Android :: Finish Activity Not Started From Current Activity

May 1, 2010

I have following problem with my application: From my main activity ("activity 1"), there is a menu from which user can launch an action. This action will result in an Intent being received by a BroadcastReceiver, defined in my application. Finally, this BroadcastReceiver will start an activity ("activity 2") to deal with this intent.

The problem is that I have a "quit application" entry in my menu, and I can only finish() currently active activity. ie I am not able to finish "activity 1" from the menu of "activity 2". And I can't use startActivityForResult() as "activity 2" can't be started from "activity 1". Any suggestion would be much appreciated Thank you very much guys, regards.

Android :: Return To Previous Activity Without Calling Finish() / Save This Information?

Oct 26, 2009

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?

Android :: How To Clear Activity Stack If Using Same Activity Multiple Times?

Mar 3, 2010

So I have an app with Activity A. The layout on the activity is dynamic genearted. So it's possible that on Activity A a user hits a button that goes to "A" and the new page looks different, then a user clicks another button to go to "A" again. Now I have 2 Activities in the history stack. A, A, and currently on A. Is it possible that if a user clicks a button that the whole Activity stack is cleared in a scenario such as this?

Android :: How To Clear All Activity In Stack Below Latest Activity?

Dec 22, 2009

All the current discussions involves clearing all activites above an existing activyt, but I'm trying to find a way to clear all the activities before the latest activity in the stack. So my scenario is A -> B -> C and then when a user goes to Activity D, activies A,B,C should be cleared from the activity stack. FLAG_ACTIVITY _CLEAR_TOP seems to only clear any activites above an existing activity. Anybody run into this scenario and found a solution?

Android :: Clear Activity Stack And Replace With A New Activity

Sep 17, 2009

i want to clear the activity stack and replace it with a new activity as the root activity, even if that activity exists somewhere on the stack (or not). i see FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, but it's not obvious to me how to use those in conjunction to achieve what I want. it's like i want to completely restart the task with some activity that i specify as the new root.

Android :: Strange Activity Stack Behavior When Using Map Activity

Apr 23, 2010

I have the following activity structure in my application A simple "splash screen" activity is started when the application is fired up (let's call it "Splash"). This activity starts the main activity when the user presses a button (I will call it "Main"). Main can in turn start two activities from the menu. The first activity presents a simple form (let's call this one "Form"), the second is a MapActivity that presents a map (it is called "Map").
Main, Form, and Map are declared exactly the same in the manifest:
<activity android:name="fully qualified activity class"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"
> <intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter> </activity> When Main is active and I start Form and press "back", Main comes up again. Pressing "back" again brings up "Splash". Nothing strange here.Now comes the strange part: when I am in Main, start Map, and press "back", Main comes up as expected. But pressing "back" again just restarts Main. A second press on "back" is needed to bring me back to Splash!So it seems that starting the Map activity somehow results in Main ending up on the activity stack twice while starting the Form activity does not! Both Form and Map are started like this: start Activity(new Intent(this, MyActivity.class)); I don not catch the back key in any activity.Any clues on what is going on or how to debug this?

Android :: Activity Finish Method Waits To Finish?

Aug 14, 2010

With this sample code, the activity is told to finish, but continues execution afterwards and displays the message. I'm trying to understand why this happens. The only fix I can think of is to place 'return' after finish.

public void someMethod() {
if( valueIsTrue) {
startActivity(new Intent(this, NewActivity.class));
CurrentActitivy.this.finish();

// return; // if uncommented, Toast doesn't show
}
Toast.maketext(this, "Some message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();}

My app is comprised of a set of reusable Activities that other apps can reuse. For various reasons, I would like my Activities to be launched in context of the invoking Activity's process, instead of always being launched in my Activity's process (default behavior on Android). How can I achieve this?

Android :: How Finish An Activity In This Instance

Aug 16, 2010

We all know that hitting the back button on the device doesn't kill the application, it merely finishes (destroys) the activity running on the foreground.

Well I have come across some code which helps me capture the back button signal so that I cannot exit the application. The only way to exit it in such cases is to press the home key.

