View 2 Replies View RelatedI have problem launching my app. The emulator will load, but the app won't launch. The progress bar at the lower right of eclipse is just stuck at 100%. I've tried reinstalling everything including my JDK's and adt plugin. Also tried kill-server and start-server method but it didn't work. There's even nothing written in console or logcat. I even tried waiting for an hour hoping it would run.

And several other attempts to call "link" that also fail (sshfs does not support hard links).
Is it possible to change the emulator's behavior to create lock files somewhere in /tmp (using some hash of image path as lock file name)? I am OK to try this myself: which repositories from https://android.git.kernel.org/ are necessary to rebuild the emulator alone, and where in the sources is the code responsible for image locks?
I need to run several emulator instances to test my application. When i try to run instances using emulator -data <path> option, the emulator crashes.
I got a MS Visual Studio window informing that emulator throws a "unhandled win32 exception".
The exception message in the debugger (MS Visual Studio 2008) is: "Unhandled exception at 0x77c4706c in emulator.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x03216848"
The emulator runs normally without "-data" option.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to reload an Android application in the emulator without closing the emulator, saving any code changes, and running the emulator again? If I make even a simple change to the layout, it takes about 30 seconds by time I run it in Eclipse and Android "boots", and I can unlock the emulator to run the application. Is there any way to shorten this time when making changes, or is it something I just have to deal with?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the most recent version of Android for linux (android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz). I was trying to use the the Android Ant task(s) for packaging, building, and deploying my code. I should mention that I'm running AMD64, but have the 32-bit libraries installed. The Android Ant tasks are all broken.
First, the start-emulator task never gets the emulator running. It does get past starting adb, but then just sits there.
Second, the SDK is missing the aapt binary in the tools directory. So, the example notepad sample application will not even package correctly.
I have all the dependencies configured for Android. I can run it from the command line just fine.I assume the Ant code is out of sync with the recent SDK updates. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? At this point, I'm considering writing my own Python scripts to interact with the Android SDK. Ugh.
Say I have developed 4 applications. Is it possible to group these applications, so that I can access and launch these from one location?

I have written an application which calls native methods through JNI. In the native library 4 threads are started. On USB removal, the application is to be closed including the native threads. Upon receiving the USB removal event, we are trying to kill the threads (pthread_kill() ) and then finish (using finish()) the activity. After reconnecting the USB, the application is not launching due to memory corruption. In DDMS, it shows the threads are still attached to bionic. As the threads are not closed, I feel the resources were not released properly. If I reconnect again then application launches and works fine and the same repeats on every launch.
To solve this problem Can I use System.gc() ? Can I use pthread_exit() 1st and then pthread_join instead of pthread_kill ? Whats the procedure in Android to kill the native threads and also the application ? After the application is closed, will it not be listed in DDMS ?
I have an application with three tabs. Through various interactions with the items in the tabs I end up launching other activities. The client has reviewed this and would like the activities launched "within" the tabs, so the tabs remain visible and if the user clicks the tab it goes back to the original activity defined in the setContent function. Is this possible and how would I go about this from other activities? (ie the child activities, not the one that defines the TabHost and has access to call setContent)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know this has been asked a lot of times in StackOverflow already, but I haven't quite found a solution yet. My app sends an email with a link in it that when clicked should launch the app. According to @hackbod, the best way to do it is to make use of the Intent URI (see this). Here's my code that sets the intent and puts it in the email body: Code...

On a special key press, I want to bring the A to the front and make it active. The problem I am facing is when the special key is pressed, another instance of A is launched and the new instance is brought to the front.
But I want the original A to come to the front. I want to make this change in the framework layer rather than application specific by using the singleInstance theme in the launchMode in AndroidManifest file.

I would like to write an application which would be launched from the Contacts list in the phone.That is,you choose a contact using the normal contacts application, and where you can dial to the contact, send an Email or SMS,you can also launch my application with this contact's activity.How can this be done?
View 1 Replies View RelatedGoing through the ApiDemos sample code (in Android 2.1 platform), I saw that there are two activities that make use of the Instrumentation class: ContactsFilter and LocalSample. However, I'm having trouble finding the menu that will launch any one of these activities from the ApiDemos application. I just want to be able to run ApiDemos and hit the breakpoint in one of these Activities so I can understand how the Instrumentation class works. proper navigation in ApiDemos to launch ContactsFilter or LocalSample?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn the market, there's an application called App Protector, which seems to effectively block the launching of configured activities until a password is correctly provided. By default, it blocks access to itself (not very interesting), Settings, and a few others. I wrote my own app to launch settings (rather than doing so through the home screen) and App Protector continued to do the job it claims to do.
When an activity that is protected is started, App Protector's password input activity is shown instead. Once the correct password is provided, the activity that was started comes to the front.
First -- does anyone know how this app is able to get between the rest of the system and the activities it protects? I would like to do something along these lines in my own application as well. Perhaps this app is receiving a broadcast about other activities coming to the foreground, and when the foreground activity is protected, it forces itself to the foreground?
Second -- does anyone know how well this technique will stand up to attack? Are there other ways to circumvent, where start Activity(...) fails to? It seems that one could use adb to un install it, thus removing its protection easily, but if I pursue my plans here, the app will be a part of a device's firmware (which, I assume, offers some protection against its apps being installed?)
I want to launch my application in market. I ahd go to http://market.android.com/publish/signup but there they are asking for Website URL. But i don't have any website then what should I enter there? or is it necessary to have our own website to launch application in market?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy app has 4 activities on the stack A->B->C->D (top)
If you press home and re-enter the application, another instance of A is started, so the stack is A->B->C->D->A (top). I know this because when I press BACK, A is popped off and I now see D (instead of going to the Home screen).
What I want is that when the user re-enters the app, they re-enter on the same activity they were in before (D).

Is it possible to re-use all the instances of Activities and Services when an application is launched twice. For instance: 1/ I start my application APP1.

Is it possible to launch an app widget from another application.
For example, I have a button in an application. When I click on that button, an appwidget must be launched.
I would like to launch an app the user selects from within my application. However, I'm not sure how I'd go about doing this. I've tried this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Contacts.Intents.SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT);
startActivity(intent);
But this seems to throw an error and force close my application. I also tried adding:
<action android:name="Contacts.Intents.SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT"/>
in the AndroidManifest file, but to no avail.
A look at Logcat shows that it's an "IOexception - no such file or directory". A couple of questions arise from this. I read through the Android docs and noticed that the Contact.Intents class is deprecated. However, it's successor, ContactContracts is aimed at API level 5 whereas I'm targeting API level 3. Could this be the problem? Also, I've hardcoded this application into the code. Is there a way to retrieve the intents of any application the user selects so that they can be launched?
