Android :: How Do I Simulate Home Key Programmatically?
Mar 10, 2010
I have a requirement to implement an Exit button in my Android application. I don't really care about killing the activity stack, I just want to have the same effect as pressing the Home button. So that application state is saved and can be returned to. But this doesn't accomplish anything, the PhoneWindowManager does not get the key press.I assume I need to launch an Intent with the right info, but I haven't been able to figure out how that would be done.

I'm developing on Android. I have to restart home and all its components (widgets, shortcuts, etc..).
For example, when we have a Force Close, the home screen restart and reload all its components.

I need my activity to handle HOME button press with a receiver programmatically, but the event is not firing. I can,however, successfully register and capture this intent filter if I declare it in a manifest.xml activity section.Does anyone know why this doesn't capture the home button click?By the way, I tried working around this by creating another activity and specifying its intent filter in the manifest. I set the activity enabled="false" in the manifest but I couldn't figure out how to enable that activity at run time. Bottom line, I only want to register the home button intent filter for my application only when my application is running, and I can't figure out how to do that.

I have some questions related to Android's home-screen contents:
1) Is there a way to programmatically delete a home-screen shortcut on Android? I know that it can be done manually but I want to do it in code.
2) Is there a directory where all the contents of the home-screen are stored and, if there is, is there a way to update the contents of this directory?

Here's the code for the receiver:

I put a breakpoint here to see if this gets called } };

I've a widget which i would like to delete programmatically if the user gives the command by clicking on some button or so.. But as per my knowledge the app programme and the widget programme will be running in different processes. So how is it possible to get the controll of another process remote view and delete the same clearing all the db contents related to the widget?

I run the emulator from the sdk version 1.1_r1 and when I try to make an outgoing data connection during a incoming call the data connection will not be esablished BUT it works fine if I disconnect the call. I have seen the same behaviour on other phones that run GSM instead of 3G. Are the emulator simulating GSM? If so can I switch to 3G or is there any other way that I can have a outgoing data connection during an incoming call?I have tried the "emulator.exe -netspeed" option but if I understand it correctly it only set the speed of the connection and not the connection mode.

What is the mechanism used to simulate SMS messaging between emulator instances? Does it use sockets? Is there documentation of this available?

Our app seem to misbehave sometimes when user plug USB cable to the device. Is there any way to simulate this event using Android simulator? Since it does not matter what type of USB connection is set (SD card access or just charging) I may just need the OS to "think" the USB cable has been connected and do what it does on the device. Can I achieve this in any sane way?

I would like to check from my app whether the device has WiFi connectivity, but in order to do that, I must first find a way to get "WiFi" in the emulator. Just going to Settings -> Wireless controls -> Wifi says Unable to start Wi-Fi, while logcat says:How can I simulate WiFi connectivity in the emulator?

I'm trying automate UI Functional testing of my application.
1) First phase: Record the user actions and playing back the same.
2) Second Phase: Adding Validation Capability to Recorded scripts.
In First Phase: I'm able to automate the Text/Editbox control actions without any issues, because we need to Set the Text of the control to the recorded value, so, its simple. While coming to Button Control actions, we need to simulate user actons, like Clicking on button. Can anyone suggest me, Do we have any mechanism, which can simulate button click event in Android?

I am wanting to simulate the look of the "recent applications" display that you get when you long press the home key. At first I thought it was a custom dialog but apparently (according to what I see in the Hierarchy viewer) it is a PhoneWindow$DecorView. I presume the DecorView is the main layout for this. According to the docs there is no layout or window named this, so I can not extend from it.

I was wondering if it would be possible to make an shortcut app that runs in the background to simulate a home, or back button press... Maybe with a two finger swipe or something. I have the Droid X, and the only thing I don't like is the hard buttons.

I'm trying to write an application that needs to know when there is no IP network connection available. I am using the android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE broadcast event along with ConnectivityManager to react to the changes in state to achieve this, but I'm having problems testing my set up in the emulator.I have tried both flight mode and pressing F8 to disable the "Cellular Network" but even with both of these engaged the application still "sees" the underlying network.Has anybody managed to find a way to simulate a total lack of network access?

I am planning an app with a "coin flipping simulation" function(Activity) in an Android phone. I am new to 3D (OpenGL) here , and I know there will be a lot of efforts to build from scratch. So , I am looking for an existing 3D engine , which is able to simulate :
Coin flip and drop , with G-Sensor , so that users can shake/wave his phone to see the coins flipping.
Able to get which coin is up or down after the coins drop.
Able to assign how many coins are in the 'hands(or virtual table)'
Able to render different textures to the coins
The simulation must be the more realistic the better. So there should be a built-in gravity algorithm.
OpenSource is welcome , and Commercial is acceptable too.
Can someone give me some suggestions , or existing libraries , or algorithms (gravity ...)

I am working with an hardware that have just five buttons. But I have just one button available to the following functions: home, back, search, soft-back(menu). The hardware is for automotive use, so that is because he doesn't have the common buttons of a cell phone. So I am thinking about create a second virtual keyboard that is called by this available button, to show these buttons that are missing on hardware. I want to know if it is possible to do. If it is, what type of code should I follow to create this extra virtual keyboard? I think a good start is to look at the code of the current virtual keyboard.

An app I'm developing opens a TCP socket connection to a server. That works great, no problems. What I want to do is simulate network delay and slow speeds, but the changes don't do anything. I telnet in to the emulator console just fine and can set the delay and speed changes, but they don't affect my app in any way. Even disabling data entirely (gsm data off) doesn't do anything. However, all of the settings affect the browser, just not my app. I'm just using a regular Java socket (java.net.Socket). What am I missing?
