Android :: Android 1.5 - Asynctask DoInBackground Not Called / Method Called

Oct 26, 2010

I am running into an issue with the way my asynctasks are executed. Here's the problem code:

firstTask = new background().new FirstTask(context);
if(firstTask.execute().get().toString().equals("1"))
secondTask = new background().new SecondTask(context);

What I'm doing here is creating a new asynctask object, assigning it to firstTask and then executing it. I then want to fire off a separate asynctask when the first one is done and making sure it returns a success value (1 in this case). This works perfectly on Android 2.0 and up. However, I am testing with Android 1.5 and problems start popping up. The code above will run the first asynctask but doInBackground() is never called despite onPreExecute() being called. If I am to execute the first task without the get() method, doInBackground() is called and everything works as expected. Except now I do not have a way to determine if the first task completed successfully so that I can tell the second task to execute. Is it safe to assume that this is a bug with asynctask on Android 1.5? Especially since the API says that the get method has been implemented since API 3. Is there any way to fix this? Or another way to determine that the first task has finished?

Motorola Droid X :: Only Vibrates When Getting Called Ringtone Does Not Work

Jul 19, 2010

So the ringtone option on my Droid X does not work anymore, or I somehow put it on permanently vibrate. The ringtones were working fine when i received calls but now it only vibrates. I've gone into settings > Sound & Display > Ringer volume and turned it all the way up but it still only vibrates when receiving a call. My Text message sound works fine it's set as the facebook pop. Can anyone help me with this? I'm not sure if i just missed something or if there is another phone setting that i'm not seeing but my ringtone does not work! This phone is the most amazing phone i've ever owned and now can't wait to get the froyo update...any idea when i can install that on my phone?

Motorola Droid :: Calls Last Number Called By Itself When Locked

Jul 25, 2010

I've been having this problem ever since I got my Motorola Droid basically (November 2009). Sometimes my droid will dial the last number that was called by itself while it is locked.

Whenever I am done making a call or using my phone I hit the screen dim button at the top. Also I have the pattern lock code turned on. I also have a blue tooth headset that is always attached to my phone, its this Plantronics Discovery 925:

Amazon.com: Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset (Bulk): Electronics
Amazon.com: Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset (Bulk): Electronics

Basically my droid will just call the last number that I have called on it's own. This happens when I have it in my pocket, and when I have it just sitting on a table with nothing touching the phone or my headset. Sometimes like when my friend is right next to me, he will say hey your calling me, and ill take my phone out of my pocket, hit the screen dim button, and I will see that it is still locked with the pattern lock, but that a call is underway (phone call icon is present in the top left)

I was wondering it somehow my bluetooth making these calls, but as far as I know there is no way to actually make a call directly from the bluetooth, and at any rate the phone is locked.

I recently read another post saying that this may be caused by the phone automatically going to the call log after ending a call, so I downloaded this App that was recommended called "Not Call Log" and I have set it to make the phone go to the home screen instead of the call log when calls end.

However just yesterday I have just seen it call by itself twice even after I installed this new app, so it seems the app is not solve the problem. I have seen many threads on this topic but none with any solutions except to use the Not Call Log app, which at least right now doesn't seem to be fixing the issue.

Motorola Droid :: App Called Vibrate During Meetings Not Working

Nov 15, 2009

OK, so I switched to droid from my windows mobile device and I quickly realized there is no option to silence your phone according events on the calendar. I had this on my windows mobile phone and I really miss it, so I found an app called Vibrate During Meetings (Vibrate During Meetings Widget (v. 1.0) applicate�n en el Android Market - AndroidZoom.com) which supposedly works for the Droid according to the comments on the app in the market; however I bought this app and it installed, but the open button is blanked out so I can't open can't run it for some reason. I would really like to get this app to work, but I don't know why it won't open.

I Have tired uninstalling and reinstalling, turning the phone off and back on, but I still can't open it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I can't get this app to open. The developers website is terrible and doesn't even give any info on this app, so I emailed the developer and I'm waiting to hear back, but haven't heard back yet.

It had mixed reviews at appbrain and when I searched here it came up with a bunch of other threads.

