Android :: Application Not Re-launching
Mar 29, 2010I have written an application which calls native methods through JNI. In the native library 4 threads are started. On USB removal, the application is to be closed including the native threads. Upon receiving the USB removal event, we are trying to kill the threads (pthread_kill() ) and then finish (using finish()) the activity. After reconnecting the USB, the application is not launching due to memory corruption. In DDMS, it shows the threads are still attached to bionic. As the threads are not closed, I feel the resources were not released properly. If I reconnect again then application launches and works fine and the same repeats on every launch.
To solve this problem Can I use System.gc() ? Can I use pthread_exit() 1st and then pthread_join instead of pthread_kill ? Whats the procedure in Android to kill the native threads and also the application ? After the application is closed, will it not be listed in DDMS ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How The Use Same Instances When Launching Application Twice
Apr 14, 2009My app has 4 activities on the stack A->B->C->D (top)
If you press home and re-enter the application, another instance of A is started, so the stack is A->B->C->D->A (top). I know this because when I press BACK, A is popped off and I now see D (instead of going to the Home screen).
What I want is that when the user re-enters the app, they re-enter on the same activity they were in before (D).

Android :: How To Use Same Instances When Launching Application Twice
Mar 17, 2009Is it possible to re-use all the instances of Activities and Services when an application is launched twice. For instance: 1/ I start my application APP1. Some activities are launched and a service is started. 2/ I click "Home" device button 3/ I can see the icon the launch again my application APP1 4/ I click on it and the APP1 is launched twice
I would like to re-use the existing the instances of Activities and Services from the first launch. I guess it is related to "SingleTop" or "SingleTask" but it doesn't seem to work.

Android :: Launching External Application From App
Dec 29, 2009I would like to launch an app the user selects from within my application. However, I'm not sure how I'd go about doing this. I've tried this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Contacts.Intents.SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT);
startActivity(intent);
But this seems to throw an error and force close my application. I also tried adding:
<action android:name="Contacts.Intents.SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT"/>
in the AndroidManifest file, but to no avail.
A look at Logcat shows that it's an "IOexception - no such file or directory". A couple of questions arise from this. I read through the Android docs and noticed that the Contact.Intents class is deprecated. However, it's successor, ContactContracts is aimed at API level 5 whereas I'm targeting API level 3. Could this be the problem? Also, I've hardcoded this application into the code. Is there a way to retrieve the intents of any application the user selects so that they can be launched?
Android :: Launching Another Activity From Application
May 22, 2010I am trying to launch another application from my Activity. Something weird happens when I am running this code :
Intent myIntent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null );
myIntent.addCategory( Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER );
myIntent.setFlags( Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED );
ComponentName compName=new ComponentName(myArray[i][0], myArray[i] [1] );
// String[][] myArray myIntent.setComponent( compName ); startActivity( myIntent );
I have this error :
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class { com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings};
Have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
But when I replace this line
// myArray[i][0] = "com.android.settings" // myArray[i][1] = "com.android.settings.Settings" ComponentName compName=new ComponentName(myArray[i][0], myArray[i] [1] );
with ComponentName compName=new ComponentName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.Settings");
And without any modification in my manifest, it works!

May 6, 2009Example: I have a button which starts an activity with GET_CONTENT audio/* I have a menu with choices: Music Track or Sound Recorder and a checkbox. I check the box, it tells me that I can clear the setting in Application -> Manage Applications. I launch the Music Track with the box checked. I go to the application settings, but the "clear defaults" button is always enabled. It was already the case with 1.1 SDK, 1.5 does not help (tested on emulator 1.5 AND ADP1 with 1.5 recovery image). I also tested the allowClearUserData flag but it seems we cannot clear anything but the cache (for the webview ?)

Android :: Insufficient Memory Error When Launching Application For Second Time After Calling Finish - In Main Activity

Android :: Android Launching An Application Chooser With Appropriate List Of Applications
Aug 16, 2010Although I have seen several threads and tutorials on this topic, I guess I still have some confusion on how an application can be chosen from a list of applications to display a file.
I have a Activity which has a list view in it. This list view is bound with file paths (so a file browser of sorts). When we click on a specific file type, I need a list of applications that can open that file.
So far this is what I have in the OnItemClick for the list item:
CODE:............
When I run this on my phone, the error is:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android.intent.category.DEFAULT] dat=file:///
When I do the same in a file browser application (downloaded from the marketplace), I get two options (QuickOffice and Word to Go), both of which I have installed on my phone.
Could someone guide me as to what else is needed here? Things I have tried besides the above:
Add the following entries to the manifest:
