Android : Disable Launch At Startup / How To Fix?
Oct 19, 2010
I have plenty of applications that I only use like once a month or even less. Yet, many are always on, for no reason. What are my options to make it so that they ONLY run when I need them? I saw that they are apps that constantly watch the processes and kill them every time they appear. That doesn't seem like a great approach, not very efficient. And What if I want to use the app?

I have a need to create a background service that starts up during the system boot up, and keeps running until the device is powered down. There is no UI or Activity associated with this. I created a class extending the android Service class, and added the setttings to the AndroidManifest.xml file. When I launch this service in the emulator, I don't see this launched at all. I have overrided almost all the methods in the Service class to put log statements, but none of them shows up.

I have a ListActivity and a MapActivity. I would like to launch either one of these activities on application startup that has been chosen by the user in a preferences window.
So far the only way I see to launch an activity on application startup is to specify it in the application manifest file using...code...
I am thinking I might have to start an activity that does nothing but looks at the user preferences and then launches either the ListActivity or MapActivity. Seems like a waste to have an activity do nothing but launch another activity. In my research I have not found any solution to this problem.

I want to make my app launched when the Android OS startup. I can make it, but when the Android OS startup, the screen lock is launched, how can I remove the screen lock launch so that I can get into my app directly? I am doing this in my embedded system.

Anyone else notice all of the default startup apps when the phone is booted? Is this to help speed up the launch of the app? Is there a way to disable the startup apps?

Hi, i'm a new EVO user. i use the gmail app and have no need for HTC Mail, yet i can't seem to disable it. i tried the hold-down-and-touch-remove method; no dice. i tried going to settings -> applications -> Manage apps -> Mail HTC, but i can't disable the 'launch by default'.

Every time I plug the phone into my computer to charge it, it launched the verizon vcast website.
Is there any way to disable this "feature".
Also it seems my camera button "rocks" from side to side a little... anyone else also see this?

Every time I start my phone it seems that every program in the app catalog starts up. Until I activate the Advanced Task Killer and shut them all down, the thing runs like a hog. I have quite a few programs installed, but I dont use them all all of the time. Why do they all start up and is there any way beside the ATK to stop them? Is there any way to modify the startup files?

Is there any way to get an app to run at startup? There is a volume control app (ladybug icon) that I use to keep my ringer volume always at vibrate. When I accidentally hit the volume rocker, the app returns the ringer to vibrate. However, I must remember to run the app when I restart the Droid. So, is there anyway to have it run when the Droid powers on? Or is that something that would have to involve rooting?

Other than downloading a 3rd party application that auto-starts apps on boot, is there a way within the OS itself to autostart programs when the phone reboots? I have a few apps I use for work and would be nice if they autostarted on my Droid without having to launch each one independently.

I've been modifying/editing parts of the Android platform, but have run into a problem when trying to test my edits. After making my changes to the platform source, I was able to successfully compile the source - thus creating system.img, ramdisk.img, and userdata.img. When I go to test this in the emulator, the emulator just hangs on the "ANDROID_" screen, with the underscore blinking, but never seems to load. Any suggestions? The command I used to run the emulator is as follows:
./emulator -system $HOME/android/platform/out/target/product/generic/system.img -ramdisk $HOME/android/platform/out/target/product/generic/ramdisk.img -data $HOME/android/platform/out/target/product/generic/userdata.img

I have Listpreferences in my app. They don't appear to be setting to their defaults right after installation - they appear to be null. I'm trying to figure out why my default preferences are not being set right after installation.
In my main code I have:
CODE:......
Right after the above code executes, each variable contains "defValue" instead of the actual values I have assigned in my ListPreference below.
My preference xml file is called, "settings.xml". Here's what one of the ListPreferences there looks like:
CODE:.............
Here's what some of my strings.xml file looks like:
CODE:.................
When I go to menu, and then settings, I can see my defaults checked (radiobuttoned). Then when I go back from the settings menu to my main screen - all is well - for life! ...then each var above is assigned the proper default value.
This only happens when I first install my app on the phone. After I go to the settings screen once and then right out of it, the app is fine and accepts any setting changes.
By the way, as you can see, "List1" is the android:key within a file called settings.xml in my res/xml folder.

1) I have a Spinner with several options provided by an ArrayAdapter and have an onItemSelected listener on this Spinner. When selecting an item from the spinner, I want to display another view (list-view) but this method is unintentionally invoked upon initially displaying the view. The list-view is therefore displayed upon startup of the application. It is possible to add a spinner-on-item-select listener that won't fire upon initially displaying the view but only by the user selecting an item?

I have a Nuvifone A50 (Garmin-asus), after wiping all data on the device, i can't accept areements, application is crashing and back to step 1.I'm SURE the phone is perfectly working exept this, so if i can bypass this, the phone will work. I tried restoring the .img file, same problem.
Pictures:
Step1 after starting the phone: screen.nicow .me/5lBhSuMUDu.jpg
Step2 screen.nicow .me/rpbOtMjVBI.jpg
Step3 screen.nicow .me/vEVrnJin1g.jpg
Step4 screen.nicow .me/TFQSv4cvVf.jpg
And after the force close, back to step 1.I can access the file system via USB, nothing more. I can also dial(and i can call).

I am struggling trying to have the soft keyboard appear in a search screen and from the looks of numerous pleas on various forums, I am not the only one. I have tried many variants, culling from the byzantine attempts of those others.
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService
(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.showSoftInput (query, 0);
(for 0, substitute InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED or InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT.)
The problem seems to be that showSoftInput doesn't work from onCreate. This is a very common need. Surely there is a reasonable solution to this problem, or is it botched here?

I am displaying some data in a ScrollView. On activity startup (method onCreate) I fill the ScrollView with data and want to scroll to the bottom. I tried to use:
getScrollView().fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN).
This works when I make it as an action on button click but it doesn't work in the onCreate method. Is there any way how to scroll the ScrollView to the bottom on activity startup? That means the view is already scrolled to the bottom when first time displayed.

I am trying to change the screen size of the emulator and see on the site that they tell you what commands to use, but it doesnt' tell you HOW to do it. how I would change the screen size. I believe this occurs on startup. I have eclipse as well, but would rather just shell into it and change it whenever I want.

I'm using a Drioid Eris version 2.1. When I turn on my phone it stays on the starting screen (the androids on skateboards) and won't go to the next one. I think it may have happened after I updated my SD Card Reader app because that's the only thing I can think of that caused this problem, thought it might be something else. How do I fix this?
