I have a TabActivity that loads in 3 activity classes.In those Activity classes I have a button and an OnClickListener that tries to open a MapActivity class.I have searched to find an example of an Activity class launching a MapActivity class but cannot find one. If I swap out my MapActivity class with a Activity class it works.

Android :: Launching Activity From Status Bar Creates New Activity / Even When One Already Exists

Nov 9, 2010

I have an activity that starts a long-running service which in turn adds an icon to the status bar. When the activity gets invisible, e.g. by pressing the Home button, and the pressing the icon in the status bar a new activity is created instead of showing the already created activity. If you now press the back button the new activity is destroyed and the activity created in the first place gets visible. How do I make the invisible activity brought to front when pressing the icon in the status bar instead of creating a new activity?

Android :: Handle Existing Instance Root Activity Launching Root Activity From Intent Filter

Apr 3, 2010

I'm having difficulties handling multiple instances of my root (main) activity for my application. My app in question has an intent filter in place to launch my application when opening an email attatchment from the "Email" app. My problem is if I launch my application first through the the android applications screen and then launch my application via opening the Email attachment it creates two instances of my root activity. steps: Launch root activity A, press home Open email attachment, intent filter triggers launches root activity A Is it possible when opening the Email attachment that when the OS tries to launch my application it detects there is already an instance of it running and use that or remove/clear that instance?

Android :: Launching Another Activity From Application

May 22, 2010

I am trying to launch another application from my Activity. Something weird happens when I am running this code :
Intent myIntent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null );
myIntent.addCategory( Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER );
myIntent.setFlags( Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED );
ComponentName compName=new ComponentName(myArray[i][0], myArray[i] [1] );
// String[][] myArray myIntent.setComponent( compName ); startActivity( myIntent );

I have this error :
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class { com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings};
Have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
But when I replace this line
// myArray[i][0] = "com.android.settings" // myArray[i][1] = "com.android.settings.Settings" ComponentName compName=new ComponentName(myArray[i][0], myArray[i] [1] );
with ComponentName compName=new ComponentName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.Settings");
And without any modification in my manifest, it works!

Android :: Launching An Activity From Widget Click

May 19, 2009

I am working my way through oh my first widget (so this is 1.5, obviously) and I'm stuck. I've poked around a problem involving the launch of an Activity when clicking on a widget. Scenario: User drags widget on home screen without prior launch of the Activity in question. I am following this post: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/introducing-home-scree... Instead of launching the browser through ACTION_VIEW, I am trying to launch an Activity by class. I've toyed around with different Intent settings, but no luck.

Android :: Launching Correct Activity On Resume

Jan 22, 2010

I'm currently working with a two-activity application. The first activity allows the user to choose options for their upload, and the second activity displays a ListView of their results once processed.I have code in place that performs the uploads/downloads in the background, regardless of whether the application is currently in focus or not (thanks to Matthias Kaeppler's Droid-Fu).I would like to have my application Resume into my second (results) activity when a user clicks on the icon from the top-level launcher, regardless of how long they have been away from the app. I thought that the 'alwaysRetainTaskState' flag in the Manifest would do it, but I've not had success with that. Can anyone tell me how I need to set up my Manifest to get this functionality?

Android :: Launching Activity From Overlay OnTap

Feb 10, 2009

I am wondering if I am going about this problem the correct way.I am making an app that places overlays on top of google maps.When you click on the overlay it should launch a dialog type window that will give you options on what to do with that overlay.It is the line startActivity where the app throws an exception.I did the setFlags because an error message said it was needed because I was trying to start the Activity while outside an Activity.That makes me think I am going about this wrong.I have 'MyActivity' listed in my manifest so I don't think that is the issue.I have searched for this problem on the internet and I can't seem to find anyone else running into this so that is another reason I think I may be trying to do this the wrong way.

Android :: Launching Intent From Class Outside An Activity

Jul 28, 2010

I've got two activities, one of them is called MyActivity. I want both of them to be able to use a function located in a class othat we may call MyClass. In MyClass, I try to use an intent to launch the activity AnotherActivity. Since the constructor takes a context as parameter, I simply tried to store a context from the activity in the constructor, and then use it when I try to create my intent.However, even thought none of the arguments are null (checked that with a simple if-statement), intent seems to be null and a NullPointerException is thrown. Why does it not work, and what can I do to solve the problem?
I'm quite new to Android and Java development, so please explain it as basic as you can.

