Android :: Orientation Change - Dialog Above Activity With Fixed Orientation
May 14, 2009I have created an activity for my game which handles all orientation changes by itself and has a fixed "portrait" layout. Actually it uses the accelerometer and is rendered using 2D canvas methods. If the level has been completed I show up a highscore dialog in which the user can enter his name. The dialog is floating above the underlying level screen which gets blurred out nicely. This generally works.
Problem is that the dialog does not get rotated if the orientation of the phone changes. So even if the keyboard is exposed the dialog is shown in portrait mode instead of landscape. I have tried to use an activity with dialog theme instead but the behavior didn't change. After several tries it seems that I have found the reason for this: Once there's an activity with fixed orientation in the activity stack then all subsequent activities keep this orientation, too. They will not react on orientation changes anymore (e.g. if the keyboard gets exposed).
After upgrading to 1.5 SDK the described behavior changed a little bit. Now at subactivities indead react on orientation changes like expected. However, the need to have an opaque background! That means that neither dialogs nor activities with dialog theme will work. Those will stick with the orientation of the underlaying activity. So my workaround is to first start a sub-activity with an opaque black background. This activity then shows my highscore dialog on top. It looks quite okay but I wonder if there's a better solution? Is it possible to show a dialog above a fixed portrait or landscape activity which automatically adapts to orientation changes?
Android :: Possible Leak In Orientation Change
Jul 1, 2009My app *sometimes* when orientation change, leaks Activities (getInstanceCount() increases from time to time) and i cannot figure out where references to my Activity or rather Context are kept - tried to use jhat but it couldn't help me much.
what is strange: it doesn't always happen on orientation change, so its even harder to fix.
btw when doing normal app life cycle - start, do something, exit - everything is ok - getInstanceCount() always returns 1.
Android :: Dialog Is Leaked On Orientation Change
Jun 23, 2010built a simple app that displays an alertDialog with two buttons.The problem is it's not getting dismissed when i change orientation. After change i get a leak warning on debugger and the dialog appears twice(pressing back hides the first dialog, only a second back dismisses it completely).
View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: What's Best Way To Handle An Task Progress Dialog On Orientation Change?
May 27, 2009I have an app that communicates with a server.While it is communicating, it shows a progress dialog.The way this actually works is that I have a class that I call my Network Gateway.Each method takes a Handler as a callback so that the gateway can send back the response as a bundle when it has finished. Right now when someone changes orientation while a network operation is occuring, the activity doesn't know that a thread is running the network code and then the callback might be invalid.What's the right way to do this? I want to make it so that after the orientation switch, the activity can check something to see if a network operation is running and if so, display the progress dialog again and wait for the callback, or set itself as the callback handler now, invalidating the old one.My first guess is that this is exactly the kind of thing services were designed for, but I'd like specifics if anyone can supply them.

Sep 29, 2010I download some data from internet in background thread (I use AsyncTask) and display a progress dialog while downlaoding. Orientation changes, Activity is restarted and then my AsyncTask is completed.I want to dismiss the progess dialog and start a new Activity. But calling dismissDialog sometimes throws an exception (probably because the Activity was destroyed and new Activity hasn't been started yet).What is the best way to handle this kind of problem (updating UI from background thread that works even if user changes orientation)? Did someone from Google provide some "official solution"?

Jul 10, 2009My program does some network activity in a background thread. Before starting, it pops up a progress dialog. The dialog is dismissed on the handler.This all works fine, except when screen orientation changes while the dialog is up (and the background thread is going). At this point the app either crashes, or deadlocks, or gets into a weird stage where the app does not work at all until all the threads have been killed.How can I handle the screen orientation change gracefully?

Android :: How To Set Dialog Orientation?
Jul 28, 2009My underlying actitvity is set to landscape orientation, but when I show the dialog, I'd like it to be in portrait (vertical) orientation.I set the orientation in my layout to be vertical but that didn't help. The Dialog class doesn't have a method for such a thing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Progress Dialog And Orientation Changed
Jul 28, 2010I'm facing some problems with the progress dialogs. I use a managed progress dialog to show the user that an operation is being carried out with the following code written in the onCreateDialog(int id) function.When the operation completes I call dismissDialog(PROGRESS_DIALOG). The problem is that if I rotate the phone while the progress dialog is displayed then when the operation completes the dismiss call has no effect and the progress remains showing. And this I cannot understand why.

