Ok so I want to learn android push notifications. I found at android to use the C2DM service.
http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/
Great they even give me an example. http://code.google.com/p/jumpnote/downloads/list
My problem is I don't know what to do with the file after I download it. :P
It is an .apk file. So how do I open it in eclipse to learn from it?
An apk is an android install app thingy you run it on your phone. To edit search android code examples and select the first one select what you want to edit dowbload the manifest and the other files and edit them in eclipse. Have you ever tried opening a .exe in notepad it does not work so well because it is already compiled same (i think) with the. Apk also make sure you have the android plugib for exlipse. Sorry for the strange language I am a delvoper who forgets the name of everything. And the grammer i am only 13.
Rename it to .zip and you can open it with your favorite zip unarchiving program.

I'm modifying the Firefox Android App. I'm trying to change the search suggestions feature from Google to another search engine. To do this I have to change 2 files
The first file I change is:
fenix/app/build/intermediates/merged_assets/debug/out/search/list.json
The second file that I add is:
app/build/intermediates/merged_assets/debug/out/searchplugins/test.xml
After I make these changes and run the app in the emulator to test it out, the changes that I make are reversed/undone/overwritten, and the notice pops up saying "Files under the "build" folder are generated and should not be edited".
What should I do to make my changes save here? Why are the files being reverted back to before I changed them?
Thanks for your help
Newbie here!
I have downloaded the .apk to Android Studio to make some changes to the code. I want to add a requirement for a user to insert 'a memorable word' when they register. But when I try and edit the required file, I just get an alert box telling the file is read only. I have tried to alter this in the panel but to no effect. It is possible the previous developer locked the files. How do I go about editing from this point forward, if the developer has locked the files, on which file/folder do I alter to make the files editable.
The .apk file you have is a compiled version of the code. Android studio can decompile this for you when you import it to view the content, but you cannot edit the decompiled code directly.
Your best bet is to acquire the original source code. Other option is to try decompiling and recompiling the .apk like explained in this post.
I am a full time Android Developer and in the current firm I am working at, I have found my system to have modifications that I didn't perform(when I turned it on the next morning) . I am okay with casual modifications(if at all) but am afraid that if my Android projects may get "stolen", it may get out of hand.
So, without making this a workplace issue, I would simply like to password protect my source.
How can I achieve the same?
I don't think there is such option in android studio but you can do it so easy. After writing your project you can save it as password protected Archive file using 7zip
Go to your project, right click your project folder>>7-Zip>>Add to archive>>Encription>>Add your password>>save. Then delete your project folder after saving and closing android studio.
[Do not use export option in android studio because you will need do download all external libraries next time you open it and there is no password protection]
Basically , I'm doing a course in udacity and making the app they are teaching. The videos are pretty old and new information is given as text in the git directory. One of the changes I have to do is add a gradle.properties entry. However, I do not know where the folder they specified is located.
I've been stuck trying to find it for quite a while. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This is what they asked me to do.
My android SDK is located here
I do my projects in the desktop folder.
USER_HOME usually refers to your home directory as determined by the operating system. In Windows, this is C:\Users\<your user name>.
%USER_HOME% Means Directory of Which User Account in windows you are using for example: Your User Account Name in Windows is Syed Kamran So Your %USER_HOME% Will be C:/Users/Syed Kamran,
hope You Batter Understand Now, 🤗
I install my apps by sending the apk file to my gmail account as an attachment and then install the app from there. But by doing this, I find that I can install only one app at any point. the device tries to replace any previously installed app if i try to download and install another one. I found the same thing when sideloading the apps through command prompt. am i missing something here?
any help is appreciated.
thanks.
You need to have different package names for the apps , also if you do this, put separate names too to avoid confusion on your home screen.
There are two kinds of packages in Android-land. One is the Java package that your classes are in and the other is the Android package that is in the manifest. I assume that you are talking about the Android package, not the Java class package, right? I was confused by the need to give a package name in the manifest and assumed that it wanted the Java package name. And since I used the same Java package for both of my first two apps, when I installed the second one, it replaced the first one.
On a related question, what is a typical naming convention for Android packages?
First of all, go to File and find Export to zip file and click it.
Like here:
.
Now extract the generated zip file and reopen this Android project. It works for me.
Try renaming the .apk files, that might help.
