when a user leaves the current activity by pressing the home screen button, how can i make this trigger a method? This doesn't seem to call onResume(), onPause(), or onDestroy().

I have seen a lot of posts about this, and it seems like the code below should work. I have created an SD Card image and added it to the emulator (and that works fine).
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType("image/*");
//intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
It does launch and allow selection of images, but when I click on an image, everything exits and the emulator returns to the home screen, not back to my app. My onActivityResult is never called either. What am I missing?
During a call, I will hold the phone away from my face to see how many minutes I've been talking. Normally, it will correctly show me the call screen, however, sometimes it will flash the home screen briefly before going back to the call screen. There seems to be no rhyme or reason about when this happens. Even worse, sometimes it flashes the home screen briefly and will go to a blank screen. I will then need to press the home key in order for it to return to the call screen. This happens sometimes, as well, when I finish the call. Previously, I had the Not Call Log application installed but I've removed it. Also, I previously had my screen timeout set to one minute but changed that to thirty minutes. But, this behavior still happens

I want to push a bookmark/internet-shortcut to a user's home screen as a result of them clicking on a link-via their browser of choice.
I know they can usually set the bookmark themselves and then choose to put it on their home screen. But I'd like to provide a link like "Put a shortcut to this page on your home screen" that takes care of everything kind of in the background/underneath.
What parts of the framework would I need access to to make it happen?
my app is working perfectly and playing its music in the 1.5 and 1.6 emulators, my ADP1, and for everyone in the Android Market (at least there were no complaints). The problem is that when the app is run on the ARCHOS 5 tabled, the MediaPlayer.create(Context context, int resid) method returns null. I guess there might be a problem with the ARCHOS' Android implementation, but did anyone experience the same problem? What might be a possible reason for the create method to return false? The docs don't say anything. I'm also using SoundPool in parallel with MediaPlayer if that's relevant.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with Android 2.1 and have the following problem:
Using the method View.getDrawingCache() always returns null. getDrawingCache() should return a Bitmap, which is the presentation of View's content.
Example code:
public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
final View view = findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);
view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
view.buildDrawingCache();
final Bitmap bmp = view.getDrawingCache();
System.out.println(bmp);
}
I've already tried different ways to configure the View object for generating the drawing cache (e.g. View.setWillNotDraw(boolean) and View.setWillNotCacheDrawing(boolean)), but nothing works. What is the right way, or what I'm doing wrong? In real code I want to apply getDrawingCache() on a ViewGroup like RelativeLayout. Is the behaviour the same when using a ViewGroup?

I have code in my activity's onCreate that sets an onItemClick listener. when it fires I try to show a ProgressDialog that will be up until a subsequent thread "Thread" does it's processing. Strangely to me, the progress dialog never shows until *after* the thread.run() processing is complete. Almost like it's blocking. Am I doing something wrong? this is true even if the run method of doCurrentLocation doesn't do anything.

Is there a way to look up the user phone number other than TelephonyManager? In my G1, this returns null: // get your phone number TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystem Service (Context. TELEPHONY_SERVICE); String tel = telephonyManager.getLine1Number(); Log.i("Telephone Number ==> ", tel+" <=="); Is there any other way of getting user's own phone number? take care, Muthu Ramadoss. http://linkedin.com /in/tellibitz http://androidrocks.googlecode.com - Android Consulting.

Is there anyway I can tell the system to close this activity is the user clicks on home button? If so how can I do that? I need to do it as I am listening for location updates and I want to stop the updates and also need to trash any location that was available to me previously. I need to do this just in case any user while in that activity clicks on home button and changes the location settings.

I am designing a home screen widget. I ran this widget on a HTC Hero device, which has a screen of 320 pixels * 480 pixels with mdpi. It ran perfect on HTC Hero. The widget takes 3 cells * 2 cells space, i.e. 240 pixels * 200 pixels.Then I ran this widget on a Nexus One device, which has a screen of 480 pixels * 800 pixels, mdpi. Since Nexus One also is mdpi, so I though 240dip is equivalent to 240 pixels on Nexus One and 200dip is equivalent to 200 pixels on Nexus One, so the widget will not take 3 cells * 2 cells space on Nexus One device. To my surprise, when running on Nexus One device, the widget take exact 3 cells * 2 cells, about 360 pixels * 300 pixels, on Nexus One device.I am confused. The layout xml above specifies 240dip in width and 200dip in height for the widget, but why did it take 360 pixels * 300 pixels on Nexus One Device? What am I missing?
View 2 Replies View RelatedTwo things I'd like to be able to do with my incredible.First is reduce the number of homescreens. Seven is really pointless for me, it makes finding the right screen take a little longer and there's just not enough good quality widgets that I need to use. I could do better with 5 and possibly just 3.Second is that when I'm not on a homescreen and I hit the home button, I'd like it to go back to the LAST homescreen I was on, not the center one. And if I'm already on a homescreen, once again pull up the homescreen select menu, instead of going to the center homescreen. It's a waste of a button press to always go to that center screen when pressing the home button.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is more of an annoyance, but whenever I reply to a message off the home screen widget, it automatically defaults to the home number for that contact, instead of replying to the same (cell) number that it was sent from. If I go into the messaging app, it works as it should (replies to the same number).
