Android : Get Co-ordinates Of A Touch Event On Droid?
May 30, 2010I'm new to Android, I've followed the hello world tutorial through and have a basic idea of what's going on. I'm particularly interested in the touch screen of my T-Mobile Pulse so just to get me started I want to be able to write the co-ordinates of a tocuh event on the screen, so say the user touched the co-ordinate 5,2 - a textview on the screen would display that.
At present I have a simple program that just loads an xml file which contains the textview I intend to write the co-ordinates in.
Thank you in advance, I did Google for help and searched stackoverflow but everything I found either went way over my head or wasn't suitable for this.

Samsung Captivate :: Touch Screen Compared To HTC's Touch Screen?
Jul 17, 2010Just a quick question about the Captivate. I just got myself an HTC Aria and I love how easy it is to use the touch screen on it. Its extremely responsive. Now my sister has the SamSung Instinct on Sprint and the touch screen is horrible compared to HTCs touch on the Aria. Im thinking about taking the HTC back to AT&T and getting the Samsung Captivate. I am just worried about the touch screen on it and if it will be like the Instincts? If the touch is as good as HTCs Ill get it. If its not, then Ill stick with the Aria because despite its size, its an extremely fun and responsive phone. Any thoughts?

View 8 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Why Use Service For Background Tasks?
Nov 2, 2010An activity can use AsyncTask or Handler framework for background work. Both will continue to work even after user has moved away from the activity that started them and the onDestroy for the activity has been called. In other words, an activity is fully capable of doing background work even after its GUI has been shutdown.In this scenario, use of Service for background work seems like redundancy. What does Service bring to the table that an activity can not do?

Oct 22, 2010I have an app which runs as a background service only. I'l like it to start up when its installed. As its just a background service it doesnt show up on the pane of installed apps. So there is no way for the user to manually start it. I've already regietered for the BOOT_COMPLETED intent which works but I dont want the user to have to power off the phone after the app has been installed, just so as they can start it.
I've looked at the following intents: ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED/CHANGED/ REPLACED/RESTARTED/INSTALL, ACTION_SCREEN_ON/OFF, ACTION_USER_PRESENT, ACTION_TIME_TICK,
But it doesnt seem that you can register to listen for them from my manifest.
How I can start my background service without a power off/on?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Background Service - Intents For Communication Between UI
Jul 6, 2009I'm writing an application that consists of a background Service and one or several Activities acting as UI towards this. There will most likely be several different UIs for this service that will installed later on, like custom widgets or UIs. The question is how to solve this in the most efficient way. Is it better to only use Intents for communication between UI and Service (sending control commands with Intents from the UI and listening for Intents from the Service for state and data updates) or should I prefer using IPC communication (AIDL -> Java Stub, binding to the service etc.)?
Since the UI might be started long after the service is started, I would either need to use sticky intents to signal current state, or have a very frequent intent sent by the service if choose to go with the Intent-based design. Which one would be the preferred way in that case? I've read that sticky intents are much more resource consuming than normal intents, but are intents more consuming than IPC directly towards the service? Also, is really an AIDL the right way to allow third-party integration? Intents sounds better, since they are also asynchronous.
