Android :: Does Platform Maintain Any History Entry When Pressed Home Key
Jun 15, 2010
While developing a sample android application I have constructed two activities
1)Activity 1
2)Activity 2
Now Activity 2 is the foreground activity whereas Activity 1 is the background one. Now user presses Home key. The application(i.e. both the activities) disappear. Now is we relaunch the application we see Activity 1 as the foreground activity. My question is:
1)Does the platform maintain any history entry when pressed home key?
2)How do we take the user to the last launch activity on relaunching the application?

I have a problem and that is my SplashScreen I have. It is built as an intro and after 3 seconds it shows the main menu of the program. Anyway, if I press down Back or Home button during the time the SplashScreen shows, it closes, but the activity I have chosen to follow after the SplashScreen will still run after the three seconds.
My code: **UPDATED CODE**
Handler ur = new Handler();
myRun = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
mainIntent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this,MyApp.class);
SplashScreen.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
SplashScreen.this.finish();..........................

Is there a way to delete a single entry in your call history without deleting the rest of your call history? I've been going through all the menus but I can't seem to find a way to delete just one number.
Also, I used to own a Palm Treo 650 (Palm OS). With it, you could literally hide single contacts by setting a contact privacy password. This setting was deep in the settings and upon finishing setting it up, you could password lock that menu as well, the title of it and all. So this way, if you hand your phone to a colleague for them to make a quick call, they can't go through your phonebook or recents to try to get your numbers.
I bring this up because a few years ago, this lady I worked with let another co-worker use her phone to make a call and the lady ended up copying a specific number from the woman's recent list without her knowledge. She took the number and harassed the person so much they had to get a restraining order on her. And it was later found out the only way she could have gotten the number is the time she let the woman use her phone.
Call me paranoid but the Treo offered that security feature and I haven't seen it since. Is there any way to do this on the EVO that I just may be missing?
Also, does anyone know of something like a "guest mode" app on the marketplace where the guest can only use what you allow them to and not have access to recents or phonebook, like, just the core function, like sms/mms, net, phone, or calc, etc.

I saw another thread related to this question, but did not find the answer that was useful to me. Is it possible when the user presses the Home button to be able to finish() my activity somewhere? I saw that people were having problems with using onStop(). Has anyone found a resolution to see if this is always called on Home being pressed?

I'm trying to do something which really ought to be quite easy, but it's driving me crazy. I'm trying to launch an activity when a home screen widget is pressed, such as a configuration activity for the widget. I think I've followed word for word the tutorial on the Android Developers website, and even a few unofficial tutorials as well, but I must be missing something important as it doesn't work.

like many others, I want to kill my Android application on "exit" button. Really kill, not just move to background and stop all active code. (I know very well that Android does not like it.) I found Process.killProcess(Process.myPid()); and System.exit(0) which both work fine (I have no problem with activity stack, the "exit" button is in my base Activity.). But there is a problem. When I kill my process and I am back in the shell, I press [Home] button. It shows list of applications that are on the background including my application which has been killed.
Is there a way how to do both: 1) kill the process and 2) remove it from the Android application list that is shown after user presses [Home] button? Thanks for all replays (with the exception of that stupid "you should not exit applications explicitly on Android"

I'm writing program for Android (SDK 1.5). I would like to know how to add/register one of my program activities in "Home Screen -> Menu -> Add-> Shortcuts" (or on Hero "Home Screen -> Menu -> Add to Home-> Shortcut") so that user will be able to add it to his home screen. Is there an Intent Filter or any other way to achieve that?

I did a halfa** search of jsut this fourm because I'm at work and it is the only one I can get to. I was wondering if any of the rooted Linix gurus around these parts knew of an easy set of commands I can type using ADB, or a quick patch that would return my phone to the home screen when end call is pressed. It is drivig me crazy. I know about the program NotCallLog, but before I install yet another program onto my baby.

As an experiment, I would like to use the platform key of my custom built Android platform to sign an arbitrary APK, that is built via the NDK. What is the process to go about doing this?

