I'm doing some network job in AsyncTask. Sometimes it requires communication with user. (connection is dropped, session is expired and so on). I want to pop up a dialog or launch an Activity, and then, depending on user's input, stop the job or redo it. I can launch any Activity from AsyncTask, but how to get result back? It seems to be possible only if I launch new Activity from another Activity. What are possible solutions?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Service which needs to receive data from external packages. So, to locate the data providing external packages, I use activity- filter and PackageManager.queryIntentActivities function to locate the interesting packages. Now, from each such package, I need to get a ContentProvider URI. So I want to start the external Activity and the external activity will return a result to my service - something like "startActivityForResult". The problem is that there is no way to call "startActivityForResult" from a Service, only Activity can do that, and my project does not have any Activity, and probably can't show UI for the user.
The bottom line: Can anyone suggest a way to get ContentProvider URI from an external package, while my package has only a Service?
I am launching a mail activity by
//Sending mail final int SENT_MAIL = 1;
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail"),SENT_MAIL);
and in
onActivityResult(int req, int res,Intent data)
I am trying to find the result of email sending, so as to confirm if my mail was sent or was discarded by the user. I am receiving null for Intent data.
i.e. data =null
parameter in onActivityResult(int req, int res, Intent data), res is always 0.
ie. res = 0;
i seem to have a classic task, yet i can't find any examples on how to do it.i want to download something. well i call a web service and get a response but its pretty much the same.in order to do this i have an activity that starts a service that spawns a thread that does the job.now i would like to use the data i got in the activity that started the service.(i assume that starting another activity to handle the job of displaying the result would be simple)my problem is how does the service notify an activity (the one that started it or another one) of something.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to launch a GPS settings activity using startActivityForResult....however it never seems to be calling my onActivityResult function after it exits. I noticed the docs mentioned that some Intent protocols are not defined to return a result, is this one such example? are there any flags that I could set to either make the settings activity call onActivityResult, or even better make my activity block until the launched activity returns?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI hope the title says it all: I've got Activity A which fires up the Camera intent via:
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CAMERA);
After the picture is taken I can easily grab the picture in:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
But I'd like to receive the result in Activity B in which the image can be edited.
Right now I'm receiving the result in Activity A and pass it over to Activity B which results in showing the GUI of Activity A for a short while:
Intent i = new Intent().setAction("DisplayJPEG");
i.setClass(this, EditImageActivity.class);
i.putExtra("IMAGE_URI", uri);
startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_EDIT_IMAGE);
Of course, I will need the result from Activity B in Activity A after the image has been edited. But that should work with:
setResult(resultCode, data);
So there has to be a way to do what I need. Please point me into the right direction.
Im writing a program that offers a quick reply dialog upon receipt of an SMS.
However, I am getting an unexpected result. When I receieve an SMS, the appropriate dialog activity comes up displaying the correct phone number and message, however there is a second activity behind it that is the 'default' activity in my program (it is what opens when i launch my application)
I do not want this second activity to come up. The quick reply activity should come up by itself over top of whatever the user was doing before.
The 'floating' activity:

I'm writing an application that starts with a loading activity. In the loading activity the app requests html from web and parses the html, then it sends the parsing result to the main activity. The main activity has several tabs, and contents of these tabs are based on the result of parsing.For example, the result of parsing is a list of strings ["apple", "banana", "orange"], and I need to pass this list to main activity, so that the main activity can create three tabs named after three fruits.I would like to know if there is any way to pass a list of strings among activities, BTW, is it the common way of do this?

This is the method from main activity. When onPause() is executed isRunningInBackground is set true.
When I tried to debug it when the main application was running in the background the line
startActivity(intent) had no effect (the activity didn't appear).
Does anyone know how to midify the logic in order to start an activity from the main activity when the main activity is running in the background (after onPause() is called)?
Need an example of how to create/start a new activity from the main activity. I have a button click event on the main layout. Originally I just used setContentView(R.layout.secondactivity); which brings up the layout but I don't think that is correct since the secondactivity class is not instantiated at this point yet. I have looked for such an example and can not find one.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI hav an app that is like a relational database. There is a main app activity that users manage things with. There is also a widget that will display important info and add data to the database. When the widget is clicked, a configure class displays a way for the user to edit data. When the configure activity is done, the widget is updated and instead of going back to the home screen, the apps main activity is started. I can't find where the main activity is being called from. Wouldn't I have to create an intent and start Activity() to get this behavior? When done updating, I want the home screen and not my app.

