In my app, I'm creating a notification with the FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT flag set.I'm cancelling the notification in onDestroy, but if my app crashes before calling onDestroy, is there any way to have my notification go away?

I'm trying to understand remote services at the moment and everything works fine, i can start the service and know how to communicate with it through the AIDL-interface. My problem is that the service seems to still run in the same process like the activity it was started from, because the activity crashes too, if there is an error thrown in the Service.
I set the service process to remote ( android:process=":remote" ) so what am i doing wrong? Or what do i have to do to unbind the service-process completely from the activity-process?
we are developing an application where we are depending on a native, custom-written library which sometimes crashes. When the Activity crashes (it's the Activity's SurfaceView that crashes, either while resuming or pausing Activity) we would like to automatically restart the Activity that was just running, preferably without seeing the idle screen in between. What we find strange is that sometimes, our Activity is restarted by Android automatically after the crash, and sometimes not. How does Android decide this? Is it somehow dependant on exactly what the Activity was doing at the time of the crash and if that was considered important enough to restart? How can we force a restart to make sure the Activity doesn't quit after a crash? Running on device flashed with Android 1.5. The Activity is running as singleInstance. Doesn't seem to make much difference which mode it is though. Other methods we have tried are:
1) Since we can predict when crash is going to happen(but not stop it), use AlamrManager to start the Activity again via an Intent, 3 seconds later. Has the disadvantages that 1) need to be able to predict crash 2) if crash takes longer than 3 seconds (normally about 2s) it won't work 3) Idle screen is seen for about ~1 s, since some slack is needed.
2) Start a Service, then let the Service (which always seems to be restarted by Android after crashing) start the Activity in its onStart method. Has the disadvantage that Android doesn't restart the service until 5 seconds after the crash, so the idle screen is seen quite along time before Activity restarts. Is it possible to modify how long it takes before the Service is restarted by the Android system?
So I have an app with Activity A. The layout on the activity is dynamic genearted. So it's possible that on Activity A a user hits a button that goes to "A" and the new page looks different, then a user clicks another button to go to "A" again. Now I have 2 Activities in the history stack. A, A, and currently on A. Is it possible that if a user clicks a button that the whole Activity stack is cleared in a scenario such as this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAll the current discussions involves clearing all activites above an existing activyt, but I'm trying to find a way to clear all the activities before the latest activity in the stack. So my scenario is A -> B -> C and then when a user goes to Activity D, activies A,B,C should be cleared from the activity stack. FLAG_ACTIVITY _CLEAR_TOP seems to only clear any activites above an existing activity. Anybody run into this scenario and found a solution?
View 4 Replies View Relatedi want to clear the activity stack and replace it with a new activity as the root activity, even if that activity exists somewhere on the stack (or not). i see FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, but it's not obvious to me how to use those in conjunction to achieve what I want. it's like i want to completely restart the task with some activity that i specify as the new root.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy app crashes when i call a ListActivity from an Activity. I have searched on Internet and many people ask the same but i have not found any response. The only person i have found that solves the problems says that he solved changing manifest but he does not say nothing else. I i put the ListAvtivity as main activity in manifest app works ok buet if a set an Activity as main activity an then call ListActivity like:
Intent searchAct = new Intent(this, SearchResult.class); startActivity(searchAct);
then my app crashes. Des anybody know what happens?
I am wondering how you would cancel a notification when you are not the party executing the associated Intent.For example, think about an Intent like ACTION_VIEW and a data/url like http://google.com. This intent is then wrapped into a PendingNotification and used by a notification. So when the user clicks on the notification the intent is fired, the browser opens, but the notification is not cancelled. As my code is not the receiver of the Intent how should I cancel it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have read many examples of how to create notification messages.What i wanted to achieve, is because the notification will be executed by a widget, i would like the notification intent when clicked to clear it self when the user clicks on it.I do not have an activity to return to.The notification for my purposes will just plainly notify, nothing else.So what would be the code of an intent that just clear/cancel itself.The code below is an activity launched by a button(button code not included) the notification will be fired up by a background service.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to clear our Activity stack? For example, a user in my app progresses through these activities, one is launched from the previous activity: ActivityA -> ActivityB -> ActivityC if the user is now looking at ActivityC, and they hit the back button, they will go back to ActivityB. Is it possible to add a menu to ActivityC where the user can clear their activity stack, and then launch a new instance of ActivityA? This would be so the user can jump to a particular activity in my application without getting confused with the back button + history,

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have three activities. Activity A start activity B by the method startActivityForResult, and Activity B start activity C by the method startActivity. Then, after starting activity C, activity B kill himself by finish(). Now the task stack stored two activities: A and C. My question is: how can I finish activity A when I finish activity C. or how can I clear the whole stack of the task.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat's the best way to clear the notification number when the user clicks on the notification? I say the best way, but really I haven't found ANY way. I'm launching a built in activity when the user clicks on the notification, not something I wrote so I can't clear it that way. I've got the notification manager's flag set to clear.But whatever I do the Notification.number keeps going up and never resets to 0.

