Sorry for bad english.

I have done same thing before 3 months:
String appointmentColorCode = "Color_which_Is_Currently_Getting_From_Calendar";
int mColorCode = 0;
mColorCode = (0xff000000 + Integer.parseInt(appointmentColorCode));
You have to give Color_which_Is_Currently_Getting_From_Calendar as you are getting from calendar.
mColorCode will be your final Color code.'
Done

Account Name in Calendar Android getting gmail automatically

I found this article very useful http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider.html#query?
But here i found the ACCOUNT_NAME queried in the calendar is being written statically
I am stuck here Since my problem is ..what if i want user's gmail address through some query
i.e not statically specifying the address rather getting it through some code
PS: i am very newbie to android. Apologies if this ones a stupid question

App crash while getting data from database

First of all I'm sorry I don't speak very good english. I'm currently developing an android app with eclipse and I have problem while fetching data from database. This is the method to read data from database. I put this method in a class named SQLiteAdapter:
public Cursor getQuestionEachLevel(long levelId)
{
return sqLiteDatabase.query(MYDATABASE_TABLE, new String[]{KEY_ROWID, KEY_ANSWER,
KEY_QUESTION, KEY_HINT, KEY_FLAG, KEY_LEVEL}, KEY_LEVEL + "=" + levelId,
null, null, null, null, null);
}
And this is the code that going to call that method and fetch the data. I put this code in another class.
int x=0;
String getId[] = null;
String getAnswer[] = null;
String getQuestion[] = null;
String getHint[] = null;
String getFlag[]= null;
String getLevel[]= null;
mySQLiteAdapter = new SQLiteAdapter(this);
mySQLiteAdapter.openToRead();
Cursor c = mySQLiteAdapter.getQuestionEachLevel(getLevelKey);
if(c.moveToFirst()){
do{
getId[x] = c.getString(0);
getAnswer[x] = c.getString(1);
getQuestion[x] = c.getString(2);
getHint[x] = c.getString(3);
getFlag[x] = c.getString(4);
getLevel[x] = c.getString(5);
x++;
}while(c.moveToNext());
}
mySQLiteAdapter.close();
I want to put each of the data from the database column into specific Variable because I'm going to use it later. Eclipse doesn't show any error but when I try to run this app on my phone, the app crash while fetching the data. Anyone know what's wrong with this?

Post your logcat, by all means. But in the meantime
int x=0;
String getId[] = null;
String getAnswer[] = null;
String getQuestion[] = null;
String getHint[] = null;
String getFlag[]= null;
String getLevel[]= null;
and afterwards
do{
getId[x] = c.getString(0);
getAnswer[x] = c.getString(1);
getQuestion[x] = c.getString(2);
getHint[x] = c.getString(3);
getFlag[x] = c.getString(4);
getLevel[x] = c.getString(5);
x++;
}while(c.moveToNext());
is always pretty problematic... (your arrays aren't initialized and you're attempting to access them. I'd advise this change:
int x=0;
List<String> getId = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String> getAnswer = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String>getQuestion = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String> getHint = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String>getFlag= new ArrayList<String>();
List<String>getLevel = new ArrayList<String>();
and afterwards
do{
getId.add( c.getString(0));
getAnswer.add( c.getString(1));
getQuestion.add(c.getString(2));
getHint.add(c.getString(3));
getFlag.add(c.getString(4));
getLevel.add(c.getString(5));
x++;
}while(c.moveToNext());

You must initialize all the arrays before using it.
int x=0;
String getId[] = null;
String getAnswer[] = null;
String getQuestion[] = null;
String getHint[] = null;
String getFlag[]= null;
String getLevel[]= null;
mySQLiteAdapter = new SQLiteAdapter(this);
mySQLiteAdapter.openToRead();
Cursor c = mySQLiteAdapter.getQuestionEachLevel(getLevelKey);
if(c.moveToFirst()){
int numOfRows = c.getCount();
getId = new String[numOfRows];
getAnswer = new String[numOfRows];
getQuestion = new String[numOfRows];
getHint = new String[numOfRows];
getFlag = new String[numOfRows];
getLevel = new String[numOfRows];
do{
getId[x] = c.getString(0);
getAnswer[x] = c.getString(1);
getQuestion[x] = c.getString(2);
getHint[x] = c.getString(3);
getFlag[x] = c.getString(4);
getLevel[x] = c.getString(5);
x++;
}while(c.moveToNext());
}
mySQLiteAdapter.close();

