Android : How To Start An App After A Force Stop?

Oct 22, 2010

If I Force Stop an app (via Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Any App->Force Stop) will the app ever start up automatically again or is the only way to start it up again to have the user start it. I have an app that starts a service. The service registers an alarm I've defined, with the Alarm Manager and this is recieved as expected. In my manifest I've defined a TimerIntentReceiver, to receive that alarm I've defined. If I Force Stop the app then is it possible to have the Alarm Manager "wake" my app up via the TimerIntentReceiver I've defined. I'm not seeing this happen. Once I Force Stop my app it never runs again unless I manually start it. Is there anything I can listen for, apart from BOOT_COMPLETE, to start up my app? Or does the user always have to start all apps.

Android :: Whats Fastest Way To Force Stop?

Aug 6, 2010

I've done a search but found nothing. It seems like when I have to force stop an application, it takes me 8-10 button presses to accomplish it (menu-settings-applications-manage applications-sort by size-sort az-find application-scroll down-force stop). It's just not easy. Especially if I'm driving or jogging. Is there a quick and simple way to force stop an application?

Android :: Force Service To Stop After Fixed Time?

Oct 14, 2010

I have a service which runs in the background when the user starts using my app. I am using it to do some posts to our server. I always close my service by calling stopSelf as soon as the posts have been made or failed.

But I recently observed two times that my service did not stop. I saw that in the running services in settings on my device that it has been sitting there for over a few hours.

So I was trying to see if I can alternatively set a timer using which I can force the service to stop after a few minutes no matter what.

HTC EVO 4G :: Force Stop Safe To Do?

Sep 14, 2010

I've read about how task killers aren't necessarily good because of the way they FC apps, so I'm wondering, is it safe to go into my Running Apps list and Force Stop certain apps? I'm thinking of apps like Amazon MP3, Maps, Peep, Facebook, Fandango, etc. General things like that, nothing system-important.

Android :: Force WVGA Droid Browser To Stop Scaling Images?

May 9, 2010

I'm designing an HTML page for display in Android browsers. Consider this simple example page:

<html>
<head><title>Simple!</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><img src="http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png"></p>
</body>
</html>

It looks just fine on the standard HVGA phones (320x480), but on HDPI WVGA sizes (480x800 or 480x854) the built-in browser automatically scales the image up; it looks ugly.

I've read that I should be able to use this tag to force the browser to stop scaling my page:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; minimum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />

... but all that does is disable user scaling (the zoom buttons disappear); it doesn't actually prevent the browser from scaling my image. Adjusting the scale factors (setting them all to 2.0 or 0.5) has no effect at all.

How can I force the WVGA browser to stop scaling my images?

HTC EVO 4G :: How To Restore Sense After Force Stop?

Jun 27, 2010

A few weeks ago I switched my EVO 4G to the standard Android 2.1 UI through the widely publicized "clear defaults" and "force stop", then pressing "Home" and selecting to default to the Android launcher. This worked very well. Unfortunately for me, I thought this was just going to be a test drive. I wanted to see how it compared to Sense UI, but now I can't figure out how to re-activate Sense. According to the description of the process for other Android phones with Sense, you are supposed to be able to turn Sense back on by doing essentially the same process. Select application "HTC Sense", and do "clear defaults" and "force stop" again. Then press the Home button, and select to default to Sense UI when asked.

This doesn't work on my EVO 4G. When I perform these steps, pressing the Home button has no effect. There is no popup asking which UI to use as default. The standard Android UI remains in effect. I've done a fair amount of google searching, but haven't seen any explanation how to do this so far. I'm hoping that it's possible without wiping the phone back to its initial state. Anyone know how to restore Sense? I'd like to experiment with it, at least until the day Froyo comes out for it.

HTC Desire :: Browser Lockup _ Force Stop Internet App?

Aug 8, 2010

On both 2.1 & 2.2 I have found that occasionally the browser progress bar will only get 90% before becoming getting stuck. You can try as many times as you like to view the page but it will always get stuck.The only way I have found to cure this is to force stop the internet app, then everything is fine again. Anyone else seen this or know how to stop it occurring?

