If (in Android) I have an EditText box, how can I trigger an event when the user has finished entering data and hits return/Next?
I have tried using the code below but it seems to have no effect. I also get an 'The method onEditorAction(EditText, int, KeyEvent) from the type new extView.OnEditorActionListener(){} is never used locally' error.
myEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new EditText.OnEditorActionListener() {
public boolean onEditorAction(EditText v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT)}
I would like to know if it's possible to update a third party application without user action. By 3rd party, I mean an application not located on the Android Market but rather on a specific website.

i have code that runs onitemselectedlistener event of spinner.So when i am in the method :
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
//I want to do something here if its a user who changed the the selected item
}
... can i know whether item selection was changed programmatically or by a user action through UI.
I looked around and although there are many related questions I didn't see one that answers my exact question:
I would like to create an app that runs in the background that provides the exact same functionality as the hard coded 'Back' button in all cases.
The reason? I (for example) have a Droid X, and it is BIG. it makes it extremely hard to use one-handed and having a swipe gesture function as a back button (like in Palm Pre for example) would greatly increase the ease of use.
as far as I'm concerned the app could just be one simple class that contains:
1) a listener for the 'back' swipe
2) a call to the physical hard button itself
Is this possible? are there built in APIs for the hard coded buttons that would allow me to call them without actually pressing them?
Again - I'm not interested in overriding the button, I'm interested in making a software call to it - or failing that, in emulating it's behavior in any and all states and other apps!
Please forgive the naivete of this post. I am a very novice programmer and really I just want to know whether this is possible before I start to devote myself to trying to build it.

I'm developing an app that needs to know when the users wants to open some files, previusly configured in my app, and act before the file is served.
I assume I'll need to know when the user wants to open any file (and compare the file's name with my list) and the device must probably be rooted, but I can't find a way to know that a file is required for the user or for some application the user is using and requests the file.
I've thought about Broadcast receivers, but this option needs that 'open' generates a broadcast message, what I didn't find that is done.
Also I thought about the linux mods, that can be used to manage system calls, but I didn't find any way to include it (the linux instruction modprobe doesn't work on Android and I didn't found an equivalent one).
I want to show some notification when android phone is connected to system. I implemented BroadcastReceiver for listening to event android.intent.action.ACTION_UMS_CONNECTED in my application But it is not working. Is it possible to capture this event.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI thought that Action was preeminent during intent resolution and if the intent had the same action as the intent filter, it would be considered a match regardless of data, if the filter did not specify anything. So I was very surprised to find that supplying action+data where filter had only action, causes it to fail. In the code below, if you comment out line 47 so that data is *not* sent, only then it resolves correctly. To get it to work with the data (an id that is simply a String), what mime type should I specify in the intent filter?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have an Options menu up and running in my Android application and I've overridden the onCreateOptionsMenu, onOptionsItemSelected and onPrepareOptionsMenu methods to customize the menu a little. My question is related to keeping the Options menu open after the user clicks on a menu item. Basically, I'd like to be able to hide the menu until the user clicks on the device menu key. Once the user clicks on this key, I'd like to be able to hold the menu in place regardless of how many times the user clicks on menu items. If the user wants to hide the Options menu, they'd just need to click on the device menu key again. Is this type of interaction supported (or even advisable).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListActivity that uses a CursorAdapter to fill the rows in the view. I wrote a database helper class that gives me back results for common queries I make for my app, and it uses an SQLiteOpenHelper implementation I wrote to open the database. I use the open helper to open the database and get a cursor to pass to my CursorAdapter.
Here's a code snippet:
CODE:...................
The problem I'm having, that I didn't have before I implemented the open helper (before I just opened the database directly without a helper), is when I click on an item, which takes me to another activity, and then go back to this activity. When it initializes everything is fine, and my list is populated fine, but when I go back from the activity that follows, the list is empty and in the LogCat I see "Invalid statement in fillWindow()".
It appears from a few post I've seen that the reason is, when I requery the cursor, the database is closed. But I'm not closing it! I'm scratching my head on this one.
I open task manager i find no apps running i leave it for 1 min for example and i reopen it, i find some apps running without i run them such as MAIL, Touch input, com.htc why do they open

I have an app that crops faces - something the app can do in a nanosecond, but I want the user to think it takes a bit longer. So in a case on a button click.
Here is what I have:
CODE:........
The dialog shows fine, and the faces crop fine too. The problem is - when the user runs the app, the 2 happen simultaneously on the screen.
Is there a way to make it so the dialog appears, 3 seconds elapse on screen and then the cropFaces is run? That way it will look like it cropped the faces in a few seconds, and then the new page appears.
