Android default media player access
I'm coding an app that works with the current status of the Android Media Player, basically, I'm trying to find a way to obtain, for example, the current track information or the track next on the library/playlist.
Thing is, I couldn't find any way to "connect" to the app, I read about some services and copying an Android MP file to my project and so on, but I just wanted to check if there's another way such as a content provider.

Answer 1
As commonsware mentioned, there is no official method for accessing the Music Player status. There is an unofficial method though..
WARNING: This is an unofficial method and will probably break in the future. So, don't use it for any production applications.
The unofficial method of accessing IMediaPlaybackService is described in this blog post by Alex Curelea and there is sample code in the scrobbledroid Google Code Project.
Answer 2
The Music application is not part of the SDK, so there is no reliable and supported way to interact with it.

layout - How to resize a android webview after adding data in it
In a layout (linear, vertical) hierarchy I've got several views and one of them is a WebView.
They all have same parameters:
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
For all views, the spacing between elements is correctly handled but for the Webview there is a lot of spaces after the displayed text inside.
I set the (HTML) text of the webview in the ...

Android "hover" event in custom layout
I have a custom layout that I have written that basically just displays a bunch of ImageViews. I am handing onTouch events for all the ImageViews in my layout.

How would I go about capturing this behaviour?
android - What is the ideal place to cache images?
I am fetching a lot of thumbnails in my application from a remote server and lazy-loading these in a list view.
The image fetches run in a background AsynTask and when completed the fetched images are stored in a HashMap using SoftReferences.
This works just fine but when the images in the cache gets GC’d, the fetches have to be rerun.
I could have stored them on the SD card so there would be no...
