Android :: Launching Activity From Status Bar Creates New Activity / Even When One Already Exists
Nov 9, 2010I have an activity that starts a long-running service which in turn adds an icon to the status bar. When the activity gets invisible, e.g. by pressing the Home button, and the pressing the icon in the status bar a new activity is created instead of showing the already created activity. If you now press the back button the new activity is destroyed and the activity created in the first place gets visible. How do I make the invisible activity brought to front when pressing the icon in the status bar instead of creating a new activity?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid : TabWidget Activity Handling - Does It Create New Activity EveryTime?
Apr 27, 2010When a TabWidget is using intents to designate the target Activity for each tab, is there any special handling of those Activities on the Activity Stack outside of the default operation? For Instance, if my app has tabs A, B, and C, and I click them in this order--A, B, A, C, A, B--how will the Activity stack change? My understanding of the default operation, if startActivity() is called each time on the intent, would have the Stack keep loading up new instances of the activities: A, AB, ABA, ABAC, ABACA, ABACAB It's hard to believe that's how it works though... Seems like it would be a waste of resources and could be endless. Can anyone tell me how this will actually work?

May 18, 2010I wanted to create a notification without the icon in the status bar (the state that is not expanded). I tried the custom expanded view and set the icon for this view only. But it did not work. When I give 0 as icon to the constructor, the icon disappears but notification also does not appear in the expanded view.
Notification notification = new Notification(0, "", 0); I tried a lot of combinations but didn't come out with a solution. By the way, I know it is working because I saw this feature in some apps. Thanks.
Android :: Create A Status Bar Icon On Right Side?
Mar 29, 2010Notification and NotificationManager are used to create icons to be placed on the top-left position of the screen. A Notification also need to have an entry on the status bar pull-down.
However, icons on the right side such as the battery, signal strength, wireless indicators do not need any entry on the status bar.
How do I make such icons without any entry in the status bar pull-down?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Status Bar Activity?
Nov 18, 2009Notifications are displayed in status bar.Any thing, which appears to user in android is an activity. Thus can i assume status bar as an activity. Because user can see it. In that case there are always two activities in running mode ,one is home or any user activity and another is status bar activity. If that is the case we should have two activity stacks in android system one for status bar and another for home activity or any user activity. In my observation whenever a notification is received my running activity is not disturbed.And even it is not found in activity stack. Finally what i want to ask is can assume that there are two activity stacks in andriod system.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Create Clickable On Icon In Status Bar To Run Function / Method / Code
Sep 3, 2010I have placed an icon on the status bar. I would like to run a method of another class whenever the user selects that icon. I've seen similar functionality used in volume icons that sit on the status bar that allow a user to raise or lower the volume when the icon is clicked. However, these icons are on the right side of the status bar, and from what I've seen, I'm not allowed to put an icon there. I don't know if that kind of functionality is available to left side icons. So basically, I'm looking for how to run a function when a status bar icon is clicked. I don't want to open an activity, I just want to run a function.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCreate New Activity Or Update View Of Existing Activity?
Dec 24, 2012I am working on developing an app and I am not sure when should I use a new activity and when should I update the existing view.
For example, lets say I have a view that shows a multiple choice question.Now, when the user selects his choices and clicks on say "Evaluate", I want to show the same question view but along with the right answers and explanations for each option. So does that mean, I should send an Intent upon a click on Evaluate or I should just update the view (i am not sure how)?
If I send an intent and show a new screen, how can the user go back to the next question without displaying the answers? If I don't create an new activity, how can I update the existing view that is already displayed?

