Android :: React To Screen_on Only When User Pressed Button
May 17, 2009I have a BroadcastReceiver that receives SCREEN_ON. If the screen came on because the user pressed a button, I want to do something. However, if the screen was turned on by an app (e.g., alarm clock going off or SMS popup), then I don't want to do anything. Anyone know how I can differentiate between the two cases?

Mar 17, 2010I have an activity that contains several user editable items (an EditText field, RatingBar, etc). I'd like to prompt the user if the back/home button is pressed and changes have been made that have not yet been saved. After reading through the android documentation, it seems like this piece of code should go in the onPause method. I've tried putting an AlertDialog in the onPause however the dialog gets shown and then immediately tears down because nothing is there to block the pause from completing.

Android :: Stop Following Activity If Home Key Or Pressed Back Pressed
Jul 8, 2010I 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();..........................
Android :: Detect / Intercept Screen Turning Off
Nov 27, 2009Is 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.

Feb 19, 2010I understand that trying to capture home button clicks is a hack, but I need to atleast close my current activity when the user clicks on home button. Is there anyway I can tell the system to close this activity is the user clicks on home button? If so how can I do that? I need to do it as I am listening for location updates and I want to stop the updates and also need to trash any location that was available to me previously. I need to do this just in case any user while in that activity clicks on home button and changes the location settings.

Android :: Intercept Back Button From Soft Keyboard
Oct 15, 2010I 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.
Android :: Any Way To Intercept Power Button Presses When Running Service?
Feb 11, 2010I 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.
Android :: Headset Button Is Being Pressed?
Jan 30, 2009Does anyone know how to tell when the headset button is being pressed? I'd like to support the usb headsets and possibly bluetooth headsets. My app is a media player and ideally, I could register it somewhere so that if no app that uses the headset button has focus it button press would act as a play/pause command in my app. If the phone is ringing or a call is in progress, I'd like to be sensitive to that and let the button do what it normally does: pickup and hang up calls. we've been trying to chase the button down using this: Intent Filter headset Filter = new Intent Filter (Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG); headset Filter.addAction ("android.intent.action.HEADSET_STATE_CHANGED"); headsetFilter.addAction("android.bluetooth.intent.HEADSET_STATE"); headset Filter.addAction ("android.bluetooth.intent.HEADSET_STATE_CHANGED"); headset Filter.addAction ("android.bluetooth.intent.action.MODE_CHANGED"); headsetFilter.addAction("android.intent.action.MODE_CHANGED");

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Communicate Which Button Pressed?
Sep 30, 2009i have an app widget that has a couple of buttons on it, and in my onUpdate() call, I am hooking up the buttons to do something when you press them
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName (), R.layout.appwidget); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button1, button1PendingIntent); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button2, button2PendingIntent);
The problem is that when I click on button2, it sends the button1 pending intent. i think that's because it's reusing the pending intent. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. "If the creating application later re-retrieves the same kind of PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action, data, categories, and components, and same flags), it will receive a PendingIntent representing the same token if that is still valid, and can thus call cancel() to remove it." So then the question is, how do I communicate which button was pressed?
