Hi,

I'm developing an application that launches a 3rd party activity via intent. This works good and well. But....I need to programmatically click on the 3rd party activity. The intent (no pun intended) is to automate the third-party activity when certain signal conditions has been met.

I have played around with transparent overlays, and clicking with 'input tap x y' commands- but the tapping does not 'filter' through to the app 'below' the overlay.

Requirement: This needs to happen from the phone itself - it may not be connected to a computer where adb shell can be used.

Can anybody point me in the correct direction?

Today I started getting calls from my voice mail. At least the phone says that. They claim to be from Microsoft and my IP address has be compromised in several countries. That I need to punch 1 to be connected to a tech. Its not like I can block my own voice mail number to block these calls. And there is no way am I going to punch 1 at all. What can I do about these calls? Thanks.

I tried enabling notification dots everywhere I googled about but they aren't working.

Moto G7, Android 9.

Is this normal (I'm a smartphone noob).

If I call on another phone and leave a message (after hitting the decline button) the notification dot never appears...but if I click to open the default Google Phone app it does show a voicemail notification count.

Ditto if the phone is off when the voicemail is sent (usually; one time out of ten tries so far there was a dot after starting the phone if I left a test voicemail while it was off). When the phone is on (and call declined and test voicemail left) sometimes (though mostly not) I hear a notification sound (but I'm just starting to learn to use the phone so sorry I have no idea whether the notification sound was about the new voicemail).

On the Moto forum I saw someone eventually give up and try the Notifier app; is that what I must do too if I want notification dots (and, hopefully, counters in the dots) to work, please?

I see that my Gmail icon does have a notification dot (without a counter), so perhaps if I start testing it I'd find Gmail notification is working (but just counter-lessly).

My Samsung S9+ was bought direct from Samsung and is around a year old. I have a Samsung branded flip cover bought about 9 months ago from a retailer. A couple of months ago the cover would not automatically lock the screen when the cover was closed. Samsung via live chat say this is a fault created when the last software version 9 was updated. They say the cover I have only works with version 8 so is no longer compatible and the issue lies with the retailer (how they know what version of cover I have I don’t know). Okay so the retailer may change it as it’s under guarantee but what happens when Samsung update to version 10 etc. At £65 a time for a cover that last 7 months this surely isn’t right. If Samsung are correct then consumers should be aware of this. Has anyone else experienced this issue.

Greetings to all!
Thank you in advance for your input. I have had a large phone, "Phablet" for about 8 years now. First was the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, which I liked a lot, after a few years, (about 4 years ago) I purchased a Motorola Nexus 6, which I loved. I am not rich, by any means, and both of those phones were purchased new, from Amazon, about a year after the initial release. They were both under $300, each approximately $280. I feel in both cases, when the phones were purchased, they were great deals.

I am at the point where I want/need a new phone. I have been researching everywhere, and keep coming back to this specific phone, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. It seems like it has at least the same features as my previous phones, with the obvious modernization of a new phone. The only feature it doesn't have, (or seem to have over the Nexus 6) is wireless charging.

Considering I live in the USA, and this is a global version, (all reviews seem to point to it working well) should I purchase this phone? Its around $220. A bit below my price point of approximately $280.

If you recommend it, please let me know, if not could you recommend other options in the price range I have mentioned.

Thanks a lot. FM

Is there a weather widget that anyone knows about that just displays the weather conditions like if it is cloudy it shows a cloud it sunny it does a sun etc?

Here's another excellent idea that will keep people's information like contact's, accounts etc. in the their phone's more safe.

Have an option to turn off the pattern password (seeing as if your screen breaks and you can't use the pattern..you have the fingerprint sensor) and make it fingerprint only.
Seeing as it automatically requires you at the beginning to have a pattern, give us the option to turn it off after.
All these drones in the sky makes that feature useless if some one can just fly by your house and see what your pattern, pin whatever password is. It'll make it to where those losing their phone's, stolen or whatever, don't have to worry about their information being given out to some one listening to them and would have to factory reset the phone if the phone was their only objective.

End result, fingerprint password only.

Warm up your fingers and get ready to show your reaction in the new casual arcade ▪/▪ LineTurn!

You need to collect all the bricks, driving a rotating line and at the same time avoid the borders of the playing field. However, be careful - with each brick assembled, the line is extended!

Looks pretty simple, right? You’ll be surprised how hard it is! Enjoy!

How to play:

Hello, I have an Android 6 phone (marshmallow) and I experienced a weird bug. I created a folder with 2 apps inside, pretty normal stuff. But some time ago I removed one of them because I didn't use it. It was then that I realised that the folder was broken because the other app inside didn't 'pop out' like it should. It stayed in the folder (which I couldn't open) so I had to go in google play, write the name and then open the app.
I tried deleting the app and then this happened:

So I have a broken folder on my 'android desktop' can anyone help please
(Yes, other folders work normally. Only this one is affected)
(Yes, I tried rebooting multiple times)

I am stuck.

