Android :: Display AlertDialog As System Overlay Window From Service
Sep 28, 2010I have issue with displaying AlertDialog from Service. I am able to display custom layout window using Toast or using WindowManager(TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT or TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY). But, I do not want to use custom layout, I prefer to use nice AlertDialog GUI directly.
Scenario:
Running Service. No active Activity present. On some external event, Service sends Notification
When user press Notification, Service is informed via PendingIntent and AlertDialog should be displayed (created with AlertDialog.Builder(this))
Error: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1063): Caused by: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application. Searching for the answer lead me to impression that I am trying something that is currently not possible (Android 2.2). Or maybe it is.
Android :: Want To Set Up A Context Menu In An AlertDialog?
Nov 13, 2010I've been working at this all day, and I'm really close but just can't get this to work. I have a button that pulls up an AlertDialog populated with saved entries that include Name and Price. Right now, I can click an item in the Dialog and have it automatically fill in the Name and Price fields in my activity. I want to also be able to long press an item and receive an option to delete it. This is my first try at an Android app, and a lot of this is repurposed from the Notepad Tutorial. Two things I can't figure out:
1) Is my registerForContextMenu sufficient/correct?
2) What am I doing wrong with my onCreateContextMenu? Code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: AlertDialog.show Silently Ignored Within Service
Nov 9, 2010I have a service running a background thread. What I'd like to do is to show an AlertDialog initiated from my background thread. I know that this is not the recommended way of notifying the user and that it interrupts the workflow (as they can pop-up in any application at any time) but it's a suitable way for my use case. There is a handler registered with the background thread and showing a Toast notification withing the handler works fine. But after switching to an AlertDialog nothing happens anymore. My showDialog logic is silently ignored. No Dialog window appears, no log entry. It's a bit strange as I'd expect at least a log entry saying that I'm doing something wrong or whatever. Are there any limitations for showing an AlertDialog initiated from a service background thread? Some people seem to recommend a Dialog themed Activity to get a similar behavior.

Android :: Get Calling Context In Service
Aug 30, 2010So I'm working on a service that will handle requests to send data to a socket.I've done socket programming in a service before, but only within the same application. I'd like this to just sit and do nothing until any application wants to give it data to send. That's all well and good.I have register an intent filter and the usual stuff and can process the data. But I want to process the data coming from different activities in different threads (subsequent calls from the same application will be computed on the same thread).Is there a way to get the calling package or app or whatever? I'd prefer not to require passing in an identifier as an extra to prevent spoofing. (It's not a serious security concern, it's just each application needs its data processed in the order that it's received.)

Mar 12, 2010I am trying to figure out what is the best way to go about creating dialogs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Display Progress Of Service In Android?
Jul 27, 2010In my android application, I am using the tab view and so I have two tabs: parameters and results. the user enters the various parameters on the first tab and then switches to the second tab to view the results. i have a service that performs some long-running calculations. the user enters parameters on the first tab and hits 'calculate'. They can make adjustments and hit 'recalculate' and the service is updated with the new parameters.
As these calculations progress, I want the user to be able to switch to the results tab to view the results of the latest calculation. They would then view the results and be able to switch back to the parameters tab to make adjustments. I can think of two approaches: register the 'results tab' with the service and when the service reaches a milestone, it calls directly to the 'results tab'. have a timer running in the 'results tab' and have it query against the bound service on a regular interval and update accordingly.

Aug 8, 2010I'm trying to create an application that can use the android as a fax machine, IE Send a picture as a fax or receive a fax and save as a picture. So far I'm starting from the ground up and making sure I can intercept a call at the users discretion. I have an Receiver registered in the Manifest of my program with a filter of Phone_State which flags when the state has changed(IE incoming call).
So on my BroadcastReceiver I'm trying to have an AlertDialog popup prompting the user to either accept as fax or call but the AlertDialog seems to throw a android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException Error when it has an incoming call. My code is just simple an onReceive(context arg0, intent arg1) and I pass the arg0 to the AlertDialog...

From what I have seen in the AlertDialog code, it passes the context as well as a Window and WindowManager, which I believe is why it's crashing, is there a better way or something else I should be using which might overlay the call screen?
