Is there anyway to intercept that a hard key was pressed by using a service in order to launch an activity?
In other words : Is it possible to handle the KeyEvents in the Service?

By clicking on an item in the ListView (an address) I start an Intent to Google Maps for directions and the choice dialog pops up for google maps, web browser etc. Problem is if I press the hard back button then the launch dialog goes away but also the ListView is cleared. Any idea why?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating an Android service which constantly runs in the background. I'd like to be able to intercept calls to the power button to:
a) prevent the screen coming on
b) handle the power button press in a different manner.This is to enable the user to have a very simple interface to my application and prevent wasting battery powering up the screen when it is not required.
I will probably need an alternative mechanism to actually bring the screen back up (such as an extended key press or similar), but this only becomes relevant if what I'm after is possible.
How do you guys like the physical buttons vs. the soft buttons (glass) on other phones? I've got an Incredible that I really like, but I'm having two issues that I'm not liking. Call quality and battery life. I looked at the Droid X and really didn't like the physical buttons. How many of you were disappointed by the physical buttons but have found them to be OK after using them?
View 35 Replies View RelatedI am developing an Android app which needs to poll a specific webpage in time intervals. I've got it to the point where it does indeed poll the page on a specific interval, and that interval is specified in a SharedPreference which can be changed by the user in the settings page of the app. But complications arise when network connectivity is flaky.For example, how do I ensure that the Service "wakes up" the network adapter and gives it ample time to connect before polling the page, in the case that the phone was sleeping to save power? This polling action can happen as little as once every 24 hours, so I don't want to miss one action just because the network was out (but turned on a few seconds, minutes, or even hours later).
Or there are times when the web service doesn't respond, or DNS doesn't respond, or what have you, and for any reason it doesn't get a response even though the phone is technically connected. What sort of rule do I put in place to make this retry later, so that I'm not retrying repeatedly when the user specifically turned off their internet but I'm retrying soon enough that if it was just a hiccup, the data can be received soon after the first try?Are there any examples for this type of situation? What is the logic to best handle this?
I have a problem and that is my SplashScreen I have. It is built as an intro and after 3 seconds it shows the main menu of the program. Anyway, if I press down Back or Home button during the time the SplashScreen shows, it closes, but the activity I have chosen to follow after the SplashScreen will still run after the three seconds.
My code: **UPDATED CODE**
Handler ur = new Handler();
myRun = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
mainIntent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this,MyApp.class);
SplashScreen.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
SplashScreen.this.finish();..........................
as there's a GLSurfaceView in use, no other views receive any KeyEvents. MotionEvents however, are still working as expected. Is there a way to prevent GLSurfaceView from swallowing all KeyEvents?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an activity which would be on top of other activities (a small dialog themed activity) and I want to get ALL key events to be ignored by my activity and handled normally by the activity beneath it. When I say all I mean the send, end and back keys too. Is this possible?I've tried setFocusable(false), setting the flag FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, and adding a dummy onKeyListener but nothing doesn't seem to do the trick.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI decided to start pipelining input to increase responsiveness in my games. Basically what I do is when the activity receives a Key or Motion event, it sends it to a feed method in the game, which encapsulates it with a time and whatever else I need and puts it in a queue then immediately returns so the UI loop is never held up waiting for long. The main loop later processes the queue, applying the events in it at the appropriate times.
This works great and makes the games snappy, although now I'm starting to miss touch events intermittently. I realized that the events could be recycled objects and that could make them not safe to queue. Is this the case or is it safe to queue them for deferred processing like I'm doing?
Requirement: 1. The program must be on top of SDK only, no hacking! 2. When a TEXT SMS is arriving to Android mobile, the program must intercept the TEXT SMS to analyze the SMS content (access the whole SMS data) 3. In terms of the SMS content, the program determines if the SMS is erased as it doesn't exist. No notification, no update to Inbox UI. 4. Power cycle the Android phone, the SMS is not seen at Notification or message Inbox
Can any one help with the solution? Or which API shall we look into?
I am wondering if it is possible to intercept an open application call, for any (most of the) installed application. Or at least for opening the Activity having the intent-filter's action set to Main (if it exists for an app).

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way where I can detect that the screen is about to turn off, so I can do some work *before* it happens?I need this to work around bug 3755: OpenGL apps sometimes crash when the screen gets turned off because they don't get surfaceDestroyed /surfaceCreated() events. Simply put, I need to shut down OpenGL before the phone has a chance to detach the GPU. The only events I seems to be getting when the screen turns off are onPause() and onWindowFocusChanged both of which turn up *after* the GPU detaches, by which time it's too late.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI plan to develop Android application which will encrypt/decrypt voice data such that parties can communicate using secure channel. So the question is: how to intercept voice/audio data during GSM call? Is it possible or not? Should I use Android NDK or something else?
View 3 Replies View RelatedLet's suppose that we have the following scenario: something is playing on an android device (an mp3 par example, but it could be anything that use the audio part of an android device). From an application (android application :) ), I would like to intercept the audio stream to analyze it, to record it, etc. From this application (let's say "the analyzer") I don't want to start an mp3 or something, all I want is to have access to the audio stream of android. Any advice is appreciated, it could a Java or C++ solution.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want a HTML/javascript application, running in a WebView, to make AJAX calls that are handled by the Java code. Ideal would be to just intercept the call (easy, just use shouldOverrideUrlLoading()) and 'return' some data. However, I don't find a way to 'return' a response to the WebView, other than calling a javascript function using loadUrl(). This will not work for me, as the HTML/js app is a drop-in application which I don't control. As far as the HTML/js app concerns, it just does an AJAX call and receives some data back.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to intercept the OnTouch event in a PopupWindow, but it failes everytime. Here is the code snip:
CODE:.....................
When the activity started, I can click the button to show the popup window correctly. But after that, nothing happens when I touch the popup window's view. But if I touch any where outside the popup window, the log Log.d("Demo", "layout::onTouch >>> view: " + v + ", event: " + event); will work.
It looks like when I touch the view of the popup window, the touch event has been consumed somewhere?

View 27 Replies View RelatedI am displaying web content in a WebView but I am having issues to identify when the user presses a cancel button which should close the current window. The cancel button is defined as follows in the page source code: <input value="Cancel" name="cancel" type="button" onclick="window.close();There are other buttons which I am able to handle using shouldOverrideUrlLoading() but since this cancel buttons does not attempt to open a new page, this is not working. Does anyone know if there is a way to intercept this cancel? By the way, when cancel button is pressed nothing happens.

What I need is to have some communication between android phones, one to one, and I thought that sending SMS messages would solve the problem, but the SMS notification are not needed for that, maybe the WAP PUSH messages would better for that but I have no idea how to send them from android phone.
I'd like to be able prompt my app to open link (instead of the browser) when the user clicks on a URL of a given pattern. This could be when the user is on a web page in the browser, or in an email client, or a WebView in a freshly minted app.
For example, click on a YouTube link from anywhere in the phone and you'll be given the chance to open the YouTube app.
How do I achieve this for my own app.
I have the activity with several input fields. When activity started soft keyboard is showed. When back button pressed soft keyboard closes and to close activity need to press back button one more time.
So the question: is it possible intercept back button to close soft keyboard and finish activity in one press of back button without creating custom InputMethodService?
I know how intercept back button in other cases - onKeyDown() or onBackPressed() but in this case it's not works: only second press of back button is intercepted.
I have a WebViewClient attached to my WebView like so..
