View 1 Repliesimplicit intent with class name as action defined in intentfilter. is not working. Only it it is defined as "android.intent.action." it is picked up ? is it so ?
I have app A with the following in manifest.xml file
CODE:.............
In app B, i tried to call the activity in A using below code.
CODE:.............
This code works. But not above line.
To understand the implicit intents by example.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI`m trying to develop an application, just to test the ability of android to call an activity with an intent based not in the specific class name but specifying the action, category and data information. Acording to this link
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html
only three aspects are consulted when comparing an intent object to select the future activity to run. I created two android projects (and two activities), the first is the main project who sends the request and the second can be called directly or through the filter. This is the call of the activity in the main project:
CODE:..................
This is the part of the manifest that specifies (or at least I try to specify) in the secondary activity that it`s available to be selected to run with that information:
CODE:...............
I installed both separatelly and I was expecteing to see the second activity after the called but instead I got an ActivityNotFoundException. By the way if I comment the t3.addCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_HOME); line and change the t3.setAction (Intent.ACTION_EDIT); to t3.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); the browser is executed so I think the problem is in the manifest of the second activity.
What would y'all recommend? I see tons of them on AppBrain, but it doesn't seem that any of them do both things, and the few that do have ridiculous time limits o the records like 2-4 minutes.

I added following intent-filter to the AndroidManifest of Application A:
CODE:..............
And called the Intent in Application B by using folloing code:
CODE:.............
All I get ist, the error message that Application A was stoped unexpectedly.
I am trying to launch an activity by specifying only its action(custom) defined in its intent filter from an activity in other application. The activity to be launched is the main activity of its application thus have android.intent.action.MAIN & android.intent.category.LAUNCHER set as action and category in its intent filter. Now according to android doc on Intent and Intent Filter, i do not need to specify DEFAULT category at all in this case. But doing the same i am i am unable to launch the activity.
LogCat says, Activity could not be found...
Am i misinterpreting the text or is there something else missing...?
Code, used for calling the activity
CODE:.............
Definition of Activity being called in the manifest file
COE:....................
I couldnt figure out the exact understanding of implicit intents.
When i was going through the tutorial i read about it.
Here are some important points to remember: 1 - Implicit Intents do not specify a target component 2 - Components willing to receive implicit intents have to declare their ability to handle a specific intent by declaring intent filters 3 - A component can declare any number of Intent Filters 4 - There can be more than one component that declares the same Intent Filters and hence can respond to the same implicit intent. In that case the user is presented both the component options and he can choose which one he wants to continue with 5- You can set priorities for the intent filters to ensure the order of responses.
I read this about Implicit Intents.
I couldnt get visualisation of 4th point. So wanted to try it out by writing some examples.
I tested this like below. Wrote two apps.
I had written two activities in one app, CallingActivity & anotherActivity.
CODE:...........
One more app,which has two activities like below.
CODE:..................
I ran the first app in emulator and pressed home screen, it mean it runs in the background.(Not exited ) Then i opened the second app and clicked a button in frirst activity(testmain) and tried to call setAction "com.android.localguide.GET_RESULT"
i.setAction("com.android.localguide.GET_RESULT");
But it is opening the activity "results".. It dint showed a options to choose which components( i expected first app ) activity i need to use ?
Am i right in executing in the right context to understand that point no 4 ?
I am trying to activate an activity from another activity using implicit intent.
Code fragment of mail activity:
Code:
public void onClick(View view) {
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
int id = view.getId();[code].....
I did the search and found 3 threads all worthless. I don't care about legalities. I just want a working call recorder for the Motorola Droid. Please3 don't start rambling in this thread about legalities I don't care it's not for use in court only for HOA meetings.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi don't record video very often, so i just noticed this problem after having my droid for almost a month. does anyone else experience this? it's a little difficult to explain, but it seems like the automatic brightness of the video recorder is not working correctly. in low light scenarios, instead of the video getting brighter so you can see more, it actually gets DIMMER. i can tell this because i set up a scenario where half the room is regular light and half is low light.
things look fine in the regular light. additionally, things look fine when i have both sides of the room in the picture, and i can tell the droid adjusts a little because the the picture will get brighter, causing the regular light side to be very bright but the low light side to be visible (that's the expected behavior). then, when i pan to the low light side, i see the camera make a brightness adjustment again, but it gets dimmer rather than brighter, making it almost impossible to see anything. the screen basically turns black. i'm sure this is not how it's supposed to work, but what i'm wondering is whether i have a faulty unit and should exchange or whether everyone has this issue. did anyone understand this post?
I have seen many call recording apps in the Market, but am yet to find one that announces something like "This call may be recorded" at the beginning of the call, for states where this is legally required.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA number of previous posts imply that attempts to apply bespoke image processing on a Camera preview are hamstrung by a buggy API and will in any event run extremely slowly due to the need to manually decode the preview buffer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to develop an application for the android 1.5 sdk version that allows the user to simply recorder a video but it has been a long road. I can record audio with the simple example on the android developers website but when I put the VideoSource and the VideoEncoder lines it gives a 100 error that means that the Camera server died. Here is an example of the code.
recorder.setCamera(mCamera); recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile("/sdcard/dcim/Camera/test.3gp");
recorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP);
recorder.prepare(); recorder.start(); ...