My phone has been acting crazy for a while now and I have had my bank account fraudulent used as well as my credit card. Been locked out of all my accounts and so much more. I've just now had the time to Google 2g spectrum wifi.... Ok .. so my phone prompts me for open wifi regularly even though I have set it not to. I can't disable the 2g3g settings so my guess is that my roommate is taking advantage of the free 30 minutes of wifi use that spectrum offers many many times and somehow connecting my phone to it??? Many times a day I happen to catch that my wifi and Bluetooth are on when I've not turned them on and their not supposed to be scanning for them. Any thoughts

Hi! I have a Huawei honor 5x in good quality it is about 4.5 years in use and barely scratched. I have installed many apps(<150) (all from play store) in its lifetime and some got me a few popups in the main screen lately. (uninstalled previously before pop-ups appeared) and I was able to find the app and uninstall it and the popups stopped.there is a small chance that someone that I know might have intentionally installed a virus.
the symptoms are random restarts throughout the day and after restart battery drops to 2% and goes to 0% (shutdown) in 30 seconds. battery life has gone down by almost around 60%(100% to 0% without restarts around 2.5 hours with little use) and phone by itself has turned extremely slow. (no duplicate files or anything suspicious)(no suspicious apps)
I have not tried to factory reset it yet but I think it might be a trojan virus in the firmware of the device.


any help appreciated.
thanks.

I'm trying to get a simple map working, with a search bar to look up a location. It is mostly working, but whenever I open the search bar, it closes on its own after a couple seconds, or immediately when I input anything.

I have searched all over - found several answers on SO addressing this, and I've tried applying all of the solutions offered. So far, I have had no luck.

At one point I got an error message (bad API key, fixed it) referencing Google Maps Android API v2 - but I don't see that anywhere in the API browser in my developer console. I have "Maps SDK for Android", "Directions API', and "Places API" enabled.

From what I've been reading, I think it's related to the API but I don't know what to try next. Any suggestions?

I have
in the <application> section of the manifest, and
in build.gradle

If I learn Android programming then can I able to take any Android subscription based app and unlock all it's paid features by myself by tempering the code, is it possible?

Why not have a sensor on the bottom right screen for unlocking the phone as well? It will make it to where if some one breaks their screen, or if the sensor in the back gets damaged, they can still unlock the phone from the front. It works all around for damages done to phone's just in case people still need to get in and find information, unbind google accounts, transfer information to a new device, etc. I believe it to be a pretty good idea if it's placed near the bottom right of the screwn or even near the top right seeing as there is space for one there as well.

Hi to everybody, I have a quite special question today : any of you guys knows how to modify an android app to replace the cam source (= realtime transmission from the phone cam) by a static picture, from gallery, or file explorer by example. And I want to do that even if the photo has normally to be taken directly inside of the app...
I want this app to be modified : N26 bank app. Because we have to verify identity with in-app picture to open an account for a friend, who is in this moment abroad, and he can't do it by himself, because there's no N26 app in his country (= not in play store, and not working when trying to install it from apk...etc.), so I have to photography his identity proofs, and cannot import their picture from gallery for example.
I think I could modify the N26 apk, once I've decompiled it, in Android Studio, or anything like this... but I really don't know how to do this, because I don't code at all. So any of you there could help, teach me how to replace N26 in-app cam to capture our documents by a simple "Complete action using..." interface or something like that..?
Thanks a lot !
Bye

Andoid Ver 8.1.0

Problem: I have two apps called Contacts with almost identical icons (blue person outline). One is Google LLC v.3.5.7.24363481 which I believe is legit. The other one has version 1.7.21, it takes 5.01MB and can not be removed. What is it? I have disabled all permissions of the later application and all works fine, but I am concerned.

The "old" S5 is stuck at 73% and I don't know why. I checked all the connections and put it in airplane mode until just recently. I did swap out batteries and it's connectef to a power strip (not surge suppressor) but that wasn't a problem until maybe now.

Sorry if this has been covered already but , again, I'm NO HACKER or COMPUTER GENIUS lol.

I found the EASIEST way to make it to where your Google Assistant voice command turns on when you click the ANNOYING BIXBY BUTTON lol.

Let me know if you're interested in this? Lol

(Am I allowed to post. Video here?)

My friend's phone isn't charging. I can get it to boot (maybe) but it says the power is too low to come on (0%). It was plugged in for quite a while. Now I've managed to get the case off it but I still don't know how to open the phone itself.