The requirement is totally simple: I want to have a lite and pro version of an app. There is a little bit of difference between those two apps, but they are 99% identically. Unfortunately it seems that the best choice is to really treat this as two projects that are one and the same and copy over the source code and assets from one to the other. The Android Manifest file must be different, because the Android Market - for some reason - makes the implementation's package name the ID. Working around this ID issue the straight forward approach would be to have a third project with the common code that exports its code, libraries and in a best case scenario also the ressources to the other two objects. Unfortunately this doesn't work. Only the actual Android projects generate the R.class and so the common project would need to be dependent on it..

According to the instructions found here, to make your app state which screen sizes you can support, you'll need to compile your app against Android 1.6.

During my game loop I am constantly loading images using BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.objectx); Most of the time I'm calling images that have already been decoded earlier. Am I slowing down execution by decoding the resource every time? Is it better to store every image into a Map (or Dictionary) at the beginning of the program? If so, how do you get the resource IDs for all images in the drawable folder?

I would like to know if its possible to prevent my application from looking different every time I run it on a different android phone. For example, on stock 2.2, my seek bar (with default values and theme) has an orange color for the selected portion, whereas on a Samsung Galaxy S (with 2.1), it is green. Also the tab background is grey in stock 2.2, but blue in Galaxy S. On a similar note, my rating bar changes size too. I do not implement multiple screen resolutions and all my drawables are located in the "drawables" folder under "res". I donot specify a minimum sdk requirement.

My ListActivity is bound to an ArrayAdapter where I have overriden the getView() method. If I change the visibility of a widget in that method or modify the view's background color, those changes somehow get lost once that modified list item returns after being scrolled off the screen. In fact, some other view in the list is picking up the changes. How do I get the modified view to look the same when it's redisplayed after scrolling?

I have two spinners in an activity, A and B. Each spinner uses an arrayAdapter linked to one or more string-arrays from an XML file. I need multiple because B's values are populated depending on what is selected in A.

This usually happens when the user hits "Home", does something else, then eventually wanders back into the app - it attempts to go back to where it was before, but the application Context has mysteriously lost all its previously-saved state information (in my case, a few integers and a few Strings). I know this is a very vague question, but are there any cases (other than the user using "back" to back completely out of the application) where the application Context gets completely destroyed even though the application is not terminated? Is there a better way to maintain persistent state information?

Question?
How can you remove the "Most Visited" and "History" from the left screen off the home menu?
They just take up space.
Or can someone recommend a good menu customizer?

Is there an app that I can use to maintain the balances of multiple credit cards? The app does not need to be able to directly access the credit card's balances online (straight thru online banking), but I must be able to add transactions and update it manually. I also should be able to manage multiple cards without the app adding the balances of all cards into a grand total (balance).

Well, not sure if this was already somewhere else, but I looked and couldn't find it, so I'm gonna ask here...
What are the required APKs to maintain running the Android OS? I have root access on my Eris, and was tinkering around with a bit with removing some of the preinstalled APKs such as YouTube and stuff like that, just wondering how much I can delete and work to create my own system to a certain extent. Anyone that can let me know what I need would be nice.

I have built an app for the Motorola Droid which should automatically update a server with the phone's location. After the user performs a particular task on the main activity screen, an alarm is set to update the user's location periodically, using a service. The alarm is explicitly stopped when the user completes another task. Thing is, I have set up a location manager within the main activity's onCreate() method which is supposed to place the first acquired lat/long into two textview fields. Even though the manifest is set up for acquiring coarse and fine coords and I'm using requestLocationUpdates (String provider, long minTime, float minDistance, LocationListener listener), with minTime and minDistance set to zero, I'm not seeing the coords coming up on the screen.
With that, I'm not recording any locations on the server. When I seed the textviews with sample coords, they are being recorded fine on the server. I am not at a computer that can run the IDE, so don't currently have the code, but am desperate for some help on this. One other thing is that the main activity screen calls a photography app before the user manually clicks "send data". I'm suspicious that I may need to override the main activity's onResume() method to do this location acquisition.

I'm developing one of my first Android apps. I come from an ASP.NET world where it's trivial to have separate Web.config files for dev, test, and production. Does anyone have a good, automated way of doing this for Android via Eclipse?
