Hmm. Does Android open a browser for a url starting with mailto: or does it launch the email intent?

corwin42 Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jun 26, 2013 #92 Sorry I'm currently very busy with other things. Will try your issue in the next days. PS: most times it is better and easier to reproduce an issue if you provide an example project.

M mterveen Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 26, 2013 #93 version 1.03 thx for your response. understand how crazy it can get. basically all i did is download your example from post 1 but use the version 1.03 later in this thread. i'm guessing that 1.03 is not supported by you and i just need to stay with 1.02, although i REALLY like the extra features in 1.03 with forcing the entry type in edittext settings.

M mterveen Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 8, 2013 #94 update corwin42 - have you had a chance to evaluate adding the ability to force the edittext to a specific type as is shown in ver 1.03?

M mterveen Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 11, 2013 #98 corwin - just saw your post. thx so very much for the update. really appreciate your commitment to this community. ****edit **** had another thought! i love the way this thing works. however, is there a way you could make it work also using a user specified file/directory to store other settings. for example, using the lib is great for storing general app settings. however, in my app i also have other Images/views that the user can modify various attributes on, eg. colors,fonts, etc. it would be nice to be able to use this library and its features to store these secondary attributes. specifically i have multiple "dashboards" with various gauges on it (analog, digital, etc.). each gauge can be customized using a common set (20 to 30) of attributes. it would be fantastic if i could attach a secondary "preference" activity for each dashboard using your library vs implementing some type of custom listview. ****edit 2**** or even an internal object of some sort that could be populated from another source and then used as the "map" for the preference activity, with all changes being stored back to the internal map object which could then be distributed back to the original source.
