Android :: Bring Up Software Keyboard , While In ConnectBot?
Aug 1, 2009
Just recently got my HTC Magic, i love it, such a cracking OS & Phone combination, lot of my fellow colleagues wish they had not followed the crowd having seen my handset
Right back on topic, i was at the pub with a group of work mates, and we got onto SSH for the Magic (as you do) so i installed ConnectBot.
Great first impressions, easily managed to connect to a box (although it does seam to time out for password entry rather fast?) I could gain access and holding the track ball for Cntrl is a nice option. Which actually makes it useable as i have to use screens all the time in SSH.
My problem is the keyboard, the App looks like it was designed for the G1, after i had done a few commands i minimized the keyboard so i could see more, but then could not get it back.
Is there a way to bring up the software keyboard, while in ConnectBot?

Here's my problem. I have a WebView, but I don't want a new Intent to be launched when the page is redirected, so I wrote my own WebViewClient to handle this. However, I can't figure out how to get the WebViewClient to allow keyboard input. Clicking on an input box does not bring up the soft keyboard, nor can I use the hard keyboard on the G1 to input data. I don't see any methods in WebViewClient that would handle this. Anyone have any ideas?

How does it work and what do you use it for? Don't know much about servers but never hurts to learn. I know I will probably end up loving the idea.

First, I'm new to Java and Android Development so I hope you're patient with me :)
My aim in my first app is to establish an ssh-connection to my linux machine running openssh and sending commands to it on the one hand and receiving stdout on the other hand.
Since there is an app for doing all the ssh that absolutely benefit to my needs, (connectbot) I thought it would be the best not reinventing the wheel and using connectbot for sending commands.
As I read there is a general mechanism in android to do so called intents. And I found that connectbot seems to offer such intents, but I don't feel able to use them at the moment and I'm not quite sure if it it works that way in general:
http://www.openintents.org/en/node/102
As I said I'm new to Java and android and only did a few hello world examples using these great xtensivearts video tutorials:
So its a bit hard for me to get started the right way. What do I want to do exactly?
Simply onpressbutton in my app -> sending a certain command in the background to the ssh-connected machine via connectbot or anything that can provide that.
In further development I would like to get data from the ssh-connected machine (stdout would be enough due to I could handle the output server-sided)
All this has to take place in the activity of my app. Even username and password should be configured via the settings of my app.
It simply should use the basic features of ssh via connectbot.
I would be really happy if you could help me getting started right with this issue. I know it sounds a bit hard for the first app but I really need ssh in my app cause it would greatly facilitate the server sided development.

Okay, folks...my GPS is pooched. I found the thread about resetting it...but I need my MSL....and i have *NO* clue what to do with connectbot. All the instructions just say "Use it to get your MSL"....*NOT* a lot of help, there.......
Where am i supposed to connect-to...and what do I do *after* that?
I assume I need to use the ##4772579#, since I can't type any text into the phone dialer...I get the MSL prompt from there....but I obviously can't get any further.

Ok, be gentle with me I'm not a developer but a network engineer wanting to use Connectbot on my HTC Desire to remote admen some of our servers. I'm concerned about other apps on the device capturing root passwords - is this possible, can I look at the apps installed to determine whether or not they can do this, is this the right place for this question?

One thing I do like about the iphone/ipod touch is that you set the home button to double tap and have that bring up the music controls. really basic, just brings up pause/play, forward, and back...and volume. I really miss that since I'm trying to use my Droid as my main music player now, but I hate that I have to click a widget or go to notifications to change the music. Especially when I'm driving, its would be so much easier if the controls popped up above the lock screen so i don't have to unlock every time. Any thoughts?

Lets suppose that i have an activity A, that activity is moved to background(function moveTaskToBack is used), and after while i want to bring this activity to front again. This code is used: Activity A = getActivity(); Intent i = new Intent(A, A.getClass()); i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); A.startActivity(i);
Activity is on screen, but when i invoke later moveTaskToBack on A activity, activity is not moved to backgorund. Does anyone know why?

