View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How Different Do Broadcast Intents Need To Be?
Oct 30, 2010I have an IntentService that broadcasts an Intent each time if finishes some work. Each broadcast Intent is identical except that it contains a Bundle with some result information from the IntentService. Evidently, having different data in the Bundle is not enough for Android to think it's a different Intent. If the IntentService broadcasts two of these Intents back-to-back, the second one is dropped as a duplicate.
I know I've read about this behavior in this forum in the past but I can't find in the documentation where this duplicate elimination logic is described in detail. Mostly, I just want to differentiate the Intents enough that they are not considered duplicates. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Android :: Tabs And Intents
Aug 15, 2010I have a auto-complete textbox in which the user makes a selection. From here I want to load a tabbed layout which is based on the user selection. The problem is I cant figure out a clean way to pass that selection to each of the tabs. At the moment I can pass an intent to the 'tabhost' activity and then pass to each child activity explicitly, however this just seems like messy iterative code to me! So basically how can I pass my intent data bundles to the tabs activities cleanly & efficiently! Psuedo code is also very welcome.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Intents Alarmmanager
Aug 7, 2010I am trying to create intents that will be set using alarmmanager. Currently, I can do this with one intent, add extra data to it (strings, but i send them as one string with a seperator), and everything works fine and goes off at the correct time. However, when I try to send multiple intents like this, they are overwritten and only one goes off at the correct time. How can i structure my intents so that they appear different to the alarmmanager (i think they are getting deleted when filterIntent() is run).
long story short- putExtra() makes all the intents look the same still... how can i make them look different so they wont get deleted (and keep track of them in case i want to delete a specific one)

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Passing Values With Intents
Nov 17, 2010I have searched and searched and I just can't get this code to work. I have a main.xml layout and a setting.xml. I have some values I would like the Settings.class to change in my main apps class.Three string to be exact. I have tried this simple test code in my main app class.
settings.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(v.getContext(), Settings.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);}});
//Then a function
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String value = extras.getString("myKey");
if(value!=null){
Log.d("hmmm",value);}}}
In my settings.class I have the following
returnHome.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("myKey", "YEAH");
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();}});
Back in main app class it is not getting logged. Like I said I have three string in the main class that I want settings class to change and send back.
Android :: Blocking Intents From Launching?
Apr 6, 2010On 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?)

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Activity / Intents InTabs
Sep 19, 2010Developers. I am a newbie to Android but a seasoned developer in UI, Java , and ECLIPSE. I am trying to do something I believe is very simple yet I am struggling. I have two tabs, A & B. I want to put an Activity in each tab. I want to have the 'B' Activity live inside 'A' so I can access it within 'A'. 'A' has a clock and every second that passes I need to update information in 'B', even if 'A' is not currently shown. I put 'B' into the 2nd tab as follows:TabSpec mapInfo=tabs.newTabSpec("tag3"); Intent intent = new Intent(this, MathleteMapActivity.class)mapInfo.setContent(intent); mapInfo.setIndicator("Course Map");tabs.addTab(mapInfo); I am totally confused on how to get the "MathleteMapActivity" Activity from the Intent 'intent'. There appears no way to do this. Can anyone please recommend a cleaner way to do this knowing what I am trying to do?

Or is there any better way for that?

Android :: How To Open Email Program Via Intents
Jul 22, 2010I want to setup a part of my application that allows users to send a quick email to another user. It's not very hard to set this up:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
Intent mailer = Intent.createChooser(intent, null);
startActivity(mailer);
However, the problem is that the ACTION_SEND is accepted by more than just email programs - for example, on my phone the Facebook app, Twitter, reddit is fun, and even Bluetooth come up as viable alternatives for sending this message. The message is entirely too long for some of these (especially Twitter). Is there a way to limit the chooser to just applications that support long messages (such as email)?
Android :: How To Use Intents From Service Or Broadcast Receiver?
Dec 15, 2009I need to be able to handle/catch Intents while my Activity is closed. So I am looking at either a Service or a BroadcastReceiver. Is it possible to "receive" intents to a service itself? I tried to search, but could not find anything helpful. With a BroadcastReceiver, I am not exactly sure how that works outside of an Activity. Does it depend on the Activity being open/running? Can it run by itself?
Let's say that my Activity is killed by Android(or a task killer app), does the BroadcastReceiver still receive intents and process them? I have used a BroadcastReceiver as a widget, but I do not want to use a widget this time. My goal is to have the user open the Activity to set some options. From there, they would be able to close the Activity, but I would still be able to process Intents that were sent out by the system. I am still fairly new to Android development, so I could be so far away from where I need to be.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Reusing Intents With Notification / Pending
Nov 19, 2009In my app, user starts a service and shows a notification from activity A. The notification creates a Pending Intent that will invoke activity A should the user tap on it. The problem with this behavior is that, if the user starts the service (which shows the notification), drags down the notification bar, then taps the notification, I now have two activity A's in the display stack, one on top of the other and both exactly the same. How can I re-use the original activity A in this situation so the user isn't duplicating activities?
