View 1 RepliesDuring my activity I'm sending an intent to the browser in order to display a webpage :
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://ww.mywebpage.com"); startActivity(i);
I need to make sure that before sending the intent the browser cache and history are cleared so that the page get loaded from server directly and not from phone.
So far I've found the 2 following but I'm not sure they are used correctly :
Browser.clearHistory(getContentResolver());
Browser.clearSearches(getContentResolver());
Also with that cache is not cleared.
I found the Clear Browser, Clear Cache, and cookies option in the setting and did that, but when i go on craigslist on the droid browser it still shows on what Ive previously clicked on. does anyone know how to clear this so that it looks like Ive never been on the site?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to programmatically clear the history of the android maps (and navigation) application.
I know there is a way to clear the browser history via Browser.clearSearches(getContentResolver());
And the corresponding permission: com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS
and this works fine (2.2.).
I couldn't find any way to clear the Maps-History though. Clearing the google/history online doesn't help either.
There are some apps in the market that promote to do that, so there must be an API for it, but i really couldn't find it yet.
I also messed around a bit with CLEAR_APP_CACHE and CLEAR_APP_USER_DATA but seems like they are signed/root-only permissions and delte too much anyways.
I have 3 Activities that my user continuously is looping through. When user is back to the main screen I need to terminate previous history so user cannot hit back button and end up on screen #2, what would be a good way to do something like that? To reiterate - say I don't know or predict the path which leads me to the original view. But once I load it I want to clear history that led user to that view. In 2.0 it's possible with overwriting Activity#onBackPressed but I need something like that in 1.6

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was composing an email and typed "jon" for my brother, but it brought up this dude who I used to work with and it almost inserted his email address. I deleted that guy from my EVO and it shows up as "HISTORY". I NEVER want to send an email to that person, so I DO NOT want the EVO to suggest his name from some "history" file. I have looked around but do not know how to clear out the email history list. Can someone please let me know how to do that? Sending an accidental email to folks that I have erased from my EVO would be not good.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I got my Ally on Thursday and have been messing around with the features. One thing I've found is that I cannot clear the Navigation history. I've searched google and read several threads that mention going into Manage Applications, then clicking on Maps and clearing the cache there. The problem is, I did that and the address under Recent Destinations still displays. I'm running Froyo. Does anyone know how to successfully clear this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe dropdown in the browser navigation bar shows every site that I've been to . How do I clear it? Menu>more>History>Clear History says my history is cleared but when I go back to my browser and tap the navigation field it's all still there - every site I've visited for days! Ditto if I go to Menu>More>Settings and clear the forms, history, cache, and cookies. So how do I clear the browser navigation history?

When I had a missed call, if I didn't clear my call history, when I turn my phone off and then back on again later, I still get the missed call notification on my lock screen. Is that a new feature they added or something messed up? If there's a way to turn it off, can somebody please tell me?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAll activities in my application require a user to be logged-in to view. Users can log out from almost any activity. This is a requirement of the application. At any point if the user logs-out, I want to send the user to the Login Activity. At this point I want this activity to be at the bottom of the history stack so that pressing the "back" button returns the user to Android's home screen.
I've seen this question asked a few different places, all answered with similar answers (that I outline here), but I want to pose it here to collect feedback. I've tried opening the Login activity by setting its Intent flags to FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP which seems to do as is outlined in the documentation, but does not achieve my goal of placing the Login activity at the bottom of the history stack, and preventing the user from navigating back to previously-seen logged-in activities. I also tried using android: launchMode ="singleTop" for the Login activity in the manifest, but this does not accomplish my goal either (and seems to have no effect anyway). I believe I need to either clear the history stack, or finish all previously- opened activities. One option is to have each activity's onCreate check logged-in status, and finish() if not logged-in. I do not like this option, as the back button will still be available for use, navigating back as activities close themselves. The next option is to maintain a LinkedList of references to all open activities that is statically accessible from everywhere (perhaps using weak references). On logout I will access this list and iterate over all previously-opened activities, invoking finish() on each one. I'll probably begin implementing this method soon.
I'd rather use some Intent flag trickery to accomplish this, however. I'd be beyond happy to find that I can fulfill my application's requirements without having to use either of the two methods that I've outlined above. Is there a way to accomplish this by using Intent or manifest settings, or is my second option, maintaining a LinkedList of opened activities the best option? Or is there another option that I'm completely overlooking?
I went to Settings: Search, Clear history, but that didn't clear out the search history for the Market. How do I clear it in the Market?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSometimes I like to get rid of all the texts etc. from someone on my phone. But on the X, I can delete the text message, no problem. But how do I delete the history from under my contacts. What I mean is when you go to your contact list and select a contact you can view the contact but then move the screen over and view all recent history with them. That still sits there after a text thread has been deleted. Is there a way to prevent this from even happening or at least some way to delete the history?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to clear the history in youtube or marketplace? Disclaimer-It's not from searching for inappropriate things rather it is knowing it can be done. I have not been able to locate a way to do this, anyone figure it out? The browser and the main menu history is easy to reset, but youtube and marketplace seem impossible.
