then, after pressing the imageButtonUp button, I would like to change the date on 13.07.2019 and receive the same activity, but with the cleared information in order to enter new data from the next day. Finally, after pressing imageButtonDown, I want to return to the earlier date 12/07/2019, but I would like to see the information that was introduced on that day.

Thank you in advance for every clue, because I'm stuck in place ..

Aliens and Facebook

Okay so by now most of you have heard, seen or read about some huge plan to over run the top secret military base known as area 51 in September of this year.
Perhaps you yourself have signed up for this stunt.
For the record there are two roads that lead into area 51. However both roads end at the boundaries of area 51 with the actual facilities of area 51 still being several miles away.
You can attempt to approach through the surrounding mountains and foot hills but your talking about an extremely long walk and I do mean extremely long.
Okay so let's say by some pure stroke of genius you actually managed to get past the motion detectors , the roaming patrols of heavily arm private security officers who do like it or not have the legal authorization to shoot you dead and actually managed to get on to the actual facilities site of area 51.
What are you going to see before your either shot or arrested?:mustachedroid:
Your going to see lots of people , vehicles helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. You will see people testing engines and perhaps a new military jet which will look like most other jets use by our military.
So what about the Aliens and UFO's . While I can not say whether or not either of those are at area 51, the chances of you seeing them are well zero:thumbsdowndroid::saddroid:
The majority of the daily activity at area 51 takes place inside windowless buildings or deep underground.
These require you have to have keys, the right ID, finger print, retina scan, and even if you again by some stroke of unbelievably pure luck got your hands a set of keys, ID badge or several as you would need different IDs for different areas
To enter certain area your going to need an escort and this will be provided by an arm security officer. Before entering desire location, a another security personnel or member of the military or civilian will take your ID or IDs and verify they are legit.
They will verify your employment status and security level
Which is done the old fashion way by checking an actual paper file.
Then after all that they are going to check to see if you are scheduled to be there.
At which point your unbelievable luck will run out.
What will follow next is undescribable night mare for you, your family, your friends, everyone you know as every single two bit government agency of the United States takes a sudden interested in your life;)
Which will never be the same.
So be smart if you do come to Nevada in September, hit the casino's, catch a show, get drunk and wasted on a Friday and wake up Sunday afternoon finding out you married the world's ugliest hooker or gigalo

Random Unknown Notification

This is the second time I'm asking on a forum and trying to reword it.

My phone has been doing this for over a year now (it started completely randomly after I had my phone for a few months): completely randomly(sometimes 4 or 5 times a day, sometimes only once) making an old facebook notification sound with no notification bar. If my phone is on silent, it doesn't make the sound but vibrates(nothing is supposed to vibrate when my phone is on silent).

I have completely looked through all of my notifications, apps, and settings. I tried uninstalling facebook and messenger(I barely use them anyway), and I don't have a device maintenance app, although I did download one just to check if I had some sort of virus(it said I didn't) and then uninstalled it.
The only apps I have downloaded are apps like Youtube, Google, Memrise, Instagram and other trustworthy apps with millions of downloads.

I also downloaded a notification history app. It showed all of my notifications except this odd thing I was hearing.

The problem with it is: it is annoying and creepy, and, like I said, it still vibrates when my phone is on silent.

My question is: Do you have any idea what it could be or do you have any similar experience?

PLEASE help me. I just want it to STOP.
