Android :: Detecting Android Usage Inactivity And Setting A Future Alarm - Intent To Trigger

Sep 15, 2010

I have a repeating alarm setting, I have the activity being launched, the piece I'm missing is having this triggered after x minutes of inactivity.

I'm considering keying off of SCREEN_OFF in a service and then setting an alarm and canceling it on SCREEN_ON, does anyone have an intent or other suggestion for this. I've considering polling for tasks, all kinds of pieces but I'm stuck.

Requirement:
- App launches, alarm is set to relaunch app after 5 minutes, user exits/app exits after one minute
- alarm triggers, detects phone is in use, resets alarm to trigger in fives minutes
- if phone is idle relaunches app for one minute

Android :: Observing User Inactivity Time And Broadcasting Intent After Timeout

Dec 14, 2009

As in android, after inactvity of screen off timeout, android screen goes off. So here android itself uses some activity observer, to know whether user is currently active or not. I need not every keystroke or touch event with details, just knowing that user is active and getting a broadcastreceiver after some timeout value. Does anybody know something related to activity observing ? I got the code from in frameworks where it broadcast, but I am still figuring out code in android that monitors user activity.I am open to modify code frameworks too. || Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare || || Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare ||

Android : Intent To Trigger A Dialog Only?

Apr 9, 2009

I want to expose a portion of my app with an intent that will only display a simple dialog box for system setting. The only way I currently know how to do this is to have an activity that accepts an intent. In the activity I don't use setContentView. I only create and show the dialog. The activity is finished after you press OK from the dialog.

This is kind of okay, but the activity shows as a black backdrop under the dialog, until you press OK which brings you back to the last application. I'd like to just be able to show the dialog on top of the calling Activity. Any idea on how this can be done? CAN it be done?

Jun 13, 2010

I've been searching a way to implement an intent so when a user clicks on a notification, an specific method from an activity is executed (or an specific behavior happens). Right now I'm thinking about using broadcast but I don't know if this is the best way to implement this functionality. How would you implement it?

Setting Multiple Alarms That Will Trigger Every Day

Apr 9, 2013

I have to set multiple alarms (upto 5) that will trigger everyday, in my application. I tried to create an array of AlarmManager instances but it didn't worked. Here is the code fragment I used for this.

[HIGH]AlarmManager[] alarmManager = new AlarmManager[totalAlarmsInDay];

for(int i = 0; i < totalAlarmsInDay; i++) {
alarmManager[i] = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, i, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager[i].setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, calendar.getTimeInMillis() + i * 15*60*1000, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
}[/HIGH]

Android :: Permissions Related To Dev - Alarm And Setting The System

Apr 10, 2009

I understand that userland apps on android cannot set the system clock. Wanting to know more about how the security mechanism is set up for the system I did some digging around in the source code.

/dev/alarm is opened R/W to set the system clock using SystemClock.setCurrentTimeMillis.

How the permissions work to determine whether or not an application has permission to set the clock.

I assume it's just a user level permission, and the write bit for /dev/ alarm is only enabled for the "system user" and not the "userland user" applications run under.

Android :: Create Battery Usage Intent Android

Sep 9, 2010

On my nexus one, there is a handy app reachable from Settings > About Phone > Battery use.

I'd like to StartActivity() that app from one of my Activities.

I can see in the log that when Settings runs it, this intent is logged:

Starting activity:
Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=com.android.settings/.fuelgauge.PowerUsageSummary }

I'm having trouble relating that to something in Android Java source. I can't even find "fuelgauge" in the GIT source.

Android :: Which Intent Flags When Setting Pending Intents?

Apr 30, 2010

I have one WidgetProvider but expect the user to have multiple instances of the widget on the home screen. When the user clicks on the widget, an intent is fired to start an activity A passing a String extra (which is specific to that instance of the app widget). Everything works fine unless the activity is already running, in which case the activity is shown in its previous state (and so the intent extra data is ignored). I've tried using various Intent flags (like FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) but they don't seem to help.

Android :: Catching An Action Without Setting An Intent Filter?

Jan 11, 2010

I'm trying to catch an action like ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG. But I think it might be too much to set this action on the manifest file.

How could I register a listener for this action? I only need to care about it when my application is running not all the time as I think it would happen when registering it under the manifest file...

Android :: Setting An Alarm - Occur Repeatedly - Hence Using AlarmManager.setRepeating

Apr 10, 2010

In my android app, I'm setting an alarm that I want to occur repeatedly, hence using AlarmManager.setRepeating().

I don't want to keep track of whether the alarm is set myself (sounds like a bad idea that's prone to fail at some point), and there seems to be no API support for checking whether a particular alarm is already set for a given Intent.

Hence, I am pessimistically resetting the alarm each time my app activates:

alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
...
alarmManager.setRepeating(..., pendingIntent);

Question: is calling setRepeating() idempotent i.e. do I need to explicitly cancel() any prior alarm or can I safely just call setRepeating() and be done with it?

Android :: Setting Intent Extra Value That's An Array Of String And Integer

Aug 3, 2010

I have a program that sends a broadcast Intent that needs an "extra" value.The value is declared as being of type Object[], though I know that the elements are always of type Integer or String.That's part of an API not under my control. What's the most concise and/or efficient way to do the equivalent of the putExtra call below?

HTC EVO 4G :: Phone Not Sleep - Inactivity Timer Kicks

I used to be able to sleep my evo just by pressing the power button. Now I have to wait until the inactivity timer kicks in before the screen goes black. If I wake it up using the button and fail to slide to unlock then I can get it to sleep by pressing the top button as usual. I installed "spare parts" and had to force a delete because of several hangs and weirdness. Now I have this sleep problem.

Android :: Future OS Releases

With being a wireless industry professional for 15 years now, I have come across many different types of devices, OS's, just about it all.I wanted to love Windows mobile couldnt take the constant crashing.I wanted to love the Palm 650 well, I wont even go into that.I gave Symbian (Nokia E61) about a minute with good intentions before I was bored.I loved my BlackBerry for years feel like they are old school now.I would never use AT&T again, so the iPhone is out love my iPod Touch though.Having just gotten my first Android device, I can honestly say that while I am very impressed with the OS and its capabilities, I long to understand some of the things left out of ANY of these operating systems.
