Doing this using Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT returns a URI. I can open an InputStream and read the file into an instance of File and then check the last modified date. However, copying the file's contents into an instance of File every 5 seconds or so just to check whether it has been modified seems wasteful in terms of resources. I obviously can't use the instance of File with the data copied once from the stream to keep checking the last modified time, I'd have to keep copying it every time.

Is there a way of getting the last modified time using a URI? Or to get the actual file/absolute path using Intent? I have found some very complicated ways of getting the absolute path from a URI but they seem way too complex and I haven't found anything I'd be willing to use and feel confident it's going to work on different versions of Android.

Instead of going through the pesky ContentResolver manually, you can also use DocumentFile.fromSingleUri(context, uri).lastModified() which uses the same code under the hood.Note: only works from KitKat onwards, as fromSingleUri returns null on earlier Android versions.

I'm working on a calculator app in android studio, and I would the calculator to append the answer to the existing equation, more like a graphing calculator, where it shows the equation then the answer beneath it. My current solution works for the first equation only. I've tried

Ticked answer is wrong. I have multiline TextView but the text has no '\n' or '\r' characters. It is multiline because width isn't enough for whole text. Your problem is you sending getLineCount() as parameter you must send getLineCount() -1 for last line. I am calculating last line width as below:

After last Android app update (i guess to 1.86.0.6) on kid's device a pop-up showed asking whether I want to activate some new setting/feature. First option was to activate it, second to keep current behavior (something with 2-finger swipe gesture???). I chose the first option. Since that time an icon in the edge of the screen is overlaid on the device screen (showing always, overlaying everything, all apps). The icon is shown in screenshot attached (marked in red - bottom left). I want to get rid of that icon because it is disturbing. Please provide me with instruction how to hide the icon. Thanks.

I am trying to run Last Pass on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet SM P580 running Android 8.1.0. When I enable last pass autofill. It works with some of the Android app, but fail to work with Google Chrome Browser. Keep in mind that this used to work but now when I click on an input field, it does not bring up the last pass prompt.

While the concept of a tablet-specific interface didn't last long, many of Honeycomb's ideas laid the groundwork for the Android we know today. The software was the first to use on-screen buttons for Android's main navigational commands; it marked the beginning of the end for the permanent overflow-menu button; and it introduced the concept of a card-like UI with its take on the Recent Apps list.

I also want to support this request. The queue of the episodes is completely different to the one on my phone. It is very hard to get back to my last played episode.

In my case I just subscribed to a podcast with a mere 1000 episodes of about 10min each. On the phone the sorting works as intended on Android Auto I always have to manually scroll all the way down to the oldest episodes to get back to my playback position.

the last notification sensor will relay the last posted notification, a grouped notification is still a notification that exists as 1 item on the status bar. This is the way the sensor has always behaved. We get updated data and send the data, nothing more beyond that.

My automation still triggers off of the last notification sensor so that it only evaluates this mess when a doordash notification is posted (thanks to the allow list on the sensor), but it uses the attributes of the active notification count sensor to get the text, and at least so far, it seems to work. I have not seen any issues with a race condition between the two sensors (yet, anyway), though it might be wise to put a short (1sec?) delay at the top of the actions before you set the message variable using this code.

Thank you for sharing all this. This was the exact issue I was hitting with the last_notification sensor. I agree with you and share your frustrations, the change in behaviour of the sensor when there are multiple notifications from the same app unfortunately make it unreliable to use. You cannot predict whether the state will show the actual last notification information, or whether it will only show the package name if there are multiple notifications from the same app.

I would much prefer to use the last notification sensor since it makes use of an allow list and would only update for specific notifications (better for battery I imagine) than have all notification information data sent on a much more frequent basis.

Do you think this problem is related to the sensor on the device side or the server side? I think the problem is with the device. Because devices sensor shows the last notification data where received a few days ago.

This sensor is only available on the full flavor of the Android app that is found in the Google Play Store, it is not available for the minimal flavor. For android the user will have a different set of states to go by:

This sensor will reflect the last notification posted on the device. This sensor requires a special permission that the app will take the user to so they can grant access to notifications. This sensors state will default to the text of the notification or if not available the posting package name. This sensor offers a setting for an Allow List to let the user select which packages they wish to get notification data from, notifications sent by Home Assistant are always ignored. You need to either create an allow list or enable the setting to "Disable Allow List Requirement". Keep in mind without an allow list this sensor has the potential to drain a lot of battery. We highly recommend creating an allow list over disabling this requirement. This can be very useful to integrate any app that sends a notification but does not offer direct integration (ex: food delivery apps or 2FA SMS codes). There are several attributes a user can expect to see, although not all attributes will contain data. This sensor makes use of the NotificationListenerService API. More details on each attribute can be found in the Notification Extras.


This sensors state will be the date and time of the last reboot from the device in UTC format. The sensor will update during the normal sensor update interval. The state will be unavailable if the timestamp cannot be determined. This sensor uses the SystemClock and current System time to calculate the timestamp. This sensor offers a deadband setting, that defaults to 1 minute, to account for time calculation issues seen over certain carriers.

For android this sensors state will reflect the intent of the most recent update sent. Additionally the sensor offers settings to allow the user to receive app events from other Android apps that broadcast an intent. Users can register for as many intents as they like, an event will be sent to Home Assistant once the intent has been received. Once you save an intent be sure to restart the application to register for the intent.

The state of the sensor will always be the package name of the last used application to ensure it is always a unique value. The label of the application will be an attribute of the sensor, if it is known. This sensor updates during the normal sensor update interval and makes use of UsageStatsManager API.

Android users will only have a sensor.steps entity which will represent the total number of steps taken since the last device reboot. A recommended approach to getting your daily step count is to use the Utility Meter integration with cycle: daily. This sensor will update during the normal sensor update interval and makes use of the Motion Sensor. This sensor requires the Activity Recognition permission.

It's important to note that this is the end of the road for the Galaxy A72 as this is the last major OS update it's about to receive. The handset launched back in March 2021 on Android 11, so a midranger getting three major OS versions throughout its lifespan is pretty respectable. 006ab0faaa