Showing message in my inbox

Having trouble in showing the inbox message in android. I have used two contentresolver in one activity . is it going to effect my program? Here is my code:
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
ContentResolver contentResolverSender = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursorsender = contentResolverSender.query(
Uri.parse("content://sms/sent"), null, "address = "
+ senderAddress, null, null);
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"),
null, "address = " + senderAddress, null, null);
startManagingCursor(cursor);
int indexBody = cursor.getColumnIndex(SmsReceiver.BODY);
int indexAddr = cursor.getColumnIndex(SmsReceiver.ADDRESS);
int dateCol = cursor.getColumnIndex(SmsReceiver.DATE);
int i = 0, flag = 0;
int indexSenderBody = cursorsender.getColumnIndex(SmsReceiver.BODY);
String[] addressUniqueness = null;
String name = null;
if (indexBody < 0 || !cursor.moveToFirst())
return;
int j = 0;
String msgSendStr = null;
if (cursorsender.moveToFirst()) {
for (i = 0; i < cursorsender.getCount(); i++) {
msgSendStr = cursorsender.getString(
cursorsender.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")).toString();
msgSendStr = makeShortMstToText(msgSendStr);
bodySendMsg[i] = msgSendStr;
long dateInMilliSecSender = cursorsender.getLong(cursorsender
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(SmsReceiver.DATE));
dateSendMsg[i] = dateInMilliSecSender;
cursorsender.moveToNext();
}
}
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
String msgStr = cursor.getString(indexBody);
long dateInMilliSec = cursor.getLong(cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(SmsReceiver.DATE));
msgStr = makeShortMstToText(msgStr);
bodyRcvMsg[j] = msgStr;
dateRcvMsg[j] = dateInMilliSec;
j++;
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
whenever i open my inbox failed to show inbox message though there is message in my inbox.It shows that start conversation .

Android Contact Picker Checklist

I'm trying to create a "select-multiple" contact list where I can allow a user to check more than one contact. What I'm looking for is effectively the same thing as the native activity that appears when composing a message to multiple contacts. Thanks!

At first you need to get a list of contacts and then display it on ListView element. For example I'm using following code to display all users contacts on a ListView:
// Run query on all contacts id
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME};
String selection = null;//ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " = '" + ("1") + "'";
String[] selectionArgs = null;
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
+ " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
ContentResolver contectResolver = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = contectResolver.query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs,
sortOrder);
//Create buffer
final ArrayList<ContactData> bufferContacts = new ArrayList<ContactData>();
//Load contacts one by one
if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
while(!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String[] emailProj = new String[]{Email.DATA};
Cursor cursorEmail = contectResolver.query(Email.CONTENT_URI, emailProj,Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ? ", new String[] { id }, null);
String[] phoneProj = new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME};
Cursor cursorPhone = contectResolver.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, phoneProj,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null);
String firstName = "";
String lastName = "";
String email = "";
String displayname = "";
String phoneNmb = "";
if(cursorPhone.moveToFirst()) {
///displayname = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
phoneNmb = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
cursorPhone.close();
if(cursorEmail.moveToFirst()) {
email = cursorEmail.getString(cursorEmail.getColumnIndex(Email.DATA));
}
cursorEmail.close();
displayname = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
//Divide display name to first and last
String[] names = displayname.split("\\s+");
firstName = displayname;
if(names.length >= 1) {
firstName = names[0];
}
if(names.length >= 2) {
firstName = names[1];
}
final ContactData contactData = new ContactData(id, firstName, lastName, phoneNmb, email, allChecked);
bufferContacts.add(contactData);
//Set list view initialy
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if(contactsAdapter == null) {
ArrayList<ContactData> contacts = new ArrayList<ContactData>();
contactsAdapter = new ContactAdapter(ContactPickerActivity.this, contacts);
lvContacts.setAdapter(contactsAdapter);
}
if(bufferContacts.size() >= BUFFER_INTERVAL) {
addBuffer(bufferContacts);
}
}
});
cursor.moveToNext();
}
}
cursor.close();
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
addBuffer(bufferContacts);
}
});
