I can launch several activities by clicking on link. These Activities are - phone dialing, web browser and probably couple more. My question is how to extend this list? How to make new Activity launch-able by link clicking? Let's say if someone receives email with link myapp://something.here?par1=val1 and clicks on this link my Activity starts. Is it doable?

I'm using this code: I also tried adding <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.browser" /> to the manifest. Am I missing something here? PS: I'm not interested in using startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"))) as it will list all the choices for the browsing Intent.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have an app that has a "search on Google" button. Every time the user choose it, I want to bring up the browser and run a Google search. Currently, I use: startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)); However, each time, it launches a new Window inside the browser. After a few times, the browser complains that it cannot open new Window anymore. Is there a way to tell the browser to re-use the last Window I created? Something like what you would do with <href=xxx target=_mywindow> in HTML?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an app that launches the browser activity to perform a Twitter OAuth authorization. This process uses a callback url which will re-launch the activity that started the browser activity in the first place.My problem is that the browser pages remain in the history stack and when the user then clicks back from the preferences activity that launched the browser in the first place, they don't go back to the app's main activity, but instead are brought back to the browser. I've tried adding flags to the launching intent to prevent history and reset on clear, but it doesn't seem to work when running on my phone, only on the emulators.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it in any way possible to launch an activity from the main function without having a UI? i.e. is there a way to create a sort of "wrapper" around another activity, i.e. by launching the main activity, it takes you to another activity automatically. If that is not possible, is there a way to remove the main activity from the stack so that clicking the back button does not take you to a blank UI?
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
public class WrapperActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:555-1212"));
startActivity(intent);
}
}
Notice this on the stock browser when it first launches? This takes up at least 5 seconds or more when you're just trying to open up the browser to go to a site. Seems unnecessary. Would be better if it just pulled up the browser. Is there a setting to change this? I like the stock browser, otherwise and I'm not interested in Dolphin. I hear it has advertisements on it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Android development, so I might be missing something obvious. I want to launch an activity when the user's phone clock hits a specified time (similar to an alarm). However, I'm not sure how I would go about doing this as constant polling of the clock seems inefficient and a waste of resources. Do I need to capture broadcast events from the lclock, or use PendingIntents?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an screen that displays all the names in the Contacts in a ListView. When the user clicks on a name, I want to launch another Activity which display the details of the selected Contact (Phone number/ email) in another screen. How do I display details for the selected row. (i.e When starting the intent how do I send over the row_id of the item selected)?
I've tried the following code:
Intent i = new Intent(this, ContactDetails.class);
startActivity(i);
In order to keep some native code happy, I need to launch an activity in a new process. Does anyone know how to do this?
I can set the activity's process attribute in the manifest, but this will cause *all* instances of the activity to appear in the *same* process, which I can't have.
I'm willing to use internal APIs for this, and I've found Process.start(), but it's not at all clear how this is supposed to be used.
I have just created and iPhone web app, which has some x264 (mp4) video files on it. When I link directly to the file on the iPhone and the user taps the link, the video player is loaded and the video starts playing. Using the app on an Android phone causes the browser to download the video instead of just playing it. Is there a way to force a video player to just boot up and play the video not download it?
