Android :: App Widget Configure Activity Opens Main Activity
Jan 10, 2010
I hav an app that is like a relational database. There is a main app activity that users manage things with. There is also a widget that will display important info and add data to the database. When the widget is clicked, a configure class displays a way for the user to edit data. When the configure activity is done, the widget is updated and instead of going back to the home screen, the apps main activity is started. I can't find where the main activity is being called from. Wouldn't I have to create an intent and start Activity() to get this behavior? When done updating, I want the home screen and not my app.

in HTC Sense, we can choose widgets of different size after tapping a single entry in the widget list. Is this also possible in pure Android Framework? I have tried to modify the widget's size in the configure Activity, but failed.

I'm writing a widget where i first have a configure screen where the user makes a selection. Then I want to pass that data on to the actual widget. This must be really simple but I just can find out how to do it.

I have a widget that is supposed to start and stop a service (start it when it's not running, stop it when it is). This is working fine, however, each time the service is started, my app's main activity is also launched, which I don't want from the app's manifest, it works as I want it to (without launching the main-activity, just the service), but then I obviously don't have a main activity anymore.This is how I start the service (I would assume this is the normal way, and I can't see any reference to what might cause the MAIN intent to fire).

Im writing a program that offers a quick reply dialog upon receipt of an SMS.
However, I am getting an unexpected result. When I receieve an SMS, the appropriate dialog activity comes up displaying the correct phone number and message, however there is a second activity behind it that is the 'default' activity in my program (it is what opens when i launch my application)
I do not want this second activity to come up. The quick reply activity should come up by itself over top of whatever the user was doing before.
The 'floating' activity:
CODE:.........
The call to the activity inside an onReceive()
CODE:..............
The Manifest:

I'm writing an application that starts with a loading activity. In the loading activity the app requests html from web and parses the html, then it sends the parsing result to the main activity. The main activity has several tabs, and contents of these tabs are based on the result of parsing.For example, the result of parsing is a list of strings ["apple", "banana", "orange"], and I need to pass this list to main activity, so that the main activity can create three tabs named after three fruits.I would like to know if there is any way to pass a list of strings among activities, BTW, is it the common way of do this?

I created an application which enables the user to set whether he wants to receive notification while the application runs in background mode. If the notifications are enabled an activity should be started (the dialog should appear on the screen).
I tried to enabled it the following way:
CODE:...........
This is the method from main activity. When onPause() is executed isRunningInBackground is set true.
When I tried to debug it when the main application was running in the background the line
startActivity(intent) had no effect (the activity didn't appear).
Does anyone know how to midify the logic in order to start an activity from the main activity when the main activity is running in the background (after onPause() is called)?

Need an example of how to create/start a new activity from the main activity. I have a button click event on the main layout. Originally I just used setContentView(R.layout.secondactivity); which brings up the layout but I don't think that is correct since the secondactivity class is not instantiated at this point yet. I have looked for such an example and can not find one.

This is an intermittent bug in one of my apps. I don't expect anyone to solve it immediately, but I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to start debugging!So, my app lets users edit an item (in the EditPage activity). When they press the Back key, the desired behaviour is that it saves their edits and returns them to the home page (the HomeList activity). The code for this is below. It works fine. Except.The bug is this. Some users report that sometimes when they reopen the application after a pause, they are seeing *not* the home page, where they left the application - but the previous edit activity. Crucially, they are also seeing the edit activity without their saved edits - effectively losing their most recent edits.I've been able to reproduce this myself. It only happens after the application hasn't been opened for a while. If I save something, minimize the application and reopen it straight away, it shows the HomeList activity just fine, and the edits have all been saved. But if I save something, leave it for a couple of hours and then reopen it, it shows the previous EditPage activity, without the saved edits (i.e. in the state that the EditPage activity was previously launched).
Any ideas, anyone? I had wondered whether it was due to the Back button being used to return the user to the HomeList activity - maybe Android thinks that the Back button means that the HomeList is not the most "recent" activity, instead the EditPage is. I'd like to carry on using the Back button if possible, though. And in particular, I'm puzzled why it only happens after the app has been idle for an hour or so, and not immediately? Is it something to do with Android's memory management?