Android :: OnKeyDown Not Always Called In App

Oct 20, 2009

I've created a simple android game, based on the Lunar Lander sample, and I'm having a problem with handling key events.When the activity starts, the only keys that onKeyDown or onKeyUp get called for are the dpad up/down/left/right keys.Neither the menu, back, or dpad_center keys trigger onKey methods. However, once I've pushed one of the dpad up/down/left/right buttons, pressing the menu, back, or dpad_center keys do trigger these methods. I'm not getting any errors, or any indication of what's going wrong.It's possible that the focus is set wrong - the activity is started from a button on screen, so it could be in touchscreen mode. If that's the case, shouldn't touching the back button get me in to the right focus mode so that I can catch the event?I'm using the emulator from SDK-1.5r3.I have not been able to try this on a real phone yet.

Android :: OnLowMemory Not Getting Called

Apr 6, 2010

I'm working on an application which allocates lot of memory and hence I'm bound to get OutOfMemory. I want a way to get notified when system is running short of memory so that I can stop processing further, notify user and release as much memory as possible.

According to official Android documentation there is a callback onLowMemory from the system. I have a class which extends android.app.Application and I have overridden onLowMemory() method. This class has entry in the in the application tag of AndroidManifest. However it never gets called in my case. Do I need to register for this event using AndroidManifest or any other means?

Android :: OnContextMenuClosed() Not Called Under 2.x

Jan 1, 2010

In one of my applications I programmatically open the context menu when something is clicked in my MapActivity overlay. This works perfectly under 1.x as well as on my 2.0 Milestone. I've used showContextMenuForChild() historically, but openContextMenu() does that same thing.

As expected onCreateContextMenu() is called to build the menu and then onContextItemSelected() is called when something is selected. So far all is well.

The odd thing is that under 1.x the onContextMenuClosed() method is called when I press the back key, but not so under 2.0. This confuses states for my app since I need to know whether menu is shown or not - or maybe there is a way to know this that I have not (yet) figured out...

Is this a deliberate change or should I file it as a bug? Googling comes up pretty dry (stuff that is over a year old).

Anyone with a 2.0.1 Droid that would care to test whether this has already been fixed? (The ETA for Milestone 2.0.1 seems hazy still, but it appears that at least one of my reported bugs has been fixed in 2.0.1 event though it isn't flagged as such.)

Android :: OnSurfaceCreated Called Twice

Oct 27, 2010

Is there a way to make sure onSurfaceCreated is called only once during startup.

Currently in my app it gets called once with say 800x480 then it gets called a second time with 480x800. I guess this is probably due to a call to setRequestedOrientation in onCreate. Is there any way to make sure the app starts in a particular orientation, to prevent orientation changes, and to have onSurfaceCreated get called only once during start up?

Android :: OnSaveInstanceState() Normally Not Called?

Jul 5, 2009

Am I right to assume that onSaveInstanceState() is not normally called (which my logging indicates) - but only when the system is forced to kill an Activity. If so, since onPause() does not receive a bundle, what is the best way to save state that should be restored the next time the Activity is created?

Android :: OnTouch Not Called?

Aug 4, 2010

I'm trying to start activity by sweeping across the screen, it works fine for all the other screens, just this screen that doesn't fire the onTouch at all? Would you mind helping me? I've tried debugging it and still have no idea at all. Below are the codes, sorry for not putting snippets only as I thought I might did something wrong elsewhere

I'm also looking for advice on implementing sweeping to change screen. I've read about ViewFlipper and I know it will work very well, but I've around 8 screens with different backend coding needed.

Android :: Why OnKeyListener() Not Called

Sep 12, 2010

I defined an EditText-field and I want to be informed when the user edits that fields.
So I thought: simple - I add an OnKeyListener and so I did. But even though the text field gets edited (and even displays the entered/modified text) I don't get any callback, i.e. the LOG-output doesn't show up.

CODE:......

why that callback is never called?

Android is really full of oddities! It seems that almost nothing I touched so far worked immediatly as one would expect. And - believe it or not - I have LOTS of experience with GUIs, esp. in Java (AWT, Swing, SWT, you name it...) But Android is a really tough beast!

Android :: How Can GetContentResolver() Be Called

Sep 20, 2010

I want to know the context in which getContentResolver() is called ?

I have a scenario like this : I have an activity A that calls a method myFunc() of class B whcih is not an activity. So, in class B I have to use getContentResolver(). I directly called getContentResolver(). It was showing error. Then I called myFunc(Acitivy act) from the activity and called act.getContentResolver() which solved my problem. My question is is this the only way to call getContentResolver(), which means it can be used in context with activity or can be used alone.