If my app is already running, then either Activity1 or Activity2 might be currently on top. How to construct an Intent so that it will simply show whichever Activity is already on top (in the task)? Just like if you touch an icon in the Recent list (long-press home). At the moment, it looks like (for explicit Intents) you need to be explicit about the Activity to launch. But I would rather be explicit about the app (package name). FWIW, I'm thinking of Intents triggered via Notifications.

For those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

I am trying to bring the InCallScreen to the foreground when clicking on a notification, and am having trouble figuring out how to do so. My application is displaying information about the call and acts like a dialog (where it is translucent, so you can still see whatever is behind it). While in a call, I frequently hit the home button, and pull up other information (such as my contact list to read to someone the person's info). I would like to then click on my notification bar icon and pull up not only my activity, but also the in call phone screen. I know the in call screen has it's own icon in the notification list, but I would like to reduce the number of clicks to get back. code...

I just got the Motorola Droid last week, and I love it. But I do have one problem with it. I've noticied that, and only when I'm in sunlight, when I take or make a call the screen goes off before I bring it to my ear and will stay off even when I pull it away to hang up. I have to wait for the other person to hang up and then slide out my keyboard to get the unlock screen to pop up. Inside however, there are no problems. Anyone else having this problem, and if so what did you do to fix it.? Technical said they don't know what's wrong with it, but I'm going to call them back after the holiday. Also I noticied that my alarm occasionaly doesn't work. Is this normal? I did download a pay app alarm clock, but I don't know yet if it will work 100%.

I defined an activity ExampleActivity.
When my application was launched, an instance of this activity was created, say it is A. When user clicked a button in A, another instance of ExampleActivity, B was created. Now the task stack is B, A, with B at the top. Then, user clicked a button on B, another instance of ExampleActivity, and C was created. Now the task stack is C, B, A, with C at the top.
Now, when user click a button on C, I want the application to bring A to the foreground, i.e. make A to be at the top of task stack, A, C, B.

I tried it and it works so far.
Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.
From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers
Verbage:
Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.
Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion
Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.
The app is still in development.

I am aware my issue is against the philosophy of Android, but I have no choice, this application will run on a embedded car gps and I need to bring an activity to prevent from car accident, for example, when it's happen around the user. I have to put other activity on the back and bring my alert pop up without user manipulation like notification on the front. Is there a way to bring manually an activity to the front, by resuming it like when you click on the android task switcher?

Is there any way to launch an activity w/ Intents (in this case the Browser) in the background, and then bring it to the foreground using a service or activity?
I know it's possible to bring apps to the foreground by launching an intent with FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT
But is it possible to initially launch the activity in the background?

I'm creating notifications in my Android application, and would like to have an option in my preferences to set what sound is used for the notification. I know that in the Settings application you can choose a default notification sound from a list. Where does that list come from, and is there a way for me to display the same list in my application?

I create an application which displays the notification when the service starts. If an user navigates to HOME screen (without exiting the application), the user could still go back to the previous application by pressing on the notification icon. This is very similar case as the track recording service in Google application "My Track".
I want the existing activity as Single Top activity since it has associated service running. However when my application tries to bring the existing activity to front via notification, the existing activity's onDestroy has been called which causes problem. How can I skip this onDestroy method? Here is my current codes:

I have one Android application, when it runs a service, I want to show the notification on the status bar. Then the user could navigate to other application by pressing HOME key. However when I try to bring the previous running application back to Front via notification icon, there is some problem with the existing activity. Even I declare it as "Single Top" mode (I want to run the existing activity since there is an associated service running) , somehow that activity's OnDestroy has been called before OnResume. Here is my code of creating the notification object.

I think I read somewhere that the hardware is multi-touch capable.. so, pinch to zoom should be do-able with software, yes? Does anyone know (for sure) if the upcoming Android 2.1 release will bring that to the Moment?

My app has 2 activities - A and B. From homescreen I launch A, from A I launch B. The activity stack looks like this: A-B. Now I press HOME button, and from homescreen click again on my app icon, which launches A and adds it on top of the activity stack, which now looks like this: A-B-A. But I just want to bring my application to foreground, is that possible in Android?
