I want to reuse android 4.0.4 call screen. but I cant access some widget classes which they are using. Can any one suggest me. Thanks in advance.
The source to Android is available; nothing prevents you from downloading it, getting the source to the widget you're interested in, and including that source (and any resources it needs) in your project. People have been doing this since Android was introduced.

I have to estimate the time it takes to update a specific application made for Android 4.4 to Android 10 and I need to see all the methods that are deprecated or not working. Is there any way to see the methods without going file by file? (I'm using Android Studio with Java)
When I build the application I only get one or two types of error at a time, when I correct them I get another one and so on.
Thanks and best regards.
P.S: How long does it take you to update something like that? I'm a junior and I'm a little lost doing this.
Here, go to Analyze -> Inspect code. After inspecting check maturity there you will have depreciated methods. (Don't forget to change minSdk)
After you will do that it give you method with a warning and you can filter it by having API not support warning
Okay here's the deal:
I want to download the full source of the MMS/SMS application that ships with Android phones. I want to be able to modify it, and add a little custom functionality to it.
I am developing using Eclipse, and I'm on Windows 7. I have noticed that there is now a Git for Windows, but I am pretty lost in it and not sure how to integrate everything with Eclipse.
Basically, I want to just get it to the point where I have all the source code visible in Eclipse and be able to see the app run JUST like the built-in texting/MMS app that is already on my phone. Then I'll know that I can modify it and proceed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
There's a mirror of the SMS/MMS app on GitHub here. Just import that to Eclipse and customise away.
Unless you want to customize and use it only on your own phone (without publishing), this is not a good idea. This is because it uses classes that are hidden from the sdk. By default you won't even be able to build the apk via eclipse, but there is a way. The reason why this is a bad idea is that the hidden apis are not guaranteed to remain the same through different api-levels and your app can stop working with the next android update, and might also not work on previous api-levels. In-fact your app might not even work on selected phones running the same api-level.
I was wondering if it was possible to recreate the android 4.0 lockscreen within an application. I want to use it as the way to navigate through my app. Is it possible to pull the source of the lockscreen from a ROM and then modify it to fit? Does anyone know how it would be recreated? It doesn't seem like anyone's tried this before according to google or the similar questions on the side, any input is much appreciated!
As stated in this answer, the source code for the Android lock screen can be found in the platform/frameworks/policies/base Git repository, in the phone/com/android/internal/policy/impl/LockScreen.java file. You can read the instructions on how to download the Android source code here, or you can read the source file online here.
EDIT: I am sorry, I probably posted the source code for an older version of the lock screen than the one you were looking for (from sometime around 2010, I believe). Nevertheless, the Android lock screen from Ice Cream Sandwhich should probably be in the Android source code somewhere, so you should be able to just search a bit and hopefully find it.
I have an older 2.x Android app that I am finally getting around to testing out on 3.x, and noticed that I can't seem to create a Live Folder for the application on a 3.1 tablet. Is it possible to create live folders for apps on 3.x+ devices, or are they no longer supported?
They are no longer supported. Instead you can create a widget with a ListView inside.
this app brings back livefolders to honeycomb and above

i used this source code for my project. i think it will also used full for you. http://androidostutor.net/android-live-folder-example/
I want to use a SlidingDrawer in an activity, and I would love to just use the built-in tray handle, rather than try to find or create my own. I found it online thanks to CommonsWare but I assume that they got it from the Android platform itself, so I figure it will benefit me in the long run to know where to find it, rather than just use their copy of it. I looked for it in my Android SDK installation, under platforms/android-8/android.jar/res/ but with no success.
Where can I find the above image, in the Android SDK itself, rather than just downloading it?
Look in the launcher app: ~\platform\packages\apps\Launcher\res\drawable\handle.xml
It uses all the drawables: tray_handle_normal, tray_handle_pressed, tray_handle_selected.
may be you can type android.R.drawable... in eclipse and let the intelli-sense display all the built in drawables.
but I think it's not there cause I searched for it and didn't find it too
thanks
Be carefull with using images that come with the system. Google itself states that they will not guarantee that these images will be included in the system in every release (the name may change). Also the design of your app will change if the user uses something like Blur or Sense that overrides a lot of the standard design items. If you use a copy of the drawable itself you now how your app will look and you can be sure that your app will keep working even if the manufacturer or Google changes the images that come with a device.
