How can I know the visible size of my activity? I'm trying to get the Activity real size, not the height and width from getHeight() and getWidth(),which gives me the screen full size.

I would like to launch an intent when any of my activity is visible, otherwise I will put it up as a notification, and will be fired by the user. To decide this, I need to know if any of my activity is front-most, how do I that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am experimenting with using a WebView to display Flash content inside my activity. Everything is working pretty well, but when the user hits the home key to put the activity into the background, the Flash content keeps running (sound keeps playing, etc)
I have noticed that both the stock Android browser and Dolphin Browser seem to avoid this problem, and properly pause the Flash content when the browsing activity is put into the background.
Ideally I would like a solution that kills the WebView completely if the activity is finishing, but pauses it otherwise (basically copying the default behavior of the browser)
Here is a simple test I put together that loads a game on Kongregate which has some background music:
CODE:..............
I took a look at the latest source for the stock browser, and it seems to be doing something similar (calling pauseTimers/resumeTimers), although I fear the code I have been looking at is out of date, because it is calling functions that don't seem to exist anymore.
I did verify that the call to pauseTimers is working by testing with a simple JavaScript setInterval which updates a counter. Is there something else obvious that I should be trying in regard to Window or View management?
The documentation for the mobile Flash player says:
Flash Player will also automatically pause SWF playback it is not in view or the foreground application, for example when a call is received or alarm goes off, to reduce CPU utilization, battery usage and memory usage.
This seems to be working perfectly in both the stock browser and Dolphin Browser, but not in my app. Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Update: Here is the function we ended up adding to our activity to get this to work. We call it with "onPause" in the activity's onPause function and "onResume" in the activity's onResume function:

like many others, I want to kill my Android application on "exit" button. Really kill, not just move to background and stop all active code. (I know very well that Android does not like it.) I found Process.killProcess(Process.myPid()); and System.exit(0) which both work fine (I have no problem with activity stack, the "exit" button is in my base Activity.). But there is a problem. When I kill my process and I am back in the shell, I press [Home] button. It shows list of applications that are on the background including my application which has been killed.
Is there a way how to do both: 1) kill the process and 2) remove it from the Android application list that is shown after user presses [Home] button? Thanks for all replays (with the exception of that stupid "you should not exit applications explicitly on Android"
When i ran my old application in 1.6 i noticed that the progress bar was not showing up on the screen.When i analyzed it further i found the issue.The progress bar is getting activated but its not visible since my background color is also white.When i changed the background color i was able to see the progress bar.Is there no other way to make the progress bar visible other than changing the background color..Shouldn't the progress bar be visible under all background colors??
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have developed an App that launches and works fine on Android 1.5 and 1.6. When I try and use it on version higher then that the app's activity starts, progress dialogs pop up and I can see my Async Task executing and the info being returned via Logcat. No errors or exceptions are shown. But the Activity never displays. All I see is the progress dialog showing over the home screen and then nothing. The process is active and running under the DDMS view.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to do some data processing (in a thread) right after my main Activity starts. For that data processing to be started I also need to know a visible size of my main View (which is a LinearLayout currently, but whatever).I wonder how to do that. I.e. I wonder what is the entry point (callback?) I should use to be sure that my main View has been layed out, so i can use view.getWidth/getHeight? Is creating a custom View and reimplementing it's onSizeChanged() - the only way? In this case how should I properly describe it in my xml layout file? (it will contain some child views)

i am not getting the solution so please give some idea for resolve the issue.
I have an activity which uses android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog". The activity contains an ImageView which can show images of different dimensions. The ImageView should scale the Image so that it entirely fits into the window, at least on axes fits entirely and maintains the original aspect ratio. The size of the dialog should only be as large as the ImageView (plus its border width).
I tried the following but the dialog window always uses the whole available space:
code:............................
So I'm loading images from a web service, but the size of the images are sometimes smaller or bigger than other images and the visualization looks silly when I put them in a ListView in android. I'd like to fix the size of my ImageView so that it only shows a portion of the image if it's larger than a preset amount. I've tried everything I can think of setting the setMaxWidth/setMaxHeight, setting the scale type to centerCrop, using ClipableDrawable wrapping my BitmapDrawable, setting using Drawable.setBounds(). I've tried setting in the XML and programmatically, but neither worked. I'm very surprised setting max width/height didn't do anything. Below is the XML I'm using ImageView definition in my layout file
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently developing a dictionary application with voice database. I would like to know about the current Android limitation on the file size. I am using a self-provided sqlite database ( > 50mb ) . I tested that once the built .apk size exceeds ~30mb the app will not be installed onto the simulator (INSTALL_FAILED_ INSUFFICIENT _STORAGE). Could anyone confirm me that if up until now there is no way to embed such large size files in a single apk ( Aimed to sell at Google Market without requiring user to download datafile afterwards). Also, is there a limitation of 1,048,576 bytes for a single file in the assets folder ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan somebody explain to me what makes up the installed application size? I have an apk that is about 8 MB, and often when I install I get the INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error. I have around 25-30 MB free space on the phone. I'm doing debugging so I have to upload lots of new versions. If I uninstall the previous version then I can install the new version. The application manager claims that the app is taking up 22 MB. So back to the original question, how come the app is taking up 22 MB when it really only is 8 MB?

I kept getting OutOfMemoryErrors (if anyone could explain this too, that'd be great!) and so I took a look at the sizes of the images saved to the sd card, and they seem to be roughly double what they are on the server. Why is this, and how can I make them smaller?

View 1 Replies View RelatedApp is called Tasker. It should be visible in all Donut+ devices but it's only actually visible in Eclair+ devices. Tested on my G1, reported by other users (devices unknown).
Manifest:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="4" />
A dump from the compiled apk confirms that.
Here's the top of my Ant output:
Buildfile: build.xml [setup] Android SDK Tools Revision 6 [setup] Project Target: Android 1.6 [setup] API level: 4 [setup] Importing rules file: platforms/android-1.6/ant/ ant_rules_r2.xml
Copy protect is set to off.
And the app works fine when installed on a Donut device outside the market.
I noticed that appbrain also reports it as 2.0 and higher: http://www.appbrain.com/app/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
