I'm programming an Activity that launches a second one through startActivity just like in the Forwarding example. The main difference is that I'd like to pass some data to the second Activity when starting it, for example an item selected in a list owned by the first Activity. I can't find how to do that. Am I missing something? I guess I do.

I am trying to display a dialog box in a simple Java class that is called from my main Activity but not successful. Please help me to figure it out.
I am passing the required values as parametrs.
I have two class: class MainActivity extends Activity :: Main *starting point *of Application class ShowMyDialog :: a simple java program In which I *generate an URl* and *display a dialog with WebView*.
I am passing the Acitivity from my MainActivity to this class as a parameter in function.
But I am *unable to call* the onCreateDialog method that I have *defined in the simple java class.
However, If I define the *onCreateDialog method in MainActivity, I am able to display it successfully.
What Should I pass as Parameter to the non Activity class from MainActivity class so that I am able to display the dialog as defined by showdialog method in JAVA class ???*

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project that require porting a program from Linux to Android; I have been successful to make work the required equinox3.6(modified) on Android and to make call the osgi by the application itself, BUT through the adb shell, running a script that launches the files in the .jar. At this point I should create an activity.apk that includes everything and makes it work the same way.
More in details, until now I have uploaded some archives.jar (containing the classes.dex) in the emulator: two jars for the program itself, a jar for equinox, other jars for support.Then there is the script.sh that launches the main.class of my program passing it some parameters necessary to the program and to equinox to start; the main.class launches the equinox framework and then the program can load bundles and do its job.To make it clear here is the starting script:
#/bin/sh
/system/bin/dalvikvm -Xbootclasspath:/system/framework/core.jar -Xverify:none -Dosgi.debug=file:.options -Dosgi.framework=file: org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.0.v20100517.jar -Dosgi.install.area=file:/bundles/ -Dosgi.java.profile=file: dalvik_Core_Library-0.9.profile -Dosgi.parentClassloader=ext -Dnetserv.container.ctrlport=7001 -Dnetserv.container.serveripv4=127.0.0.1 -Djava.security.policy=all.policy -Dnetserv.security.bindableports=1024 -Dnetserv.container.user=jae -classpath org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.0.v20100517.jar:netservlaunch .jar NetServ.launch.Main -console -clean
I have been trying to create an activity that behaves similar to my script, but without any success.I added all my archives.jar to my project the way of "Add External jars" and tryed to launch the main.class as it was another activity, using Intent, and passed the parameters using putExtra(), but on the other side, in the jar of the program, I cannot retrieve and use the needed parameters, because it is not an apk..

