Let me start off my saying I searched this topic before I posted. I am constantly closing apps with them being restarted and I'm not opening them like Music, alarm clock, Amazon mp3 store, moxier mail, etc. The only one I actually use from time to time is music but they open on there own. Is there an app or setting to change this?

It seems like more and more mainstream retailers are making apps for the iPhone, whether it be Starbucks, Pizza Hut, UPS, etc. When do they start making these apps available to Android users. The Droid has sold almost 1,000,000 units in a little over a month. With several phones slated for 10' do you think that this will happen?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem with my application in that the soft-keyboard is not being closed unless the user pushes the "back" button.I use several layouts which I load using the setContentView method of the application. Some layouts contain multiple EditText fields. The soft-keyboard pops up correctly when the entry boxes are being clicked, but never gets dismissed, even after I switch to a new layout using setContentView (instigated by on-screen push buttons).I found a way of apparently removing the keyboard using the "InputManager" class but how exactly does that work if I don't know which entry field opened/currently owns the keyboard?Is there a way of possibly invalidating a whole layout which would perhaps cause all resources (and hopefully the keyboard) to be cleared? As said before, I currently just use setContentView to load the next screen.

This is sort of about task managers, and yet, not. I have an application I need to stay open (meebo) but Androids's task manager closes it sometimes. I have tried using task managers to keep enough memory free that Android won't kill Meebo, but it usually gets killed eventually anyway. Does anyone have an idea on how to keep it open? I am running 2.2.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing some JUnit tests for my Android Activity.They run fine and report proper results.However, when i automate the test and start the emulator, the emulator starts with an unlock screen. This prevents the test from running correctly.How do I start an emulator without the unlock screen so that it's ready to run a test immediately? Are there commands in the emulator.exe or adb.exe that can close/ remove the unlock screen?

Or is there some other way I could rearrange my program so that the staleDataException doesn't occur (as often)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I understand it correctly, bindService() with BIND_AUTO_CREATE will start a service and will not die until all bindings are all unbinded.
But if I bindService(BIND_AUTO_CREATE) at onCreate() and hit back button to close the activity, the service calls onDestroy() and dies also.
I don't call unbind() at anytime. So is that mean when the Activity got destroyed, the binding got destroyed also and the service gets destroyed also?
What if I want the service to be always running, at the same time when the activity starts I want to bind it so that I can access the service?
If I call StartService() and then bindService() at onCreate(), it will restart the service at every launch of Activity. (Which I don't want).
So I could I start service once and then bind next time I launch the activity?
I am writing an application that listens to phone calls and perform some tasks when phone call arrives. The Application contains one activity which includes 2 buttons 'Start' and 'Stop' (where starts register the listener and stops unregister it - see code below).
The problem starts when the application is closed ( onDestroy is called ). If the user pressed on the start button and exit from the application the listener still working (which is the expected behavior) but from now it is impossible to unregister the listener since launching new instance of the application create new instance of phoneListener.
My question is:
1.Is there better way to implement my requirement?
2.Can I save the phoneListener object and reload It on application creation?

I have a widget that launches an activity, but when the activity finishes using the finish() I don't know how my widget can know about it since I can't override onActivityResult() which seems like the only way to listen when an activity closes...?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a customized ListView (or similar) which will behave like a closed (circular) one:
scrolling down - after the last item was reached the first begins (.., n-1, n, 1, 2, ..)
scrolling upward - after the first item was reached the last begins (.., 2, 1, n, n-1, ..)
It sounds simple conceptually but, apparently, there is no straightforward approach to do this.
I have already received an answer (from Streets Of Boston on Android-Developers google groups), but it sounds somehow ugly :) -
I did this by creating my own list-adapter (subclassed from BaseAdapter).
I coded my own list-adapter in such a way that its getCount() method returns a HUGE number.
And if item 'x' is selected, then this item corresponds to adapter position='adapter.getCount()/2+x'
And for my adapter's method getItem(int position), i look in my array that backs up the adapter and fetch the item on index:(position-getCount()/2) % myDataItems.length
You need to do some more 'special'stuff to make it all work correctly, but you get the idea.
In principle, it is still possible to reach the end or the beginning of the list, but if you set getCount() to around a million or so, this is hard to do :-)

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe default way configuration changes (i.e., rotates) are handled is to destroy the activity & recreate it with a new one. What is the recommended way to handle these changes in an activity that binds / unbinds to a service (that is possibly heavy/slow to start)? When the activity gets destroyed, it unbinds & causes the service to be destroyed. When the new activity is created, it binds & recreates the service.
The only choices seem to be:
-- override onConfigurationChanged in the activity. Feels ok, but non - conformant.
-- explicitly start the service & only stop it when the last activity gets an onDestroy that's not due to a config change (i.e., there was no call to onRetainNonConfigurationInstance). Feels icky.
-- explicitly start the service & don't stop it until some amount of time after the last unbind. Ickier.
On a related note, what happens between activity switches within a process, where the first activity (A) starts the next activity (B) & then calls finish() -- is there a guarantee that B.onCreate is called before A.onDestroy? If not, and the activities share a service, the same issue of keeping the service alive during this window exists, but with only the icky workarounds.
Is there a way to keep an Activity in memory after the user hits the back button on it?ActivitySearch is used frequently in my app, however after the user starts it up, then hits the back button, it's destroyed, and the next visit to it requires it be built from scratch again.If after its first construction, I could just request it be paused instead of destroyed on the back button, then I could reuse it. Is there a sensible way of doing this?The only way I could think of reasonably doing it is to combine ActivitySearch with ActivityMainMenu into a single activity, and simply switch views when the user chooses search, but this is probably a bad design.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen an app which uses the Map API is released it must be signed with the public cert. For individual use the key comes from the local debug keystore, created each time the Android SDK is installed. In other words, its different for each developer. When I include a view using it, then commit, my key goes in the xml, but the next developer to take an update clobbers his key, which being different to mine results in no maps being shown for him. Is there a smarter way to prevent this when a team is using the Maps API please?
