I have been trying to get user location in a weather app I am building. Since I'm pretty new to android development this is quite tough and so I have tried finding sources on how to make this, though after trying many different things it always ends up being a way too outdated version that no longer works.
So my question is what is currently the best way the get a user's location.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me with this!
It's enough to start reading from official doc: https://developer.android.com/training/location
or from here ready solution https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-get-current-location-in-android/

Im planning to develop an android app which allows the user to add different items to a List. My goal is to display every new added item immediately to an User with the Same app on a different device.
Im looking for a good approach without using any server to store the data. Now i know there are syncadaper but im not quite sure how to apply this concept to my use case. Basically a solution similar to a chat peogram is what a have in mind.
I already did my research but couldnt find a good fitting answer.
So i would appreciate any Suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Hi I am designing an Android App using Android Studio for my class and one of the requirement is that the app should link two users together as "partners" so that they can receive notifications or messages from each other. I already have google sign in available but I don't know how to link two users together. Can someone point me in the right direction to get started? Thank you.
You're looking to create an app that can connect users wirelessly and then do whatever tasks you wish to do. Now I'm not going to give you the code or anything like that, but I'm going to point you in the right direction as you asked.
The Android Developers site is a good place to start: Building Apps with Connectivity
The first two categories are closely related to your type of question, and will give you the stepping stone you need to start developing an app that fits your purpose.
Anytime you have an actual issue with coding it, StackOverflow will have countless solutions I'm sure.
My question is pretty simple. I have created several apps that tell me what sensors I have and also to display the data, Accelerometer, GPS, etc... One thing I am trying to do is to create an app that will display what apps my phone currently has on it. I looked around online but have not come up with any way to do this. Is this a permission issue? anyway to do this? Thanks for your help.
I implemented a sample application a while ago that displays a list of currently installed applications. It uses getInstalledApplications() as Commonsware suggests. You can find a link to the application's source code in this blog post.
anyway to do this?
Use PackageManager, and methods like getInstalledApplications().
i need to distinguish between desktop vs mobile vs tablet and need to know if it's reliable.i am looking at two libraries UADetector and UAAgentInfo.java.Has anyone have any experience with same?
Also realized that in order to use UADetector i will need to get atleast 6 jar files in my codebase.
I am not sure if this is correct place to ask this question. if not please direct me to correct forum.
TIA
There is this library wurfl that can help you out. It has a large database of devices. I'm not really sure about the licensing since it changed.
See http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/
So I was looking at the settings in CM10.1(4.2.2) and I saw an option to change the color of the softkeys using a color picker.
Now i'm working on an app and though doing something like that would be cool. But I don't understand how it does it. How does it change the color using code, and why doesn't it require a reboot?
Also, could I use a similar process to change the Colorado of the wi-fi inside my app as well? How would one do this. I am interested in how you can do this, as it would make a great addition to my app.
I saw I wasn't the only one wondering this, and I think this is a good question. If someone could, can you maybe explain what could be going on, and then explain how I could do it, and maybe give me a link to some code to take a look at?
Anything would help. I'm curious, but baffled. I think an answer could help not just me, but many others. Thanks!
Short answer: You can't using the public SDK.
Long answer: This is not a feature of stock AOSP. Cyanogenmod is a heavily modified version of Android, and features like this are implemented at a ROM level, not an app level. If you want to include this feature, you'll have to customize Android at a source level and build a system image for each and every device you want it on.
