Hi, Does nayone know how to change my profile name on this forum. If it is not possible how could i delete this name and add myself under another name?
Thanks
I want to do the same thing
Are you able to change your name or delete your profile ?
Come on guys, you have great names! It doesn't get much better than beaverfood. Well...
You could always just create a separate account. If you still want to change though, let me know and I'll ask the admin.
im trying to get a very very small program runnint, however im very lost when it comes to programming windows mobile device, i have a database online, and i want a small dialog box to show up on my wm device and alow me to type something in , then it search the online database.. and return the information, or even just take me to where the online listing is, that's all no bells or whistles.. could someone help me with this please?
i have even added a search feature to my database, soo i just basically want this little program to relay text to that search feature, then take me to it.. so i don't have to go to all these links and whatnot
Well,
it is quite hard to advice you anything without actually knowing about the file structure / database format. Maybe the easiest way would be to simply set up a search option online as a WAP2.0 page - if you don't want others to access this section, simply password protect it.
If you really have a need to generate the 'search string' offline (which I just can't understand since you want to be taken to your DB online) then simply use something which generates the search string for you.
For example you could have a "results.php" online which simply needs the search terms 'attached' in order to list you all relevant records. Now, the question remains how the database is structured. If you have 2 fields in your database, containing firstname and lastname, then it would be simple. You would need only something that adds your search terms to the string and then navigates to your server. For example you search for SMITH as lastname, it would have to transfer the string as followed:
www.mysite.com/results.php?lastname=smith
For sure your results.php needs to be programmed first!
However,
this has nothing to do with your device, you better join a programmer forum - in this case I would suggest you look for web development forums since this can be done entirely on the server side!
I'm new to this and I've asked people for help but nobody seems to can BUT if you can show me how I can edit things like, change the folder to where you d/l a MMS or edit the size of the favorited person on FB.
There is no general answer to this question. You must reverse engineer an app and find a way, how to modify what you want.
Ok, I'm listening and willing to learn, but for the touted of such an open source OS like Android, I find it VERY difficult that I cant do things like save pics to a different folder other than "all downloads". There must be a way I can edit the strings or permission to the access of this folder only for downloads.
Hello,
I would like to get a list of database names in code. I'm not looking for databases outside my application/package, just those in my /data/data/<my_package>/database folder.
I can easily locate them on the file system and open them using adb and sqlite3,
but I need to dynamically get a list of databases so that I can open and manage them in code.
I currently use a separate database to keep track of database names as they get created/deleted through my application, but I imagine there is a way to get a list of databases directly via SQL query or some sqlite library call.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,

This should be in the "Android Development" forum.
BTW, I tried to post this question in a more topical "Android Development" forum, but I'm an XDA newb and don't have permissions to post in there.
Maybe these links can help you? I don't do much droid programming anymore and I never worked with databases in droid. Also welcome to XDA

solution
The solution turned out to be very simple.
The main application context has a databaseList() function that, conveniently, returns a list of database names associated with the application.
String[] dbList = getApplicationContext().databaseList();
Thanks for the links dbzfanatic. devx looks like a good resource... it's going on my bookmark bar for sure.
Glad I could help and thanks for posting the solution for others who might have the same question. Since it's a string array I'm guessing the function just returns the DB names and not handles to them?

Correct, just a list of the database names.
I need a few more posts before I'm permitted to post a link, but this is the approximate reference link:

Hi guys we didnt know where else to go so i came here in the hope that the combined knowledge of you guys would fix our problem once and for all
We are looking for someone with a complete XT9 Database that would happily help us create our keyboard
of course this person would be paid in full but we need someone with a fully functional database or at least an understanding of how to create one without too much time taken
most developers are of the understanding that this process should take about 6 months but we know some folks who said they can harvest information from databases and create a fresh database for us within hours
if you or anyone you know can do this i would like to ask if someone could please drop us a line and we would be happy to get them in touch with our developers and maybe give them some money to show our appriciation
please send me a pm if you can help
we are looking for XT9 predictive text and next word prediction databases
a small budget is available for this so please get in touch if you can help
cheers
I'm not a developer, but I can say that it might be a good idea to change your title to say something like, "Looking for a developer with complete XT9 Database to help create keyboard."
Usually people skip generic titles like this.
