Ant build-app signing problem (Lulz hlep!)

Ok, I'm trying to build my app with admob .jar library. When I build it with the android eclipse plugin, it claims that the "install was unsuccessful" on my phone. I then tried using the following build.xml with ant. When I put the debug signed version on my phone it works fine. When I try to sign the unsigned .apk, it says:

Using latest version of jdk, android sdk, eclipse, and admob sdk
Is there a secret way to use the eclipse android plugin instead of ant? It just never captures the jar files when I use eclipse.
I am so confused and frustrated right now. It's probably some stupid small problem but I cant find it. HLEP!

.... nevermind, I just figured it out. To anyone with similar problems, you DON'T need to use a build.xml if you're using Eclipse. Put the .jar in your libs folder, then Right click your project -> Build path -> configure build path. Click the Libraries tab, then click Add JARs... Then select the jar WITHIN your current project. I also selected the jar in order and export. Not sure if you have to, but it worked.

Broadcasted intent not being received by system app

Posted this on stackoverflow but got no response so I'm trying here.
I have a BroadcastReciever in a system app that I want to send an Intent to (for testing purposes as I'm modding that system app).
The AndroidManifest.xml of the system app looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:versionCode="15" android:versionName="4.0.4-I9300XXALF6" package="com.sec.android.contextaware"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BROADCAST_PACKAGE_REMOVED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_LOGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DUMP" />
<application android:label="@string/app_name">
<receiver android:label="StateReceiver" android:name=".abstractor.StateReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.sec.android.contextaware.HEADSET_PLUG" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.LOCALE_CHANGED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.headset.profile.action.CONNECTION_STATE_CHANGED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<provider android:name=".manager.LoggingDataProvider" android:authorities="com.sec.android.contextaware.manager.LoggingDataProvider" />
</application>
</manifest>
I use a test app and check if the target system app indeed can receive that intent with:
Code:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.sec.android.contextaware.HEADSET_PLUG");
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : pm.queryBroadcastReceivers(bt, 0)) {
Log.d("APP: ", resolveInfo.toString());
}
and get back a `ResolveInfo` with the system app's info, so it should be able to receive the intent. I then broadcast the intent with:
Code:
sendBroadcast(intent);
However nothing happens, the intent is not received. I have full control of the target system app's manifest file and code. Is it possible to somehow get the intent across?
Device is rooted.

AndroidManifest.xml issues

Alright I used this same AndroidManifest.xml code several times to create my app and it worked just fine now I'm getting 5 different errors and I can't figure out why.
Here's the xml code:

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Here's the errors I"m getting every time I try to create the apk:
Code:

Error:(28, 24) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'theme' with value '@style/AppTheme').

Could someone possibly help me fix my issue please?

Create Settings shortcut for Settings$RunningServices

Hi all,
i'm going to extend the existing Settings shortcut widget in Android Nougat with "Running services", which actually can be launched under Settings -> Developer options.
I found following two sections in packages/apps/Settings/AndroidManifext.xml:
Code:
<activity-alias android:name=".RunningServices"
android:label="@string/runningservices_settings_title"
android:exported="true"
android:targetActivity="Settings$ManageApplicationsActivity">
<meta-data android:name="com.android.settings.FRAGMENT_CLASS"
android:value="com.android.settings.applications.ManageApplications" />
</activity-alias>
<activity android:name="Settings$RunningServicesActivity"
android:label="@string/runningservices_settings_title"
android:taskAffinity="com.android.settings"
android:parentActivityName="Settings">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.VOICE_LAUNCH" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="com.android.settings.FRAGMENT_CLASS"
android:value="com.android.settings.applications.ManageApplications" />
<meta-data android:name="com.android.settings.PRIMARY_PROFILE_CONTROLLED"
android:value="true" />
</activity>
and deleted the activity-alias part and changed the activity part to this:
Code:
<activity android:name="Settings$RunningServicesActivity"
android:label="@string/runningservices_settings_title"
android:taskAffinity="">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="com.android.settings.SHORTCUT" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="com.android.settings.FRAGMENT_CLASS"
android:value="com.android.settings.applications.RunningServices" />
<meta-data android:name="com.android.settings.PRIMARY_PROFILE_CONTROLLED"
android:value="true" />
</activity>
I know that there will be a shortcut after building Android, but the last two times i tried it with other changes i ran into RuntimeException. Will this be the right part?
Kind regards
Pat

I know this thread is ancient but it appears on google search results so I thought I would post something I found that works:
Code:
am start -n com.android.settings/.SubSettings -e :settings:show_fragment com.android.settings.applications.RunningServices
This works for android 9 but needs to be run as root.

migrate app to Android 12

i've an old Android app "com.example.package" that works fine until on Android 9, on Android 10 i've never tested, but on Android 11 & 12 no longer work
this app - on first launch after installation - needs to download additional data on "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.example.package/files/", but on Android 11 & 12 - get this error while starting additional data download:
Download stopped
com.example.androidlib.j: Could not create the directory /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.example.package/files/
with last ApkTool v2.7.0 java version (.jar) (tested also with last APK Editor on Android) i've decompiled APK file, and this is stock AndroidManifest.xml:
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?><manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:installLocation="preferExternal" package="com.example.package" platformBuildVersionCode="9" platformBuildVersionName="2.3.1">

<activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="com.example.androidlib.GLExtensionActivity" android:screenOrientation="landscape"/>
</application>
</manifest>
i tried to fix permission & build version issues with this strings:
platformBuildVersionCode="31" platformBuildVersionName="12"
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
and finally i've recompiled all with same last ApkTool v2.7.0 java version (.jar) (tested also with last APK Editor on Android)
but unfortunately, persist the error while starting additional data download
not work even if manually move additional data on right path/folder
how to solve?!?

To give users more control over their files and limit file clutter, Android 10 introduced a new storage paradigm for apps called scoped storage. Scoped storage changes the way apps store and access files on a device's external storage.
Therefore, for your app problems, in order to adapt to Android 10 and later, I recommend that you open the app project in Android Studio, make corresponding modifications of the source code, and rebuild and generate a new apk.