I'm writing an application that starts with a loading activity. In the loading activity the app requests html from web and parses the html, then it sends the parsing result to the main activity. The main activity has several tabs, and contents of these tabs are based on the result of parsing.For example, the result of parsing is a list of strings ["apple", "banana", "orange"], and I need to pass this list to main activity, so that the main activity can create three tabs named after three fruits.I would like to know if there is any way to pass a list of strings among activities, BTW, is it the common way of do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an app which makes use of several layout-views. Every layout - view also got a class for it, which extend the Activity class. One class for example retrieves some database values whilst offering a search form to the user. Afterwards the user can select one of those values and he gets presented with another screen which gives similar options as the one selected. Anyways, I'd like for the first Activity to be able to send an array with data (Strings for example) to the second one. Right now I show an activity by using:
Intent i = new Intent(this, activitysName.class); startActivity(i);
I have no idea whilst using this construction how I can "initialize" the new object with the String array I want to pass to it. So how should this be achieved ? Should I be using something else instead of an Intent-Activity combination ?
I have a Bitmap image and i want to forward the bitmap to another activity. I have two activities Activity A and Activity B. This is how I started the Activity B
startActivityForResult(new Intent(Activity A.this, Activity B.class), 120);
in activity B
private void forwardImage(Bitmap bit) {
Intent i = new Intent(MMS.this, Compose.class);
i.putExtra("MMS", bit);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
finish(); }
This is not forwarding to Activity A but if I put a String to the intent it'll forward. This is how I listen to result in Activity A
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch (resultCode)
case RESULT_OK: Intent intent = getIntent();
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra("MMS");
mmsImage.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
default: break;
} }
How can I pass a bitmap.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I'm getting really confused on how to do this whole thing and I was hoping someone could break it down for me a little bit.I have a service that should always be running, and at certain times it needs to alert the user that a task is to be completed(probably through a notification bar icon). When the user accepts the task, the service needs to look into the local database, construct some non primitive objects, and give them to the activity that it just started.I have looked all over and gotten very confused as to a proper approach so I have a few questions to help me wrap my head around it.If an activity creates a local SQLite database can the service and activities of that application access that same database later?Does the service and activity need to be in the same or separate packages? I would think no but for some reason I remember seeing something about this elsewhere.
How would I do the data transmission from the service to the activity? I was thinking a content provider but it seems like there should be an easier way for the service to just hand off the data. Similar to an Intent but for non primitives.
I'm trying to create an activity which would be on top of other activities (a small dialog themed activity) and I want to get ALL key events to be ignored by my activity and handled normally by the activity beneath it. When I say all I mean the send, end and back keys too. Is this possible?I've tried setFocusable(false), setting the flag FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, and adding a dummy onKeyListener but nothing doesn't seem to do the trick.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am developing an image applications.
One activity decoding image file (jpg, bmp, and so on) to byte buffer RGB 565 or 888 type.
Then want to pass image buffer to another activity for change image data.
I have 3 activity the main decoding activity[A] and selecting effect activity[B] and apply effect activity[C] for change image data.
If i use intent then activity[A] should make intent[1] and putExtra to that intent. and then [B] call getIntent and getByteArrayExtra for get byte buffer.
If user select effect then [B] make new intent[2] and putExtra to intent[2]. and startActivityForResult with intent[2] and activity[C].
Then activity[C] call getIntent to get intent[2] and getByteArrayExtra for get byte buffer again.
There takes much times to make new byte buffer and copy from parent's activity's byte buffer 2 times. [A]->[B] and [B]->[C]
That process drops application performance.
Questions
1. Can i pass intent[1] to activity[C] without make new intent[2] and putExtra byte buffer? by modify intent[1]. (if it works just 1 buffer copy will perform)
2. Can i use application global memory for share byte buffer? if i use hash map how can each activity access same hash map? (if it works don't need to copy buffer)

I'm new to Android, and event driven code in general. Rather than embed loads of anonymous event listener classes in my Activity to handle onClick events etc, I defined separate classes to keep the code clean. Then I use them e.g. like this
myButton.setOnClickListener(new MyEventListener());
So, when 'myButton' gets clicked, MyEventListener's onClick method does some stuff.
I wanted to know the best practice for
a) accessing things in my Activity from the event listener. For example to change the text of a label. The onClick event takes a View in, but this is the view for the button that's been clicked, so if the label is NOT a child of my button, I can't use findViewById to get a handle to it. I've modified the constructor to pass in a reference to the label, so that the event has a handle to it but not sure if this is the most elegant way of doing it.
b) Passing information back e.g. when my event fires, I might want to disable some EditText fields. I'm thinking the proper way to do this is probably to dispatch another event from my event listener, that the Activity listens for, and when it sees the event, disables the fields in question. Is that the way to do it in Android?
How do you pass an intent from a service to a new activity launched from a main activity? There's a passextra( intent src ); but I don't think thats what I am looking for?

I am trying to create app widget.In this widget I have added one image button.If i click on this button i should pass list of object to next activity.Before passing this list to activity I am converting it to parceable list and adding it to bunddle and puting that bundle to intent.This logic is working fine in android 1.6, but this is not working in Android 2.1.In android 2.1.I am getting Null pointer excepion when I try to access this list in next activity.To solve this problem I tried to pass only String data through bundle,in next activity String is displaying properly,but when I try to pass list,then only i am not getting list in next activity.
