View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an EditText and a button set next to each other on the same horizontal line. It looks great, except when the user enters a lot of text, the EditText is resized, and the button is squished. I have both EditText and Button set to layout_width="wrap_content". "fill_parent" messes up the layout, and I don't want to use absolute sizes if I don't have to - the way it is now looks great in both landscape and portrait, I just don't want the EditText to resize.

With this sample code, the activity is told to finish, but continues execution afterwards and displays the message. I'm trying to understand why this happens. The only fix I can think of is to place 'return' after finish.
public void someMethod() {
if( valueIsTrue) {
startActivity(new Intent(this, NewActivity.class));
CurrentActitivy.this.finish();
// return; // if uncommented, Toast doesn't show
}
Toast.maketext(this, "Some message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();}

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want an EditText to look like TextView but still behave like EditText. I've tried applying TextView style to my EditText in my layout.xml file, like this:
CODE:............
But I get an error within xml editor: "Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'style' with value '@android:style/ Widget_TextView')." It is strange because @android:style/ Widget_TextView definitively exists - I double checked it in code via android.R.style.Widget_TextView. Another strange thing is that I don't get android:style offered in the xml editor while typing? There is android:id, android:text and everything else.. but not android:style?
I consider the hard way (making EditText look like TextView) to be: extending EditText and overriding it's onDraw method.
Our app (WordPress for Android) uses a ScrollView for the new blog post view. The issue is that if a user writes a lengthy blog post in the EditText, they are unable to scroll inside of the EditText because the ScrollView seems to be taking over the scrolling action, even when you are in the EditText.
Here's the layout XML (the EditText in question is @id/content):

View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does.
I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText.

