In my app I want to display different icons for the application. Changes should be according to the scenario. For example, it will mark the number of days remaining for the task completion. On the android menu this icon will display the number of days remaining. If anyone has any idea for this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
There are actually a number of ways to achieve this. If you notice Google's clock app these days, it does show the current time.
You can refer to this tutorial: https://blog.jakelee.co.uk/programmatically-changing-app-icon/
Or find even more ways here: How to change an application icon programmatically in Android?

This can be done easily. Within your activity code, just write:
getActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.new_icon);

I'm looking for a way to programmatically favorite an android app. I need to do this either in Java or in Android Shell. It doesnt matter if the method requires SU/Root or not.
By favoriting an app I mean adding a quick launch icon to the "footer" of the home screen.
Thank you very much in advance. I've spend hours on this problem and I cant seem to find an answer.
I've googled and searched for an answer to my question but all I can find is people asking about rating systems that pop up a dialogue after a number of launches.
My application is for a live wallpaper so I expect most people to launch and set it once.
I just want a preference button that takes users as directly as possible to the app rating screen.
Can anyone suggest the best way to accomplish this? Thank you!

My application name has 15 characters. But in apps list of android device does not shows the full name. So I want to set marquee for my lable in android manifest. But I dont know how even I didn't know wheather it is possible or not.
I was googling it near 4 hours but the solution is only for title of each activity and not for application name.
sample image for reference:
This is sample image taken from google. I could not take screenshot of my device.
Note the red marked name. I want this name to be scroll. If it is possible means please help me friends.
Thanks in advance.
You are not able to make the name scroll on the user's device, as this is (probably) a launcher feature. Unless the user's launcher is able to scroll long app names, it's not going to scroll. This is not something you can control through your app.
you cannot do that pro grammatically. Thats an default functionality of the every single OS manufactures . Its depend upon them only. Some manufactures will set marque and some of then wont set.
Marquee is not supported on all android mobile devices. Anyways check out this link you may be lucky ;)
I need to add help menu in my android application to help users know about the app for first time when they start Should show pop up screen like this
well, I can do this by adding such images but Is there any library or sample project available that I can use to achieve this!
here is developers link down there is a semi transparent image
What needs to happen is getting the locations of the relevant views and pass them, in an intent, to a help activity with a transparent background. Luckily, there is an open source library for this. Check out ShowcaseView . It is what you are looking for.