the string "search" is it the text which typing by user?
Despite similar question was asked, I have differnet situation: My app consists mostly of a background Service. I want to start external activities and get results back.I see several options:Create dummy Activity and keep reference to it for using its startActivityForResult. This consumes quite a lot of memory, as we know. Use Broadcast Intents instead of Android's results infrastructure: ask client activities to broadcast their results before closing. This kind of breaks the idea and not so performance-efficient. Use Instrumentation directly - try to copy code from startActivityForResult into my Service. Use Service interfaces - serialize and add AIDL connection to the Intent for starting an Activity. In this case Activity should call Service directly instead of providing result. The third approach feels closer to Android for me, but I'm not sure if it's possible to do - Service does not have its Instrumentation, and default implementation seems to always return null.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 3 classes in my example:
Class A, the main activity. Class A calls a startActivityForResult:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ClassB.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, "STRING");
Class B, this class is a TabActivity:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ClassC.class);
tabHost.addTab...
Class C, this class is a regular Activity:
Intent intent = this.getIntent();
intent.putExtra("SOMETHING", "EXTRAS");
this.setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
onActivityResult is called in Class A, but the resultCode is RESULT_CANCELED instead of RESULT_OK and the returned intent is null. How do I return something from the Activity inside a TabHost?
I realize that the problem is that my Class C is actually running inside of Class B, and Class B is what is returning the RESULT_CANCELED back to Class A. I just don't know a work around yet.
I have a main activity, then i call a new activity intent from this. Lets call this SecondActivity. Then from my secont activity i call a browser intent.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two activities: a MainListActivity, and a DetailViewActivity. DetailViewActivity is set with android:launchMode="singleTop".
When clicking an item in the "main list" activity, it launches the "detail view" activity via:
startActivityForResult(detailIntent, REQUEST_CODE_DETAIL);
If I then call setResult(RESULT_OK, resultData); and finish(); from within the Detail activity, that resultData is received by the "main list" activity's onActivityResult(..) method correctly.
However, if I implement a "see previous"/"see next" type of navigation within the Detail activity, and implement it using singleTop, that result no longer gets sent back to the initial activity:
Intent nextItemIntent = this.createIntent(nextId);
nextItemIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT);
startActivity(nextItemIntent);
// at this point, my DetailActivity's onNewIntent() method is called, and the new data is loaded properly
But from here, when I call setResult(..) and finish(), my MainList activity never receives the new/updated result. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I am invoking the default SMS activity by using the following code-
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("sms:")); intent.putExtra("sms_body", "SMSText"); startActivityForResult(intent, 11); //Here 11 is my request code
The SMS activity gets opened in emulator (5554), i type the number 5556 (device number of my second emulator) and click on "Send"
The SMS is received in second emulator(5556) successfully. I click back on 5554 (my SMS generating emulator )and come back to my application. I notice that the onActivityResult method is getting called successfully as desired.
When i check for the result code i get it as RESULT_CANCELED ( 0 ) instead of RESULT_OK (-1). The data is also coming as null.
Whenever the memory needs to be reclaimed, the process is being killed by Activity Manager Service in killPidsForProcess. I have a back button in my activity window on right corner of the title bar.
I want to kill the activity completely on clicking the close button. Can I reuse the same function and will it have any major effect? Please help me out in this.
Or is this something that can't be done unless the phone is rooted?

View 7 Replies View RelatedFrom digging around a bit, getAssets() is an inherited method from ContextWrapper. It returns an AssetManager, and using open() it can return an InputStream. What I'm attempting to do at this point, is use the GLSurfuceViewActivity, Cube and CubeRenderer to work and learn off of and read in vertex data from a binary file. I've already created the binary output by parsing a model obj file and added to the assets directory. My Shape class (modified from the Cube class) does not have access to calling getAssets() since it's not a subclass of Activity or ContextWrapper. Once I accepted that, I tried to think of the best way to read in the data (without storing it extra places) to the Shape class. What I did, and seems to be working okay, was modify the Shape and ShapeRenderer constructors to accept an AssetManger as a parameter.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to manage application activities by hand, like this: user activating an application from menu, it does some initialization, then creates some activity (is it necessar y to declare all activities in the application manifest?), and listens to it's events. On some event application decides to close one activity and open another - so it contains all the application logic. Didn't found anything like this in examples, they all have all the logic in the activity classes. Maybe I need to user Services? (Maybe I don't understand right, what an activity represents. For me it's like window in windows, or Displayable in j2me) I'm very new to android development, trying to understand the basics.

View 5 Replies View Relatedso the application I've written has a service (that tracks GPS data) with a single main activity that binds to it with bindService in it's onStart() method, and unbinds from the service in it's onStop() method using unbindService( ServiceConnection ). I also have an activity which is an options screen, that is launched by pressing a button on the main activity. On this options screen, I have a checkbox that says "Run in background", which, if set to true, means that when the user exits the application with eier the Home or Back buttons, the service will continue running, not turning the GPS off. I do this by calling this.startForeground onUnbind, and this.stopForeground onRebind, if the setting is set to true, and stopping and starting my location reader onUnbind and onRebind respectively if the setting is false. If the service is running in the background, it also displays a notification to ensure the user understands that the GPS is still running and draining their power. This notification is displayed and stopped by relying on the startForeground and stopForeground methods......
