iCalendar implementation on android? - java

I want to hook up an application to work with the iCalendar format for calendering. Is there native support in the Android SDK for this? If not, is there an open source library anyone is familiar with?
Thanks

There is ical4j to parse ics file in java. see https://ical4j.github.io/ (or google it if they move again and the link is no longer valid)
As far as I know there is nothing to prevent it from working with android

How to get access to computer files for development through Android Emulator

My problem is that I'm using parse.com to upload files, and I can't simply create a java project to do so, because it requires an Android context:
Parse.initialize(this, "", "");
I was wondering if there was a work around to access my computer's files through an Android emulator. I know the ACTUAL app technically wouldn't have any idea of my files, but the emulator is still running on my computer. Or is the emulator completely independent to near-perfectly imitate the real thing, and basically this would be impossible?
If the answer is no, what can I do aside from getting a phone and putting the files onto the phone?
You can use the Parse.com REST API to upload from anywhere.
The Parse API for Android is just a wrapper for this REST API.
There are also some existing Pure Java wrappers for the REST API by third parties. See the Java section of the Parse API Library page. Almonds in particular looks to give you what you want.

NFC Receive NDEF tags from Android 2.3.3

I have been developing an Android application which sends NDEF messages via Android Beam and a desktop application which receives them.
Everything works as expected; however, I personally believe that the Android Beam "Tab to beam"-screen is too circumstantial. I know it is not possible to suppress the "Beam-Screen".
I wan´t to create an application, which is able to receive simple NDEF tags from my Android mobile (sent with NfcAdapter.enableForegroundNdefPush() ).
could anyone give me some clues to achieve that? is there a package i could use? i tried to use .net but there is no API for it. I would prefer java.
Hardware: 4.0.4 Android. ACR122 nfc reder/writer.
Any suggestions would help me.
Thanks in advance

To answer my own question:

That worked for me! it is not realy stable but it works....
I created a GUI and fused the two main classes. I am able to send and receive with one application now.
Beware! ics (ice cream sandwich) has problems with recognizing simple NDEF actions. I used 2.3.3.

If you want to use NFC with Android 4.0.x you should use Android Beam (from google) it was a lot easier to implement.

how to convert j2me running lwuit to android?

How can i convert a J2ME application which is using lwuit library to an android apk ?
I tried to convert using mircoemulator but when I start the application it shows error and exits.
Read this article, LWUIT for Android. Here clearly telling about How to do LWUIT with Android. Follow the stpes carefully and change the your MIDlet code. Just checkout the LWUIT-Incubator repository and use this for android development with LWUIT. Also read the README_Android.txt on this repository.
There's no way to make a direct conversion. Strictly speaking, you can make a port, adapting the code, or use some emulator or wrapper to run the CLDC/MIPD classes.
The guys in Opera also used MicroEmulator for OperaMini.

How to select a file on Mobile MIDP using J2ME?

I want to select a file on mobile using J2ME but I don't know way to do it. Help me, please !
You have to use FileConnection(JSR-75) for this. See this links for your reference.
How to Access Local File Systems from J2ME devices using FileConnection API
File Connection Using J2ME api JSR 75
If what you're looking for is a file selection UI component, I'm afraid this does not exist by default in J2ME, and you'll have to create your own.
Such a component is planned for MIDP3, however good luck finding any devices which support it!

extract and show album art of mp3 file in android

I'm trying to implement a small mp3 player on android. So far so good, but I cant implement the following feature:
When playback of the file starts, check the file, get the artwork and display it.
(the artwork is embedded)
I've seen several libraries which claim to be capable of doing so, but I did not manage to implement it. (jaudiotagger, jid3)
Did somebody ever implement this and can show me some code?
Thank, Nico
Android doesn't support the standard ImageIO libraries which is why this part of jaudiotagger doesnt work with Android, there is an outstanding issue on jaudiotagger to resolve this issue for android.
