There are a ton of activity stack related questions on StackOverflow, but I didn't really see any that answered the question I have. I'm working on an online game that (for now) has 3 different activities Login/Register Menu (seen when logged in, includes "new game", "my stats", and a few other things...I'm just worried about the "new game" option for now.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA few other threads exist with requests for help on making shortcuts or writing your own code for shortcuts using AnyCut or BetterCut. None of these have been active or helpful.
I am not a developer. I am trying to learn Java, Eclipse, Android SDK, Linux, and AnyCut. I am obviously lost regarding where to start in order to design and develop apps for Android.
I hope this post will become a tutorial with tips and tricks for designing shortcuts using AnyCut's "Make Your Own" option. The "Activity" option will allow most shortcuts but I want a better understanding of what to add to the Action, Data, and Type fields to design shortcuts that successfully navigate android OS.
Please add examples of Make Your Own shortcuts you have created.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using a web service disguised as a ContentProvider and AsyncQueryHandler to isolate my activity from the delays of transport. My question is: during testing, how can I determine when my activity has retrieved the data from the web service? That would be after onQueryComplete() in the AsyncQueryHandler has come back with the "real" data. During manual testing, I just sit there and wait until the view updates. How can I do that using ActivityUnitTestCase and ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have data that is to be refreshed from the Internet. Let's call it Model.
What I want to do: Basically it sounds like an MVC model, where the Model is also kept persistent in local (private) storage. The Model and its associated methods are application-wise. There are several Activity's that display and manipulate different aspects of it:
User
navigates across different Activity's
that display Model
from different perspectives. Currently I have a ListActivity for all elements, and an Activity for one element's details
Sometimes Model needs refreshing.
Surely this is done on a different thread. Refreshing can be triggered from several Activity's.
There are several (time consuming) common
tasks that can be triggered from different Activity's
My application loads and saves Model
to private storage when it starts
and stops
My problem: I'm not sure where to put Model and the related tasks in. Also, I don't know what mechanism to use to notify Activity's. Currently I come up with 2 approaches:
Use Service and send broadcasts. Saving to disk is performed in Service#onDestroyed(), so I want to minimize that by binding it to Activity's. At this point, I'm also not sure how to deliver the updated information: whether to provide a getter in Binder, or include that in the broadcast message.
Customize the Application object so that refreshing methods and getters are available globally. I then perform update from Activity's using AsyncTask. If there are other Activity's that are behind the current Activity, they will update in onResume() when the user navigates back.
Reasons I'm not using a class with static methods:
I need to save and store Model to disk. Some of the methods need a Context for displaying toasts, notifications, caching, etc.
Also, I don't put these functionalities in an Activity because there are several activities that manipulate the same piece of persistent data.
Below are pseudocode illustrating what I mean:
Using Service:
CODE:............
Make the functionality globally accessible in the custom Application object
CODE:...........
Weaknesses I can think of for the Service approach is complexity, since Binding is asynchronous. And it's very likely that I have to repeat some code because I have both ListActivity and Activity
For the Application approach, the documentation says not to rely on onTerminate() being called.
I've implemented a service that does an asynchronous sync between my application and google docs. I want to update the top level activity of my application when the sync is complete. However because of the service it's possible that the app could be be in a unknown state. Is there a way to make the top level activity, whatever that may be, recreate itself from an asynchtask in a service.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to create a communication layer in android. The layer will communicate with server asynchronously. Multiple activities should be able to call methods of the communication layer. The layer will get messages from the server (it is not important for the scope of this question how) and should be able to tell activities to do some work based on these messages.
How should I implement this? Should I do this using android Service?
The main questions that I need to answer are: How can activities access the layer? How can the layer access activities? How can i make the communication layer live for the lifetime of the application?
I am starting an activity from one by passing some data in the intent. I want the next activity to call some asynchronous service (rest service) with the data from intent and show the result on screen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI developed a game for Android called Jumping Bird, it writes the score obtained by the player in the database on my web server, but it does so synchronized. While it tries to write data in the database on the web, the entire game is stopped , and worse, when the server is slow, the request takes more than 5 or 10 seconds, an ANR(application not respond) error occurs and the OS tries to close the app.
I wonder how I can make that request asynchronous.There is any library that does it?
How can I implement a run() method of thread if I create a Thread Global?

View 31 Replies View RelatedI am writing an application in which i need to handle messages between the main thread(the deafult UI related thread) and the user created Gamethread.
The requirement is like this.
An activity(say "Activity_X") is setting the view by "setContentView(some "View_Y")". In "Activity_X" i have implemeted "onCreateOptionsMenu()" and "onOptionsItemSelected()" fucntions for creating menus & a switch case for action to be taken on selecting those menus.Menu has items like "resume/pause/zoom/" .
All action to be take on selecting these menus are implemented in "View_Y" in a separate Gamethread by extending "Thread" class.
So whenever a menu is selected in "Activity_X" i need to send a message to "View_Y". And on receiving this ,a particular action/method should be called in View_Y(GameThread).
How can i achieve this using Handlers?Is there any other way of doing this? Please do share with me some code snippets for these.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this isn't news to any of you veterans, but this is my first android device so please bare with me. I'm using the facebook app and have noticed that neither the app itself or the widget show the actual facebook live feed or provide a way to access it....
Of course my next thought was "well what if I just use the facebook page in a browser window". Turns out that's not as simple as I thought! Apparently facebook not only has a mobile page, it also has a "touch" page that it likes to route you to. Neither the mobile or the touch facebook pages have a way to access the live feed either....

Facebook for HTC Sense is a POS. We all know that. But what is killing me is that I can set up a "sync" my HTC Eris with Fb for HTC Sense (that doesnt actually sync) but not for the standard Facebook app.
The HTC Sense Facebook App does a terrible job of syncing contacts w/ the phone, so I am trying to do it thru the Facebook for Android App.
I) Should I just keep on trying with the HTC App even tho its not fully working or syncing?
When I go to Menu> Settings> Accounts&sync>Add account (after removing sycing w/ FB for HTC Sense) I can add an account for: Facebook -or- Facebook for HTC Sense.
But, when I try to click on Facebook, nothing happens. Fb for HTC still works and I can add the account to that, but I wont get the contacts again. (I think).
II) What is going on w/ my Facebook for Android app? (I have updated it, too).
I removed my facebook account because I didn't wane all of my friends in my contacts, but a few of them are still in my contacts and I can't delete them!
View 3 Replies View RelatedLike everyone who's updated to 2.1, I'm experiencin the same bugs with Facebook (i.e. all my FB contacts show up in my dialer and my txt msgs). Anyways, I was toolin around in Accounts & Sync under Settings. Right now, the accounts I have set up are Google, Weather, and Facebook for HTC Sense. When I click Add an Account, there's something called just "Facebook," in addition to the "Facebook for HTC Sense."I've always known there were two Facebook apps (or whatever you wanna call them) on my phone, cause when I want to share a pic I take, I can do it using either "Facebook" or "Facebook for HTC Sense." I always share the picture using "Facebook" because it allows me to post a comment as well.Anyways, getting back to Accounts & Sync, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on how these two apps differ. Maybe if I choose to sync the "Facebook" account as opposed to "Facebook for HTC Sense," that could solve some of these issues we're all having? I have no idea, but I'm hesitant to do anything for fear of clogging up my phone's contact list with Facebook friends.
