Hi,
Now I know that you can only create a dialog from an activity. But I have an application that will lock the screen by displaying a progressDialog for a while.
Is there any way around this problem? Can I use the currently displayed activity to display my dialog?
Google just says use a status bar notification instead, but I want to interrupt the user and stop them using the screen!
Thanks

My suggestion would be to ask this in the android-developer mailing list.
Or you can try #android on freenode IRC. Usually alot of Google people hang out there that are will to give some pointers.

Everytime I put down a widget for friends or coworkers etc... It shows orange voicemail Icon, which I do not want on there.
Is there anyway to remove it, or is it the de-branding lark again?
Any Ideas?
No-one??? this is using the HTC people widget by the way!!!
Is there a way of dragging one of the people out of the widget, instead of binning the whole widget?
I think it might be to do with the type of number you have it stored as.
Go into people, then go to the contact and click menu. Then click more, then choose widget action and select if you want to view contact (i think this is the option causing you grief) call mobile, or new message.
To remove it from favourites on that widget you click the contact in people, then menu and edit, then untick favourites in the group box.
I had the same problem and the only way to remove it is to goldcard and load unbranded rom. Orange really murdered the desire with there crap, who comes up with this **** is what I want to know.
I think i may have solved it, if you fill up the contact board, then click the plus button, add a new contact and it should remove the icon!
Hi folks. I've got my Evo rooted with the latest damagecontrol ROM.
Everything was working fine until yesterday but for some reason now every time I get a text message, I get a notification from the original Messaging application in the notification bar. It does not go away even after I've read and/or deleted all messages. For each text message I have to hit clear on the notification bar otherwise it does not go away. I've searched online but haven't find a resolution on this yet. If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I figured it out. It was the stupid "Beautiful SMS" widget set to show bar notifications and integrate self to Handcent.
Quick question:
I seem to remember that when the little new SMS icon in the notification bar would appear, a drag down and click on it would take me to the whole SMS thread. However after flashing a new standard ROM, when i do this it goes to compose a new message. I also have SMS popup installed but cant see any setting in there that would cause this.
Any ideas how i can change this, so clicking the notification shows the whole SMS thread?
Edit your title so that people browsing can see what kind of help you need. Simply having [Q] as the title isn't really acceptable.
Hmmm, no idea how the title didnt go through first time...
Thanks for the heads up!
Please be advised this application is under constant development.
Compact Calendar was developed to solve the need of compact UI experience that I was missing using the regular WP7 calendar. Also in the time when I started this project, there was no possibility to import additional internet calendars. And also I wanted to gain experience in WP7 development.
Few words about the app:
Events are being read from built in calendar (so please do not define them again in compactCal), after that you can import any ical you want. They can be downloaded by configurable time span from 15 minutes up to a year.
When the list is scrolled to the bottom of list, calendar will be feeded with events from configurable time frame, again time frame is from 15 minutes up a year. You can also switch on/off loading of past events (time frame is also configurable).
You can choose from two kind of view: compact and even more compact view. Duration of each event can be displayed in four ways: classic (09:00[am] - 11:00[am]) or advance (10:00[am]-02:00).
To quickly find the closest event simply touch the first event text at top of a page.
To display more details about the event double tap event you are interest in (first display is a bit slow), if you have an address there and the bing can find it, it will be displayed. To see next or previous one use the finger to swipe to the right (next) or left(prev)
Of course there are a lots of place for fixing the app and I'm still working on it, but I wanted to share the current beta with you and maybe gain some reviews about the general idea, get reports about new bugs that you found, or maybe some requirements that are not on my list.
Missing, todos:
- bug fix
- better/nicer icons
- performance test and fix
- creating reminders
- creation of new entries, currently compactCal is just a readonly application
- tiles, live tiles
- How to modify the screen lock to display the information from calendar
- more
Issues can be found on bitbucket.org, add this suffix (since I cannot add external urls) /jstadnicki/compactcal/issues
Application runs on my LG-E900 and emulator. Was not tested on any other device. This is my first WP7 application so please treat gently.
Hope you guys will like it.

Wow. looks great. Is it possible to color events based on categories from Outlook Exchange? I know, i couldnt enter them in the WP7 calender, but the field is available. Maybe you can use it or WP7 will use it somedays with a update, what is hope so much.

Unfortunately no - there is no such api that can give me this kind of information.
I use Android 4.4.2, Vanir ROM.
When i open the phone / blue icon / i want to have all the contacts first ( NOT like in the image below ) but i couldn't find a way in ROM settings or contacts settings.

Thanks, any ideas are welcome.
Open the people app instead.
But you know, if you star your most frequent contacted people, they should automatically show up there. and when you start calling people more, they will also show up there. You just have to use it and let it learn.
Click the three lines in right corner and then "all contacts".
