[Q] copy from windows clipboard to android

Is there a way of copying text from the windows clipboard into the android phone? I have Bible notes in a windows program that I want to copy to an android program. they are made by different companies, so the easiest way to copy would be to do a verse by verse copy and paste. However, I don't see how I can use my windows machine to get into the android clipboard.
I tried using droid explorer, but couldn't figure it out. I was able to do a screencast.

Best way to do it is to copy the text on the pc into a txt file, like using notepad. Copy that to your phone, then open it using a file explorer, use that text editor, copy it on the phone, then paste it where you need it.

Yes, every will work. Not sure why I didn't think of that. I guess when you have something stuck in your head, it's sometimes hard to figure out alternatives.

To add on to what's already been said, once you save it as a .txt file and save it to your SD card you can import it into AK Notepad. I'm sure that there are other apps that allow this, but that's the app I use & I know that it works. You can also create a shortcut to the imported file on your homescreen (long-press on the note from within the app and select "pin to homescreen") or add a widget so you can access it easily.

You can also use the Google Chrome to Phone extension and program to push snippets of text from your browser to the phone. I'm finding myself using Evernote more than that lately though. Catch notes, Springpad, or any of the other notepad apps that sync would work. It's nice because it works great both ways -- I can copy something from the phone and create a note, then read it from the PC, or vice versa.

Thanks all. I will use google docs. They already have my information.

HomeBrew PDF viewer with sending PDF

Is it possible to develop:
1. HomeBrew PDF viewer with sending PDF instead the Adobe's Reader ?
2. HomeBrew PDF sender which access to Isolated Storage of Adobe's Reader ?
Thanks for info.

1. Yes of course but it's really hard and complex task. Also, you can't assign your viewer as a default PDF viewer.
2. No for regular MP apps (you can't access someone else sandbox), but very possible for interop-unlocked handset.

question 1:
Yes, but I think is really difficult.
To associate PDF extension with your app you have to change registry keys on device (HKCR\.pdf sends you to HKCR\PDFFile that contains the appId to use to open pdfs), but on unlocked device only
question 2:
Yes, but on unlocked device only

Yes, that's why I wrote that I want HOMEBREW APP not official.

"You want" or "you want to write app"? If first - you may forget about it The only hope - if someone will port that project http://sourceforge.net/projects/clown/ to WP7 SL.

You can always replicate the existing adobe reader app, than by using reflector copy the code, than modify it according your needs.
The reading part is being done by some dll which you can use.
Now instead of rerouting the pdfs to a different folder just use the same app ID and overwrite the official app. Now all pdfs end up in your custom build pdf reader.
Good luck

or hoping that there is an usable user control in Adobe Reader's DLL

On unlocked devices the following could be done:
a homebrew app which syncs the isolated storage folder of the Adope Reader with the My Documents folder (manual sync and maybe a background task which syncs both folder in a predefined interval). This would give us the possibility to send .pdf´s via email or upload them to skydrive via the Office Hub.
Atm I copy my pdf´s with a filebrowser to the MyDocuments folder and all works fine but it would be nice to have an app which could make life easier.
I´m not able to write such an app but I know that it´s possible.

spavlin,
1. Do this apps allow to switch as be default PDF reader ?
2. Do this apps allow to send PDF files via email ?
If not both of them why do you put it here ?

Hi!
Just a sidenote:
Adobe Reader for WP7 sucks as it lacks the reflow option which is quite useful for reading documents on little displays. If someone starts to develop please keep in mind this function.
Regadrs,
Cina.

All those Marketplace apps are crap because they don´t replace the original pdf-reader.
Currently there is no app which can do what you want. The only solution is a homebrew app.

Yes, does somoone create homebrew pdf app which can:
1. Send Pdf via email
2. Be the default pdf app

Uhm, you could get the .xap of the original Adobe Reader app, and decompile it. Then you could add the functions you need to the officially app. It sould not be that complicated but some annoying work, I guess...

did you try the PDF Move app?

[Q] Polaris - Copy & Paste Formula

How the heck do you copy and paste formulas in this thing? It worked on my original Note.

Polaris Office 4.0 SUCKS; use KINGSOFT OFFICE
I found out this is a problem with Polaris. It does not allow you to save the file you are editing. You cannot even do a Save As over another existing file. You have to save the current file being edited as a new file. They do not even have a way to contact them for support. It's a useless business.
I downloaded Kingsoft Office and it works fine.

[Q] Exclude Folders from display when activating Gallery

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can exclude folders from display when I use the Gallery app?
I have lots of books in Aldiko that have covers and the Gallery app loads each of them when I use it. This can really slow down the use of the Gallery app.
I have tried manually deleting them whilst in Gallery but if I switch the device off it just reloads them the next time I use Gallery.
Hope someone can advise.
best regards

I know this works for music but i think it should also work for pictures. You can create or copy a .nomedia file in the folder and it won't scan the folder

The real solution for this is to use quickpic and then it will let you exclude folders.

Are you sure you're not trying to hid your porn pics or videos?
OK, here's the pro tip from yours truly. Make a folder and when you name it, place a period in the beginning of the name. So for example if you name your folder "Pictures" put ".Pictures" for the folder name. This will hide the folder. Have fun.

Very fun hahaha !
>Don't do that because your folder will disapear and no app could open it...Even if you connect your tab the folder won't appear on windows...
After that you have to unmount your card and connect it directly on your computer to rename your folder...
You haven't a good behavior Gasaraki-...shame on you !

Windows can see the hidden folder... Just have the "show hidden folders" option enabled on your machine.
Also if you have a file browser on your tablet like ES File Explorer, they can all see hidden folders.
Are you just pulling my leg?

You can also see hidden "dot" folders on the tablet in Root Explorer (you don't have to be rooted). Astro and few other explorers don't show them.

It is possible!

You must know how:
open the gallery
Long press any folder
select the folders you want to hide
open menu (with menu key)
select 'hide selection' (or something like)
done
PS. This only works with internal files and not with files on a sd-card ?!

That did it.

[Q] How to open two word documents side by side?

I just need it to compare documents. How do I open two Polaris Office word documents side by side? Sharing half a screen?

I also tried same, but I opened 2 pdf files side by side, those apps were Adobe & Polaris. On similar lines you try by installing any office suit app which would support multi window feature just as Adobe & Polaris permit. I think in Polaris we can open 1 file at a time. Keep trying with other purchase apps,may be those allow to open more than 1 file.
Let me know what happens.:good:
