Is it possible to attach Menu to an application rather than each activity in the application? I have 20-23 activities in my application and it doesn't make sense me to add same menu to all the activities.

I've been doing this by creating it in onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) for each Activity but this seems redundant. Is there a way to create it in one place and have it available in all Activities?

I want to hide my application icon from main menu at the run time. I believe that a filter with category Launcher in the application's manifest file is responsible for the application's presence in the main menu. Is there any way to change the category at run time? or any other way to hide the icon from main menu?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHere's what I'm attempting to do. I have a menu and when a user selects a particular option in the menu I want the browser application to open and display the web page. However, I cannot seem to do this. My application uses a TabWidget to display its content (which works perefectly) but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open a link into the browser. I have tried adding a WebView to the TabWidget (but when I request it from the view by findViewById(...) I get a null.
I've also tried creating a separate view and performing a setContentView(...) and then I get an exception. I've also tried using an intent I've seen demonstrated on this group. It seems like this should be fairly easy, but I must be missing anything. I've looked at the sample apps as well as the Apps-for- android samples and have followed them to the T, yet still to no avail I cannot get the browser to open (or anything like that).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI don't understand this. If I go to menu - applications, I have manage apps and running services. My running services only shows essential apps running. When I go into manage apps and click on the running tab, it shows a ton of non essential apps running that I have used. My confusion, and question is, which menu is correct? For example, facebook does not show under running services but it shows under the running tab in the manage apps menu. I force close it and it comes back on. Which one is correct?

I have an application with several Activities. My A Activity has the Manifest Intent filter parameters: action.MAIN and category.LAUNCHER. after its being loaded I call Activity B and finish() A since I don't use it anymore.
After I run my application, go from Activity A to B and press the Home button, when I relaunch it from the applications menu or from the Market app for ex.(not by a long press on the Home button), it starts from the A Activity and do not save its last Activity B.
I definitely know that this is possible to relaunch an application from its last Activity (some application from the Market do support it) and I think that this can be determined by the Manifest parameters but I don't know which one.
How to implement it so my application can relaunch from its last Activity B?
How do you move an icon in application menu from one screen to another? I know I can rearrange icons by clicking menu button then edit, but I can't move an icon from one screen to another. The same goes in application menu and in home menu.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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!
I understand how to use intents and startActivity() when opening another activity within my own app, but how do you start a different app? specifically:
- How do you determine if the user has the needed app installed on their device?
- How do you start that app?
- How do you pass parameters to that app?
- How do you find all this info out for a specific app (say Adobe reader, or google maps)?
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've got an Android app which has a periodic background Service. I want this Service to react differently depending on whether any Activities in my application are open. The issue is that the Service just keeps itself running via the AlarmManager making it on kind of on a separate "track" from the Activities, so I don't know whether the application is open when it runs.
The best solution I can think of is to flip a boolean on/off whenever onResume() or onPause() is called in all my Activities, but this seems like a lot of footwork. Is there a simpler, more elegant solution?
For an unknown reason, I can't get my application leaving properly so that when I push the home button and the app icon again I resume where I was in the app....But I would like to force the application to restart at the first activity...I suppose this has something to do with onDestroy() or maybe onPause() but I don't know what to do..
