    Automatically open and play attached MP3 file in email message?

    I'm wondering how difficult it would be to write an android app that would look into email on the phone for a certain sender and automatically play the attached MP3 file from the message? Is this something that would be possible? Where would I get started?

    Automatically open and play attached MP3 file in email message?

    I'm writing a system that forwards my Fire/EMS scanner calls to my email so I can get these alerts when I'm not at home. I have the back-end system working and now I'd like to see if it's possible to automatically play the MP3 file when it is received (via email) on my android phone...

    Any way to stop S6 Active from dozing?

    I've got an S6 Active and a specialized app from blackberry that opens a VPN to move email data. When doze kicks in it shuts down the VPN. I have tried disabling all apps in the battery optimization section but that doesn't work. Had same exact problem on BB Priv (handset). I found a program...

    Wifi disconnects on MM

    So Frick'n weird... I left the S6A at home today with a laptop set to constantly ping the phone. When I got home the ping test was 100% fail. I picked the phone up being careful not to touch the screen or any buttons and waved it around for a second or two and the ping test came back to life...

    Wifi disconnects on MM

    I've been testing a S6A with BB Enterprise server and one of the things that this software does is to create a persistant VPN to the back end to send secure email. I've noticed that somewhere between 1-2 hours the VPN comes down and won't get reinstated until I wake the phone up. I've disabled...

    Any way to go back from 6.0.1 MM to 5.1.x Lollipop?

    I upgraded my S6 Active to Marshmallow using a guide over on XDA forums. The upgrade went fine and I actually like MM. I'm having a problem with a very specific APP (BB BES 12 & Android for Work) and as a part of the troubleshooting of this problem would like to take the phone back to the...

    Chrome Startup Page how do I set (not homepage)

    thanks for the reply. I think I saw a post saying I could launch chrome with a url which would in a sense give me the same functionality of a start page. Any idea how to do that? I don't think the icons have properties like on a computer.

    Chrome Startup Page how do I set (not homepage)

    I'm used to using Chrome on my windows pc. There you set a startup page which is were it takes you when you start the browser. I've got an S6 Active. Seems like a strange thing to remove, we've had startup pages since the very early versions of browsers. Why would I want to return to the...

    Chromcast xfinity tv from Android Phone (s6) Can it be done?

    I believe I read the same thing. If that's true, then how doe we actually use chromecast? I'm starting to think it's not actually capable of doing this on the android app, but rather from a PC or other device. Has anyone been able to cast xfinity from an android device?

    Chromcast xfinity tv from Android Phone (s6) Can it be done?

    I have a chromecast on my TV. Can I cast xfinity live channel to my TV? I don't see a cast icon in the xfinity android app. I tried logging on to xfinity via chrome and it said I had to use the app. Seems like it can't be done. Am I missing something? Thanks, Roveer