Android :: Status Bar - Opening Correct Activity When Selecting Notification
May 26, 2010I have been having a problem with a notification not opening/going to the correct activity when it has been clicked. My notification code (located in a class which extends Service):
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence contentTitle = "Notification";
CharSequence contentText = "New Notification";
final Notification notifyDetails = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, "Consider yourself notified", System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent notifyIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,notifyIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL);
notifyDetails.setLatestEventInfo(context, contentTitle, contentText, intent);
((NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE)).notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notifyDetails);
If I click the notification while the application which created the service is open, the notification disappears (due to the FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL) but the activity does not switch. If I click the notification from the home screen, the notification disappears and my app is brought to the front, however it remains on the activity which was open before going to the home screen, instead of going to the main screen. How do I specify the activity that will be pulled up?
Android :: Can Service Report Back To Calling Activity With Status
Jun 29, 2010Is there a way that a Service can report back to the calling activity when the Service has reached a particular stage of processing? Consider a music player activity that initiates the actual music playing in the background as an Android Service. I want to detect and inform the Activity when the Service has reached the Mediaplayer's onPrepared. Is there a way that the Service can tell the calling Activity when the MediaPlayer's onPrepared is called, to let the Activity know that the audio is prepared and ready to play?I am basically looking to see if there is work around, rather than having a thread in the activity, pinging constantly to check if the Service has reached onPrepared.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Clicking On Notification In Status Bar Binds The Intent With Target Activity
Mar 25, 2010I have created an activity which sends a number of notifications to status bar. Each notification contains an intent with a bundle.
Here is the code:
CODE:..............
When user clicks this notifications, I read the bundle string "action" and performs that action. Here is the code:
CODE:.................
Everything works as expected. But, when I minimize the app using "arrow" button on device and then press and hold home button and clicks on my app icon the application starts and performs the same last action which have been performed by clicking the last notification. I figured out that when we click the app icon the application starts with last intent triggered by the notification.
Android :: Can I Create An Activity For A Particular Task?
Mar 17, 2010Here's my use case: The app starts at a login screen. You enter your credentials and hit the "Login" button. Then a progress dialog appears and you wait for some stuff to download. Once the stuff has downloaded, you are taken to a new activity. Exactly which activity you are taken to depends on the server response.
Here's my problem: If you go HOME during this login/download process, at some point in the near future your download will complete and will invoke startActivity(). So then the new activity will be pushed to the foreground, rudely interrupting the user. I can't start the activity before I start the download, because, as I mentioned earlier, the activity I start depends on the result of the download.
I would obviously not like to interrupt the user like this. One way to solve this is to refrain from calling startActivity() until the user returns to the app. I can do this by keeping track of the LoginActivity's onStop() and onRestart(). But I'm wondering, is there any way to create the activity while it is in the background? That way the user returns to the app and he is ready to go. otherwise he would have to wait for the new activity to be created (which could take some time because the new activity also has to download and display some data). Update: Guess what? I LIED! I could have sworn that starting this activity was causing it to come to the foreground, but I went back to test it again and the problem has magically disappeared. I tested in both 1.6 and 2.0.1 and both OSes were smart enough not to bring a backgrounded task to the front.
Android :: Create Project And Activity Name
Nov 9, 2009Once upon a time (Android 1.5 and earlier), when you would create a new project using the "android create project" command, it worked well -- you had an app that could immediately be compiled and installed.
Now, though, when you run that command, a number of places need fixing up, where ACTIVITY_NAME shows up instead of the activity name specified...depending on the API level you target.
For example:
CODE:............
leaves ACTIVITY_NAME in:
CODE:..........
If I change the target to 1, 3, or 4, it works as expected. If I have the target as 2 or 5, it gives me the ACTIVITY_NAME.
So, I'm curious to know if:
a. This is a bug, or
b. I'm missing something (despite this example coming straight from the docs), or
c. I've lost my marbles

View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Whether To Start Stopped Activity Or Create New One?
Feb 18, 2010Long story short, I have a LaunchActivity which is always called by LAUNCHER (i.e. the home screen). It then starts LoginActivity and then closes itself.This is the flow:
User launches app
LaunchActivity starts, starts
LoginActivity and then calls
finish() on itself (At this point
LoginActivity is the only Activity
on the stack)
User press "Home" button, stopping
LoginActivity
User launches the app again When the app is launched for the 2nd time, two things can happen:
LaunchActivity starts, finishes
itself and then STARTS LoginActivity
LaunchActivity starts, finishes
itself and then CREATES
LoginActivity, so there are now two
LoginActivitys on the stack.
(2) seems to happen when I restart Eclipse and the simulator (yeah I know, black magic). Some extra info: I'm not using any start flags and my manifest doesn't have any launchModes defined.

Android : When To Use Layouts / Create New Activity Classes?
Mar 3, 2010I'm writing a game for Android. My GUI has the following basic screens (i.e. the information and interactions required on each of these would take up the whole display):
Main menu (let you start a new game, enter settings, see high scores, see about screen)
Game screen i.e. where the actual game is played.
Settings screen.
High scores screen.
About screen (i.e. credits and a back button)
Game over screen (arrived at when the game ends)
Pause screen (pauses game and can access settings)
The following are some example transitions the user might make between these screens:
1->2->7->2->6 (starts new game, pauses game, returns to game, finishes game)
1->5->1->4->1 (views about screen, goes back to main, views score screen, goes back to main)
I'm really confused about when to have just one activity that switches layouts and when to create new activity classes. For example, when my game loads, I have a "main" activity that loads the main menu layout. When you click the settings button, I launch a "settings" activity (which uses android's standard settings GUI). For the moment, when you start a game, I switch the layout of "main" to the game screen layout (which just contains one big surface view). I'm not really sure what the best way to integrate the game over screen, high score screen, about screen etc.
Creating a new activity for each seems really heavy weight to me. There's quite a lot of boiler plate code involved for each activity. Plus, communication between activities seems like a pain as you have to use bundles. Using just one activity means I can just share object fields directly. It seems that using layouts for the above would be more compact. Can anyone give me some recommendations?
Android : Can't Create Multiple ListViews In One Activity
Mar 23, 2009I want to have multiple listviews in my activity. Every listview will have a different adapter and every item in the listview must be clickable (other actions for every listview).
So my problem now is that I can't create multiple clickable listviews. I have one listview like this <ListView android:id="@android:id/ list".. and the other listview looks like this <ListView android:id="@+id/ flightList"
The first listview looks like this in my activity hotelList = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
the second: listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.flightList);
I can click on the first list and it does what it has to do, but i cant do anything with the second list.. probably because it hasn't the android:id/list declaration. does someone knows how I can solve this problem or other suggestions how I can get multiple lists in 1 activity.
Android : How To Create Multiple Instances Of An Activity?
Jul 1, 2010I was wondering is it possible to create multiple instances of a single Activity in Android?
I currently start my own inCall screen for a Voip Test by using the following code...
This allows me to start the Activity fine. However when I call it for a second it just returns to the Activity already created rather than creating a new Activity and placing it on the stack.
I would like to be able to create the activity multiple times so that I have two or 3 Activities on the stack and the user can switch between them, using Home, Back buttons etc... Is this possible and if so what am I doing wrong?
