Motorola Droid X :: Hang Up Icon Unresponsive - Hang Up Call Quickly
Jul 19, 2010This has happened to me several times in slightly different cases. Several times I've mistakenly placed calls to the wrong people (due to just messing around with the phone).
In a panic, I pressed the "back" button thinking that it will cancel the call. It didn't. I also tried the "home" button. Also no good.
I had to drag down the notifications bar to see the phone call in progress and finally access the red Hang Up button. That worked. The problem is that is is SLOW. And worse, one time the phone would not respond to the button press until after several tries (maybe the CPU was busy on something).
Anycase, that would appear to be a major problem with all these touchscreen-only smartphones - lack of a physical Hangup button.
Is there any workarounds to this? Perhaps some sequence or combo of the existing physical buttons to forcefully hangup an errant call?
Android :: Views And Their Child Views - How To Avoid The Ugly - Boxes - When Child Views In A View Has Another Color Than Background
Jan 6, 2010I have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.

Nov 16, 2010I am implementing a music player application in Android. My play list selection screen is implemented as a tab selector widget which contains a ListActivity inside each of the tabs: Artist, Albums, Songs.
I want to update the ListView in each of the ListActivity when I delete an item from any of the lists.
i.e. When I long press an item in the Artists list a context menu is drawn with "Delete Artist"
And it should delete all the songs from this artist in the Songs ListView, delete all the albums by this artist in the Albums ListView, and finally delete the entry for the artist in the Artist ListView.
Each of the ListActivity has its own fillData() method, which updates the ListView when the button in the context menu is pressed.
How can I call the fillData() method of the Albums ListActivity after I update the ListView inside of the Artists ListActivity?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Different Hint Strings For Searchable Activities?
Oct 29, 2010I am supporting search in my app, I'd like to display a unique hint in the search box depending on what activity is being viewed.
To that end, I have a two different searchable.xml files in my xml folder:

CODE:............
Pressing the search key does not display the search box. If I just reference the first searchable instead, it works fine:
CODE:.....................
Again, both have the same content. It looks like there is a dependency on the name "searchable.xml" within android?
If we're not allowed to have searchables named anything but searchable.xml, how do we specify different hint strings for different activities?

Android :: Switching Views With RadioButton And Saving Views In Bundle
Mar 6, 2010I have the following XML code:.................
The idea is to change the views, whenever I press one of the radio buttons. When I press a button the first time everything works out fine, but the second time I press a button, I get an IllegalStateException, and I can't quite see why I'm getting this.
Also, the Activity seems to set all my global variables to null, which is why I have to create them every time I switch from portrait to landscape or vice versa. So I would like to know if there is a way I can save my views in the Bundle, or any other way in which I can permanently save my views, so I don't have to add or create them every time, I flip the phone. And whenever I flip the phone, it seems that it rereads the main XML file, causing the RadioGroup to be set to 2D even if the 3D button is checked. This is because I've said the 2D button to be checked from when the app is first created, but I would like to also save the state of that RadioGroup.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Make A Hint Wrap In An Phone EditText?
Mar 1, 2009My EditText hint is not wrapping. A hint isn't very useful if the last part is cut off. I am very cautious about restricting/forcing the dimensions my EditText box to ensure it looks decent regardless of screen dimensions. Here's what the relevant xml looks like:
<EditText android:id="@+id/ET1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:hint="@string/Hint1"
android:lines="3">
</EditText>
I've already set android:lines="3" to mitigate the issue, but it isn't enough. In order to maximize compatibility with various screen dimensions I would prefer OS wrapping over me putting in line breaks and hard returns in the string. There are other things happening in the view which also compel me to not manually set the width of the box to promote good breaks.

Android :: Do Root Views Of An Activity In Android Have Any Prior Knowledge Of The Child Views That Will Be Loaded Into Them
Jan 25, 2010Is there any way to query a root view of an activity for all of its child views even before the root view or its children have been inflated? I guess what I'm looking for is whether a view knows ahead of time what children it will have before it gets inflated, and can I get that list in some way. Bizarre I realize, but I think it will help me with some unconventional automation testing I'm working on. I haven't found anything in the API like this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Hang Up On One Of Two Callers
Jan 21, 2010I have had my sprint HTC Hero for some months now and love all the neat apps I can load. BUT... the actual telephone app seems dysfunctional. I imagine the telephone function is built in and probably cannot be fixed by the average developer and maybe this is also a function of the carrier (sprint in this case).
PROBLEM:
When I have multiple calls my Hero interface provides no easy mechanism to hang up on one caller only. It has just one "End call" virtual button and pressing this drops the entire call interface.
So for example if I accept a call waiting then the prior caller is placed on hold while I talk to the interrupting caller. When I am done talking to the interrupting caller I have only the option to "End call". Pressing this will drop the entire call interface. What happens next depends ...
IF I have hung up on the interrupting caller before they hang up on me then I will still have someone on hold (but nothing shows this). Some seconds later (like 5) the system realizes I still have someone on hold and rings as if a new call. Clunky but at least it works.
IF the interrupting caller manages to hang up before my "End call" registers then the phone ends the only remaining active call which is of course the person on hold. No indication of this either except I wait 5 seconds and realize my phone is not ringing. The lag time on the HTC hero is so large that this happens just about half the time.
IF I don't hang up at all but instead just wait for the interrupting caller to hang up then the phone will put up a new screen that shows that the person who just hung up is still active, the person on hold is on hold, but in fact I will be connected to the person listed as "on hold". So the interface is wrong but at least I have not hung up on the holding caller. In this case it is very unclear if my call waiting slot is free or not. I have had people unable to call when I thought the phone was connected to just one person. Effectively the call waiting slot seems already occupied when in fact it is not. Don't know if this consumes double minutes or not.
To me this seems like an event driven system without a properly deterministic event handler. Or perhaps there is really no way for the phone's understanding of call waiting to by synchronized with the carrier's.
Almost done ranting...
Lastly, while making a call the screen seems to stay active for its full timeout period so that my cheek can sometimes press a virtual button and end the call. I would love it if I could press a button to de-activate the screen sooner but unfortunately that button also terminates the call. Wasn't there supposed to be some mechanism that detects that the phone is cheek bound and deactivates the screen? Could use a manual way do force this.
Android :: Way To Hang Up Phone Call Via Api?
Feb 23, 2010I've spend the last couple days looking for a way to hang up a phone cal via the API. I'm guessing for some "security" reason that Google does not allow this. Not being one to give up yet...is there any undocumented way to hang up a phone call? Of course the real solution would be for Google to add a HANG_UP_CALL permission and expose the hangup() method to the public API, but it doesn't appear that will happen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Hang Up Outgoing Call?
Feb 2, 2009We are new to Android and creating an application where one of the things we need is to control the outgoing call, at least to be able to stop it from our application. For now we tried using Intent.ACTION_CALL to use existing activity:
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse ("tel:" + phoneNumber)); startActivity(callIntent);
But we can't figure out whether it's possible to stop launched by this default Call activity. Is it possible? If yes, how? If not, what should we use to write our own Call activity to make a very simple call? We would want this activity only to be used by our application, not for all outgoing calls.
