I'm trying to figure out how my Activity can detect if it was launched by an alias as opposed to by the main icon.
Is it possible to do this?
CODE:............
alias1 and alias2 appear as expected in the Launcher, but I don't see any way in multipleEntryPointTestActivity to tell which of these icons launched the application.

Is there a way to alias the path to my custom view class (perhaps in its <styleable>) so I can say <MyGreatView> in the XML, instead of <com.myco.myapps.MyGreatView>
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know the syntax for an XML file for a single bitmap drawable resource? What I'm looking to do is "alias" a drawable in my app. I have need for the same image with 2 different names, and rather than including the image twice in my res/drawable directory, I'd rather alias it (it's fairly large). In other words, instead of:
res/drawable/name1.png res/drawable/name2.png
I'd like to have:
res/drawable/name1.png res/drawable/name2.xml
where name2.xml looks SOMETHING like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <bitmap src="@drawable/name1" />
Is this possible? If so, any idea what the syntax should be? I can't find it in the docs, and I've had no luck with trial-and-error.

Applications can have any number of launchable activities. I know how to get the list of these activities via PackageManager.
Is there a way to determine which activities can be launched via startActivity?
For example, the Documents To Go app has different activities that will start Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc... I am able to launch all o these just fine.
However, it also contains some activities that I am not able to launch with startActivity... If I attempt to do this I get a SecurityException.
I want to be able to determine which activities I can safely launch and which I cannot so I only present the user with a list of activities that I can safely launch from within my application...

Like the title says, I need to detect when my app loses focus because another app is launched (Phone call comes in, or user hits Home etc.).
Overriding Activity.OnStop does not work because that is called even when switching activities within my app.

I am just starting on an Android app and I am puzzled about why my Task activity stack is being reset any time the application is launched from the Home screen. I used the ADT tools to create the application in Eclipse. The main activity is ".UserLaunch" and it starts the activity ".About" when the user presses a button. If the user then presses HOME and then relaunches the app, .UserLaunch is displayed and is the only thing on the stack.
.UserLaunch has the launchMode singleTask. .About is standard. According to the documentation at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#lmodes: "However, a "singleTask" activity may or may not have other activities above it in the stack. If it does, it is not in position to handle the intent, and the intent is dropped. (Even though the intent is dropped, its arrival would have caused the task to come to the foreground, where it would remain.) "The Task stack should be brought to the foreground and .About should still be displayed. I added Logging to all of the lifecycle events (edited to remove timestamps and shorten DEBUG/ and INFO/ to D/ and I/) and you can see that when HOME is pressed, .About cycles through onPause and onStop (as expected). Then when the app is again launched, .About is destroyed and .UserLaunch is restarted D/UserLaunch:(670): onCreate() D/UserLaunch:(670): onStart() D/UserLaunch:(670): onResume() I/ActivityManager(52): Displayed activity com.cequint.cityid/.UserLaunch: 4910 ms I/ActivityManager(52): Starting activity: Intent { comp= {com.cequint.cityid/com.cequint.cityid.About} } D/UserLaunch:(670): onPause() D/About(670): onCreate() D/About(670): onStart() D/About(670): onResume() I/ActivityManager(52): Displayed activity com.cequint.cityid/.About: 1031 ms D/UserLaunch:(670): onStop() I/ActivityManager(52): Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN categories= {android.intent.category.HOME} flags=0x10200000 comp= {com.android.launcher/com.android.launcher.Launcher} } D/About(670): onPause() D/About(670): onStop() D/dalvikvm(670): GC freed 413 objects / 34128 bytes in 72ms I/ActivityManager(52): Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN categories= {android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} flags=0x10200000 comp= {com.cequint.cityid/com.cequint.cityid.UserLaunch} } D/About(670): onDestroy() D/UserLaunch:(670): onRestart() D/UserLaunch:(670): onStart() D/UserLaunch:(670): onResume() Here is the relevant section of the Manifest: <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/ app_name"> <activity android:name=".UserLaunch" android:label="@string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleTask" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".About" android:launchMode="standard"> </activity> </application> Anyone have any ideas why this is always resetting the Activity Stack?

There are return values and such that allow handling if SensorManager sensors and location providers aren't available, but what about the camera and microphone for audio recording? Is there a way to detect those in software, or are we just to assume that every device running Android (even the rumored set-top box) is going to have a camera and microphone and try to use them?
In the case of the camera, it would seem that Camera.open() returning null would indicate the lack of hardware. I don't know if that assumption is valid or not, though, considering it isn't documented as such.
In the case of the microphone, though, I don't see anything that could possibly be checked. The same goes for the camera if you're wanting to do video with the MediaRecorder class.
I have hooked in a ScaleGestureDetector to an OnTouchListener as instructed in Android documentation. For some reason the ScaleGestureDetector does not always detect end of a pinch gesture. This happens mostly when pinching fast from large to small.
The effect is that after I have released both fingers the detector does not fire the gesture end event. If I touch the screen with one afterwards it still thinks I'm continuing the scale gesture (keeps firing onScale events). I have to do another gesture to get the detector to fire end event.
I have added logs to the OnTouchListener and when the scale gesture gets stuck I still get motion events normally when using one finger and event.getPointerCount() is 1.
I have made sure that I don't have any other listeners intervening. View that has the onTouchListener is not the only view on screen but this effect happens also when I'm very careful to begin and end the gesture inside this one view.
Is there any way to improve the end detection?
Or if there a way for me to manually set the ScaleGestureDetector to fire onScaleEnd and change scaleGestureDetector.isInProgress() to false?
