Moderate - Delete Spam Posts

Is there a way to moderate this forum and get rid of these obvious spam posts?
Not really.
The best way would be for the Administrators to remove them. Deleting it post by post just takes too long, I've given up trying to clean that spammer up.
Unfortunately the Adminstrators seem to have left guest posting access on, which is why there's no individual user to block. They need to fix that, and I've asked, but they haven't so far.

Thanks for the effort. It's just a waste that we can't keep the discussion "on topic".

Force redraw of View

hi guys,
i hope this is the correct section in the forum. I have a question concerning to an application some friends and me are developing currently. We have class which extends View.
Now, in regular intervals, this View object (which is a subcomponent in an Activity using Relative Layout) has to be refreshed. The refresh itself is done by mView.postInvalidate in a background thread (lets say, every 300ms). The problem we noticed is, that the postInvalidate() as well as the invalidate() (which we could use if the UI Thread would call it) do NOT force a refresh (thus, calling onDraw(canvas)) immediately! Unfortunately, the view is only updated every 1-3rd second..
Does anyone of you have an idea, how to force an android view, to refresh immediately?
Thanks,
Felix
possibly anddev.org might be a better place?
youre right i think, i posted it also there, thanks!

you are placing this inside a specific _device_ development forum. It are mostly ROM builders (and users) you are going to find here.
Place questions about app-developing in the genera Android dev forums here on XDA, that's where all the app builders / hackers are

[Q] long time reader, first time poster!

Hello hello! Ive been reading up on the forums for about a year now (sorry for the leeching!), but it's my first time posting.
First I'd just like to introduce myself as a proud owner of an xperia play r800i (not yet rooted).
Here are my questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer:
1. Is there a way to show more than 8 apps in the Recent Apps list? (where you long hold the home button). Oh and without the use roms, apps, and other substitutes. Perhaps somewhere in the manifest?
2. Also how does one exclude certain applications and tasks from appearing on the Recent Apps list?
Hopefully I posted this in the right section, couldn't decide between the general section or development section, so apologies if I mis-posted.
You did well. Development section is a section you want to avoid in order to ask questions and so on. Ideally, only people who are bringing something to the table (ROMs, programs, kernels) should start threads there.
That said, there are third party Apps with more recent Apps to show. Launcher Pro allows a swipe function which shows the 16 most recent Apps, but you can't summon them from the Home button easily like the native function.

Forum Issue | Going back to First screen of a Thread

Is there any way if I want to go back to my previous thread of development section after I update my control panel, there it is nothing allowing me to go back. what I did was to type google query *xda developer sony xperia arcs* then I go to development section. Moderator can you look into the issue.

My screen died

So my display died today. I wasn't able to backup my stuff before so I would like to somehow recover it.
The touch functions still seem to work as I can activate gesture based functions like the flashlight and start stop music.
The phone was rooted, running stock OxygenOS, and USB Debugging enabled. Any way I can perhaps use some program to access the screen from a PC?
Also, can someone post a screenshot of the MTP selection menu (the one that pops up when you plug it into a PC).