Now this situation presents me with a unique disadvantage! The inability to kill finish the application on a time of my own choosing allows the application to keep running in the background like nothing has changed.

So in such cases is the task manager my only friend or is there a way for me to otherwise kill this application?

Android :: Activity Pause Rather Than Finish?

Nov 30, 2009

I see no means by which my activity can pop itself off the activity stack to return the user to the one he was using before it was invoked. Is there one? My purpose is that my app has some data structures built from data provider queries that take 5-15 seconds to assemble and I don't want a lot of latency if it is used in a few one-shot purposes in rapid succession. I'm more than willing to let the system ask my app to die, but I'd like to keep warmed and ready otherwise.

Android :: Wait For Activity To Finish?

Sep 7, 2010

I have one activity call a camera view activity, and in the onActivityResult, I have it start that activity again with different parameters. Android doesn't seem to like that, and gives me an error that the camera is not available if I start it right after it returns. I tried just waiting a few seconds, but this doesn't seem to work on all phones, and it sometimes crashes. Is there some way to wait until that activity finishes properly, and gives up all resources?

Android :: Finish Not Killing Activity

Apr 12, 2009

I've got an application that has (among other things) three Activities, let's call them A, B, and C. A is the main navigation point for the entire application, and launches B and C directly using startActivity(). They work fine that way. However, when I call C from inside B, I get a strange problem. The code for launching Activity C is exactly the same in both places. The problem is the hardware back button. In the emulator, it takes two presses of the back button in order to close Activity C and come back to B. On a G1, it takes 3 or 4 presses. Upon seeing this, I implemented the usual suspects in C - onPause(), onStop(), and onDestroy(), and onResume() in B. When I press the back button from C and it doesn't work, I get onPause(), onStop(), onDestroy () - in that order, but nothing happens. When it works (on press 3 or 4 on the G1), I get onPause(), then onResume() in B, then onStop() and onDestroy().

I've tried catching the key press of the back button and calling finish (), but that doesn't make a difference. Has anyone seen this? To pre-empt some questions: All C does is display some data. There are no threads or any other special resources that C might have an active handle to that's preventing it from closing. But out of curiosity, if it did, how would I detect that? Any ideas for further diagnostics here?

Android :: Finish() Won't Close Activity

Jul 23, 2009

I have an EditText field and I want to pop up a new window/activity whenever a user touches/clicks the field. The new window has some widgets and of course Apply and Cancel buttons. Here is the code how I intercept the onTouch event.

EditText ctlMaskEt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.mask_field); ctlMaskEt.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { public boolean onTouch (View v, MotionEvent event) { popMaskEditor(); return true; } });

Everythings work fine until I click the Apply and Cancel buttons. The API finish() won't close the new window unless I click the same button one more time. Calling popMaskEditor() from a button's OnClick event handler doesn't have this problem.

In main Activity, I called start Activity For Result(intentB, 100) to start a new activity B, then in B, I called startActivity(intentC) to start another activity C. Lastly I wanted to call finish Activity(100) in C to close activity B, but seemed it was not successfully destroyed(I can use BACK key to see it's still there.)

Android :: Does Pressing Back Always Cause Activity To Finish()?

May 10, 2010

I've heard that pressing the back button will essentially cause the current Activity to finish(). Is this always the case? Seems like it would be with the way it pops the Activity off the stack.

The one situation I'm not so sure about is when the root Activity in a Task has back pressed. I'm currently experiencing a very weird effect, described as follows:

On loading my application, the first Activity is for initialization, and once it finishes, it calls my main Activity (a TabActivity). This first init activity has android:noHistory="true" set in the Manifest so pressing Back from my main Activity won't go back to that. It goes to the Launcher. When I click on my App in the Launcher a second time, the initialization activity loads again, and loads the main Activity when done. Almost immediately after, it loads a second instance of my main Activity. But ONLY after the Application has already been run once, and was exited by pressing BACK from the main Activity. It does it every subsequent time until I force quit the app or load a new version from the IDE.

Based on this, I am suspecting some kind of Activity instance is lying around and being reused, since it only happens on the second+ time I run the application (and exit with BACK -- using HOME just returns to the last state of the app, no big deal).
