Android :: Does An App Only Have One Context Object
Jul 19, 2010I'm confused about the concept of the Context class. I see that it's a base class of Activity, but the Android docs also mentions the Context storing global information about the app environment. So in my app which has 3 activities, does that mean I have 3 distinct Context objects, or do they actually refer to 1 entity? Also, what is the lifetime of a Context object- does it live until the last component of this activity's process is garbage collected?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Get Context Without Having To Pass It As Argument?
Aug 21, 2010I'm not sure if this is an Android question or just due to my being new to Java as well. I'd like to use the getString method to get strings from my resources (R.string.whatever). I see that this is a method of the Context class, and I can call it directly from within my main Activity class. But I also have some utility classes in their own class files and can't simply call this method from them. What seems to be required is for me to pass the context (the Activity object) into these other classes via their constructors. Then I can call the method e.g., mCtx.getString(). I guess my main question is whether there's another way to get the Context without having to pass it from class to class as an argument.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Singleton Object With Context?
Oct 10, 2010I often run into the following dilemma: I need some singleton-like object in my app (typically some central manager-like thing) and this object needs a context for various things. This means that I either have to pass a context to all methods needing one or have some sort of init-pattern to the object. Neither is pretty I think. What is the correct way of doing this? Or is this simply (even the definition of) a Service?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Get Activity Object While In View Context
Oct 10, 2010This is a followup to this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3897176/findviewbyid-in-a-subclassed-surfaceview-throwing-runtimeexception Based on Romain Guy's feedback (which I'll accept shortly as it is a solution), I'd like to obtain the calling Activity from within the View, so that I can use it to obtain the desired Text View resource. I don't see any methods in View that return Activity. What is the proper way to do this? Or is there a better alternative for working with TextViews from within another View context. Basically, I am calling setContentView(R.layout.xxx) in onCreate() (as usual), so I don't really have a way to pass in references to additional TextViews unless I awkwardly retrieve the View after setContentView and then make calls on it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Pass Activity Context To Constructors To Use Internally / Is This Bad?
May 26, 2010Is is bad practice to pass the Context to a constructor and save it as a private variable for internal use? The other option is to pass the Context as a parameter to methods that need it.
Which is the better option?
I have a feeling that passing to the constructor might result in memory leaks accidentally.
Android :: Pass Unparcelable Object Between Activities
Nov 17, 2010I have an Object that I need to be able to pass between Activites. It implements Parcelable and I've written all the code related to that. The problem is that one of the properties of the Object is a Drawable - and really needs to be. Unfortunately, Drawable is neither Parcelable or Serializable. I don't understand how to pass it. The reason for having the Drawable is that I need to cache an Image that I've downloaded from the internet at runtime. I don't want to cache the images on the filesystem, since this would potentially end up using up a lot of space over time. I'm putting the image into a Drawable so that I can easily put it into an ImageView.

Android :: Way To Pass An Object Array To An Activity
Nov 15, 2010I have read posts on passing arrays from and to activities, but I am confused as to how I would do it for my specific case.
I have an array of objects called DaysWeather (a DaysWeather[] array) where the objects have several String attributes as well as a bitmap attribute. I read somewhere that you have to make it serializable or parceable or something, but it seems messy at first glance.
Could someone lead me in the right direction?
Is there a simple way to do this?
Android : Way To Pass A JavaScript Object On Droid?
Feb 12, 2010Is it possible to pass a JavaScript object from JavaScript to Java using addJavascriptInterface()? Something along these lines: var javaScriptObject = {"field1":"string1", "field2":"string2"}; JavaScriptInterface.passObject(javaScriptObject); How would such a call be captured on the Java side? I have no problem setting up the interface to send a string, but when I send an object, I receive null on the Java end.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Pass An Object To An Activity Via Intent.putExtra?
Aug 7, 2009I am developing an app that connects to a server. For that connection I created a class Client that maintains info about the connection . My app consists of several Activities and each of that Activity needs access to the Client object to communicate to the server. 1) Can I put somewhere the Client object so that all Acitvities have an access to it? 2) If not I would probably need to pass the object to each Activity via Intent.putExtra(). But putExtra doesn't accept Object as an argument. It only accepts several types like int, long, String etc. So how can I pass an object to another Activity?

Android :: Safely Pass Object References To New Activities?
Dec 8, 2009I'm working on an application that requires non-serializable objects to be passed between Activities. The following page suggests using a HashMap of WeakReferences to accomplish this:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/framework.html
Is this solution safe? I know Activities are completely destroyed and recreated when the screen orientation changes. Couldn't those weakly referenced objects get GCed in the split second when the screen is rotated, since they wouldn't be referenced elsewhere at that point?
Android :: Get Shared Preferences / Static Reference To A Context Object
Oct 19, 2010In my Android application, I have to call the getSharedPreferences in non-activity classes. In order to avoid passing a Context object to each constructor of these classes (and because many of them are classes with only static methods which don't have a constructor), I have implemented these steps : The main activity of my application (which is launched at startup) is called Dispatcher. In the onCreate method of this class, I keep a reference to the created Dispatcher object in a static public variable of the Dispatcher class which can be accessed from any class in the project.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Pass In Object Java Class Embedded In As Parameter
Apr 19, 2010I'm building an android application, which has a list view, and in the list view, a click listener, containing an onItemClick method. So I have something like this:
public class myList extends ListActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
getListView().setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
/* Do something*/
}
}
}
Normally, this works fine. However, many times I find myself needing too preform an application using the outer class as a context. thusfar, I've used: parent.getContext(); to do this, but I would like to know, is that a bad idea? I can't really call: because it's not really a subclass, just an embedded one. So is there any better way, or is that considered cosure? Also, if it is the right way, what should I do if the embedded method doesn't have a parameter to get the outside class?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Why Doesn't Context.bindService() Call OnStartCommand()?
Oct 22, 2010Here is what the SDK doc says about the bindService():
"Clients can also use Context.bindService() to obtain a persistent connection to a service. This likewise creates the service if it is not already running (calling onCreate() while doing so), but does not call onStartCommand()."
This means that the Service creation lifecyle events are different depending on whether or not the service is created out of startService() or bindService(). Why such difference?
