In an Android manifest, how can I use a negative match in the android:pathPattern? I'd like to use a pathPattern that matches on all URLs except for a specific hostname, if it's possible.

This is my code:
CODE:...........
The items in the ListView comes from an AsyncTask. When the AsyncTask is running I want it to stop adding non-matching items. For now, if it had loaded 5 items and I search with a specified String, then when the AsyncTask continues loading items it adds automatically Orders to the ListView, even if there isn't a match.
I have a few separate applications which are all launched purely through a main application.I am wondering if I'd be able to use intents to retrieve a list of all the sub-applications which match some discovery intent. The main application currently needs to know what Intents to use to START these sub-applications, but is there a way to use intents to see if other Activities on the device match a set of intent-filters?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following issue. I am starting a recognizer intent activity in order to detect speech using the "startActivityForResult" method. I have also an "onActivityResult" method listening for results from the recognizer activity. It works and it detects my speech. The problem is that it is only called when everything is ok or when i cancel the operation, but it is not called if it doesn't find a matching text "RecognizerIntent.RESULT_NO_MATCH" or in the rest of wrong cases "RecognizerIntent.RESULT_........" What is happening? Application is Android 2.1 and I have tested on a Android 2.2 device.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPerhaps I'm misunderstanding how Intents and intent-filters work, but it seems to me that this should be a strait-forward case. However it's not working. Here is the Intent I'm sending:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.connectsy.event");
startActivity(i);
And here is the intent-filter:
<activity android:name=".events.EventView">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.connectsy.event" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
And finally, the error I'm receiving:
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW typ=vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.connectsy.event }
I built an Android application that requires OAuth. All was working well using a custom scheme call back which is intercepted by Android. It seems that Yahoo have changed the goal posts and now the custom scheme is not accepted by Yahoo.I am now looking at possible alternate approaches. My first attempt is to use a normal http scheme and modify my intent filter to intercept the new URL. I have the following in my AndroidManifest.xml :
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:host="www.test.com" android:scheme="http"></data>
</intent-filter>
Where www.test.com will be substituted with a domain that I own. It seems :
* This filter is triggered when I click on a link on a page.
* It is not triggered on the redirect by Yahoo, the browser opens the website at www.test.com
* It is not triggered when I enter the domain name directly in the browser.
So can anybody help me with
* When exactly this intent-filter will be triggered?
* Any changes to the intent-filter or permissions that will widen the filter to apply to redirect requests?
* Any other approaches I could use?
are there any docs covering the filtering of the protocol specifier? Something like the market application does with "market://", i'd like to make with my application.

Below is my manifest file, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? With the below file, if I open the browser and try to navigate to http://org.test.launchtest it just says the page doesn't exist.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have looked at the intent-filter documentation and I can't figure out this specific intent-filter. I'm looking to use ACTION_SEND because I only want the app to show up in "Share" menus in other apps. I only want to show up in the share menu if the text of the intent is a url. For example, what is shared from the Android Browser's share menu. I don't want the app to appear in the share menu if it's just text and not a url.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen creating an intent with action send to send some data, is there a way to filter the results that are included in the activity chooser that is created using Intent.createChooser? I have not seen a way to do this other than setting the mime type, but it is not flexible enough.
For example, there is a situation when I want e-mail apps to be the only results in the activity chooser dialog. Setting the type to "text/ html" successfully filters this down to email apps, except when bluetooth is enabled. Bluetooth appears in the list as well, but this is not desirable. Surely there is a way to have a little more control over the results?
I am new to android platform.please help me out how the Broadcast Receiver and Intent Filter behaves in android.please explain in simple line or with example.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI realise one has to use an intent filter to associate a file format with an application, but once this is done how does the app 'receive' the path to the file that was chosen? Is there a special method it calls on the Activity?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to catch an action like ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG. But I think it might be too much to set this action on the manifest file.
How could I register a listener for this action? I only need to care about it when my application is running not all the time as I think it would happen when registering it under the manifest file...
I'm registering an intent-filter on an activity to listen for url clicks from a certain domain:
CODE:.............
This works, but is there a way to filter out certain urls from my domain? For example, my app can only do something useful for the user if it gets a url like: www.mywebsite.com/orange
But if the user clicks on a link like: www.mywebsite.com/blue
I can't do anything useful for them, so I'd like to just let them continue using the browser to open that url. Is there a way I get a chance to see the URL before android pops up the chooser dialog and presents my app as a possible handler for the url? Is there some method in Activity which allows me to filter?
I'm using an intent-filter on URLs for my activity:
CODE:...............
the launchMode attribute is set to "singleTop", but it looks like a new activity is created every time I click a matching url. I thought that if the activity is already alive somewhere, it would simply be brought to the front of my activity stack?
I tried this on the emulator/device, same behavior, a new activity instance is always created.
Trying to grok intents and actions in android and looking through the documentation. But one thing I keep seeing is an intent filter with multiple actions defined.
Like this, from the above link:
CODE:...........
But, if you call that activity, how does it choose which action is chosen?
For that matter, that linked to example has multiple activities that all contain the same actions, "android.intent.action.VIEW" for example. When calling this with something like content://com.google.provider.NotePad/notes how does it even know which activity to use?

