Android :: Can't Get Proximity Alerts / Way To Take
Nov 3, 2009SDK: 1.6 Firmware Version: 1.5
I am trying to get an alert when I get to my home. But, it looks like I am not receiving the message. Googled around quite a bit, but to no avail. I am able to get the LocationListener to display my current location. But, proximityAlerts are not working. The problem might be with the setting up and receiving the broadcast messages.
Following is my code...
Android :: Proximity Alerts Not Fired
Oct 5, 2010I'm trying to configure proximity alerts that will be feed from a Database and webservice provider; but I have a problem configuring a simple proximity alert for testing. I manage to create the alert but it never gets fired, I'm only trying in the emulator for now and donīt know if I need some extra code to trigger the alerts. I've read somewhere that the GPS provider to disabled so the network provider can be used in order to trigger the alerts on the emulator.
My code looks like this:...................
Android :: How To Clear Notification When Using PendingIntent?
Feb 10, 2009I am wondering how you would cancel a notification when you are not the party executing the associated Intent.For example, think about an Intent like ACTION_VIEW and a data/url like http://google.com. This intent is then wrapped into a PendingNotification and used by a notification. So when the user clicks on the notification the intent is fired, the browser opens, but the notification is not cancelled. As my code is not the receiver of the Intent how should I cancel it?

Jun 22, 2010I used AlarmManager to set the pending intent.
I need to find out the state of the pending intent, in other word, is this pending intent working or not. Boz i may need to cancel this pending intent, but before canceling it i want to make sure it's active.
But i see no function in AlarmManager can read this status.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Intent And Extras - Set PendingIntent On A Notification
Nov 23, 2010I set an PendingIntent on a Notification (notification.setLatestEventInfo). this intent is actually the same intent used to launch my app, only with a flag that I put in the extra (intent.putExtra(TAB_INDEX_PARAM_NAME, UPDATES_TAB_INDEX)).
So my first activity launches, it queries it's intent's extras and immediately navigates to an Alerts activity rather the normal activity on a regular launch.
The problem: from this point, every activation of my app navigates to this Alerts activity. when debugged, I find that the flag is "stuck" in the intent even though I removed/changed it. it just won't change.
How can change an extra on a giving Intent?
Android :: PendingIntent Always Creates New Activity Instance?
May 21, 2010My app consists of an Activity and a service that runs in the background. The service periodically checks a website for an alarm condition. When the service detects the alarm, it should put a user notification into the status bar. If the user clicks the notification, it should display the app's activity. If the activity is already running, that activity should become visible. If the activity is not currently running, it should be created.
However the notification created by my service *always* creates a new instance of the activity, whether the activity is currently running or not. How do I get the desirable behavior?
Here is my service pseudo-code:

Android :: PendingIntent From Notification And Application History Conflicts
Mar 29, 2010I'm creating a notification with something similar to the following:
CODE:............
The key here is the extra data on the Intent for the notification. Once I click on the notification and it brings up SomeActivity, it brings up the activity and the extra data is available.
However, if I exit the app, hold the home button until the recent activities list comes up, and choose to open the app again, the extra data is still passed. Is there a way I can make this data get passed only if the app is opened via the Notification, and not from the recent activities list?
Android :: Data Lost When Sending Bundle With PendingIntent To Broadcast Receiver
Sep 16, 2010I am adding some basic alarm functionality to my program via the use of AlarmManager and a BroadcastReceiver class (named AReceiver.java). My problem is that the data I add to the bundle attached to the Intent creating the PendingIntent appears to be lost. The only bundle data I can access in the AReceiver class is a android.intent.extra.ALARM_COUNT=1. Here is the basic code in the main activity class creating the Intent, PendingIntent and the AlarmManager: [Code in main activity - Notepadv3]
Intent intent = new Intent(Notepadv3.this, AReceiver.class);
intent.putExtra("teststring","hello, passed string in Extra");
PendingIntent alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, pendingPeriodIntentId, intent, 0);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, timeOfNextPeriod.getTimeInMillis(), alarmIntent);..................
Android :: Why PendingIntent Doesn't Send Back My Custom Extras Setup For Intent
Jun 27, 2010This questions somehow relates to the question when I was looking to get the extras back in startActivityForResult but now I face another challenge.
I have subscribed to receive ProximityAlerts and I have explicitly constructed the Intent to include some Extras. But when I got the service the extras are not there.
After the answers here is the working code:
CODE:..........................
The documentation says param PendingIntent to be sent for each location update.
Samsung Moment :: Spare Parts Other Usage / Network Usage Too High
Dec 1, 2009I don't know if it's my phone or what but when I look up the Other Usage on my phone, it shows it "Running" more than 2/3 of the time.And on Network Usage, "Android System" and "Media" use a great deal of the phone as well.I think this might have to do with my "android.process.acore" crashing every once in a while when it's asleep. Based on everyone's feedback I might have to return the Moment for a third time.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Proximity Alert And Battery Life
Mar 4, 2009I wrote a simple app that uses proximity alerts and after installing it on my G1 found that battery life have been halved at least. It's so bad that phone needs to be recharged mid-day or it completely dies by 9pm. There is no polling of any kind - just proximity alerts (3 of them). I tried with GPS turned off (using network triangulation for coarse GPS location) but battery life is still abysmal. Is there a general solution to improve battery life with proximity alerts or the whole GPS thing is a non-starter on G1s?

Jun 10, 2010I am adding a proximity Alert with an expiration of -1 (does not expire). I am testing using an Evo. The proximity Alert fires several times after entering the location and staying inside the location. I was thinking that the proximity alert should fire once when you enter the location and fire once when you exit the location. Should the proximity alert fire multiple times after you enter the location and stay inside of the location?

Jun 14, 2010I am trying to determine if an Android user has had a close proximity to a list of predetermined locations. I'd like to do this with the least amount of drain on the phone's battery. The two mechanisms I see for accomplishing this are proximity alerts and requesting location updates. What are the pros and cons of the two methods? Will one have less affect on the battery than the other? In either case I would guess the specific location manager used would have some affect power usage (existing Stack Overflow answer).

Seems ok on incoming calls but if I make an outgoing call the screen goes blank and the only way to reactivate is to hit the power key. This is starting to sound like faulty hardware to me. I read that the ota update was supposed to sort this! Any advise would be appreciated as other than this really annoying problem the phone is great!
