I need to start a animation automatically for a activity without any user clicking. I know when activity is not ready, animation could not start. I used a thread to start it, however it is still not working.

I have a strange issue - from time to time the animation that should fade out my control (ImageButton) does not kick in immediately. I am using the fadeout animation to hide it and then in myListener on its end (onAnimationEnd) I put new resource as the image on the button.
Somewhere in my app code:
Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,R.anim.fadeout); a.setAnimationListener(new myListener(location)); buttons[location].setAnimation(a); a.startNow(); // regardless if its start() or startnNow() it will work in most of the cases but not 100% reliable I actually can see in debug Log when its late, happens after few more clicks
Then in myListener.onAnimationEnd(Animation a):buttons[location].setImageResource(R.drawable.standard_button);
Seems there is a rule that the every 4th or 5th animation does not start ...
Is it possible to disactive the animation between activities provided to user with cupcake 1.5? User can set a preference with 1.5 to set animation on activity launch. I would like disactive these animations inside my app containing different activities.

I am developing an application in which the user require to register first and than got the user page. For that i have made layout and the layout consist many fields, so, i have made part of layout and also made the separate activity for the each layout. The layout like address, phone, etc... After that i have wrote the code for calling an activity and it works fine. It means when i press the "Next" button the another page will come and it will also consist some textview ,edittext and previous and next button. Actually, i want something different like -- When the user fill the first form and he will proceed to next, the content written by the user should not gone when the user press "Next" button. The content should be there which was written by user. And same way i have have 6 pages like that way to complete the registration process. So, have you any idea to solve above problem? I really need your help because right now i stuck at this point. So, please any body help me out of this problem. I would appreciate your help. I am waiting for your reply.

By default, on newer OS versions of android, the OS will animate the new activity sliding in from right to left.Is there a way to disable this animation? I just want the new activity to appear without any sort of animation.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy initial activity is basically a splash screen while preforming initialization and login in to network server. To save memory I want to finish() the splash activity once it starts the main menu activity. I still want the remote service to operate. Testing shows it does. But am I going to get into trouble doing this? I know I can restart the remote from the main menu activity but I am trying to save overhead by not starting it twice. The remote service is required by the splash activity.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a service that listens to a socket. When receiving certain input it is to create an activity. When receiving other input, it is to kill this activity. I have struggled for a while to make the service communicate with the activity through AIDL (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/aidl.html), but this seems to not be effective. I think AIDL is only effective when the process that is to be talked to is a service, not when it is an activity? I would love some directions or suggestions on how to solve my problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would need to know when one activity starts or get's focus. I need this notification for any activity regardless of his type, name or whatever - not searching for one specific activity. Checked the ActivityMonitor and the Intent and I haven't found a generic intent for this purpose. Or I hadn't understood well the descriptions from the Intent ACTION_xxxxx.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThere are an EditText and a TextView in my Activity. I want to set focus on the TextView when the Activity starts. I used the following code:
TextView myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.my_text_vew);
myTextView.setFocusable(true);
myTextView.setOnClickListener(this);
myTextView.requestFocus();
But the code doesn't work. The EditText always receives focus when the activity starts.
I am getting a crash intermittently when my Activity starts up either initially or when the screen gets rotated I get several log messages which I have been unable to get any insight from: timeout expired mFreezeDisplay=1 mFreezeCount=0 App freeze timeout expired Force clearing freeze then lots of: Lock_layer timed out (is the CPU pegged?) Key dispatching timed out then I get ANR annotation: keyDispatchingTimedOut the trace has alot of sending signal 3 to alot of PIDs
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an activity which loads a TableLayout. This is made up of TextView and EditView fields. When I run my app within the emulator the layout appears correctly (WITHOUT the soft keyboard appearing). When I run the app from a device (HTC Evo) and enter the activity the soft keyboard ALWAYS appears. I tried doing an OnFocusChange() for the first field in the layout and then doing:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(tvIndications.getWindowToken(), 0);
It doesn't work. The soft keyboard always appears.
I have 2 activities, A and B. When A starts, it checks for a condition and if true, it calls startActivityForResult() to start B. B only takes text input so it makes sense for the soft keyboard to automatically pop up when B start. When the activity starts, the EditText already has focus and it ready for input. The problem is that the keyboard never shows up, even with windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" set in the manifest under the <activity> tag for B. I also tried with the value set to stateVisible. Since it doesn't show up automatically, I have to tap the EditText to make it show.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have added android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" to my Activity in AndroidManifest.xml and here's my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></EditText>
<EditText android:id="@+id/EditText02" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></EditText>
<Button android:id="@+id/Button01" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Send"></Button>
</LinearLayout>
When the Activity starts, the EditText is focused, but soft keyboard isn't displayed. If I click on the EditText, then I see the soft keyboard. Do I need to set aditional parameters to display soft keyboard when my Activity starts?
I open an Activity which has a number of elements... some TextViews, some Buttons, and an EditText. For some reason, when the activity starts, the EditText is focused by default, which causes the keypad to appear hiding the screen. I only want this EditText to be in focus if the user clicks into it. How can I ensure that this View isn't in focus when the activity starts? I've tried calling requestFocus() on one of the buttons, but it hasn't changed anything. Ideally, I don't want anything in focus at all.

