Now whenever I press the home button, it brings up CM10's home screen.
How do I bind ADW to the home button?
I've recently been getting user complaints that when they leave my app by pressing the 'Home' key, my app continues to play sounds like it is supposed to, but when they go back to the app, a new one opens, but the old one is still running in the background. I have noticed this sometimes myself too, but only recently (my app has been on the market for a while now). I've done some testing myself and noticed that when a new instance of the app is opened after pressing 'Home' then starting the app again, pressing the 'back' key will go back to the original instance of the app that was opened. This means that the original instance of the app was not killed, but a new one was just opened over it. Has anyone else experience something like this?

I after a long conversation of "If you break my sh-- I will have to kick someone's butt." I gave it to her and she plugged it in. Long story short, somehow it was knocked off the table and into a puddle of what I will, for lack of a better word, call fluid. I assume it was beer but still am unsure. Now, I've dried it out using the "Rice Trick" and leaving it on top of the heater vent, put the battery back in turned it back on and the screen was totally un-responsive. I tried a battery pull to see if that would fix it, but to no avail, it was still un-responsive. I then tried the factory reset (Home+Back+Tap Power>Clear>Reset). Now when the phone boots up and everything loads, Navigator will load and start up all on it's own and when I press the Home button Navigator starts up again. Tried the factory Reset again and the same problem. I was going to just re load the 2.27.651.5 from sprint (I never deleted it from my PC when it first dropped) but when I connected my Hero to my PC it wouldn't detect the Hero, It would charge, but not Mount/Sync/Share.

I would like to know if anybody knows how I can start my application with an incoming SMS message.
For example, I send an SMS message from phone A to Phone B. When Phone B receives the message, it checks if it is sent to my program. If it is, it starts(run) my application. Important thing here is that my program is not running in the device unless SMS is received, so it can not be listening for SMS itself.

As an exercise I attempted to add an AppWidgetProvider-derived class to one of our existing Android applications. When the widget is created and appears on the home screen, the output from adb logcat notes: W/ActivityManager(58): Unable to launch app com.mycompany.myapp/ 10042 for broadcast Intent { action=android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_ENABLED comp= {com.mycompany.myapp/com.mycompany.myapp.MyAppWidgetProvider} }: process is bad
This output comes from around line 10814 in ActivityManagerService (looking at cupcake on git). This is running on an ADP 1.5, FWIW. The same AppWidget code, once separated from the main application's project and put into its own simple project, runs as expected, so I know my manifest entries/XML/Java are all as they should be. Has anyone else run into this, or perhaps can the Android team comment on what aspect of my application might be preventing the AM from starting up the process when the widget is added to the home screen?

We copied the application in /system/bin and modified the init.rc script to add the entry of the application in "on boot". But, still, the application does not launch at the start-up.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am searching for a macro for Android. For example, some application will start at certain time, then click (or touch) the menu itself as I've previously saved in the macro. Similar app for Windows Mobile is "Vito Buttonmapper" I think. Does the application "Tasker" do the same thing that I described? Or is there any other application?

Does anyone know of a good way of doing this? can start the application using adb, with no problems. I can also start the application using Runtime.exec(), but that doesn't work so well for me; I need the application to run outside of a Java Runtime Process. Any ideas?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm using Eclipse on Windows to develop Android application. So when I'm trying to run the app, the system outputs to console
CODE:............
starts the emulator, but doesn't upload the .apk and doesn't start the activity. So, app is not started anyway.
I found a "solution" here, but it's unclear and seems to not work. For example, I don't know, which "emulator processed" are meant to be killed. I found adb.exe only. And that's the main point: sometimes I'm lucky enough to kill all that they wanted and start the app. But it's undetermined.
I'm working on a Application and I would like to start or call an external application from it by pressing for example a button...on my application.
The application I would like to call is an open source application.
I've read on the official android website it is possible to do it but haven't found any suggestion on how to do it.
MY APPROACH:
So trying on my own I've used an Intent Action and a button...like this
CODE:...............
RESULT:
When the button is pressed, A window appears which invites me to complete the Action I guess by choosing one of the Listed programs such as:
-Gstr
-Import Ics
-Market
-Music
-Mail (com.htc.android.mail) and so on...but not the API I was looking for...
When I choose Gstr(I guess is the application manager) then opens another window
Which shows a list of Installed Applications. From there I find the Application I was
Looking for and starts it (by long pressing on it's Icon...)
ISSUE:
I would like to start the external Application directly by clicking on a button on my application without passing through hundreds of others... Is there a way to achieve?
I know how to update my own programs, and I know how to open programs using the a predefined Uri (for sms or email for example)
I need to know how I can create an Intent to open MyTracks or any other application that I don't know what intents they listen to.
I got this info from DDMS, but I havn't been succesful in turning this to an Intent I can use. This is taken from when opening MyTracks manually.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with Eclipse and writing an Android application. I've noticed that the load times to the Android emulator can vary significantly. Recently, I found that manually going back to the main menu of the emulator helps my application load much faster.Is there a quicker way (read: automatic way) to exit out of my application rather than hitting the Back button multiple times until I get to the main app menu? Secondly, is there something I am doing wrong that factors into the longer load time?
