I've been trying to show a "Do you want to exit?", type dialog when user attempts to exit an activity. However can't find the appropriate API hooks. Activity.onUserLeaveHint() initially looked promising, but I can't find a way to stop the activity finishing.

I am developing a utility and facing an issue. The following describes what i intend to achieve: User will click on "Submit"Button. User will be prompted a confirm dialog box. On "No" , it will return. "Yes" click will take it to a method which does some processing. As processing can take sometime, i want to show loading bar after user clicks "Yes" in confirm dialog box. However, When i click "Yes"; the dialog box remains there and i can't see th progress bar.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhat puzzle me so much is that i can't destroy a GLSurfaceView while i don't want to exit the activity.
the fact is when i destroy a GLSurfaceView which had show in the screen (that means it has binded to the activity's SurfaceHolder), the activity exits without any prompting. Perhaps ,the Context which provided in the Construction of GLSurfaceView joins the two things together. so my conclusion is that a GLSurfaceView can only be destroyed when exit the activity. is there anyway to destroy a GLSurfaceView without exit activity? is there someone can provide a clue?
I've been using System.exit to quit the application. Is Activity.finish a better approach? What would be the differences?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have requirement that needs to save data to a file. During multiple Activitiy screens, I add different data to a list and finally when user is not using the app (means if user exits app by pressing "home" button or "call" button), just before exiting that app, i want to save that data of the list to a file.
coding before exiting activity screen is simple - by calling onDestory () method, but here I want not one activity but the application exit.
So my question is How do I write a code that will be executed just before application exits ? I tried created one class extends Application, and then I override onTerminate() method, but it's not get called when I exit ( pressing home button on device)
I'm having this strange issue where upon exiting a subactivity that is translucent (android:theme="@android: style/Theme.Translucent" ) the onStop() method doesn't appear to be called. have a TimerTask that runs and is supposed to be terminated when the subactivity ends in the onStop() method, but I'm instead left with an orphaned thread running in the background. It go particularly bad when I ran the subactivity several times. When I revert to no theme, the onStop() method is called and the activity behaves properly. Is there something I missed about how Translucent activities'lifecycles differ from standard activities?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat I am trying to do is emulating the "Home" button which takes one back to Android's homescreen. So here is what causes me problems: I have 3 launcher activities. The first one (which is connected to the homescreen icon) is just a (password protected) configuration activity. It will not be used by the user (just admin) One of the other 2 (both accessed via an app widget) is a questionnaire app. I'm allowing to jump back between questions via the Back button or a GUI back button as well. When the questionnaire is finished I sum up the answers given and provide a "Finish" button which should take the user back to the home screen.
For the questionnaire app I use a single activity (called ItemActivity) which calls itself (is that recursion as well when using intents?) to jump from one question to another:
Questionnaire.serializeToXML();
Intent i = new Intent().setClass(c, ItemActivity.class);
if(Questionnaire.instance.getCurrentItemNo() == Questionnaire.instance.getAmountOfItems()) {
Questionnaire.instance.setCompleted(true);
} else Questionnaire.instance.nextItem();
startActivity(i);
The final screen shows something like "Thank you for participating" as well as the formerly described button which should take one back to the homescreen. But I don't really get how to exit the Activity properly. I've e.g. used this.finish(); but this strangely brings up the "Thank you" screen again. So how can I just exit by jumping back to the homescreen?
I have faced with issue about startActivityForResult() and onActivityResult(). If child activity started by the startActivityForResult() exit by unexpected exception the onActivityResult() is not called and I have no any ideas how can I handle this to get application working in a fail-safe manner ?
When my code runs child activity with startActivityForResult() it awaits until onActivityResult() will be invoked to get working further, but onActivityResult() is not calling and my code is "hang- up" (logically).
So the question is how can I handle all possible ways the child activity is finished (normally and by unexpected exception) to get fail-safe code ?
I have check the documentation for this issue but have found nothing relating issue.
I'm trying to learn AsyncTask and Thread but Thread first. I am trying to display a Dialog before "DoSomeTask()" but seems like the Dialog always come after DoSomeTask(). Did I do something wrong here?

This appears on top of an activity with an 'Done' button, however when the edittext is selected and the soft keyboard appears, the keyboard obscures the Done button at the bottom of the dialog.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am writing an app that requires the user's current location (lastknownlocation won't be very helpful) and displays a list of all the closest "items" to them taken from the database.I have got the finding of the closest items working well but only using a hardcoded latitude and longitude location for the time being but now it is time to implement finding the actual location.Can anyone provide an example of how to have the app find the current fine location in the background and have the app wait. I only need the location once not updates as the person moves. I have implemented a location listener however I understand getting a GPS fix can be slow. I have seen other examples using last known location or implementing the location listener which continues to run and update however as my Activity needs the location coordinates before it can display anything the app just crashes. I need to show a Progress Dialog while its searching.
How can I have the locationlistener run once in the background and then remove location updates once it finds the location. I need the rest of the application to wait until it has a GPS location or timeout after say 20-30seconds. I would like a ProgressDialog up so the user knows that something is going on, but it just has to be the spinning loading animation not a percentage or anything. If possible I would like the user to be able to cancel the dialog if they are sick of waiting which then they can search by typing suburb etc instead.I have been trying to do it with threads but it is getting way more complicated than I feel it should be and still not working anyway. On iPhone this is much more simple?Can anyone provide a nice way of doing this, I have been ripping my hair out for a week on this and it is really putting me behind schedule for the rest of the app completion date.