Android :: Change Intent Bundle Data Before Activity Recreated After Orientation Change
Jul 30, 2009I have a notification that starts my activity and passes a messages using the intent's putExtra() function. The message is then displayed to the user in the activity's onCreate function. When the application is restarted due to a orientation change, the message is shown again as it is still in the intent's bundled data.
How can I remove the extra data?
I tried the following:
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle.getBoolean("showMessage")) {
// ... show message that is in bundle.getString("message")
// remove message
bundle.remove("showMessage");
}
But the message will still be shown after the orientation changed, seems like the intent used is not the one I changed, but the original one. The only workaround I found is to save the showMessage additionally in onSaveInstanceState(). Is there another way? Or is this the way to go?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Android Custom View Bitmap Memory Leak
Nov 16, 2010I've got a custom view in which I need to draw two bitmaps, one is a background, representing the image of a map and one is a pin which will be drawn on top/left position in canvas.
The both images are drawn onDraw and remain the same during the live of the activity that contains the view. After a while I get a OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds
VM budget
This means that I have a leak and the bitmaps don't get garbage collected. I asked this question before, but now the situation changed a little. I made a init method where I set the bitmaps I want to use but this still isn't a good approach, the error appears later, but still there.
Here is the code:
public class MyMapView extends View
private int xPos = 0;
private int yPos = 0;
private int space = 0;
private Bitmap resizedBitmap;
private Bitmap position;
private Bitmap mapBitmap;
public void destroy()
resizedBitmap.recycle();
resizedBitmap=null;
position.recycle();
position=null;
mapBitmap.recycle();
mapBitmap=null;
I call the setMapBitmap() and init() on onCreate of the activity that contains the view. In there I know what bitmap will be used as map. onPause of the activity I call the destroy() of the view. I still get errors.
I've read this this but I don't know how to adapt it on my case
I AM OPEN TO ANY OTHER SOLUTION. Please note that I need to resize the map bitmap (based on the height of the layout that contains it in mai activity) and still be able to draw the position on correct place.
Android :: How To Dismiss Custom Dialog?
May 13, 2010I'm trying to make a custom dialog to show a view in this dialog. This is the Builder code:
//Getting the layout LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_dialog_simple,(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.rlDialogSimple));
//Change Text and on click
TextView tvDialogSimple = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.tvDialogSimple);
tvDialogSimple.setText(R.string.avisoComprobar);
Button btDialogSimple = (Button) layout.findViewById(R.id.btDialogSimple);
btDialogSimple.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
//Do some stuff
//Here I want to close the dialog
} } );
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(AcPanelEditor.this);
builder.setView(layout);
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
So, I want to dismiss the dialog in the onClick of btDialogSimple. How I can do it? I don't know how to call the dismiss method from inside a onclicklistener. My buttons have a custom layout, so I don't want to make a builder.setPositiveButton.
Android :: Set Spinner Within Custom Dialog
Sep 9, 2010I'm getting a NullPointerException while attempting to create a Spinner within a dialog and can't seem to debug it because the code looks solid. Wonder if anyone else has any idea. Any help is greatly appreciated.
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) { Dialog dialog;
switch(id) { case DIALOG_SEND_PM: Spinner spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.pm_server);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.server_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
dialog = new Dialog(PM.this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.send_pm_dialog);
dialog.setTitle(R.string.send_pm);
pmMessage = (EditText) dialog.findViewById(R.id.send_pm_box);
Button sendPm = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.send_pm_button);
sendPm.setOnClickListener(PM.this);
break;
default: dialog = null;
}
I get the exception at adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
I changed the context to MyClass.this and the exception moved down to the next line, which confuses me. I'm wondering if it is the adapter having a null value but I call everything the same way I have before while not in a dialog.
Relevant XML data:
<LinearLayout> <TextView/> <LinearLayout> <TextView/>
<EditText/> <TextView/> <Spinner
android:id="@+id/pm_server"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/yblueborder"
android:textColor="#ABABAB"/>
</LinearLayout> <Button/> </LinearLayout>
Android :: Custom Dialog Example May Be Incorrect
Nov 21, 2009I spent quite a long time trying to get my first custom dialog box to work, following the example in the Android Dev Guide.
Specifically:
CODE:............
I kept getting a badtokenexception whenever I tried to show the dialog.
Eventually I found a forum posting which suggested changing it to:
new Dialog(this);
Which made the problem go away.
My question is if the example is incorrect, or was the code not intended to be used in an Activity method?
