Android :: Intent Object Not Triggering Filter
Jun 25, 2010Perhaps 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 }
Android :: Intent Filter For Http Scheme
Sep 14, 2010I 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?

Aug 14, 2010I'm trying to figure out how to launch an activity in my app from a custom URI such as myapp://myuriactivity I've read a lot about the intent and intent filters in the android references and also read several examples, but for some reason I can't get my simple test to work.

Nov 5, 2010I have looked at the intent-filter documentation and I can't figure out this specific intent-filter.

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 RelatedAndroid :: Creating Intent With Action / Any Way To Filter Results
Jul 20, 2010When 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?

Android :: Filtering Urls Within An Activity's Intent-filter?
Feb 6, 2010I'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?
Android :: New Activity Instance Created For Every Intent-filter?
Feb 6, 2010I'm using an intent-filter on URLs for my activity:

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.
Android :: Default When Using Multiple Actions In Intent-Filter
Jul 6, 2010Trying 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: 1.6 SDK Level 4 Project / Receiver Intent Filter Never Invoked
Apr 4, 2010I'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.
Android :: Specify Scheme Specific Part In Data Tag For An Intent-filter?
Feb 3, 2010I 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 20 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Protocol Buffers (protobuf)
Jul 21, 2009When using Protocol Buffers with Android (running in the Windows VM) I'm noticing that the first time I instantiate a protocol buffer based class Android lags for some time. When I step through it looks like it's spending a lot of time dynamically loading the protocol buffer classes. Is there something I can do to speed up this process? I haven't tested yet on a physical device, so the delay might not be as bad but in the VM it takes about 30 - 45 seconds to load all the classes and get past that first message instantiation. What I did was downloaded the Protocol Buffers source code. Compiled the.java files. Stuffed them into a .jar. Added the .jar as an external library to my Eclipse project. Generated the .java classes from the .proto files. Added the generated .java files to my project. Ran my project. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong it terms of how to reference external libraries with an Android project, but 30-45 seconds seems like a very long time to wait on a 2.6GHz machine. Also, I recently learned that android uses Protocol Buffers internally. Will this cause any sort of conflicts with my included .jar that could be the problem? I *think* the namespace is different but I'm not entirely sure. Lastly. Why did Google use Protocol Buffers internally and not make it available to SDK developers. This makes me very sad knowing that it's all right there and I can't use it.