I'm trying to get a BroadcastReceiver invoked when the screen is turned on. In my AndroidManifest.xml I have specified:
<receiver android:name="IntentReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON">
</action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
However it seems the receiver is never invoked (breakpoints don't fire, log statements ignored). I've swapped out SCREEN_ON for BOOT_COMPLETED for a test, and this does get invoked. This is in a 1.6 (SDK level 4) project. A Google Code Search revealed this, I downloaded the project and synced it, converted it to work with latest tools, but it too is not able to intercept that event.
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#_8L9bayv7qE/trunk/phxandroid-intent-query/AndroidManifest.xml&q=android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON
Is this perhaps no longer supported? Previously I have been able to intercept this event successfully with a call to Context.registerReceiver() like so:
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// ... }
}, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON));
However this was performed by a long-living Service. Following sage advice from CommonsWare I have elected to try to remove the long-living Service and use different techniques. But I still need to detect the screen off and on events.
I want to set up a BroadcastReceiver to handle PACKAGE_REPLACED, but I only want to be notified when my package is replaced. It works fine if I specify a data tag with scheme="package" but then I get notified when any application is reinstalled or upgraded. I can't figure out how I'm supposed to specify the package name which is in the scheme specific part -- that is, when my BroadcastReceiver gets the intent in onRecieve(), if I do intent.getData().getSchemeSpecificPart(), that's the package name, but is there any way I can filter for only that in my intent-filter?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis question has been asked [numerous times] before, but I have not seen any definitive answers, or examples of code that actually works. I would like to associate an Activity with a particular file type. For discussion, assume that I want my Activity to be associated with PDFs. Here is what I currently have. I have experimented with many different values and combinations of values in the intent-filter, but I have yet to get my Activity to start when a PDF is selected.

I'm adding an intent filter to my android application and I want it to catch requests that go http://www.somedomain.com/[numericValue].I only want to catch it if the path is numeric, but if it has text, I don't care about it.I tried the pathPattern of [0123456789]*, but that didn't work. Is this possible to do?

My app in question has an intent filter in place to launch my application when opening an email attatchment from the "Email" app. My problem is if I launch my application first through the the android applications screen and then launch my application via opening the Email attachment it creates two instances of my root activity. steps: Launch root activity A, press home Open email attachment, intent filter triggers launches root activity A Is it possible when opening the Email attachment that when the OS tries to launch my application it detects there is already an instance of it running and use that or remove/clear that instance?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible that a resource id (such as a generated id for a string resource) can be a negative int?Often, when defining a method that accepts a resource id, I want the caller to be able to specify a "null" value.For primitives this is not possible, but I'm wondering whether "any negative value" may be a good approach? Alternatively I suppose it would be OK to specify the argument as an Integer and take advantage of auto-boxing.Thoughts?
