Is there a simple way to change the contents of a dialog box in Android without having to re-create the dialog box? I know that Activity.onCreateDialog() is only called once when the dialog first needs to be created, and this is where you initially set the dialog's contents. I need to change the dialog's contents later, so I'm wondering what is the proper way to do this.

Say my app has a widget and I use a configuration screen to do initial app widget setup and set a few preferences.
I want the user to be able to change those settings by simply going into my app's settings screen and clicking an intent preference to open up the same options the user was given when the app was created.
Can I use the same activity as the configuration activity? Will I have to handle it differently? How does the existing widget get updated with the new settings?
How can I get this to work?

I tried unzipping the apks contents, performing the changes I wanted, rezipping, and then using the zipalign tool on my modified apk but when I try to install I get the error 'MyPackage.apk' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml when I try to install.

I trying to understand how a new process is being created based on AndroidManifest.xml, also looking for the possibility of creating/ forking a new Java process/new DVM instance at runtime.
I could find that using Runtime.exec one can issue system commands or launch native applications, but this is not what I am looking for, I am looking for creating an equivalent java process just as the parent java process.
Can I launch an installed android application at runtime from another android application? Whats the way for doing this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedFlipping between landscape and portrait is causing me a problem with dialogs that are active at the time of config change. The dialogs survive (which I think is good), but I have the problem that some of my dialogs contain dynamic content which would need to be refreshed in the dialog views. All that content disappears from the dialog views after the config change.
I thought it would be easier to do a dismissDialog() on restoration in onCreate(), letting the user press the button that shows the dialog. I successfully save and recover the dialog id, but when I attempt to dismissDialog(id) I get an IllegalArgumentException: no dialog with id 1 was ever shown via Activity$showDialog. Ok, so that doesn't work, and I still have that messed up dialog up on the screen that I want to get rid of. How can I do that? Are there any other reasonable alternatives?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an app that communicates with a server.While it is communicating, it shows a progress dialog.The way this actually works is that I have a class that I call my Network Gateway.Each method takes a Handler as a callback so that the gateway can send back the response as a bundle when it has finished. Right now when someone changes orientation while a network operation is occuring, the activity doesn't know that a thread is running the network code and then the callback might be invalid.What's the right way to do this? I want to make it so that after the orientation switch, the activity can check something to see if a network operation is running and if so, display the progress dialog again and wait for the callback, or set itself as the callback handler now, invalidating the old one.My first guess is that this is exactly the kind of thing services were designed for, but I'd like specifics if anyone can supply them.
View 25 Replies View RelatedI have a card game I created in android and it is possible to show the scores at any given time by clicking a menu option. I would like that scores dialog to show a different background image when it's loaded depending on factors like who's leading, etc. In my constructor, I have the following relevant code:
public ScoresDialog(Context context) {
super(context);
this.setTitle(R.string.scoresDialogHeading);
setContentView(R.layout.scores_view);
...
}
I have tried getting that view to change it in the showDialog method i wrote like so: findViewById(R.layout.scores_view).setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE); However, I got a NPE... I tried moving this statement to the onStart method, thinking that the view is not yet initialized but got the same error... Any thoughts on what the right way to do something like that is?
I download some data from internet in background thread (I use AsyncTask) and display a progress dialog while downlaoding. Orientation changes, Activity is restarted and then my AsyncTask is completed.I want to dismiss the progess dialog and start a new Activity. But calling dismissDialog sometimes throws an exception (probably because the Activity was destroyed and new Activity hasn't been started yet).What is the best way to handle this kind of problem (updating UI from background thread that works even if user changes orientation)? Did someone from Google provide some "official solution"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy program does some network activity in a background thread. Before starting, it pops up a progress dialog. The dialog is dismissed on the handler.This all works fine, except when screen orientation changes while the dialog is up (and the background thread is going). At this point the app either crashes, or deadlocks, or gets into a weird stage where the app does not work at all until all the threads have been killed.How can I handle the screen orientation change gracefully?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm creating an Android app, where the user starts out seeing a list of questions. When the user clicks a question, I would like to show him a new clickable list, containing that question and its answer alternatives.
My questions reside in rows in the database. The questions live in the first column, while the answer alternatives live in the following columns.
I've managed to display any single element from the row when I click a question in the list, but how to display more than one completely eludes me.
This is the relevant source code in the intent entered when the user clicks a question:
private void fillData() {
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
Long id = extras != null ? extras.getLong(QuestionsDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID) : null;
Cursor questionsCursor = mDbHelper.fetchQuestion(id);
startManagingCursor(questionsCursor);
String[] from = new String[]{mDbHelper.KEY_QUESTION,
mDbHelper.KEY_ALT1,mDbHelper.KEY_ALT2};
int[] to = new int[]{R.id.text1};
SimpleCursorAdapter questions =
new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.questions_one_row,
questionsCursor, from,to);
setListAdapter(questions);}
This displays only the question. If I put one of the answer alternatives first in the 'String[] from ...' statement, that gets displayed instead.

Enter ".help" for instructions

SQLite simply echos my commands back to me, even although the Eclipse file browser tells me it exists. If I use the sqlite3 tool and use ".tables" the commands are accepted.
Is the SQLite syntax different through the emulator is am I missing something?
