Android :: How To Start An Activity From A View In Droid?
Jun 18, 2010
Is there a way to start an activity from a view? I have this nice view that renders these menu buttons and when they click a particular button (Trapped in an onTouch event) I want to start the "clicked" activity. It seems that there from my view startActivity method is uncallable. So that leads me to believe that there is no way to do this, in which case I guess I am asking, what do I do here when I want this menu to have a view that animates drawables and can get touches to know what "button" was pressed to know what activity to start?

I have an application with contains multiple activities. The main activity will start the others ( use startActivity() ) depends on user event, when an activity close, it calls finish() and return back to main activity. It appears to behavior like that.
However, the "problem" I see is main activity's onCreate function is called every time. I think the the main activity should be placed in the activity stack and simply push to front when others exit, therefore only onResume, onStart are called. Is there some flag I need to set or I misunderstand the activity behaviro?
In child activity, besides calling finish() or startActivity for main activity, what is other way to move main activity to front?

I created an application which enables the user to set whether he wants to receive notification while the application runs in background mode. If the notifications are enabled an activity should be started (the dialog should appear on the screen).
I tried to enabled it the following way:
CODE:...........
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)?

I have tried to write an Android application with an activity that should be launched from a different application. It is not a content provider, just an app with a gui that should not be listed among the installed applications. I have tried the code examples here and it seems to be quite easy to launch existing providers and so on, but I fail to figure out how to just write a "hidden" app and launch it from a different one.
The basic use case is:
App A is a normal apk launchable from the application list.
App B is a different apk with known package and activity names, but is is not visible or launchable from the application list.
App A launches app B using the package and class names (or perhaps a URI constructed from these?).
I fail in the third step. Is it possible to do this?

I have a huge maze of activities in my application. What I need to do, is that when the user logs in into the system, the activity history should be cleared. I cant just use finish() when I start a new activity, because I want the activities to have a history until the user logs in. I have experimentet with the different flags when starting an activity, but I have had no success.

I have had my Droid for almost a month now and i love it,,, but there are a couple of really annoying things that it does, and i was wondering if it was just me, or if anyone else has these problems too...
I will hit the unlock button on the top and start to do my pattern, and all the sudden, it says that i lifted my finger... and takes two tries out....
I will hit the unlock button and start my pattern and the screen will shut off like there is no activity and i will have to hit the unlock button again, and start over.
Oh and how about this, tried both handcent and stock messaging app, i regularly have periods of long delay from both receiving and sending text messages, i will be sending one text and get a text sending overload message also.... then i will have periods of sending and receiving the exact same text 10-15 times in a row.... this happens all of the time and its extremely annoying....

I currently have a tab layout with 2 tabs, one tab with a list view and one with the option make strings so I can add them in the list view. Both tabs have their own activity because this made the code much more structured, and I dont have to repeat my self later.
Lets say im in the tab that offer me to create an string, and i press the update list button, how do I update the list view without startActivity()? If i use startActivity(), it starts List.java, and instead of displaying the list in the list view tab, it takes full screen, which defies the purpose of the tab view. In other words, the startActivity() steals the focus from the tab view of the list, and sends it fulscreen.
I want to update the activity in my list view tab, without starting a new activity that goes to fullscreen, and doesnt update the one in the tab.

I have created two classes: Example1 and Example2, which extends activity.
Example1 contains a UI of buttons, while Example2 contains UI of TextEdit.
I want to call Example2 when a button is clicked, so this code is in an onclick method
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("com.a.ui", "com.a.ui.Example2");
startActivity(i);
So I am able to get the UI of Example2 successfully.
What's an alternate way of calling intent?
Is there any alternate way to start an activity?

I'm trying to do some dynamic code and I load a new class that's supposed to be an Activity and I want to start it, but using the regular startActivity(Intent) wants the Activity to be "Declared" in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

I have ListViewActivity
public class SelectActivity extends ListActivity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.select_one_of);
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
this,
createChildList(),
R.layout.select_one_of_childrow,
new String[] { KEY_VALUE },
new int[] { R.id.selectoneof_add_new_item});
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
// ...
}
after setListAdapter() calls I would like to execute the following code:
((TextView) getListView().getChildAt(0).findViewById(R.id.selectoneof_add_new_item)).setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.ticked, 0); but getListView().getChildAt(xxx) returns null and I catch NullPointerException. Where should I put mentioned above code-snippet?

I am trying to make a PopupWindow show straight away when an activity has started.
when calling public void showAtLocation (View parent, int gravity, int x, int y)
I get the exception ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2500): Caused by: android.view.WindowManager $BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running?
At the moment I am calling from onCreate, but when calling from onStart or onResume it still gives the same error.
The activity api says the activity is supposed to be running after onResume is called. Where is the best place to load up the PopupWindow if it needs to be done straight away?
At the moment It looks like Activity.onWindowFocusChanged() is the best place.

For example, I have a activity (com.test.StartTest) and there is a button that used to start some activity Settings owned by the Phone:
