How do I change the Android SMS tone despite of current SMS tone setting?

By User



I have developed an Android application for changing ringtones. It works quite well, but one thing bothers me.





When I set a ringtone as a notification tone, it plays when I receive an SMS message. However, if I have chosen a custom SMS tone earlier (ie. anything else than "Default ringtone" which is active by default) in the SMS settings, the new notification tone will not play when I receive an SMS.





This might lead to a situation in which someone installs the ringtone app from the Android market, sets the notification tone and gets disappointed because the chosen notification will not play when (s)he receives an SMS. The solution is quite easy (SMS -> Settings -> Select ringtone -> Default ringtone), but it's truly a nuisance if (s)he doesn't know this.





This is what I use to set the notification tone:







values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true);

values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, true);

values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, true);







.....







RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(this, RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION, persistentUri);

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
