I'm trying to override the onBackPressed() method of the ActivityGroup class:
public class MyClass extends ActivityGroup {
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// do something
return;
}
but I'm getting the error The method onBackPressed() of type MyClass must override a superclass method. I'm relatively new to Java, I've seen here that people do it and it works for them Why I'm getting this error? I'm writing an app for android 1.5, could the problem be here?
In Eclipse, when I mouse hover over a built-in method, it displays a method definition including stuff like what the method does, input objects, return objects etc. If I have a yellow line (warning) under the method I'm trying to use, I can't get the mouse-over to show the definition. If I try hitting F3, I get a "The Jar of this class file belongs to container "Android 1.6" How do I show the definition of the method I am using when there is a warning?

Each button on the top has a list view corresponding to the above field. I m trying to see how it is possible to show the default selection as the user enters this particular screen. I m trying to keep one of the button on the top to have a different color so the user can know which of the tab views they have presently selected.

I recently posted this question on stackoverflow (http://tinyurl.com/ yzrofne), but maybe someone here can help me. I am using the location manager's requestLocationUpdates() method to receive an intent to my broadcast receiver periodically. The system is correctly firing the intent to my broadcast receiver, and I have been able to use it correctly. The only problem is that the GPS location provider only stays active for a few seconds after the initial location acquisition, and I need it to stay on a little longer so that the location estimates are more accurate. For example, if I tell the location manager that I want an update every 5 minutes, it correctly fires the intent with location information from the GPS. However, the GPS only stays active for about 5 seconds, so it doesn't give much time for the location to reach a high accuracy (say, less than 10-20 meters). My question is how to make the GPS location provider stay active for each periodic request that comes from the LocationManager requestLocationUpdates. Does anyone know how to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a map activity for which I would like to have the screen turned on as long it's active (the app consists of one activity only). When the activity is paused or stopped I want to return to normal on/off mode. Keeping the screen on works fine while the app is running but when I exit the app the screen stays on as well. What am I missing?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just placed a sight-unseen order for a Droid Incredible from Verizon...I'm guess that when browsing the web, you can use the built in virtual keyboard to type in user names, passwords, and suchlike when you are on a website that asks for such...?
When doing so, how much of the webpage do you see? A screen photo showing a webpage with blanks to be filled in and showing the keyboard would be useful.
I'm new to Android development, and I was wondering if there is a way to have an app take a screenshot of the currently active screen, do some processing on the screenshot (which would be internal to the app and temporary; I don't want it in the photo gallery), then communicate with a remote server over the Internet?
I am of course looking for more than a yes or no answer. An example of an api call or library I could use to do this would be a perfect answer.
The purpose would be to have a program screen scrape another program to recognize some text and use it for updating an online service.
I am playing one audio file when call arrives so the caller can receive it at other side but the issue is yet the opposite caller is not able to listen it what could be wrong in it. Can some one tell me what can be the issue in it ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I load my application I also load and Android Service that helps me download files from the internet.The user may have 1 or more downloads at any given time, all in their own Thread which is managed by the service. If the user presses the home button I do not destroy the service but instead let it run, however, if the user presses the back button I do stop() the service as I felt this was the right thing to do (the user would not want stray services running).
This works OK unless there are stray Threads that have not completed yet (this could happen if the internet connection is not active etc.).How could I manage this? How could I stop all Threads as I have no reference to them...or somehow command android to stop my service once all Threads are complete and my app has closed?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two activities running: MainActivity and ChildActivity. Whenever the user clicks in the button in MainActivity, the ChildActivity is launched. What I want to do is this:When the active activity is the ChildActivity and the user clicks the home button then relaunch the application (like opening from the beginning), I want to see the ChildActivity instead of MainActivity that is launched. However; This is happening only when the user clicks from recent activities window. (the window opened when you long press the home button).I had some suggestions actually work arounds and I tried to manipulate onStart, onRestart, onResume, onStop, onDestroy events. But, they didn't fully solve the problem. There should be a smart way out there.
