Android :: How To Launch External Activity In Current Activity's Process?

Aug 27, 2010

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?

Android :: Launch An Activity In A New Process

Jul 29, 2010

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.

Android :: Finish Activity Not Started From Current Activity

May 1, 2010

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.

Android :: Launch Activity Without UI?

Apr 24, 2010

Is 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);
}
}

Android :: Launch Activity At Certain Time

Dec 28, 2009

I'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?

Android :: Start External App / Activity And Add My Own Header?

Jan 16, 2010

I am using Sygic Navigation on my HTC Hero. I can start it by calling the correct intent as I described here. Now, Sygic starts in fullscreen-mode and I cannot use the BACK-button to go back to my previous Activity (dont ask me why).

The question is: is there some trick or way so I can control how that Sygic Activity is started? I want to add my own "header" on top; the header contains my buttons for navigation. It would be great if I could add that header, then have Sygic below that (as the "content" then, as shown here).

Android :: How To Update App's Icon Launch Activity?

Jul 14, 2010

I'm currently running into an issue that makes sense but I'm not too sure how to resolve it... Here is the scenario: App v1 icon LAUNCH is set to Activity Main from the manifest file. App v2 icon LAUNCH is set to Activity All from the manifest file and Activity Main no longer exists. After updating to App v2 the app icon fails to launch the application saying it doesn't exist! After a restart of the phone things work. So how can I refresh the applications package or better the launch icon and shortcut icons so that my users don't experience this after an upgrade of my newest app version?
