I have a friend who is added to my Desire's contact list.
1. He is on my Facebook contact. (His facebook pic appears in my Desire contact list)
2. He is my Gmail contact as well.
3. He is added as a 'Phone Contact' as well.
I sent him a text few days ago but don't remember if it was using facebook or my phone (network provider sms) but now when I go in to 'Messages' and send him a message, I just can't figure out if I am sending him a message via Facebook or to his mobile number.
Does anyone know of a way to find out what services are available on up coming interstate exits? I looked around Google Maps and Sprint Navigation and didn't see anything. For example, I would like to have an app tell me, Exit 116 is 20 miles away and it has Shell / Exxon / Texaco gas, McDonald's / Wendy's / Sonic, etc.

In my application there is a button called Exit. when i click the button it should end the application. I trie with finish(). It is not working. It is closing only the current scrren. I need to close all the screens.
I notice that my application continues to run in the background after I hit the home or back button. I tried calling the finish() method and it still says its running. On another note, how do I setup the keyListener to respond to the user hitting the back or home button. I tried implementing OnKeyListener and using findViewById(R.Layout.main).setOnKeyListener(this) to call finish().

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just used some great app and now I'm done, and... I want to *exit* the app. So I look for the 'exit' button.'quit' button.. nope can't find it.. !? Is there really no 'quit' button for android apps? (like in all other operating systems: the X button at the top right corner of the window) Shurely this can't be true. Only way to quit is to go to the home menu and start up a 2nd application dedicated to killing other apps and then kill app nr 1 from that?? Like buying a car that only has an 'on' switch and when i arrive at my destination, I have to open the hood and disconnect a gas lead or sometning to stop the engine.. (Or press the back button 10 times go through all documents you viewed until you reach the home screen). Isn't this like one of the basic features an OS should provide in its user interface?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using Dolphin HD for a long time but lately it's been really slow. I switched to the stock browser and it seems like it's twice as fast as Dolphin. Although I like the bells and whistles on Dolphin, I'll choose a fast browser over that any day.
My question is... what is the correct way to exit the stock browser? I don't want it running in the background. I don't want to get a task killer cause I've heard horror stories about them. I don't want to go into the browser settings each time and erase the cache and whatever every time I want to exit the browser.
Is there an easy way to exit the browser and make sure it's actually closed?
Is it possible to force the cache of your app to clear when the user exits the app? My app piles up cache data (rightfully so) on each start, which is no longer needed once the user quits the app, so I am trying to find a way to forcibly clear it.

View 10 Replies View Relatedi tried to use my popupWindow with some enter/exit animations - it has setAnimationStyle() method for that purpose. after some time i realized i cannot use my own custom animation styles which is ok but a bit limiting. so i tried system ones: R.style.Animation_Toast works ok, but R.style.Animation_Dialog doesn't. looking at xml definition files i found that Toast animation uses simple alpha animation and Dialog animation is a set of alpha combined wit scale animation. is it a problem for WindowManager to deal with complex animations?

I am getting it if I close my app and then open it a few times(it happens too often), you can close the app by "back button".

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhat puzzle me so much is that i can't destroy a GLSurfaceView while i don't want to exit the activity.
the fact is when i destroy a GLSurfaceView which had show in the screen (that means it has binded to the activity's SurfaceHolder), the activity exits without any prompting. Perhaps ,the Context which provided in the Construction of GLSurfaceView joins the two things together. so my conclusion is that a GLSurfaceView can only be destroyed when exit the activity. is there anyway to destroy a GLSurfaceView without exit activity? is there someone can provide a clue?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have requirement that needs to save data to a file. During multiple Activitiy screens, I add different data to a list and finally when user is not using the app (means if user exits app by pressing "home" button or "call" button), just before exiting that app, i want to save that data of the list to a file.
coding before exiting activity screen is simple - by calling onDestory () method, but here I want not one activity but the application exit.
So my question is How do I write a code that will be executed just before application exits ? I tried created one class extends Application, and then I override onTerminate() method, but it's not get called when I exit ( pressing home button on device)
the problem is that this button doesn't exit of my app... it simply closes the current intent ant returns to the previous intent (window) of my app.... how i can do a real exit/close button? i tryed with this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
but it doesn't works, because when i turn back into my app, the app comes in the last opened window, and not in the first window of the app, how i can do that? i need that when i re-open my app it starts on the first window of my app
Either exit button or back button only can be implemented in my application. But i want both the implementations in my application
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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?

View 11 Replies View RelatedWhat I am trying to do is emulating the "Home" button which takes one back to Android's homescreen. So here is what causes me problems: I have 3 launcher activities. The first one (which is connected to the homescreen icon) is just a (password protected) configuration activity. It will not be used by the user (just admin) One of the other 2 (both accessed via an app widget) is a questionnaire app. I'm allowing to jump back between questions via the Back button or a GUI back button as well. When the questionnaire is finished I sum up the answers given and provide a "Finish" button which should take the user back to the home screen.
For the questionnaire app I use a single activity (called ItemActivity) which calls itself (is that recursion as well when using intents?) to jump from one question to another:
Questionnaire.serializeToXML();
Intent i = new Intent().setClass(c, ItemActivity.class);
if(Questionnaire.instance.getCurrentItemNo() == Questionnaire.instance.getAmountOfItems()) {
Questionnaire.instance.setCompleted(true);
} else Questionnaire.instance.nextItem();
startActivity(i);
The final screen shows something like "Thank you for participating" as well as the formerly described button which should take one back to the homescreen. But I don't really get how to exit the Activity properly. I've e.g. used this.finish(); but this strangely brings up the "Thank you" screen again. So how can I just exit by jumping back to the homescreen?
Is it possible to stop all started services when the user hits the Home Button? I use:
startService(new Intent(ClassName.this, ClassName2.class));
stopService(new Intent(ClassName.this, ClassName2.class));
This means I will have to somehow add the 'stopService()' for 7+ of my app classes
I've researched this topic and I think there's 'onTerminate' but still not sure how this should be implemented.
I work on rooted unlocked G1, latest JS firmware ADP1.5 I wrote some application that perform some root actions in the /system of course, when messing up /system requires to remount that partition but that's not my issue.
the code is fairly simple (attached at bottom of this message). however when running a command as root (for example executeAsRoot("su ls -l /system")) I get exit code 255 (i.e. -1 or failure) when running that command as non-root - it runs ok with exit code 0. The strange thing that this happens only in the real G1 . On the emulator, root commands work just fine. if i open a terminal on the G1 and perform su - I get the "allow"/"deny" screen but after that I am able to perform actions as root. How can I debug the reason for the application process failure ?
CODE:..................
In my current application design, I have an activity class application.java (which starts on launching the application), and it does not have a layout(UI screen). I call another class called servicebind.java from the onCreate method of my 1st class. here I bind to the local server (bindServer()). i call back the application class through an intent. Once I am back to my application class, I call my activity class called welcome.java which has a layout/UI. When I run this application, I am able to see the welcome screen. But the problem is, when I click on the back button, I get a black screen with just the title on top. I have to hit back button 3 times to exit the application.
The reason I see from the logs is that, the 1st 2 activity classes (application.java and services.java) does not get destroyed unless I hit the back button. So the 1st time I hit back button, the welcome activity gets destroyed. the next back button destroys the servicebind class and final back destroys the application class. Is the reason because these classes dont have a UI to display in the onCreate method. I do not want to change my design where I bind the service in the servicebind class and call the welcome activity in the application class.
