I have made a game with just one activity.. I just replace the views when I want to change screen. The game runs fine for a really long time inspite of what ever I do within the game.
But once I close the main game, by calling finish on the only activity in the application, and then when I start again, within the next 30 secs it crashes telling VM budget exceeded..
When I don't have a dispose() or a delete method in JAVA.. how the, am I supposed to remove the objects used in memory.. moreover I have android:launchMode="singleInstance" in my manifest
I have a Contact Activity which is derived from ListActivity, which displays list of contacts, and on click of item, a new Activity Message Activity derived from ListActivity is initialized.Now I know, I can pack some information in Bundle and pass it before creating activity, but is there a way I can get instance of "ContactActivity" in onCreate method of "MessageActivity"?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am developing an app where a single activity is instantiated multiple times by itself. I guess you could think of it like a book where each activity is a page. At the end of the page (activity) the user presses a button to go to a new page. I fire off an Intent for the same Activity, but I push different data into the Bundle so that a different page is loaded. This works fine, and I like the fact that the user can back up to a previous point, but my question is whether this will eventually be a problem? What happens if this activity is instantiated 10 times, or 50, or 100? Will the device run out of memory, will GC come along and clean up old activities, or what? If GC does clean them up, what happens when the user presses Back and the previous Activity is no longer on the stack? Is it better to keep track of the user's path, finish() the activity, and override the Back button so that whether the user is moving forward or backwards, I only load a single Activity? Another approach I could take is to refresh all the data on the page so that it's still the same activity, but with new data. The Back button would not work as expected in this case.

What I want to do is, if there is a call incomes or outgoes, an activity shows with my customized info.I want to this screen keeps showing during the calling period. However, if a call is coming, the system UI which shows the contact always appears on top of my activity.I've found some apps already realized this function, but mine can't.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have implemented a ListView in my Android application.
I bind to this ListView using a custom subclass of the ArrayAdapter class. Inside the overridden ArrayAdapter.getView(...) method, I assign an OnClickListener. In the onClick(View v) method of the OnClickListener, I want to launch a new activity.
I get the exception:
Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?
How can I get the context that the ListView (the current Activity) is working under?
The first Activity that loads in my application is an initialization activity, and once complete it loads a new Activity. I want to ensure if the user presses 'Back' they go straight to the Launcher, and not the initialization screen. Side note, is this even the best approach, or would this be better done with some kind of Intent Flag?
Is it correct to call finish() after calling startActivity() on the new activity?
CODE:...................
I'm still taking in the whole 'Message Queue' method of doing things in Android, and my assumption is that calling startActivity() and then finish() from my first Activity's onCreate() will log each respective message in the message queue, but finish execution of onCreate() before moving on to starting the next Activity and finishing my first one. Is this a correct understanding?
Can any one guide me how to achieve this?

I'm having this strange issue where upon exiting a subactivity that is translucent (android:theme="@android: style/Theme.Translucent" ) the onStop() method doesn't appear to be called. have a TimerTask that runs and is supposed to be terminated when the subactivity ends in the onStop() method, but I'm instead left with an orphaned thread running in the background. It go particularly bad when I ran the subactivity several times. When I revert to no theme, the onStop() method is called and the activity behaves properly. Is there something I missed about how Translucent activities'lifecycles differ from standard activities?

At the browse page when i click on home button it hide the application.(b/c of Android's Multi tasking feature) When i go to Android's desktop launch application again it always starts from browse screen instead of splash screen why is that..............
Hopefully the title wasn't to confusing but what I meant was the following:
Lets say activity A starts activity B by calling:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Activity_A.this, Activity_B.class);
Activity_A.this.startActivity(myIntent);
Could I save/free up some memory by finishing Activity_A after Activity_B is begun (if thats even possible). Maybe through the following:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Activity_A.this, Activity_B.class);
Activity_A.this.startActivity(myIntent);
Activity_A.finish();
Or would Acitivty_A call startActivity() and wait for Activity_B to finish before it called finish()?
The idea would then be that when the users end with Activity_B, it would just restart Acitivity_A (and finish itself in a similar fashion)? Would this create too much overhead? Thanks for any answers and I apologize if the formatting of this post isn't correct.
I created a thread in my activity, and that thread will print out the value of my instance variables in my activity after running for about 10 seconds. I pressed the back key to destroy my activity before the thread prints out the values, and when the thread reaches that line of code, it can still print out the values correctly. That means even though the activity is finished, the java object of the activity is still there. Will the object always be there? Or it is just waiting to be GCed? Or it will be killed only when Android needs memory?

