Automatic acknowledge

Hi,
Here is my typical request. I provide on-call technical support during non-business hours in my organization. We have pager duty configured which gives a automated call to my mobile number whenever there is a critical alert triggered in the monitoring tool. I have to receive the call, press 4 to acknowledge.

The problem is, we get flood of such calls. So, is there a way to automatically pick and press 4 to acknowledge the call without my intervention? any app which does this function?



Thanks,

Why Won't Google Maps Display A Map?

My Aspera Jazz won't display maps on Google maps when I click the google maps icon.

It goes to a google maps page and says it is downloading maps but gets halfway there and reckons I should check the internet connection.

It never, ever, completes the job.

But meanwhile if I use Firefox and go to google maps from there everything runs perfectly.

How do I deal with this, is there a way?

How To Know What Apps Are Running?

I am new to smartphones and don't understand them very well.

Mine is an Aspera Jazz and seems to run very slowly.

Coming from a pc I'm puzzled by not being able to close things when I've used them and I read somewhere that they remain running in the background.

Perhaps that's why it's slow.

But I can't find how to see what apps are running.

All I found is running services and they don't seem to amount to much. They are, right now:

Bluetooth share
Google Services
Google Services
Google Play Services
Google
Messages
Smartcard Service
Gmail
Youtube
Gboard

Should I/ Could I close down any of those?

What's the best way to deal with this whole apps thing?

Keyboard navigation using code

Let say for some reason I have gotten a code where the main activity will present a dialog to allow the user to confirm exit or just cancel, I would like to implement that the user can use the arrow key to move left and right or rotate back to the two buttons ( cancel or ok ), how do I do it in code ?
I found many solutions using the XML method where the view will have the android:nextFocusRight="@+id/button2". But how could this be done programmatically ?

Thank you very much.

multiple widget instance sending parameters to app

Hello,

I have one widget and one separated app


The widget can launch the application by passing parameters

typically I put 3 times the same widget on my home page with 3 different settings, for example A B and C

When I click on my first widget A, the application opens and receives the parameter A, good !!!
but now if I click on widget B, the application switches to foreground but does not receive parameter B


I think I know why, but I can not find a workaround:



----------------------------------------------------------
In my widget I have this code to apen the app :

Intent intentAppli = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intentAppli.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
intentAppli.putExtra("system_to_show", system);
intentAppli.setClassName("com.santeos.meteoSanteos", "com.santeos.meteoSanteos.MainActivity");
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intentAppli, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.id_projet, pendingIntent);


----------------------------------------------------------------
in my app I have in the onCreate
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if(extras == null) {
systemToShow= null;
} else {
systemToShow= extras.getString("system_to_show");
}

if(systemToShow!=null)
{
//TODO here get the string stored in the string variable and do
// setText() on userName

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,systemToShow, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
baseUrl=baseUrl+"&toshow="+systemToShow;
}


Here I understand that it will work only when creating the app.


But I have tryed to move this code in the onResume and I always have the first parameter use to launch the app first time, and never the second one or third....


It seems that the intent is never updated with the extra parameter



Thanks for any help !!!
Best regards,
Laurent

Help Pictures grayed out in gallery and Google photos

Hi all,

as I was scrolling through my pictures this morning I noticed that almost 2 weeks of pictures have been grayed out in the gallery of my Samsung Galaxy S8 plus. I checked Google Photos, thinking that they would still show up there, but the same happened. The weird thing is that before and after those 2 weeks all pictures appear normally. Can anyone help with this?

I have attached a screenshot of the grayed out pictures.

Thanks in advance!

Weird clip tray problem

Throughout the day random Chinese codes keep copying to my clip tray. I keep getting the "Copied to Clip Tray" notification every time it happens. It always copies something like this:

{"code":200,"data":{"bizTypeCode":"gz01","bizValue":"¥PRSCY4OCtKZ¥","bizTypeName":"淘口令"},"message":"处理成功","isSuccess":true}lw

Below is a picture of what my cliptray currently looks like (and there's way more then what's shown in the picture) I've noticed that it most often happens when I'm about to type something. So is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know how to solve it?

Help BAZZ Safe Driving hands free

This is my first post. BAZZ use to work on my Tracfone Galaxy J7 Skypro but has not been working for over two months. I have tried reinstalling but when I click Finish the app says "cannot find connection". All other apss work jut fine with our WiFI at home and the phone is paired with with my car's bluetooth feature. I do not like or use Android Auto.

I've searched the Internet from my computer (where I am now) to no avail. So I joined this forum to see if any other Tracfone users with a similar or exact same phone have an answer. I do know that Google Play removed it from the Play apps for some reason, however it's available through apkpure.com.

Thanks in advance for your help.