My application opens in Activity A1. None of the views in A1 are focused at startup, until I use the arrow keys to navigate through the views. A button press in A1 launches activity A2. When A2 opens, the first Button in A2 is focused by default. I do not want this happen. What I want is when A2 opens, none of the buttons are focused until arrow keys are used to naviagte through them(just like it is in A1).

I have a very simple listview going on. The list just consists of strings, when you click the string it opens a new activity blah blah. Here's the problem, I enabled settextfilter and while it did filter the list, when you click the result, it always performs the action of the string located at zero, and not the one it is supposed to.

From digging around a bit, getAssets() is an inherited method from ContextWrapper. It returns an AssetManager, and using open() it can return an InputStream. What I'm attempting to do at this point, is use the GLSurfuceViewActivity, Cube and CubeRenderer to work and learn off of and read in vertex data from a binary file. I've already created the binary output by parsing a model obj file and added to the assets directory. My Shape class (modified from the Cube class) does not have access to calling getAssets() since it's not a subclass of Activity or ContextWrapper. Once I accepted that, I tried to think of the best way to read in the data (without storing it extra places) to the Shape class. What I did, and seems to be working okay, was modify the Shape and ShapeRenderer constructors to accept an AssetManger as a parameter.

Is there a way to manage application activities by hand, like this: user activating an application from menu, it does some initialization, then creates some activity (is it necessar y to declare all activities in the application manifest?), and listens to it's events. On some event application decides to close one activity and open another - so it contains all the application logic. Didn't found anything like this in examples, they all have all the logic in the activity classes. Maybe I need to user Services? (Maybe I don't understand right, what an activity represents. For me it's like window in windows, or Displayable in j2me) I'm very new to android development, trying to understand the basics.

I have a service which collect data and send them to a certain URL and updating the main activity GUI, so which is better in the performance to use a long service with listeners to collect the data and threads in it to update the GUI and sends to the internet or to make another service responsible for updating the GUI and sending to the URL only while the first one just collects the data?

so the application I've written has a service (that tracks GPS data) with a single main activity that binds to it with bindService in it's onStart() method, and unbinds from the service in it's onStop() method using unbindService( ServiceConnection ). I also have an activity which is an options screen, that is launched by pressing a button on the main activity. On this options screen, I have a checkbox that says "Run in background", which, if set to true, means that when the user exits the application with eier the Home or Back buttons, the service will continue running, not turning the GPS off. I do this by calling this.startForeground onUnbind, and this.stopForeground onRebind, if the setting is set to true, and stopping and starting my location reader onUnbind and onRebind respectively if the setting is false. If the service is running in the background, it also displays a notification to ensure the user understands that the GPS is still running and draining their power. This notification is displayed and stopped by relying on the startForeground and stopForeground methods......

Are there any scenarios on Android where a process can be instantiated (classes loaded, etc.) and a non-main activity launched without going through the main activity? Background: my app has a single main activity (android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" and android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"), some secondary activities, and a preferences class providing static methods meant to be called from anywhere. These static methods' implementations require a Context, and so the class has a static Context member s_context; the static methods assert that s_context is non-null before using it. The very first thing I do in my main activity's onCreate() method is pass getApplicationContext() into the preferences class so it can set s_context.

I created some custom elements and I want to programatically place them to the upper right corner (n pixels from the top edge and m pixels from the right edge) therefore I need to get the screen width and screen height and then set position:
int px = screenWidth - m;
int py = screenWidth - n;
Does anyone know how to get screenWidth and screenHeight in the main Activity?

I need to be able to be able to call readAsset from outside of the main activity of my application. I have heard people mention needing to pass the Context around, but the language has been very vague. Can someone describe the steps necessary to add the ability to call readAsset to an existing class that is not the main activity? Creating a public function in the main activity and having others call that will not work as the place I need to add readAsset to, is in a separate thread.
