I read somewhere not to exception handle when developing in Android, is that true?
If one does need to exception handle are there any logging tools for 2.1 and above?
If shouldn't exception handle, why is it not recommended to at least use the below?
try {body-code} catch (exception-classname variable-name) {handler-code}

I'm trying to catch a login exception thrown by the class that readerAccount belongs to in the code below.
CODE:......................
However, the only part of the catch statement that happens is is the Log.w() function. I was under the impression that during a catch statement, you have the opportunity to recover from errors, but the program blacks out the screen altogether and the dialog is not displayed, nor is the Toast.

This is the sequence part of this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3674441/combining-2-images-overlayed

I have class A in which I have a method openfileConnec().
It was written like the below:
CODE:...............
Now I come to class B where I will call this method like the below:

I was asked a question in an interview as follows:
Why does the method have a throws Exception in its declaration? Is it that on of the methods called in the implementation throws the base class exception? Also If we get a exception during calling the method (fileConnect( )) control goes to catch block. After executing catch where should the control go, what should be sent to base case?

Everything was fine until I now implemented Threads where Exceptions are being thrown and caught.
You probably already have seen, that I played with the Looper Class, but honestly I don't know how to make it work. Is that the right approach? You also can see that I already store a reference of the ApplicationContext in my Controller. Shall I do it with the ActivityContext as well and than make the Toast from this ActivityContext? (But I heard that this is not a good practice in terms of performance)

View 2 Replies View RelatedFrom the documentation regarding the android:configChanges='orientation' attribute of the activity tag in the manifest:
Using this attribute should be avoided and used only as a last-resort. Please read Handling Runtime Changes for more information about how to properly handle a restart due to a configuration change.
Why does it say this?
In the case of threads and networking requests via a service API library, a request could be made with a reference to the original Activity, and then an orientation change could occur, leaving the thread pointing to the old Activity.
While this can be fixed, it's tedious and ugly compared to just handling the configuration changes yourself.
Why should it be avoided?
I guess I should also ask: would this be an acceptable reason for doing the orientation configuration changes yourself?
I'm trying to do is draw circles around two points that are being touched, and as the fingers drag along on the screen, have these circles follow each finger.
However, I'm getting some weird behavior that I can't figure out. So when I place two fingers on the screen I get my circles no problem. When I drag around with the two fingers everything works like I want it. However, if I lift the first finger, everything stops redrawing, and the second finger that is still on the screen stops being tracked. If I place the first finger back on, everything behaves good again. I figure I must be handling the two fingers poorly.
Also, if I have two fingers on the screen, and I lift and touch the second finger, everything behaves well. It's only in the case where I have two fingers and I lift the first one do I see a problem.

I know how to use handlers to update UI elements such as progress bars toasts etc. The problem I am having is when the context goes away such as the user pressing the back button or the Activity finishing for some reason. This causes my application to crash often. I tried using
getApplicationContext()
(Thinking that this would be available throughout my entire application) but this did not work, ever - instead my application crashed! I put try catch blocks around all UI update code, this works but is it necessary? What is the bast way to handle this?
I have some required try/catch statements in my application that in my testing never get called. I have sent them up with:
Log.e("messaage", e.toString());
For my debugging and now that I'm ready to release I am not sure if I should take that out or not. I see in android market you can get error/crash reports and while I do not expect my app to catch any errors, I would like to know if that happens and wondering if I need specific syntax for that. My question is what should I do in the catch statement for these errors? I'm already handling the error from a user standpoint...

I would like to build an application that caters for multiple accounts (eg. home, work) and account types (e.g. ISP, VoIP, Mobile). Essentially, I would like to get the user to create the accounts they want and then have all the accounts listed on the start page grouped by type.
For example:
ISP:
- Home
- Work
Mobile:
- Mum
- Dad
When you click on the account, it would take you to another screen where I do a bunch of calcs and display the results.
I currently do this via multiple apps but am looking at consolidating into the one app. I am just not sure where to start or how I go about achieving this? The way the Contacts app works is a good example of what I am wanting to do.
We have created an AppWidget that takes user inputted text into an EditText and displays a calculated amount of text inside a TextView on the Home Screen. We calculate the amount of text based on the AppWidgetInfo.minWidth, minHeight attributes. We do this to simulate scrolling; we cut up the user-inputted text into chunks that will fit into the widget and swap them based on button clicks.
When we save the widget with the device in Landscape mode, it calculates the appropriate amount of text for Landscape mode and displays it in the widget. The problem is when the user changes orientation of the device to Portrait mode (without opening the widget and resaving the text), the calculated amount of text for Landscape mode is still displayed. This also happens in the vice versa case (the user is in Portrait and saves, etc.)
How can we tell our AppWidget to recalculate the amount of text displayed on screen orientation change? Is this possible? How would you solve this problem?

Understanding how to declare activities in the manifest file, how to set the appropriate flags when starting them through intents, is quite challenging in all but the default cases. The combination of all these settings and flags is daunting. I've been developing for Android for over a year now, have read the application fundamentals and the reference guide for 'Intent' quite a few times and still I don't have a good grasp of which manifest settings or intent-flags should be used for starting activities in many situations (workflows). Is there some source/document that can explain certain work-flows (ways of navigation through activities and tasks), that shows examples of how to configure and start activities?

The code is as in the example (see below). In my application, the worker thread has done loading of large bitmaps, and I need to notify the UI thread the filename of the bitmap that was loaded as they get loaded. How can I notify the UI thread of the filename of the bitmap just loaded? I can see anyway to for updateResultsInUi() to be able to take a parameter from the example below.
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
[ . . . ]
// Need handler for callbacks to the UI thread final Handler mHandler = new Handler();
// Create runnable for posting final Runnable mUpdateResults = new Runnable() { public void run() { updateResultsInUi();
} };
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
[ . . . ]
} protected void startLongRunningOperation() {
// Fire off a thread to do some work that we shouldn't do directly in the UI thread
Thread t = new Thread() { public void run() {
mResults = doSomethingExpensive();
mHandler.post(mUpdateResults);
} };
t.start();
} private void updateResultsInUi() {
// Back in the UI thread -- update our UI elements based on the data in mResults
[ . . . ]
}