-No internet calling account availible
I'm wondering if there is some kind of permissions involved in this or something else I am missing.
I am trying to call my service class's stopService() method from my activity. But I don't know how to access stopservice method from my activity class. I have the below code but its not working. This is HomeScreen class:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
enablecheck = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.enablecheck);
enablecheck.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener(){
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(enablecheck.isChecked()){
startService(new Intent(HomeScreen.this, AutoService.class));
} else {
stopService(new Intent(HomeScreen.this, AutoService.class));
} } });
}
This is Service Class:
public class AutoService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "AutoService";
private Timer timer;
private TimerTask task;
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
} @Override
public void onCreate() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Auto Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");
int delay = 5000; // delay for 5 sec.
int period = 5000; // repeat every sec.
timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task = new TimerTask(){
public void run() {
System.out.println("done");
} }, delay, period);
}
@Override
public boolean stopService(Intent name) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
timer.cancel();
task.cancel();
return super.stopService(name);
} }
Is there a way that a Service can report back to the calling activity when the Service has reached a particular stage of processing? Consider a music player activity that initiates the actual music playing in the background as an Android Service. I want to detect and inform the Activity when the Service has reached the Mediaplayer's onPrepared. Is there a way that the Service can tell the calling Activity when the MediaPlayer's onPrepared is called, to let the Activity know that the audio is prepared and ready to play?I am basically looking to see if there is work around, rather than having a thread in the activity, pinging constantly to check if the Service has reached onPrepared.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy MAIN activity is spawning a child activity that contains a ListView. While this ListView is being populated (through an AsyncTask), an indeterminate progress bar is shown.However, assuming that I am an impatient user and I press the BACK button, the progress bar is cancelled but I am left with a blank screen. I have to press BACK one more time to go back to the MAIN activity.I would like the app to go back directly to the MAIN activity by pressing BACK only once. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I am thinking I should call finish() somewhere but I don't know where to put it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having two activities, say activity A and B. Activity A is an ListActivity, and when the items in the list is selected, it will call startActivity() to bring up B. The problem here is that when I am in B and click the home key, and then go to the application launcher to resume my application, A will be brought up again. This time when I click a different item in A, it will bring up B with the old data of the previously selected item before the home key was clicked.
After examinzing the code, I found that the startActivity does not update the intent of B. I found a post here about the similar question, and the answer was to overwrite the onNewIntent. However, I found that it doesn't work, because this method never get called when the second time I call startActivity. I am sure that this is the same instance, because I've printed out the instance number. Is there any other ways to update the intent of the activity? Or I need some other settings to make the onNewIntent get called? I didn't set any flags or launch modes, so everything is default.
I have a main activity, then i call a new activity intent from this. Lets call this SecondActivity. Then from my secont activity i call a browser intent. Then my browser intent call my second activity's onNewIntent method.Evereything work fine, but when i click on "back" button on my phone on my second activity, i will not going to my main activity, but the browsers activity, why?

I have an android application with a LOT of activities, think of something like a book where every page is a new activity. The user can make changes in each activity, for example highlight certain texts with different colored markers etc. and it's crucial that I'll remember this information as long as the application stays alive (and I don't want/need to remember any of this when it's not). As I understand the best mechanism for storing this kind of information is via onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) and onCreate(Bundle)/onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle) rather than lets say, the Preferences mechanism. My only problem is that the user can navigate backwards to previous pages (Activities) and the only way i know of achieving this is by calling finish() which of course kills the current activity without calling onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) and even if it did call it, the next time I would launch an activity representing that page it would be an entirely new instance. So my question is: Is there a way to go back to the previous activity without calling finish()? or, is there a better way to save this information? maybe through static variables?
