Android :: 'Home' App Crashes - What To Do / Can I Reboot Only
Mar 11, 2009
I should post this as a follow-up to my previous thread.
But I think this problem (may be) somewhat big so I create a new thread:
1. If a user install an alternative to 'Home'. (I'll call it 2nd Home)
2. He set this 2nd Home to launch by default for 'Home' action.
3. Whenever this 2nd Home crashes, their only choice is to reboot the system... ?
Because, after setting 2nd Home as default, the 'chooser' will not come out any more even if you press the 'Home' button.
In some case if this 2nd Home crashes in its initialization state, user can go no where, can't even go to Settings -> Manage App -> Clear Defaults
Am I missing something?

I have an HTC Hero, rooted, latest Cyanogen with LauncherPro Plus. But I don't know if it's a rooted issue so I posted here. Sometimes scrolling slows to a crawl, sometimes it takes a minute to go back to the home screen, LauncherPro crashes a lot, the lock screen takes a few seconds to unlock. Other times all of that zips through. It's maddening About 24 megs of free storage on phone. What could it be? And the phone reboots a lot on its own also.

I rooted to BB 0.4 and I am using ROM Manager. Tried to boot to recovery using Power X and would never reboot stayed on M screen. Then I looked at ROM Manager and it mentioned "Reboot into Recovery" so I tried that - notta. Just went into hang mode and then eventually did a normal reboot to home screen. Am I missing something here?

I'm trying to understand remote services at the moment and everything works fine, i can start the service and know how to communicate with it through the AIDL-interface. My problem is that the service seems to still run in the same process like the activity it was started from, because the activity crashes too, if there is an error thrown in the Service.
I set the service process to remote ( android:process=":remote" ) so what am i doing wrong? Or what do i have to do to unbind the service-process completely from the activity-process?

I just got a new battery for my Droid, and the battery came 60% charged. So I did the battery drain until it powered off. I then put it on the dock to do a full charge, and now the phone is in a constant boot loop. It reboots up to the home screen and mounts the SD card. It stays on for about 5 seconds after mounting the card, and then reboots. I tried just plugging it into the charger w/o the dock, and still does the same thing. I have also tried pulling the battery, putting it back in and charge. Same. I have even tried doing a power down from the home screen within the 5-10 seconds the home screen stays on, but no luck. It turns off before it completes the shutdown and reboots again.

On the car dock the "Car Home" was default to the home key on the Droid. If I backed out of Car Home to get to an app or something, I would just touch the Home key and it would get me back to car home.

I've been using:
Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND
for quite some time with great success. When I replace that with:
Notification.DEFAULT_ALL
the program crashes when the notification is called.

I'm trying to create an application that has 3 tabs. Under the middle tab should be a ListView. It starts up fine (on the left tab) but when I click the middle tab it crashes.
The other two tabs are static data specified in the main.xml file. But the middle tab, I try to create dynamically. Here's the code from the main onCreate function:
CODE:...............
Instead I appear to get an exception:
CODE:...............
ContactListActivity is defined this way:
public class ContactListActivity extends ListActivity { ...
I get the feeling that I'm supposed to create the Intent with something like Intent.ACTION_VIEW but this is where I get lost. If this is the problem, I could try stuff until it works, but I'd prefer to understand why.
Or is ContactListActivity supposed to override something ?

I'm getting fairly regular crashes using WebView's in the underlying C code (sigsegv's). There isn't a _whole_ lot of rhyme or reason to it, but one thing that is somewhat suspicious is that I have more than one webview active (only one is one the screen at any one time, but if this has anything to do with my problem it may not matter since it appears that webkit widgets run asynchronously from the main UI thread).
Here's the stack dump. I've looked through the archives and it appears that there are other dumps, but it's really hard to tell from my vantagepoint whether they have anything to do with one another.
This is pretty easily reproducible (especially with one particular url of mine) so it should be relatively easy to track down.

I just created my own "Home" to replace the stock android one or Sense.
All is working fine and I get all I want. My only problem is to replace to long press on home key ( that usually show the last 6 activities you launched) by my own launcher.
I successfully replace the long press on MENU button with this code:
CODE:..........
and this part part for the long press:
CODE:.............
But the problem is that I wasn't able to replace the KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU with KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME
Is that something locked in the code that avoid user to use a Home long press?

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.

I have separated java code from Android code and have two projects. Android dependent on Java project. Now i want to get the memory trace of the Java project on Android. For that I have created Androd Junit Project implementing Android Instrumentation, and a dummy android project dependent on my actual java project.(as I only want to get memory trace of java project on android).Problem is when I execute Android Junit project, and give a reference of dummy project removing java project dependency, all tests(dummy) run fine.But when I run junit project, with dummy android proj keeping dependency on java project, my application crashes.I get an error message like : "Process crash" not getting any error message in logcat. No clue whats wrong with code.Any help is highly needed.

In my application I've implemented such that pressing the hardware volume keys displays a Toast with the current volume. Things go well most of the times. However long presses of the volume keys do succeed in crashing my application. The Log generated on crash is the following...
The approach I follow:
I have a toast Object and for every key press event detected I inflate a view ,set the view elements within, set it to the toast and then show the toast.
Any idea what is going wrong ? code...

I'm having a bit of trouble with an Android app that I'm working on (mostly for practice and learning purposes) that uses the AudioManager object.
When defining the AudioManager as follows, however, the app crashes when I run it:
CODE:................
When I simply comment out the AudioManager declaration, the app does not crash. Any ideas as far as what I'm doing wrong? I'm a bit of a beginner to Android development, so I have a feeling that I'm missing something obvious.
I've also tried adding the android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS and android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml file, but that has made no difference.

Is there any way to catch crashes in my own android app? Something like a global uncaught exception handler? Just wondering if I could install something like that, then if an uncaught exception is thrown, I could pop up a dialog for the user and ask if they want to mail a dump of the exception to me.