Android :: Bug In Activity Stack If Launching From Home Icon?

Jul 24, 2009

I've noticed some strange behaviour with resuming a task from a Home icon.Very easy to replicate, just create a new bare bones android project using eclipse, don't need to add anything. Then follow these steps:

1. In eclipse, Run the project on a emulator or device.

2. Once the app installs and launches the first activity, press Home key.

3. Launch the app again by pressing its icon.

4. Press Back key. Now this part seems wrong, you'll go back to the original activity in the stack, instead of the Home screen, even though its been previously launched and what you expect is it to bring back the stack as it was left, with one activity. If you repeat steps 2-3, it will just keep adding the same activity to the stack.

That is until you press Back all the way through the stack to the Home screen.Now this behaviour will never again replicate. It will be the correct (?) behaviour of bringing back the stack history at the state it was when Home was pressed. Note there are no behavioural modifications, this is just a default application. However, I tried many combinations of launchModes and stack clearing, they had no effect on the first run. Unless I'm interpreting the documentation wrong, when the user presses the Home key, the task is moved in to the background and simply brought back the next time they press the app icon? Why is the app icon altering the task it creates, if it already exists (with no flag modifications)?

Android :: After Killing Task Droid Not Launching Correct Activity / What Is Happening?

Aug 19, 2009

Our application is defined to launch a SplashScreenActivity from Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN categories= {android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} . After the SplashScreenActivity does its work, it launches another intent to launch MainMenuActivity and finish() is called on SplashScreenActivity.

When we run our app for the first time on our phone, the SplashScreenActivity launches OK, and correctly launches the MainMenuActivity.

However, if we kill the app using TaskKiller, LOGCAT indicates that the application has been killed. I can't debug the app, because launching it from eclipse with the debugger makes it work OK, because it reinstalls the app. Perhaps there is a way to launch the app without reinstalling it?

Here is the Log of us killing our app...

When we launch the application again, the LOG messages for SplashScreenActivity are not logged and it looks from LOGCAT that Android is launching the MainMenuActivity instead. Here is the log...

Can someone Romaine, Diane help us understand what is happening? We saw this happening because some variables are initialized in SplashScreenActivity that aren't available with MainMenuActivity and we were getting NPEs.

Android :: Pausing VideoView When Launching A New Intent / Resume It To Starts Up Activity Again?

Jul 23, 2009

I have an activity that is showing a video and when the user clicks a button, a new activity is launched. When the video activity stops, I pause the video view. When the video activity starts up again, I try to resume the video view videoView.start(), however, the video starts over from the beginning. I'm thinking that the buffer must be lost somewhere, so I now try to capture the current position via videoView.getCurrentPosition(), however, this is always returning 0.

Anybody know how to resume video playback when an activity starts up again?

Android :: MapActivity To Work On 1.5r2?

Jun 17, 2009

I'm having problems getting a MapActivity to work on 1.5r2. As far as I can tell I've done everything I need to do, but what am I missing? The Google Maps key was generated on the Google Maps website using the Debug keystore at the location in my Android setup.

What does "Unable to resolve superclass of Lcom/bgies/truckerphonetest/DirectionActivity;" actually mean? As far as I can tell, the activity is setup properly.... At least it is setup exactly the same way I have other activities setup... with the exception that it's the only activity that has a mapView in it.

I can't run it either on my G1 or the emulator... so I assume it's something I am doing wrong. The project setup does have the Google APIs [Android 1.5], and the AVD for the emulator does show the target as Google APIs when I select it.

From my Android Manifest :

Android :: Add MapActivity To ActivityGroup

Mar 3, 2009

I want to add a MapActivity in an ActivtyGroup. As only single level inheritance is supported, my class can either extend from either MapActivity or ActivityGroup. As far as I know MapActivity is not a part of ActivityGroup. I want an activity to extend MapActivty as well be a part of an ActivityGroup.
