View 4 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe wanted to follow-up. By now, you should have noticed that the installs metrics for your applications have been restored. We identified the problem as occurring with application updates only, have made some changes recently that should resolve and prevent this problem. Please let us know if this error persists.
If we can assist you further, please let us know. In my case, things have not changed at all. Downloads are increasing (1550) and active installs stabilized at 29% (the value before the drop was 44/45%). So, indeed active installs are increasing again - 29% is stable since three weeks - but the original percentage was not restored. Now, I don't know what to think... Maybe the problem is not solved, maybe in my specific case the active installs really dropped for a while (but it's curious that it only happened for a while...). BTW, I didn't release any new upgrade since then (I have a new one almost ready, but I'm beyond schedule because of personal problems) - and maybe the count would fix itself with new upgrades...
What would you do now? Is there anybody else for which the problem was not solved?

Is it possible to find dynamically what are the languages supported by the application? For example, I have strings for the following languages: English, French, Dutch and German. They are defined in their corresponding res directories: values, values-fr, values-nl and values-de. I want to give the user the possibility to choose between them and for this I want to load them. But I don't want to hard-code the choices. I tried to use: getApplication().getResources().getAssets().getLocales() But this method returns all the locales the phone supports.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android application that has several Activities. In it I have a class with several static methods. I would like to be able to call these methods from the different Activities. I'm using the static methods to load data from an xml file via a XmlResourceParser. To create a XmlResourceParser requires a call on the Application Context. So my question is, what is the best way to get a reference to the Application Context into the static methods? Have each Activity get it and pass it in? Store it somehow in a global variable?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMaybe others already know this or figured this out. Apparently our phones work a lot like a Blackberry. On a Blackberry if you hit the home key or end key to exit an app it will stay running. Same thing happens here. However, if you hit the return key to exit the app it will stop running.
I tested this out on my Incredible and it also works. I used Facebook and a couple other apps as examples. If I go in to the app and then leave the app by hitting the home key it stays as an Active backgrounded app. If I however use the return key to leave the app and return to my home screen then the app is listed as inactive cached. This could help a lot of people with battery life and sleep issues, but I'm not sure. I know the way Android works that background apps aren't supposed to really do anything There does appear to be a difference though. This also works on the Engadget app which I've heard people mention for not closing.
Is it possible to appear in link for say launching one application in some other applications. Typical example would we on desktop when we right click and get option Open With and see all choices of applications to open with.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, my ROM comes preloaded with a root app that I've never heard of, and I want to use Superuser (and the Elite I paid for).
The bundled app came with a 'cleanup/uninstall' script, that I ran, that promised to remove itself and it's root-granting abilities.
Now, even though I've got Superuser (Elite) installed, apps are saying I don't have root.
How do I configure Android (or SU) to use SU as my root-granting application?
I am developing a calendar app, wherein i will using a service to display date in the application icon text itself. For Eg: If date is: 26 Apr 2010, then my application name in the phone menu will also show the same.So I am not understanding how to change the application's icon text dynamically through program.

I'm trying to replicate the MediaPlayer action that happens when you long click a song, then click "Add to playlist" in the resulting contextmenu. When you click that menu item, another contextmenu pops up with "Add to playlist" as the title, and "Current playlist", "New", and however-many-playlists-you-have defined after that.

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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
