Android :: Android - Accessing Single Database From Multiple Activities In Application

Dec 15, 2009

I have a todo list type application that stores all of the note data in a sqlite3 database. Each activity in the application needs access to the database to edit different parts of the data in real time.

Currently, I have each activity open its own DBManager object (the helper class I created to manage the database). This is causing problems though and I would like a slightly more global access solution so I don't have to keep opening/closing/creating a database.

I'm considering several options, and would like to hear pros and cons of each as well as other suggestions.

Singleton style. Have a wrapper class that returns a reference to the only database manager so any activity that needs it can use it.

Static Manager. Have the manager class be entirely static members and have it open the database on load. Easily accessible by anyone that needs it (which is everyone).

Merger between 1 and 2. I could make a database manager class that initializes the member singleton instance of the database and all of the data manipulation methods were static. Then I wouldn't even need a reference to the singleton to access the database.

Android :: Want Multiple Activities In A Single View

Nov 19, 2010

Were looking into Android for writing a tablet based system. Part of the design is for the system to be as modular as possible. One aspect of this is to display any "STATUS" activities in a side view on the screen. It looks like I can use PackageManager queryIntentActivities() to find the activities that show status information. But, can I display these in a single view all at the same time (via a linear layout)? The activities would be installed in separate apk's (features). Can this be accomplished using ActivityGroup? Is this even allowed in Android? Everything I've read implies that Activities take the whole screen or float on top. This implies only one activity can be active at a time where as the design I'm thinking of uses the activities more like widgets.

Android : Back Button On Emulator When Multiple Activities Are There In Single Tab

Oct 13, 2010

I have created two tabs, say TAB1 and TAB2. For TAB1, i have loaded one Activity, say ActivityOne, into TAB1 as Code...

When we click on that button ActivityOne_One will be launched under same TAB1. In this application i have two problems:
1) If i want to go back to ActivityOne under same TAB1 by using traditional BACK button on emulator it is not working..
2)ActivityOne_One is launching with no animation(like sliding from right to left) effect.

If anyone know about any one of these, give your advice.

Android :: Sharing Sqlite Database Between Multiple Android Activities

Oct 12, 2009

Can two or more Android Activities open an sqlite3 database for write?

I have two Activities that need to insert data into the same sqlite database. When the second Activity calls SQLiteOpenHelper.getWriteableDatabase() an IllegalStateException is thrown with the message "SQLiteDatabase created and never closed".

I've been able to avoid the Exception by making my database object a singleton but I'm thinking there must be a better way.

Android : Multiple SingleTasks Within A Single Application

Jul 1, 2010

I have 2 activities declared as singleTask in my application. The reason for this is, with standard mode, pressing "HOME" in one activity (say A) and launching another (say B), still shows activity A.

However, a new problem arises because of this.

A -> "HOME" -> B (Result : B, Expected Result: B) -> "BACK" -> (Result:A, Expected Result: Home Screen) Any ideas why?

Android :: How Do I Get Multiple Icons To Launch Different Activities In One Application?

Jul 17, 2010

I have an application with two activities and I'd like to be able to have two icons appear in the launcher, each launching the respective activity within the app.Specifically, I want one icon to launch my main app, and another icon to launch my settings activity. Is this possible?This creates two launcher icons, but they both run my main app instead of the second icon running my settings app. I've tried just having the launcher category but then I don't get an icon so it looks like I need the main action as well.Is this the right approach or should I be declaring two applications in the manifest instead?

Android :: Pros - Cons Of Multiple Activities In An App Vs One Activity - Multiple Views

Aug 16, 2010

Are there design guidelines to help decide if an application with multiple views should be designed with multiple activities or just one activity and control the back button itself.

I've tried both. My most complex applications using one activity per screen. However, now that I'm successfully written an app with just one activity and handling the back button myself, I don't see any compelling reason to use multiple activities. The one activity application is much simpler and more straightforward.

What advantages of multiple activities am I missing?

Android :: Accessing Shared Preferences In Services And Non Activities

Sep 23, 2009

I have some shared preferences (user_id, email) that I want to access from services and classes that are not subclassed from Activity. I have been trying to implement this today and keep hitting roadblocks. In particular, when I try to access getSharedPreferences, I get a null pointer exception. My code is posted below. My goal here is to allow read access the shared preferences to objects and (potentially) services that aren't going to be directly exposed to the user.

<snip> public class MyPrefs extends Service {
public static final String PREFS_NAME = "MyPrefs";
private int user_id;
private String user_email;
private String user_password;
private Editor editor = null;
private SharedPreferences settings = null;
public MyPrefs () {
settings = this.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
</snip>
this.getSharedPreferences line causes a null pointer exception.

Android :: Should App's With Multiple Layouts Have Multiple Activities To Handle Each

Jul 1, 2010

I'm planning to develop and app that presents the users with several different screens (of different information).
Was wondering what would be the best way to implement this?

Is it better to have separate XML layouts and an activity to display and allow the user to interact with each screen of data?

OR would handling all of these in the same activity be more efficient (and dynamically load / unload each layout)?

Android :: Manage Multiples Activities Under A Single Tab Of TabActivity?

Jul 8, 2010

In my app, I have 5 tabs which contains activities. In each of them, I have to show differents screens. For example, the main activity of a tab is a listview, and when I click on one of its item, I want to display a second screen with an other listview, that will display an other screen when the user will select an item etc.

So I knew that activities in tabs are not easy to manage, but I really think that I needed this solution. Indeed, each screen must contain a back button, which will return to the previous screen, with the previous state (the same position in the list).

To start new activities inside the tabs, I used the technique described here http://gamma-point.com/content/android-how-have-multiple-activities-under-single-tab-tabactivity

It works mostly well, but I encounter a problem to go back to the previous activities. My solution at the moment consists in starting the previous activity like it's described on this website, but without any flag.

So here are my two real problems:

When I try to go back to the first and main activity of the tab, it seems that a new instance is created, even if I use the flag Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP. So when I do several roundtrips between this activity and the next one, i obtain a StackErrorOverFlow.

Because the activities are accessible from differents activities, I have to memorize the parents activities all the time, by giving them in the intents. It's really heavy when I have a succession of 5 or 6 screens, I have to memorize the grand grand parent if the activity... I really appreciate if I just could call the last Activity started by the localActivityManager.

Android :: Sharing SQLite Database Between Activities

Jun 24, 2010

I'm in the middle of writing myself an app and have run into a problem concerning the use of the same SQLite database within multiple activities.

I have one activity that is used to input and store data and multiple activities that need to then read that data. Within the first activity, it has no problem inputting the data into the database, but when I go to have the other activity read the data, it tells me the database is empty. Obviously I'm doing something wrong in my handling of this shared database.

Right now, I have a DataHelper class that handles everything. In each activity, I create a DataHelper object which then calls the openOrCreateDatabase() method. I then close the database upon exiting the activity. Obviously this isn't the right way to do it.

So, my questions is, what is the correct way to set up an SQLite database in an Android application and then access it in multiple activities?

Android :: Using Single Intent With Multiple Buttons

The intent starts the same activity for all the buttons but will contain different String variables depending on the selection. I am currently using a switch, case methodology for my click listener but keep running into 'duplicate local variable' problems as I try to eliminate code repetition! If anyone could provide a-bit of pseudo-code that would be even better.