All was well.yesterday, I had a Voice mail notifier appear and it was the symbol that looks like a cassette tape sort of. This ca be accessed through the basic SMS messages icon.It wants me to dial my # and listen to a message. There is no message, and I do not know how to clear the notification.Also, I do not know where this VM came from and I want to get rid of it so it does not happen again. removing the Messaging tab and reinstalling it, nothing changed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an application with 2 activities, LogonAct and MainAct. LogonAct is a logon activity which I want to force the user to go through each time they return to the application. I've set android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" on LogonAct.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAll activities in my application require a user to be logged-in to view. Users can log out from almost any activity. This is a requirement of the application. At any point if the user logs-out, I want to send the user to the Login Activity. At this point I want this activity to be at the bottom of the history stack so that pressing the "back" button returns the user to Android's home screen.
I've seen this question asked a few different places, all answered with similar answers (that I outline here), but I want to pose it here to collect feedback. I've tried opening the Login activity by setting its Intent flags to FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP which seems to do as is outlined in the documentation, but does not achieve my goal of placing the Login activity at the bottom of the history stack, and preventing the user from navigating back to previously-seen logged-in activities. I also tried using android: launchMode ="singleTop" for the Login activity in the manifest, but this does not accomplish my goal either (and seems to have no effect anyway). I believe I need to either clear the history stack, or finish all previously- opened activities. One option is to have each activity's onCreate check logged-in status, and finish() if not logged-in. I do not like this option, as the back button will still be available for use, navigating back as activities close themselves. The next option is to maintain a LinkedList of references to all open activities that is statically accessible from everywhere (perhaps using weak references). On logout I will access this list and iterate over all previously-opened activities, invoking finish() on each one. I'll probably begin implementing this method soon.
I'd rather use some Intent flag trickery to accomplish this, however. I'd be beyond happy to find that I can fulfill my application's requirements without having to use either of the two methods that I've outlined above. Is there a way to accomplish this by using Intent or manifest settings, or is my second option, maintaining a LinkedList of opened activities the best option? Or is there another option that I'm completely overlooking?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI had tried to download 1 attachment from my Gmail app on Nexus S. The attachment got downloaded. But the download status bar in notification view which comes when we drag it down is still there. I tried several things like restarting phone , deleting and downloading the related file again etc.
But still the problem persists.
Galaxy S4 on 4.3 using stock email app for Exchange connectivity. (Verizon)
I receive about 100 new messages a day from our Exchange server. 1st email comes in for the day and I get a from and subject in the status bar. Messages after that show : (message count) new messages blah blah. By the end of the day it says I have 100 new messages. If I clear the notification, the next time I get a new email, it says 101 new emails. The "clear notifications" does not reset the count! It does for Gmail, which makes sense. The only thing that will reset the count is by going into the email program and then exiting back out. This is a bug, right? I realize I can "drag down" and get more detail on the messages, which is great, but I want the count to reset when I swipe the notification away.
I am writing an app for a smart watch and the problem lies where everything after the first message is not giving me the detailed information I need for my app. As a human using the phone, I can just launch the email app. No big deal. Can't do that from a watch when the phone is locked.
At the moment I am using CM 7.1 on my Desire HD.
I was wondering if it is possible that when I swipe to clear a notification (in particular messages, I used GO SMS for text messages and Whatsapp) that it counts as a 'read' message. At the moment it just removes it from the notification bar although the message is still unread.
I hope I made clear what I am trying to get across. Is what I am looking for even possible?

Is it possible to start an activity on the stack, clearing the entire history before it? The situation I have an activity stack that either goes A->B->C or B->C (screen A selects the users token, but many users only have a single token). In screen C the user may take an action which makes screen B invalid, so the application wants to take them to screen A, regardless of whether it is already in the stack. Screen A should then be the only item on the stack in my application. Notes There are many other similar questions, but I haven't found anything that answers this exact question. I tried calling getParent().finish() - this always results in a null pointer exception. FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP only works if the activity is already on the stack.
