Android : Notification Bar Height From A Service
Jun 15, 2010
The application I'm working on is a service which runs in the background in android. The problem is that I need to determine the height of the notification bar for some functionality of the service.
I found a number of solutions for this, for regular activities - a view inside an activity can determine its own height without the notification bar, based on checking its actual view size from its onSizeChanged event, after it is already drawn. However, this is not applicable to a service which has no physical view drawn.
I would really appreciate any ideas on getting the size of the notification bar at a system level, perhaps?

Is there any way to change the height of the "extended" notification (i.e. the contentView in the Notification)? It seems like I get the standard two lines no matter what... I'm thinking I've missed something, but ...

If I have the following:
CODE:..............
How can I get the body (second EditText) to fill the rest of the screen, but still have the scrollview kick in when the contents of the body are too long? Like a height="wrap_content" and minHeight="fill_parent"
layout_height="fill_parent" seems to not do anything if you put them in a scrollview
A working example of what I want is the email app compose window
I tried this and the EditText elements act like they are wrap_content and no filling is happening. Just scrolling if you type enough
CODE:...................

I want to put a button next to a EditText and I want their heights to match.For example, from the built in Android browser:
The Go button is the same height as the EditText field.I know I could wrap both these views in a parent layout view, and set both of their heights to fill_parent, and that would make them match.However, I would like to do this without having to give the layout a static size.I would rather have the EditText take whatever height it needs based on the font size and then have the button next to it match whatever height that might be.Is this possible with an xml layout?

I am having problem with a GridView within a RelativeLayout, which is again within a ScrollView. The problem is that the height of the RelativeLayout is not following the height of the contents of the GridView. When there are more than one rows, the GridView is clipped and a scrollbar appears, which is undesirable. I have tried to illustrate my problem using an screenshot from the Android hierarchy viewer. You can see how the red RelativeLayout box has clipped the second row of the GridView. I am pasting the XML layout of the page (page.xml) and the individual grid item (griditem.xml). I have used the following code to inflate the grid items in the gridAdapter code:
CODE:.................
What I should do to have the height of the RelativeLayout follow the full length of the gridView?
Here is the screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/98rs4n/4

I have a service running, and would like to send a notification. Too bad, the notification object requires a context, like an Activity, and not a service.
Do you know any way to by pass that ? I tried to create an Activity for each notification bu it seems ugly, and I can't find a way to launch an Activity without any view.

I am currently working on a project which requires a server to request data from the devices which are currently connected to the server. Meaning, first the server finds out which devices are connected to the server and then sends an application specific message to the client device which should wake certain functionality present on the client, like for example send out its current location.
I was looking into XMPP service which looked promising since it works as a PUSH notification. The <presence> in XMPP can be used to check if the device is currently connected and has subscribed to the server. Since every android user has a gmail account, I was thinking of using the gmail xmpp service to connect /subscribe to the server. Then send specific message to the client, i.e x...@gmail.com. But if a message is sent this way the client app gets the message as well as the native gtalk client. So how do I go about intercepting this so that it doesn't show up on the gtalk client but my app still gets it.

I have a main application, that at some point spawns a service that checks for updates, if it finds any, it posts a notification with the ink to the update, and then the update service stops. Through the debugger I've noticed that the notification pops up but then disappears once my service is stopped, which I guess makes sense since the Notification object was instantiated within that service. What would be the best practice of keeping that notice available until the user clicks it?
1) somehow attaching the notification to my top service - which might get really ugly --> since that update service is spawned by another sub-service that is spawned by a broadcast receiver... so even if i wanted to somehow pass the object of my top level service it would mess the entire abstraction of my app structure and would force me to keep pointers to it through every event and service that I use... Perhaps there is some other way to get that service through the app's context? or any other alternative?
2) Finding a way to keep my update-service alive until the user presses the notification, but I'm not sure if there is any intent broadcasted that I could listen to...

I went to the sprint store, and I looked all over my phone for some sort of setting to get the phone to stop making the notification noise when out of service. Anyone know how to shut that off?

Notification Service In a Music Player: Useless or A Must have?
I ask this question because for the past few months i have been developing a music player, and whilst creating it, i have bumped into some issues and one of them is, a notification service.
I've tried and tried to implement it but haven't been able to so far.
So i need to know people opinions on the whole notification service in music players because if it's not that important then I'll leave it. I personally think every player should have it but what about you?

I'm not sure if there is a defect in my update... but upon completion of update, I noticed that when I drag down the notification panel, immediately below the status bar before the notifications, the words "(No service)" is displayed. I do not remember 1.6 having that... but is it suppose to show my network name? I hope someone could enlighten me. It is irritating having those words there not knowing what it means.

I work as a software developer and for the better part of my day I'm looking at my work screen and my phone is on silent. Because of this I miss SMS's and missed call notifications sometimes for hours. I have been looking for an app that allows me to push some, if not all, notifications raised by my phone to my desktop.
I tried growl but that requires a local web server which I cannot obviously run at work. I also do not have access to my work network from my phone because wifi is restricted. So I need a solution that sends these notifications over the web.
Is there an app or a service that can push notifications from android to my desktop?

I have a service running in the background.I have a background thread that gets a reference to the service from the application's main activity. But when the background thread calls a method in the service to display a toast, I get the "Looper not initialized exception".Why,if I have a valid, bound reference to a Service, does this still happen?

I am trying to run the sample soft keyboard included in the SDK. I am using the debugger, and the literature says that to use a breakpoint while debugging a SERVICE, I need to include:
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
So here is the portion of the code I modified:
CODE:...........
I have put a couple of breakpoints, at the statements indicated by the comments.
This is what happens: the debugger first stops at the breakpoint1, for a few seconds. But then the service restarts. For the life of me I can't figure out what makes the service to restart.

I have a GridView that displays images, which are, unfortunately, of different sizes. They are shown in between two lines of text:
CODE:.........
If IMAGE1 is the same height as IMAGE2, everything is fine, but if IMAGE1 is longer than IMAGE2, text2.1 will run into text3.1 (padding doesn't seem to help much, as there's too much of it when images are of the same height).
I know there's a way to stretch the images in the ImageView so they are the same height, but is it possible to keep images as is and set the row height somehow?

I'd like to get the height of a linearlayout. I found more information in this answer
View.getWidth()/View.getHeight() won't give you a meaningful answer until the view has been measured.
How will I know that view has been measured? Is there some event for it?
Solution for me is to get layout's height in overriden onWindowFocusChanged()

I have a TextView where I have called setText() and setWidth(). This causes the text to wrap and the view to grow longer with more text, which is what I want. But I have some other graphics that I want to position relative to the resulting height of the TextView. I tried calling getHeight() (after setting text and width) and that method returned 0. So how can I find the height of the TextView?

My service works exactly the way i want as long as i use start and stop and communicate using intents. However my activity needs to change the state of my service as well as retrieving state information.So i thought it would be nice to broadcast some kind of state_changed event from my service and use a binder interface to pull information from the service or change the services state based on user input.This works fine too. The only problem is that my service gets killed when i unbind it just as the documentation says.Is there any way to keep the service alive but still get an interface to control it directly. My activity offers the user a way to stop the service and the service kills itself anyway after it's work is done but i don't want the service to stop every time the activity is destroyed.
