I'd like to write sthg like a logger for my Android phone where I log whenever an application/activity is started respectively created. So it's not only about my own stuff but about all the stuff that gets started on the phone. Is there sthg like an intent flying around or any kind of stuff that I could catch?

I would like my app to do something when another application is opened.
The current approach I have taken is to create a broadcast receiver that monitors all
android.intent.action.MAIN
events, but either I am not doing it correctly or the way I am going about it is incorrect. The section of the manifest looks like this code...
I included the launcher category just as a test. GetApp currently is only set to make a log entry when called.
Some times after installing my application and first running my application is creating two processes as follows.
CODE:................
My music application constantly plays music in the background, however I'd like to be able to detect when another application starts playing audio (such as the YouTube app) so I can pause/mute/stop the audio in my application. This will allow a user to continue browsing the web whilst listening to music, but then if they wish to watch a video at any point, they can do so without audio conflict.
One solution might be to listen for a broadcast which states when an application begins using the AudioManager. Does such an Intent Action exist? Edit: As in the answer provided below, there appears to be a method of detecting the loss of audio focus in 2.2 with AudioManager.OnAudioFocusChangeListener.
I want my application to be started whenever the phone is turned on or restarted.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an Android application that consists of:
a lightweight background service that logs events to a DB
a heavier GUI application that summarizes these events and displays graphs.
I'm having trouble creating the service part, though. The graphic application can use quite some RAM, and when it goes to the background, the OS closes it after some time of not being used.
The problem is, when the application gets shut down, so does the service. This is bad because this keeps me from recording further events. I don't care if the application gets terminated, but the service needs to keep on running.
I have tried numerous ways to keep the service alive, like having it use threads or a differently named process than the main app. Nothing has worked, and I have found no help on any of the android developer pages or forums.
I created an application which creates and stores files to sdcard. Is there a way to bind the folder with application in order to delete all files when the user runs uninstall on android device?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn one android application, I created a database file in data/data/com.rams/databases/dbfilename.
If I created a second application with the same package name (com.rams) and I access the database file created with my first application, the second application is able to access the database contents.
How can I secure the database file created with my first application?
I created an application which consists of several activities. If I start a subactivity named DlgTitleTags from main activity everything goes well.
Another case is when I start a subactivity DlgLibrary and then from DlgLibrary DlgTitleTags the execution fails on line:
CODE:..................
In the first example this line executes without errors so I'm wondering what could be wrong here.
This is the copy from log:
CODE:........................
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 am trying to apply an animation to a view in my Android app after my activity is created. To do this, I need to determine the current size of the view, and then set up an animation to scale from the current size to the new size. This part must be done at runtime, since the view scales to different sizes depending on input from the user. My layout is defined in XML. This seems like an easy task, and there are lots of SO questions regarding this though none which solved my problem, obviously. So perhaps I am missing something obvious. I get a handle to my view by: ImageView myView = (ImageView)getWindow().findViewById(R.id.MyViewID);
This works fine, but when calling getWidth(), getHeight(), getMeasuredWidth(), getLayoutParams().width, etc., they all return 0. I have also tried manually calling measure() on the view followed by a call to getMeasuredWidth(), but that has no effect. I have tried calling these methods and inspecting the object in the debugger in my activity's onCreate() and in onPostCreate(). How can I figure out the exact dimensions of this view at runtime?
Now I know this has been brought up before and I've followed the advice: tried turning on Google Talk, rebooting etc. In fact I can rarely get GT to sign in either but even when I do, it makes no difference to the apps I'm trying to download. When I first got the phone, I managed to download a couple of apps without problems but now I can't. Everything gets stuck on 'starting download' whatever I do. I'm trying it on a wireless network as it's rare I can get 3GS up.

View 1 Replies View RelatedYou can see property action android:name= property is "android.intent.action.MAIN" and categoryandroid:name= is "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" for all activities.When application starts up, it calls First Activity. Then calls useless Activity such as ThirdActivity or Second Activity.In this case, is my manifest.xml correct?Or, do I need to set another property to Second and Third activity? If so, what is that?I wonder manifest.xml file is right for my case.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want a countdowntimer to halt on a menu and also when the user goes from that menu to another activity. When the user comes back from that activity or when the menu is closed, the timer should still halt. However when the user went to the home screen and clicks on the icon again, I want the timer to restart. So my question is, is there a way to detect if the user has just opened your application, or if the user comes back from another activity or menu?

So the very straightforward method I thought is increasing the count for an Activity when it was started. But how can I get the information?
How can I know who started(bind) service?

Is there a way to do this?
Can you access the activity stack in a way to grab what activity came before the one now in view?
I have a situation where an activity needs to know where it was started from, so it knows what data to display in that current activity.
There's already been some discussion of this, in various lists and blogs. I finally got an AnimationDrawable to work, but I cannot start it from onResume. I can start it from a timer that onResume starts, or an onClickHandler.
I've poked around the source a bit and I can't figure out, specifically, what state the view has to be in, in order for the background AnimationDrawable to start.
Can anyone enlighten me?
I want to get started with mobile development , I know HTML,CSS,JavaScript,PHP and C#.
What is the best way to get started?
I know that for example, if i want to create an iphone application i need to know objective c (and get mac),Which language is the best for mobile development (and cross platform - works on Nokia,IPhone,android,palm,Blackberry).
I'm looking for something to get up and running quickly with Android development. Perhaps a great tutorial covering the basics. I see a lot of posts on getting started but the ones I have looked over so far aren't great. What do people here recommend?
