Basic question re Android Studio (all help much appreciated!) - Android Studio

Hi Everyone,
I'm really new to developing and using Android Studio.
I wanted to ask for advice on something that has been bugging me. When I press the green play button to send the app to my phone, it doesnt work if Module settings/project structure/Build Tools Version/ is set to 24.0.1 (as it was by default).
Instead, I have to change it to 23.0.3.
Can anyone shed any light on why this might be? I dont really understand what these settings even are so stand very little chance of figuring this out!
All help much appreciated
p.s im using a Galaxy Note 5

Do you see your device in the device selection window when you press the green play button?
If you don't, you may check on the Module settings/Flavors/Min Sdk Version/ whether it is beyond your phone Android OS version. If you're not sure about the number, you can check on https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html.
Hope this helps you.

PDFviewer icon return

i know pdfviewer is installed on my phone. i see it in my apps settings. is there anyway to get back the icon showing in the app drawer so that i may attempt to use. i know its some coding. but im not very good and if anyone who knows and where i can input in terminal emulator. any help would be appreciated. thanks
No one with any help on this? Any devs with any ideas? Please. At least something if its even do-able

Fennec???

Could someone put the app together or post an APK that WORKS, please and thank you
P.S. Im assuming this will get moved to themes and apps
your talking about Firefox Browser correct?
if you are, then its in a very early pre-alpha stage. the only know build is for the nokia handsets running the maemo OS, which is in beta 5. there is also a alpha 3 version for windows mobile 6. there is still a lot of work that the Mozilla team has to do before they can even get anything running on the android OS.
If you assume its going to get moved, then you posted it in the wrong spot.
I have a build for the Android, and I have the error logs from the crash. I will work on it when I have time.
Please stop posting in the wrong forums if you know its the wrong one.

Wow, amazingly searching the forums may have worked for you guy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654951
Has anyone been able to get this to load? I get as far as the "launch" button then it disapears and goes back to the home screen (if you launch GeckoApp with your phone in landscape you dont get the force close...)
Thinking this phone does not have enough power since this installs to a 40+mb app. looks like it does have a lot of bloat installed with it for other OS's.
At least we know they are working on a android version!!

[Q] Screen shaking

Hi All,
I am very new to galaxy tab.
I am running on official gingerbread, flashed following the guidelines on the site. Other than a checksum error it went smoothly and working just fine.
I have another problem though. When I hold it in portrait mode, trying to move up and down with my finger causes the screen to shake.
Somerimes more sonetines a little less but it is always there.
In landscaepe mode it almost does not exist, working smooth.
I tried doing a lot of search but could.not find anything on it.
unfortunately I did not pay attenrion if it was hapening on stock froyo, did not stay on that long enough.
Charging or not does not affect it.
Being suspicious about screen protector I rwmoved it but no change
Did anyone else experience anyrhing similar?
Thanks in advance for help.
Same problem here
Hi, I have the same problem here, I did woked on froyo for about a day or two, and the problem was not there, I upgraded to Overcome 2.0 and the problem is now there.
Similar to you, on landscape the problem is less evident, but still there.
In my case, on you-tube application, I don't have any shacking.
I hope someone finds a solution, problem seems to be software-based.
I just checked it, you are right, youtube does not present the same problem.
Lets hope for a solution from the experts.
Cheers
anyone?
this shaking is driving me nuts......the screen shakes so much when held down down that it pretty much renders google maps unuseable.
HELP PLEASE!!!
is it a screen sensitivity issue that we can tweak or something?
i've been googling for a month for answers now but no luck...
please please...
Similar topic in XDA
Hi guys, there is a similar topic here in XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14354988&posted=1#post14354988
I have the same problem in my Galaxy Tab, and I show in a page in fgfaria.com
I now suspect it may be a deffect in some specific feature in some library used by some apps and not used in other apps.
I installed Android SDK in my PC, and created an simple app following a tutorial, with a list of countries that can be scrolled up and down. In this very simple app, the problem doesn't happen, just like youtube.
I've found an app that could potentially solve the problem, but my GT is not rooted, and can't use it. It's called "ILITEK Touch Utility" and it's available for free in Android Market.
Let me know if it's useful for any of you.
Regards,
Fabio
My tab does exactly the same thing as per your weblink.
The app i have download but once i hit the calibrate button, I somehow get denied access.
Any way around it? This shaking is getting old......sigh
Software, not hardware
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Chris, I believe the denied access is because the GT is not rooted. The app must need access to pretty low level adjustments, and only rooting the device would make that possible.
I have the same messages in my GT, but rooting is kind of my last option to solve this.
My current options are:
1) Wait for an official Gingerbread update
2) If that doesn't solve, I'll contact my factory warranty
3) If they deny this is a problem, or if they can't fix it, I'll try rooting and using this app
While the first option is not available, I'll continue my search for another fix.
Cheers,
Fabio

Another possible explanation for the problem not happening in the app from the tutorial is that libraries being used include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...
mine shakes but not noticable,.. i didn't notice this on froyo
Hi,
Thank you all for responses. I have been searching too but did not find anything.
However I have a theory.
The screen shaking phenomenon does not happen (or unnoticably little) when you are on a dark screen. Web browser included.
Is this your observation too?
Cheers
mine do shake even if its dark, originally i found this "bug" couple of days ago, when im in bed late at night, i initially thought that the shaking was via my finger, and was surprised to see this post a while ago
Note: My tab is rooted because I'm currently running the Overcome 2.0 RC1 rom.
*major headache *
Fully agree! Mine shakes only in light background! Same problem, but in this case, it looks more like a hardware issue than software (intuitively, at least, hardware is more likely to be affected by screen luminosity than software). The solution though, could be a software filter of fast screen movements...
Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...
Hi everyone,
Is the same problem happening in the new 2.3.3 asia roms?
Do you have any experience?
Cheers.

Where can the new room be found? I'd like to give it a try, is the Overcome golden 2.3.3 Asia room?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I was referring to official asia roms.
They are available in samfirmware.com but I have not tried myself.
Cheers
Anyone found a solution yet?

Quick Advice about Build.Prop needed

Hi everyone,
OK I need some advice (I'm still a n00b at all of this).
I changed my build.prop to be a HTC PC36100 at one point early in the spring so I could watch Netflix, and all was well... now that Netflix is open to all, I'm having another problem... I can't get Google+ to show up in the market place for me... to me this is odd, as I thought HTC PC36100 was the Evo, and there's no reason that it shouldn't pop up, but it doesn't....
So I'm not 100% sure if this is a build.prop issue or if I need to tweek something else. If it is a build.prop issue, what should I change it to? I'm running NookieComb_0.4.1.3_OC (not sure if that makes a HUGE difference or not)...
again, any help would be greatly appriciated by my n00b-ness...
danke,
JT

Everything in app goes directly to (0,0) in my app.

I created a simple square the number app for a test since I am new to Android Studio. When I ran the app on my virtual Nexus 5, regardless of wherever i had put everything, the text box, button, and input thing all went to 0,0. See it in the picture below:

Someone please help me!
Thank you,
Sourc3Field
I think since you are newer you can't post an image yet because there is no image.
But feel free to post your code and we can help you figure it out.

Same thing is happening to me.
I'm building some simple apks but when I run them on my phone (or BlueStacks simulator), all of the fields/widgets are on top of the screen and on top of each other.
