Android : How Does Froyo Display A Dialog Atop Home Screen?

Jul 2, 2010

I upgraded my Nexus One a few days ago with 2.2 (Froyo). This morning when I went to use it I saw a Dialog sitting atop the home/launcher screen notifying me that an update was available and that I could choose to upgrade now or later. My question is, what API mechanisms is this using to show a Dialog (perhaps an AlertDialog) atop the home screen? Having written an Android app, it was my understanding that Dialogs could only be shown atop an Activity, and that a Service cannot show a Dialog (only a Toast).

General :: How To Display Area Name On Home Screen

Apr 6, 2012

The old symbian phone displays the area/location on home screen, even if the GPS/GPRS is not activated. This is provided by the network operator. I am missing the same in my Android phone.

Even My Location option does not display the area/location on homescreen, it displays only the Network operator name.

I tried looking for apps, but all are for displaying the operator's name but not location. I can check my location using any GPS application, but those does not display it on my home screen along with Operators name. I want it similar to my Nokia N81 where the operator name and area name are displayed.

HTC EVO 4G :: Frequent Loading Home Screen Since Froyo?

Aug 5, 2010

Not sure if anyone else is getting this, but every once in awhile when I try to go back to the home screens the HTC logo comes up and a "Loading" window comes up for a little while before I can access the home screens. Anyone know what could be causing this? This never happened before froyo. At first I thought it might be from widgets that I have saved to SD but I don't have any apps with widgets saved to SD (I don't think). Ideas?

Samsung Galaxy S :: Missed Calls Jigsaw Display On Home Screen

Aug 11, 2010

Noticed yesterday that on the homescreen when the phone was locked that a missed call and voicemail notification appeared as pieces removed from a jigsaw overlay of the background homescreen image. Hadn't seen that before. Is that a default thing or can I change it (did look rather cool though). I usually use the pattern lock rather than the default swipe lock, so I'm wondering if it's to do with that default setting.

Android :: Dialog Display Duration

Apr 19, 2010

I need to display an alert message for no more than a half a second. As I understand it, Toast only has 2 available durations, with no way to alter them. Correct me if I'm wrong. Which leads me to sing the AlertDialog. What would be the best way of displaying a dialog for 500ms and then dismissing it?

Android :: Display Dialog From Notification?

Mar 2, 2010

I have a situation where I have a broadcast receiver which creates a notification and the notification, when selected, sends the application to a new Activity with a yes/no AlertDialog. I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to show an AlertDialog (from the notification) without sending the user to a new Activity? (This way the user can click No and resume working in any other application)

2. A ListActivity already exists in this application. If the user clicks yes the user should be send to this existing Activity. Currently I'm dong this from a new activity in the application using: startActivity(new Intent(this,MSPMain.class)); I believe this is making a new instance of the Activity rather than simply showing the existing Activity. Is there a way to show the existing Activity without making starting a new one?

Android :: Layout - Webview To Display As A Dialog

Nov 5, 2009

I have a webview I'd like to display as a dialog. I'd like the webview to fill the entire screen, except for a button below it that I'd like to stay at the bottom of the dialog regardless of how much content is in the webview. Currently my webview fills up the dialog just enough to push the button off the screen. I'm sure this is something pretty easy but for the life of me, I haven't been able to find the magical combination of layouts, views and attribute values to get it to play nice. Just to be clear, I've gotten it so the button floats over the webview but I'd like the webview to stop just above the button and scroll, if that makes sense.

Android :: Display Droid Dialog Out Of Application?

Sep 7, 2010

I have an application that is designed to pop up a question when a phone call ends using a BroadcastReceiver and a PhoneStateListener.

My problem is, when a call is received while the user is not currently using my application, the dialog is not displayed until the application is manually started. I would like either for the dialog to be displayed on top of what ever context the user is currently in, or that my application will be focused.

How is this done?

Android :: Alert Dialog With Custom Layout Failing / Get This To Display?

May 1, 2010

So this is related to a question I asked earlier. I am trying to display an alert using a specified layout. My layout is:

And the code to call and show the alert dialog is..

When I run it I get an error saying:

Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception
android.view.WindowManager$NadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application

I've looked through the android development site and can't figure it out. I think I'm just missing something obvious but the fix isn't jumping out at me. How can I get this alert dialog to display?

Android :: Display A Dialog Box For Making A Choice Before A CALL Is Processed In Droid?

May 30, 2010

I would like to intercept outgoing calls and pass them to a VOIP application. I see that the Google Voice application has a feature for displaying a question before each call is actually initiated. It provides the user with the choice:

Initiate call via Google Voice
Initiate call via standard call

I would like a way to do something similar with my application (so that not all calls have to be routed through it). At the moment, I can intercept CALL events via a BroadcastReceiver, however, these are not allowed to open dialogs (thus making it possible to display the choice).

What is the best way of achieving this goal?

Android :: Using Any App And Press Home Button Home Screen Blacks Out - 10 Sec Delay Get All Icons Back

Mar 30, 2010

Whenever I am using any app and press the home button, the home screen blacks out for a few secs and it takes around 10 sec to get all the icons back and before I can start using my phone again. I am using a non rooted mytouch 3g.

This problem does not happen if I exit an app by pressing the back button. It becomes very annoying at times.