I have this at the top of my application. When the application starts, the EditText is orange highlighted and has a cursor in it; when the EditText is tapped, the soft keyboard pops up. The user uses it to type into the EditText.
However, when they click the Button, my onClick method fires and does everything it's supposed to, however the soft keyboard stays on screen and the EditText is still highlighted with its cursor.
I also have, at the top of the Button onclick: findViewById(R.id.name).clearFocus();
In spite of this, the EditText does not seem to clear its focus. How do I make the button actually act as if it is submitting the form?
Also, I do not transition to a different Activity on the click of the Button. I suppose that is the typical case, and probably the reason why they don't bother hiding the keyboard. However I want to keep the search box and button at the top of the screen, so I just dynamically fill and add views to the screen when the Button is pressed. How can I achieve my desired behavior?
We all know that hitting the back button on the device doesn't kill the application, it merely finishes (destroys) the activity running on the foreground.
Well I have come across some code which helps me capture the back button signal so that I cannot exit the application. The only way to exit it in such cases is to press the home key.
Now this situation presents me with a unique disadvantage! The inability to kill finish the application on a time of my own choosing allows the application to keep running in the background like nothing has changed.
So in such cases is the task manager my only friend or is there a way for me to otherwise kill this application?
I see no means by which my activity can pop itself off the activity stack to return the user to the one he was using before it was invoked. Is there one? My purpose is that my app has some data structures built from data provider queries that take 5-15 seconds to assemble and I don't want a lot of latency if it is used in a few one-shot purposes in rapid succession. I'm more than willing to let the system ask my app to die, but I'd like to keep warmed and ready otherwise.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have one activity call a camera view activity, and in the onActivityResult, I have it start that activity again with different parameters. Android doesn't seem to like that, and gives me an error that the camera is not available if I start it right after it returns. I tried just waiting a few seconds, but this doesn't seem to work on all phones, and it sometimes crashes. Is there some way to wait until that activity finishes properly, and gives up all resources?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've got an application that has (among other things) three Activities, let's call them A, B, and C. A is the main navigation point for the entire application, and launches B and C directly using startActivity(). They work fine that way. However, when I call C from inside B, I get a strange problem. The code for launching Activity C is exactly the same in both places. The problem is the hardware back button. In the emulator, it takes two presses of the back button in order to close Activity C and come back to B. On a G1, it takes 3 or 4 presses. Upon seeing this, I implemented the usual suspects in C - onPause(), onStop(), and onDestroy(), and onResume() in B. When I press the back button from C and it doesn't work, I get onPause(), onStop(), onDestroy () - in that order, but nothing happens. When it works (on press 3 or 4 on the G1), I get onPause(), then onResume() in B, then onStop() and onDestroy().
I've tried catching the key press of the back button and calling finish (), but that doesn't make a difference. Has anyone seen this? To pre-empt some questions: All C does is display some data. There are no threads or any other special resources that C might have an active handle to that's preventing it from closing. But out of curiosity, if it did, how would I detect that? Any ideas for further diagnostics here?
I have an EditText field and I want to pop up a new window/activity whenever a user touches/clicks the field. The new window has some widgets and of course Apply and Cancel buttons. Here is the code how I intercept the onTouch event.
EditText ctlMaskEt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.mask_field); ctlMaskEt.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { public boolean onTouch (View v, MotionEvent event) { popMaskEditor(); return true; } });
Everythings work fine until I click the Apply and Cancel buttons. The API finish() won't close the new window unless I click the same button one more time. Calling popMaskEditor() from a button's OnClick event handler doesn't have this problem.
I had the 1.5 android emulator starting from Eclipse perfectly nicely.... until yesterday when it suddenly won't finish booting. I haven't installed anything new (Running it on Windows Vista - i know, uck, but I'm waiting for Win 7 to hurry up), haven't even changed the java code I am trying to run. The emulator starts up, get's to the point where it shows "Android" with the nice lighting effect that goes from left to right over it and then just stays in that state. Last night I tested it by starting it up, going out to the living room, watching two hour long episodes of the first series of Doctor Who, and then coming back in (Essentially giving it 1.5 hours to do it's stuff) - it was still stuck in that state. Any ideas what I did wrong?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been developing a game on Android and wrote a wrapper for J2ME classes,
When notifyDestroyed() is called in my ME program and calling finish() but the application doesn't close correctly.
The App goes to background and when launched again it shows an error message and presents an option to "force close" the App, if i force close it and launch again, the app launches fine but again the same has to be repeated upon every launch..
Can you please explain why the App is not being erased from memory when finish() is called.
when i check the log i found no exceptions when closing but when launched again it throws a null pointer exception.
for now to work around I placed "System.exit(0)" after calling finish () so that the app is exited abruptly, but am waiting for a valid answer on whats going on behind...?
I've been using code like: activity.finish(); activity.startActivity(new Intent(activity, activity.getClass()));
in two places: onResume(), and in an onClick() method of an AlertDialog. I'm getting the desired results when the code is called from onClick(), but I get mysterious null pointer exceptions while the runtime is trying to execute my onPause(). Is calling finish() from within one of the Activity lifecycle callbacks always a bad idea?
This code makes me nervous even though it works in the onClick(). After I call activity.finish(), I would think activity is in a questionable state by the time activity.startActivity() is invoked. Seems like an invitation to race conditions.
My use case is setting UI preferences (e.g. a different layout) in a PreferenceActivity. When I return to the main activity's onResume(), I check for preference changes and if a new layout is requested, I use the code snippet above.
In main Activity, I called start Activity For Result(intentB, 100) to start a new activity B, then in B, I called startActivity(intentC) to start another activity C. Lastly I wanted to call finish Activity(100) in C to close activity B, but seemed it was not successfully destroyed(I can use BACK key to see it's still there.)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a parent activity (as ACTIVITY GROUP) and some child activity of this parent activity (as ACTIVITY).
I am just calling child1 now i want to move from child1 to child2 and just want to finish() child1.
But when i am calling finish() it is also finishing the parent activity.
I've heard that pressing the back button will essentially cause the current Activity to finish(). Is this always the case? Seems like it would be with the way it pops the Activity off the stack.
The one situation I'm not so sure about is when the root Activity in a Task has back pressed. I'm currently experiencing a very weird effect, described as follows:
On loading my application, the first Activity is for initialization, and once it finishes, it calls my main Activity (a TabActivity). This first init activity has android:noHistory="true" set in the Manifest so pressing Back from my main Activity won't go back to that. It goes to the Launcher. When I click on my App in the Launcher a second time, the initialization activity loads again, and loads the main Activity when done. Almost immediately after, it loads a second instance of my main Activity. But ONLY after the Application has already been run once, and was exited by pressing BACK from the main Activity. It does it every subsequent time until I force quit the app or load a new version from the IDE.
Based on this, I am suspecting some kind of Activity instance is lying around and being reused, since it only happens on the second+ time I run the application (and exit with BACK -- using HOME just returns to the last state of the app, no big deal).
Is it possible with one call to finish all previous Activities. (like: this.finish(all) :)
I have a main activity, calling a preferences and there is a switchuser point that switch the user and call the main activity again. But than i don't need that the user can go back, step by step, It would be just fine i could say "kill all previous activities" in the moment the user click "switch user".
I'm using "AppBrain App Market". I have installed a bunch of apps, but some get stuck and just stay in "Downloading" state. They just never finish downloading. I see the progress bar "barbershop pole" style but there is no sign of progress. Some are new installations, some are updates.
This is despite the fact that some apps HAVE successfully downloaded and installed. What could the problem be? How do I resolve this?
Cancelling the download and restarting the download resolved the problem once. (Downloads / click on neverending download item, Cancel Download)
But if the button series is (Downloads / click on neverending download item, *Installing*). Then the Installing button is greyed out then I'm stuck.
