Android : Get A Parcel From Intent's Extras?
Sep 16, 2010
I've implemented parcelable on a class of mine per the doc instructions, works fine: code...
but I haven't implemented a copy constructor. However, the createFromParcel() method which I did implement is almost like a copy constructor. I'm wondering if I can use it make a copy, but I can't figure out how to get a Parcel instance from the intent extras:
MyParcelable mp2 = MyParcelable.CREATOR.createFromParcel(getIntent().getExtras().getParcelable("key"));// ? just need a parcel ?
it's not the greatest idea, just wondering if it's possible to avoid making another method for my class which will almost be identical to what's already implemented for the Parcelable interface..

I set an PendingIntent on a Notification (notification.setLatestEventInfo). this intent is actually the same intent used to launch my app, only with a flag that I put in the extra (intent.putExtra(TAB_INDEX_PARAM_NAME, UPDATES_TAB_INDEX)).
So my first activity launches, it queries it's intent's extras and immediately navigates to an Alerts activity rather the normal activity on a regular launch.
The problem: from this point, every activation of my app navigates to this Alerts activity. when debugged, I find that the flag is "stuck" in the intent even though I removed/changed it. it just won't change.
How can change an extra on a giving Intent?

I am trying to use Android's LocationManager requestLocationUpdates. Everything is working until I try to extract the actual location object that in my broadcast receiver. Do I need to specifically define the "extras" to my custom intent so that the Android LocationManager before I pass it to requestLocationUpdates so it knows how to add it into the intent, or will it create the extras-bundle regardless when it passes the fired intent to the broadcast receiver?

A few days ago I was struggling to find a way to use custom intents for my alarms. Although I got clear answer that I have to customize the Intents based on some unique ID eg. setAction() still have some problems.This can happen more than once for a contact. And when the second message is generated, the notification is raised well (message is fine there) but the intent when the user actions the notification it uses old data, so previous message is passed and not the brand new message.So someway the intent is caching and reusing previous extras. How can I make it unique per contact and per action?

I put a notification in the status bar with a PendingIntent (with Extras info) that points to my main app (main activity). When the user clicks the staus bar, the PendingIntent is fired and my app launches and I can read the Extras info in my onCreate() method. So far so good.
But if my app is already running, the PendingIntent simply causes the app to come to the foreground and it does not call any of my methods, so I can't read the content in Extras. What can I do?

This questions somehow relates to the question when I was looking to get the extras back in startActivityForResult but now I face another challenge.
I have subscribed to receive ProximityAlerts and I have explicitly constructed the Intent to include some Extras. But when I got the service the extras are not there.
After the answers here is the working code:
CODE:..........................
The documentation says param PendingIntent to be sent for each location update.

I have a published app that triggers after the Android Alarm Clock goes off. I read the Alarm Clock Label and if it matches a user provided label to trigger off of, my app is triggered. This works great.
The problem is that the HTC Sence UI Alarm Clock uses a different Intent and the extras for that Intent contain a Parcel (that contains the alarm label).
I am able to trigger on the HTC Intent and get the Parcel from the extras, but is it possible to extract the Parcel without knowing what is in the Parcel in the first place?

I have a class which has implemented Parcelable. Can I do something like the following to create a new instance of a class?
found this from the following q: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1626667/how-to-use-parcel-in-android
This is working ok, I can go with this but it is extra code, not sure if there's a shorter way to do it (other than properly implementing a copy constructor...)

According to the API doc, Android seems to support for changing the data size of Parcel container. And there is no notice limiting the size of Parcel. The document is here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcel.html#setData...()
On the other hand, when our developers are doing some tests on this, the size is dependent on the platform and devices.
So i just wonder whether there is any limit on the data size of Parcel. At least this information should be mentioned in the API document.

I am currently on tmobile using a vibrant. The bugs with the vibrant are starting to bug me, and there is no where else to go to for tmobile. I am thinking about going to sprint for the EVO. I will have to figure out a way to get out of my tmobile contract, (hasn't been 14 days) if anyone wants to help me with ideas.
my main question is, is it true that you have to pay an extra $10 a month for the Evo? I don't have 4G in my area, do I still have to pay for it? What kind of deals can I get from sprint for a new contract? Can I keep my same number?