I just created a simple application, that starts the Dial Activity and place a call. I did not provide any permission in the manifest file to start a call, but still the call activity starts. I also checked the AndroidManifest.xml file, there is no permission added, still the activity starts.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a widget that is supposed to start and stop a service (start it when it's not running, stop it when it is). This is working fine, however, each time the service is started, my app's main activity is also launched, which I don't want from the app's manifest, it works as I want it to (without launching the main-activity, just the service), but then I obviously don't have a main activity anymore.This is how I start the service (I would assume this is the normal way, and I can't see any reference to what might cause the MAIN intent to fire).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been in problem of the Activity life-cycle. All though i read lots of docs on it put on getting clear picture on it. I have Activity A. In that activity I have menu options. If we click any option it opens the respective activity like if i click on 2nd button it opens Activity B Now again Activity B has same options into it. When user clicks on 1st button then i need to go back to activity A. So using this. Intent intent = new Intent().setClass(context, Articles.class); startActivity(intent); So always it starts new instance of activity and fetch data from DB. I want something like Activity A can be resumed back as it was.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an activity that is showing a video and when the user clicks a button, a new activity is launched. When the video activity stops, I pause the video view. When the video activity starts up again, I try to resume the video view videoView.start(), however, the video starts over from the beginning. I'm thinking that the buffer must be lost somewhere, so I now try to capture the current position via videoView.getCurrentPosition(), however, this is always returning 0.
Anybody know how to resume video playback when an activity starts up again?
I have an application with contains multiple activities. The main activity will start the others ( use startActivity() ) depends on user event, when an activity close, it calls finish() and return back to main activity. It appears to behavior like that.
However, the "problem" I see is main activity's onCreate function is called every time. I think the the main activity should be placed in the activity stack and simply push to front when others exit, therefore only onResume, onStart are called. Is there some flag I need to set or I misunderstand the activity behaviro?
In child activity, besides calling finish() or startActivity for main activity, what is other way to move main activity to front?
I created an application which enables the user to set whether he wants to receive notification while the application runs in background mode. If the notifications are enabled an activity should be started (the dialog should appear on the screen).

This is the method from main activity. When onPause() is executed isRunningInBackground is set true.
When I tried to debug it when the main application was running in the background the line
startActivity(intent) had no effect (the activity didn't appear).
Does anyone know how to midify the logic in order to start an activity from the main activity when the main activity is running in the background (after onPause() is called)?
I have tried to write an Android application with an activity that should be launched from a different application. It is not a content provider, just an app with a gui that should not be listed among the installed applications. I have tried the code examples here and it seems to be quite easy to launch existing providers and so on, but I fail to figure out how to just write a "hidden" app and launch it from a different one.
The basic use case is:
App A is a normal apk launchable from the application list.
App B is a different apk with known package and activity names, but is is not visible or launchable from the application list.
App A launches app B using the package and class names (or perhaps a URI constructed from these?).
I fail in the third step. Is it possible to do this?

I have a huge maze of activities in my application. What I need to do, is that when the user logs in into the system, the activity history should be cleared. I cant just use finish() when I start a new activity, because I want the activities to have a history until the user logs in. I have experimentet with the different flags when starting an activity, but I have had no success.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application, which (for the sake of simplicity) has two types of activities - Overview and DetailView. The Overview activity shows a list of steps and allows the user to start a DetailView activity corresponding to the step chosen.
In the DetailView activity, the user can start another Overview, which shows different steps than the ones in the parent of the current DetailView.
In the Overview, DetailView is started by using startActivityForResult (). In the DetailView, when the user decides to start a second Overview, I call setResult () and finish () and then start the new Overview. In this scenario, onActivityResult () and finishFromChild () do not fire. Instead, they fire when the parent finishes (?).
