Android : Access A Method Of An Activity Inside TabActivity?
Oct 1, 2010
I would like to access the public method of an Activity run by a TabActivity using: Code...
Basically, what I what is to let the parent Activity call a method in child Activity in order to do something. Is this possible?
I did try this:((TeamHuddleScreenMsgsView)getTabHost().getCurrentTabView().getContext()).refreshModel(); but I'm encountering a ClassCastException. It seems that the getContext() still gives the TabActivity. Any help on how to get the child Activity?

I have attached a menu to my TabActivity, and when a menu item is selected, I would like to do something different based on which view is being currently displayed in the TabHost.
int getCurrentTab() returns me the id of the current tab... but from that int how can I get the instance of the activity running?
I also tried getCurrentView(), getCurrentTabView(), but these return things I can't seem to cast to the class of the current activity.

I have an activity A which uses SharedPreferences to share data with a service S, which is called from within A.Now when I call the stopService() method from A, the onDestroy() method in S is not called immediately.I thought that all the activities and services under a single apk run in just one process. Why then does the jump to onDestroy() not take place immediately instead I can see the output from onDestroy() after the further code in the activity A is executed.

In my program I have a custom view object. Inside the view class is a method called foo. For some reason when I call foo from my activity, it doesn't fire. Here is the code:
XML of the custom view:
<com.company.application.MyView android:id="@+id/my_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
The activity code:
public class Main extends Activity { MyView mView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main);
LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = li.inflate(R.layout.main, null); mView= (MyView) v.findViewById(R.id.my_view);
//A button to fire the method inside foo() Button switchLeft = (Button) findViewById(R.id.switch_left); switchLeft.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { callTest(); } } );
} public void callTest() { Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "clicked left arrow");
mView.foo(); mView.postInvalidate();
} }
Finally here is foo:
public void foo() { mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.temp_canvas); Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "background set");
}
The first log is always written when the button is pressed, but the second log is not because foo never fires. What is the deal here? Upon request, the full view
public class MyView extends View { Drawable mBackground; Context mContext;
public MyView (Context context) { super(context); mContext = context;
mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.leftarrow1);
} public MyView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs); mContext = context;
mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.leftarrow1);
} public void foo() { mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.temp_canvas);
Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "background set"); }
@Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL); // draw a solid blue circle
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE); canvas.drawCircle(20, 20, 15, paint);
// draw a test background mBackground.setBounds(0, 0, 300, 400);
mBackground.draw(canvas); }
}

I wanna put a "List" inside a TabActivity. by google and coder's guide, my work out "direction" is to create a "TabActivity" as MAIN and "ListActivity" then add it in the "TabHost" and turn out code something like (below) and fail:
CODE:.........
I know i may need to spend more time on the BOOK and google for android development, but i also feel that the resource for android is quit scattered and not detail. (i'm a developer of C# for a few years, and it's more easilier to search for information)

I have a TabActivity, each tab holds an activity. At some point I'd like to 'refresh' the tabs. I'd basically like to restart each activity in the tabs. I'm not sure how to do this. Calling:

I have a TabActivity. Each tab points to a sub activity. Works great.
Is there any clever way to refresh one of the activity tabs? I just want to 'restart' the activity in tab #3 for example. Not sure of a good way to do this other than building in refresh support to the activity itself, or clearing ALL the tabs and recreating all of them.

I want to add tabs to the layout of my activity, but I don't want the activity to extend TabActivity. The example in http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html only gave example of subclass of TabActivity.
Is there any way I can make it without extending TabActivity?

I have code which has one activity which passes information to a second activity.
I can use this information to pass to a third activity with additional information from the result of the second activity.
I want to use gestures as a method of going back to a previous activity, but if I go back from the third to the second activity I need the information initially passed from the first to the second activity to still be present.
i.e.
First Acticity
what is Y?
answer y = 5
Second activity
User said Y = 5
what is X?
Third Activity
User said Y = 5
X = 6
Go back to Second activity but maintain the input of
User said Y = 5.
To do this I have used a bundle to pass the information between activities, but I can only access the info in the bundle from within a method within the class started by the intent.
The gesture controls are within another class, so I cannot access the bundle information from within this class as the getIntent command produces a not defined error.
What I need to do is to be able to pass the information from the bundle from the first activity to the gesture class so that I can pass it back when I go back using the gestures.

I even tried flashing a custom rom (Fresh) on the last attempt and it just seems like it is giving me the Sprint stock Rom. Shouldn't the custom Rom look different? Once rooted do I still need to use Unrevoked method to grant superuser access for Apps?

I am trying to execute a {public void} method in Service, from scheduled TimerTask which is periodically executing.This TimerTask periodically checks a condition. If it's true, it calls method via {className}.{methodName};However, as Java requires, the method needs to be {pubic static} method, if I want to use {className} with {.dot}.The problem is this method is for notification using Toast(Android pop-up notification) and Status Bar.But for this to work, the method must not have {static} modifier and resides in Service class.So, basically, I want background Service to evaluate condition from scheduled TimerTask, and execute a method in Service class.Can anyone help me what's the right way to use Service, invoking a method when certain condition is satisfied while looping evaluation?

This doesn't seem like the right behavior. I've tried it with other views inside the FooView hierarchy and findViewById() always returns null.
For the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Currently working on a simple app to allow users to find various things around them. When the activity that shows the Google map is active I can see the GPS icon on the status bar, which is normal. But I need to be able to stop the GPS hardware when my user navigates away from the activity, and switch the GPS back on when the activity is shown.
Is there a simple way to stop GPS when a user navigate away from an activity? I have tried the LocationManager's removeUpdates() but this doesn't actually stop the GPS (the icon is still flashing on the status bar and draining the battery).
What I'm looking for is a simple way to programatically stop the GPS hardware.

I have read the Android UI trick 2 on Android developers, which tells people how to include a layout in another layout file multiple times, and give these included layouts different id. However, the sample here is overwriting the layout id, not the id of the views IN this layout. For example, if the workspace_screen.xml looks like this: And I include it three times in another layout file. Do I end up with three TextViews with id firstText, and another three with secondText? Isn't there an id collision? And how do I find the secondText TextView in the third included layout with findViewById? What should I input in the findViewById method?

I just got my camera preview working for my app, but it is not appearing where I want it to appear, and I'm not sure how to get it there. Instead of using the entire screen for the preview, I would like to put it inside a surfaceview in an activity xml gui. What do I need to change? Here is my code:
public class TakePic extends Activity {
SurfaceView camSurface;
Preview camPreview;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);//hide window title
camPreview = new Preview(this); //create preview
setContentView(R.layout.takepic);
setContentView(camPreview); //set preview as activity content
camSurface = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.camsurface); }

I have a broadcast receiver that needs to notify a service that it has received a text message. The only way to do this (as far as I know) is a static method. But the method that is notified need access to the application's preferences.
Every method I have tried says that it cannot be accessed from a static method. So how do I access preferences from a static method?
