How can I know what Activity has started the current Activity? Is there any specific method like, i.e. getIntent().getCallerActivity() or the only way is saving some information within the Intent using putExtra()?

I have following problem with my application: From my main activity ("activity 1"), there is a menu from which user can launch an action. This action will result in an Intent being received by a BroadcastReceiver, defined in my application. Finally, this BroadcastReceiver will start an activity ("activity 2") to deal with this intent.
The problem is that I have a "quit application" entry in my menu, and I can only finish() currently active activity. ie I am not able to finish "activity 1" from the menu of "activity 2". And I can't use startActivityForResult() as "activity 2" can't be started from "activity 1". Any suggestion would be much appreciated Thank you very much guys, regards.
I have a very simple android project. I got the following error message when I try to run it. The emulator is running but the application doesn't come up. I couldn't find any useful information online.

It doesn't give me an error it says exactly this when I run the android emulator
"[2010-08-25 09:12:42 - doppler_test] ActivityManager: Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front"
What I think this means is that the intent of the bluetooth function and the button intent is only operation on a hierarchy system. What I mean by this is that if I were to move the button opperator above the Bluetooth stuff the button will work, but currently when the app is run Bluetooth works but when I press the search button nothing happens.
What else may be helpful is my XML code for the button so here it is......

I want to display a splash screen followed by my trial.class.I am not getting any error but warning as:
Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front
I have different-2 approches for this each time this warning is being displayed.
CODE:.....................
The default behavior of an activity when BACK softkey is pressed is, GO BACK TO PREVIOUS ACTIVITY. If some the same activity is waiting for some response from server or some data updation is going on and then press BACK, I want to wait on the same screen till the current task is completely processed and then move out to the previous activity.

I have a TabActivity, and each Tab corresponds to its own Activity. In one of them, in the onCreate method, I use startActivityForResult to show a dialog (specifically, Bump's BumpAPI activity).
code:...............
The problem is that when the screen orientation changes, it tries to create the tab's activity again which makes another BumpAPI dialog, resulting in multiple stacked on top of each other. Do I have a hook into the started activity to cancel the previous one when the orientation changes?
A workaround seems to be to add a button that when clicked, starts the second activity, but that adds an unnecessary step.
Also, I can't fix the screen orientation for the entire tabActivity because some of them require typing and users may want to use their physical keyboards.
My app is comprised of a set of reusable Activities that other apps can reuse. For various reasons, I would like my Activities to be launched in context of the invoking Activity's process, instead of always being launched in my Activity's process (default behavior on Android). How can I achieve this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just want to get numbers of times to be used for each Activity.
So the very straightforward method I thought is increasing the count for an Activity when it was started. But how can I get the information?
Is there a way to do this?
Can you access the activity stack in a way to grab what activity came before the one now in view?
I have a situation where an activity needs to know where it was started from, so it knows what data to display in that current activity.
startActivity() displays the new Activity on top of the current one. But how to display it underneath instead? BTW, I'm starting an Activity from another application, if that makes a difference.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a central activity that can be launched from two separate classes. I was hoping that in this central activity I could have an IF statement like
if(this.getIntent() == MainMenu.class)
{
// Do something here
}
But obviously that isn't legal so how could I structure an expression to check from what class an intent was started.
I have small simple Service and big MainActivity with UI. Service is called periodically from AlarmManager. My Service need to know if MainActivity is on the screen and inform MainActivity about state changing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSuppose my application P started Activity A, and A started Activity B, then the activity stack contained A and B, with B at the top.
After that, I opened other apps by pressing Home button. Suppose after a while, the process of application P is killed by the OS. Then, I press Home button to select application P. At this time, which activity will be brought to the front, Activity A or Activity B?
I've a service which listens to user request for ending one activity and starting another activity. For Ex: Say there are activities1,2 ,& 3. Now if there is already activity1 started by someother activity then based on the user request i need to stop activity1 and start activity2 or activity3. If the acitivity1 is started by my service then i can do finishactivity(requestcode) and shall receive a call to onActivityResult() then i can start next activity 2 or 3. But can i stop the activity1 which is started by some other activity from a service?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've successfully implemented a BootReceiver, AlarmManager, and Service per the code here: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/SystemServices...
Inside the doWakefulWork method of the Service I am instantiating a few classes, but some of them require my Activity to be running. How do I actually start the Activity? The code above only starts the AlarmManager and Service.
There are also times where the Activity *is* already started, like if the user manually opened it. So I also need to start the Activity "only if it's not already running". Hows that work?
And what about the situation where the user first installs your application and may not even reboot their phone for a week. In that case, do you have to start the Service from the Activity? But then the Service will die with the Activity.
At the beginning Activity is launched by an Intent and something is done with this Intent. When I change orientation of my Activity, it's reloaded again and Intent is passed to the Activity. How can I clear that Intent to prevent Activity from using it again?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got an Android application which needs to be woken up sporadically throughout the day.To do this, I'm using the AlarmManager to set up a PendingIntent and have this trigger a BroadcastReceiver. This BroadcastReceiver then starts an Activity to bring the UI to the foreground.All of the above seems to work, in that the Activity launches itself correctly; but I'd like the BroadcastReceiver to notify the Activity that it was started by the alarm (as opposed to being started by the user). To do this I'm trying, from the onReceive() method of the BroadcastReceiver to set a variable in the extras bundle of the intent,Can anyone tell me what's different about passing a bundle from a BroadcastReceiver to an Activity, as opposed to passing the bundle from an Activity to a BroadcastReceiver?

So If I call a locationListener in activity A, can I reference it in activities B C and D?
if is was still in activity A I could say something like
A.this.mlocListener.removeMyUpdates();
When I am in activity B how can I reference the LocationListener I set up in Activity A
i've developed an android app that's fetches an xml file and displays this data via several markers on the map. This works fine so far. The problem right now is that when i switch the orientation of the phone (portrait->landscape or vice versa) the markers disappear for a small moment, the xml processing is started again and then they reappear. Is there a way to prevent this re-loading of the file? It only takes about 2-3 seconds.
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)

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my game when the user completes a stage, I want the main game thread to pause/sleep/wait and a new activity to be launched called StageClear that displays information about points scored etc. After this has been displayed and the user has pressed continue I want the original game thread to resume where it left off. I have tried to implement this but have so far been unsuccessful, probably because I'm new to dealing with multiple threads and also the idea of synchronizing them. I most recently tried to implement a shared package-visible object that could notify after wait was called on itself, but I am getting errors in eclipse so it won't even compile, I think because though the object is declared public in an inner class, it cannot be seen or recognised by my activity elsewhere in a file in the package. I have already built both activities but my issue is getting the main game one to launch the other, and pause whilst it waits for this activity to finish, before the main game thread continues execution.

i.e. I have a service started by an Activity A, and now I want to stop the service by another activty say Activity B.
Since Activity B doesnt know about the service, i want to capture the events in OnKeyDown() of the Activity B in my service...
Is this possible.. How can i get the Activity B's object..?
I 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.