I'm trying to write an array of objects that implement Parcelable into a Parcel using writeParcelableArray.The objects I'm trying to write are defined (as you'd expect) as:public class Arrival implements Parcelable {All the right stuff in here this class compiles and acts fine And I'm trying to write them into a `Parcel' with: @Override public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) I completely don't understand this error message. Parcelable is an interface (not a class) so you can't extend it. Anyone have any ideas? UPDATE: I'm having basically the same problem when putting an ArrayList of Parcelables into an Intent:Intent i = new Intent();i.putParcelableArrayListExtra("locations", (ArrayList< Location> ) locations);Yields: The method putParcelableArrayListExtra(String, ArrayList< ? extends Parcelable >) in the type Intent is not applicable for the arguments (String, ArrayList< Location >)This may be because Location was the class I was working on above (that wraps the Arrivals), but I don't think so.

I first want to start by saying I mean zero disrespect. I have the utmost respect for the moderators here and all the people who make this the most user friendly android forum around! With that said is there any way to have the thread ROOTING For Dummies + Extras stickied? This is nearly a request. Mat lock has made a great guide that has been proven to be a great tool. Im sure many people would agree that having it stickied would benefit many users especially the newer users trying to learn. Short and sweet, to the point.

So many people may be reading this, wondering just what its all about, well, here goes.
As of probably August/September i was new in here, with no idea what to do with the X10 - through the X10 community - nay FAMILY - on this forum, i have developed from someone using basic stock icons, to well, a fully custom layout. HUGE HUGE thanks go out to X10iUser for the guidance in getting my phone here and the late night tutorial tonight lol
and to everyone else in this forum with their thoughts and ideas - whether its on what widget looks nice, or what background - keep them going, cos they bring us to the end results we dream of (well it has done mine lol)
So thats where i came to - i've modded the HTC Keyboard - which CuBz does an awesome job on explaining how to install here How to install HTC keyboard Step-by-step
and then modded with the guide from GIMPSTA at XDA here http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/main.php, the homescreens were taken from advice on widgets and apps in here Show Us Your X10 Homescreen... and the fonts from here Android Fonts... I have imaged a few different screens from my setup here http://androidforums.com/1774631-post41.html
So to close it off - if you feel stupid (trust me, i did), confused or just curious about something, ask the question - after asking the question you have some idea's then share them - after you've shared them and you want to progress further - then i'm sure someone can help
Look where i took mine to from its simple beginnings in a few weeks. And if i haven't laid credit where credit is due then please, let me know and i will reference and update it. Now sod it, its 4am - i'm off to bed

I have a widget that contains 4 buttons to show 4 stock prices, each of them will launch into the same activity Quote.class to show stock details. In onUpdate(), it will set up the pendingIntent with extras with stock symbol. After I hit button A, it goes to Quote activity that shows stock A. Then I hit the BACK button to the homescreen, Quote activity calls onDestroy() and when I hit button B, stock B will show properly. However, when i hit HOME button after it shows stock A, the Quote activity only calls onStop without calling onDestroy(), then as i hit button B, it will call onStart() and it shows the same instance that shows stock A.
CODE:............
Originally I thought adding a flag in the Intent should solve this problem. But I have tried
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY), none of them makes any difference.
So is there any ways to make it work? How can i remove the history stack from HOME button? How can I call onCreate in Quote activity and get new extras when i hit button B?

I know this has been asked a lot of times in StackOverflow already, but I haven't quite found a solution yet. My app sends an email with a link in it that when clicked should launch the app. According to @hackbod, the best way to do it is to make use of the Intent URI (see this). Here's my code that sets the intent and puts it in the email body: Code...

In my android app, I wanted to start an activity 'B' from initial activity 'A'. I have created classes for both of these. However when using following code to start B, I get runtime error as application has stopped unexpectedly, try again.
CODE:..........
When I added a new entry in AndroidManifest.xml/manifest/application/activity/intent-filers for activity B then the application worked.
I have two questions:
When there are multiple activities entries in AndroidManifest.xml, how does android know which activity to start first?
I could not understand intent-filters.
