Android :: Android - Modal Dialog With Changelog For App Shown Only First Time After Install
Sep 7, 2010
A lot of Android apps now display a modal dialog with the changelog (text) of the application (what's new in the latest version) the first time after it is installed or updated.
Does any one have example code on:
How to display a nice modal dialog suitable for scrollable text
How to make sure the dialog is only shown once
For 2. I assume SharedPreferences can be used for defining a preference "hasChangeLogBeenShownForVersionX" that is updated after the dialog has been shown. (though there might be a better way

I am new to Android. How do I popup modal dialog? By modal I mean I call something like showModalDialog function and it will not return until the dialog is closed and I can get what button was used to close the dialog.

A button on our screen causes an activity to be shown that has a "dialog" theme. We are having an issue were if you click the button quickly twice in a row, the dialog activity is opened twice.
Typically I would expect that when a new activity is started, the underlying activity is immediately stopped, and thus accepts no further input.
However, since the dialog themed activity does not take over the whole screen, I think the underlying activity is only paused, not stopped and thus the buttons are still accessible.
Which brings me to my question... Is there a way to force the dialog themed activity into a modal state where the user can't click the buttons on the activity below?
I could probably manually accomplish this by disabling everything in onPause, and reenabling it in onResume, but this seems like a lot of work!

I've just changed screen language on by G1. There was no support/bad support for typing polish letters on softkeyboard so I modified LatinIME by adding strings.xml and kbd_qwerty.xml for my lanuage. In android is also support for typing national letters using hardkeyboard. After pressing the key for about second small dialog with available alternative letters pop up. How can i change list of letters shown in this dialog?

I'm looking to create something EXACTLY like TimePickerDialog (look and feel) in Android, but it would be for MINUTES/SECONDS, not HOURS/MINUTES. Therefore AM/PM would not be relevant and would therefore allow MINUTE to be greater than 24 (making the max 59). Is it possible to change the TimePickerDialog instance in any way to reflect this?

How can I create date and time settings dialog in Android? I want:
3 fields - day, hours and minutes
it should look native to the system - that makes writing my own widget quite hard - how to make the plus/minus buttons above/below each field look like the standard buttons that are in TimePickerDialog? I mean even on HTC Sense.

Got up this morning and went ahead with some planned releases to a couple of my apps. When I got into the app detail page on my Market Developer Console, I found a new section: Recent Changes! I pasted my changelog in, published my upgrade, and it's already appearing in the Market. Text in this box appears to just be appended to your description, under a heading of "Recent changes:".

I decided to share the solution i found to the problem of Android not supporting real modal dialogs.The solution was to draw the dialog by myself. :-( Well, at least worked fine, besides the problem that its a bit ugly.

I am trying to put together a modal box with a scrollable list of checkable items and an OK and Cancel button at the bottom for the user to select filters from. It seems the simplest way to do things like this in Android is to reuse API components (widgets, layouts, etc) and the closest one I can find to this looks to be the ListPreference, which basically does exactly what I want (I can even work with storing the data in SharedPreferences). The problem is that I'm not launching this modal box from a PreferenceActivity, but rather will be launching it from either of two activities: a ListActivity and a MapActivity.

I've read on Reto Meier's blog that he doesn't recommend the use of modal "Loading" dialogs in Android applications. Is this a general consensus among developers? If I have a login screen what should I display when the user tries to sign in? Until now, I have used a "Signing in" indeterminate progress dialog. Should I use the application's progress bar? Should I use a Toast? And, in the general case, when should I use dialogs and when not to?

I would like to show a modal progress "wheel" overlay on my view.
The ProgressDialog comes closs, but i do not want the dialog background or border.
I tried setting the background drawable of the dialog window:
CODE:............
But to no avail (i.e. still looks the same as without the ...setBackgroundDrawable code).

By any means, programmatically can I get the install date & time of the already installed apps on the android device. The ApplicationInfo doesn't provide this info. While digging through the /data folder through the DDMS perspective, I saw the installed apk's do contains the Date & time of when it was installed, but the sad part is that this /data folder is not accessible on the device programmatically.

I'm writing an application and would like to have some files extracted from the .apk during _installation_ time, as the files can be quite large and extracting them from the .apk during the first run results in a noticeable slowdown which I would prefer to avoid.
After lots of experimentation, I have found one way to make this work, but I'm unsure about the "long-term" ramifications of this approach, specifically: will this actually work in android-9 and later?
The approach is to name the files I want extracted at installation time as "lib*.so", and place them into the appropriate lib/ABI folder within the apk file, e.g. the .apk contains:
lib/armeabi/libMyLargeFile.dat.so and at installation time this is (nicely) installed as:
$APPDIR/lib/libMyLargeFile.dat.so
My concern is that 'libMyLargeFile.dat.so' is NOT an ELF shared library. This approach only works because PackageManagerService only checks for files matching the `lib/ABI/lib*.so` pattern (which is followed) and does not check the contents of the extracted file.
This approach works for Android 1.6 through Android 2.2. I'm wondering if this will continue to work in the future, or if I need to investigate an alternate mechanism.

Is there any way to determine programmatically the time at which an Android application was installed? I don't see anything in PackageInfo, etc.
--EDIT--
To clarify, App A is installed at Time X. At some later time, Time Y, App B is installed. Is there any way App B can know when App A was installed? The link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2831333/how-to-get-app-install-time-from-android/2920310#2920310 indicates that reading the modify time on the source dir of the App is sufficient. Is this really correct? Why?

I am having a problem about repeating Login dialog (an AlertDialog) and progress dialog, coordinating with http thread. I suppose repetitive Login dialog (if fail, continue) handling should be common and straightforward. I guess my approach must be wrong somewhere. I already spent 2 days on this and am desperate. So please help. User starts the app, the main activity starts.Show a login dialog (generated by the main thread, i.e. from on Create. The main thread then starts a wait_thread, which will wait for http to return data and check the data and decide what to do.After user input username/password and press login, a progress dialog starts.The progress dialog starts an http_thread to talk to the server and get replies. Once done, it will notify the waiting thread.If the user type in the right username password first time, the code works fine.But it always fail for 2nd time Login, i.e. When first login fail(wrong username/ password),the wait_thread will generate 2nd Login dialog to let user repeat the login process. But after user hit the login on this 2nd Login dialog, the system always crashes.

I have a really weird problem, which I am unable to debug so far. thing is. my app needs to download something to work. So in the beginning of the onCreate() method, I check if that something is already downloaded. If not, I pop a dialog up asking the user to download it.My dialog is shown and I am clicking, so aManager.install() is called. I am passing the context because that aManager.install() pops up a ProgressDialog to show downloading progress and spawns a new thread in which everything is downloaded. So obviously before creating my dialog I make a Handler to receive the response from that aManager.install(). And the response MAY vary, because for example the internet connection isn't available (Exception raised and catched and listener called with different code).Now, when that happens (Exception) I would like to call another dialog saying "something went wrong, would you like to retry?" so another call to showDialog(DIALOG_REINSTALL) (this time with another code).thing is the showDialog() gets called (I can verify this by logging) but the dialogs doesn't show up. Instead my application JUST HANGS Does someone have a clue why it's doing this? No exception raised, absolutely nothing from logcat, I can't tell WHERE it's hanging...just see that the method is called and the dialog should be displayed.