Android :: Android 1.5 - Asynctask DoInBackground Not Called / Method Called

Oct 26, 2010

I am running into an issue with the way my asynctasks are executed. Here's the problem code:

firstTask = new background().new FirstTask(context);
if(firstTask.execute().get().toString().equals("1"))
secondTask = new background().new SecondTask(context);

What I'm doing here is creating a new asynctask object, assigning it to firstTask and then executing it. I then want to fire off a separate asynctask when the first one is done and making sure it returns a success value (1 in this case). This works perfectly on Android 2.0 and up. However, I am testing with Android 1.5 and problems start popping up. The code above will run the first asynctask but doInBackground() is never called despite onPreExecute() being called. If I am to execute the first task without the get() method, doInBackground() is called and everything works as expected. Except now I do not have a way to determine if the first task completed successfully so that I can tell the second task to execute. Is it safe to assume that this is a bug with asynctask on Android 1.5? Especially since the API says that the get method has been implemented since API 3. Is there any way to fix this? Or another way to determine that the first task has finished?

Service Doesn't Stop When Asked To Stop

Aug 2, 2012

Okay when user presses log out button what's supposed to happen is:

Code:
stopService(myIntent);
unbindService(mConnection);
mIsBound = false;

I need to shut down the service on background.Except the service restarts itself over and over again! Even if I kill the program from task manager the service restarts itself. Other programs aren't using the service. when I uninstalled the program the foreground program information popped up indicating it was STILL there(albeit this I solved by rebooting phone).

When user says he's finished with the program 'least he can expect is for the program to stay down rather than keep eating battery by acquiring GPS signal and sending them to server. The program is not intended to be "once you log in you need to Uninstall me and reboot phone to get rid of me!" type of program!

Android :: OnKeyDown Not Always Called In App

Oct 20, 2009

I've created a simple android game, based on the Lunar Lander sample, and I'm having a problem with handling key events.When the activity starts, the only keys that onKeyDown or onKeyUp get called for are the dpad up/down/left/right keys.Neither the menu, back, or dpad_center keys trigger onKey methods. However, once I've pushed one of the dpad up/down/left/right buttons, pressing the menu, back, or dpad_center keys do trigger these methods. I'm not getting any errors, or any indication of what's going wrong.It's possible that the focus is set wrong - the activity is started from a button on screen, so it could be in touchscreen mode. If that's the case, shouldn't touching the back button get me in to the right focus mode so that I can catch the event?I'm using the emulator from SDK-1.5r3.I have not been able to try this on a real phone yet.

Android :: OnLowMemory Not Getting Called

Apr 6, 2010

I'm working on an application which allocates lot of memory and hence I'm bound to get OutOfMemory. I want a way to get notified when system is running short of memory so that I can stop processing further, notify user and release as much memory as possible.

According to official Android documentation there is a callback onLowMemory from the system. I have a class which extends android.app.Application and I have overridden onLowMemory() method. This class has entry in the in the application tag of AndroidManifest. However it never gets called in my case. Do I need to register for this event using AndroidManifest or any other means?

Android :: OnContextMenuClosed() Not Called Under 2.x

Jan 1, 2010

In one of my applications I programmatically open the context menu when something is clicked in my MapActivity overlay. This works perfectly under 1.x as well as on my 2.0 Milestone. I've used showContextMenuForChild() historically, but openContextMenu() does that same thing.

As expected onCreateContextMenu() is called to build the menu and then onContextItemSelected() is called when something is selected. So far all is well.

The odd thing is that under 1.x the onContextMenuClosed() method is called when I press the back key, but not so under 2.0. This confuses states for my app since I need to know whether menu is shown or not - or maybe there is a way to know this that I have not (yet) figured out...

Is this a deliberate change or should I file it as a bug? Googling comes up pretty dry (stuff that is over a year old).

Anyone with a 2.0.1 Droid that would care to test whether this has already been fixed? (The ETA for Milestone 2.0.1 seems hazy still, but it appears that at least one of my reported bugs has been fixed in 2.0.1 event though it isn't flagged as such.)

Android :: OnSurfaceCreated Called Twice

Oct 27, 2010

Is there a way to make sure onSurfaceCreated is called only once during startup.

Currently in my app it gets called once with say 800x480 then it gets called a second time with 480x800. I guess this is probably due to a call to setRequestedOrientation in onCreate. Is there any way to make sure the app starts in a particular orientation, to prevent orientation changes, and to have onSurfaceCreated get called only once during start up?
