Android :: Cannot Stop LOCATION_SERVICE
Sep 23, 2010I have a simple application that uses the Android system service LOCATION_SERVICE. On app close I need the service to stop. I have searched hard and long for how to do this but I must not be looking for the right thing. Does anybody know how to stop this service?
Here is what I'm doing.
CODE:.......
The LocationManager class does not seem to have any methods to stop the service. That's where I thought you would be able to close or stop it.
Android :: Resource In Conflict
Sep 4, 2010My application has resource conflict problem. Did some investigation, seems like all the resources within the apk file are cached after they are loaded on demand. The cache is stored in Resources.java mDrawableCache. The key to retrieve the drawable from this cache is combining the data and assertCookie fields of TypedValue class. In my application, there are 2 resources, ex. a color background and image drawable, evaluated to the SAME key value.. So just wondering, how can it happen?BTW, I am using eclair SDK.

Dec 14, 2009I am using Android 2.0 and have the following situation:
CODE:..........
This activity belongs to a task that has a service running and is usually not killed, so even when I am in the home screen I see the task running on DDMS (I will call it Task A).
It is possible to start Activity A from another application (running on Task B). When it is launched, I assume Activity A is "reparented" to the Task A. I assume that, because the debugger stops on the breakpoint I have set on onCreate and I am debugging Task A only. Please, advise if this is not correct.
So at this point, as far as I can tell, Task A has only Activity A. When in this situation, the service running on Task A receives some event and puts a notification on the Notification bar. This notification, if clicked, will send an Intent that also starts Activity A (this Intent has flags FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK and FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP).
Now to the problem, what I expected is that, because of the CLEAR_TOP flag, Activity A would be destroyed and recreated, as it has standard launch mode. But what I observe is that another Activity A launches on top of the previous one. When I click BACK on the new instance of Activity A, the old instance is redisplayed, what for my use case is wrong. Note that this only happens when launching Activity A from another application. If I launch it from my application and click on the event on the notification bar, it is destroyed and relaunched.
Android :: APK Installation Fails / Package Conflict
Mar 24, 2009I'm testing an app I'm developing and asked a friend to install on their device. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for them to help me out so I put the .apk up on my website for them to download to the phone (rather than making them download the SDK and use adb to install). The install of the downloaded .apk fails, complaining of a package conflict.
I have since gotten my hands on the phone briefly and I verified that:
* they have selected "allow unsigned apps" in settings
* there is no package with the same (or similar) name in data/data * installing via adb works with not a peep
* when I download the .apk to my phone the app installs fine.
It would be really nice to make it as easy as possible to distribute to people who might be willing to do me the favor of testing.

Jul 24, 2010I was listening to Pandora and decided to open up Google maps (In the car). And I noticed that in Gmaps it wouldn't give me an accurate reading and by accurate meaning when it says "accurate to 3 meters". It would say "accurate to 1000 meters" or to 1200 w/e. So i closed Pandora and opened Gmaps and right away it gave me an accurate reading of 3 meters.
So I believe you cant run Gmaps accurately if you're listening to music on Pandora? Or is it just my phone? Try this and let me know what u get.
Motorola Droid X :: Conflict Between LauncherPro And WidgetLocker?
Aug 15, 2010Today I rebooted my phone and LauncherPro got stuck starting, only displaying a window in the top left corner, like it couldn't finish rendering the preview screen, and it never starts on that anyway. I was totally stuck without access to the menu buttons but still had the notification for WidgetLocker, so I was able to get to that, unlock it, restart the Moto launcher, and disable WidgetLocker. Now that it's disabled, I seem to be able to make LauncherPro my home again, but it looks like I'll have to disable WidgetLocker, which I really liked.Not sure what else could be causing the problem - probably something to do with WidgetLocker's home launcher sub-app.

Jun 13, 2010i've just upgraded to the Desire & am liking many things in it, but this issue bugs me:i've synced & linked the contacts in my 'people' app. in some cases, this involved linking the FaceBook profile of a person with a pre-exisitng phone number in my phone/sim card.The problem is that the phone seems to default to the Facebook 'profile picture' as the icon/photo that shows up in my People app (for that contact), even if tell it not to.I've tried downloading new pics, or taking a photo with the camera, and then manually setting this as the 'icon' for a certain person. This works for a while (a few hours?) and then within one day, the phone automatically re-sets this icon & replaces it with the Facebook profile pic. again.
View 17 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Contact Pic Resolution JB / ICS - Conflict 2 Devices And 1 Google Account
Sep 12, 2012I've got a smartphone running Jelly Bean. As I like the gmail contact photos very much, I was happy that one new feature of Jelly Bean is the fact that the contact photos are synced with Google servers in hi-res (720x720). I spent a good deal of time replacing the awful downsized pictures with new hi-res pictures. They sync in 720px, everything fine, so far.
Where my problem begins: Within the next days I expect the arrival of my new tablet. It's a low budget one (Arnova 10b G3) which runs Ice Cream Sandwich and which maybe won't ever get a Jelly Bean firmware.
I'm in a conflict now: On the one hand, I'd like to use the tablet with my Google account and not create a dummy account or something like that. This would spoil much of the usability of the account. On the other hand, I don't want to destroy my hi-res contact pics because one Google sync under ICS would downsize them forever and I guess they would again sync downsized to my Jelly Bean phone.
Is there maybe a hack that prevents Google from syncing the contact pictures? In this case, I could use the Google account on the ICS tablet just without contact pics. The downsized pics are rubbish anyways if one's display has a proper resolution.
Or, can one prevent Google from syncing the contacts after setting up the account? I know that the contact sync can be unchecked in the settings but as far as I know, that doesn't prevent the initial sync.
Android :: Android - Avoiding Conflict Of Setting Text Field Values
Nov 17, 2010I'm writing an Android application that allows a user to maintain a list of products. In the EnterProductData activity, the user can enter information about the product into form fields, which will then save the info to a SQLite DB. The EnterProductData activity also allows the user to initiate a barcode scan via the Barcode Scanner app in order to capture the UPC code. The problem I'm facing is trying to set the value of the UPC text field in onActivityResult() once the barcode scan activity is complete and returns the value.
What is ending up happening is my onResume() method is calling a function (populateFields()) that sets the values of the text fields to whatever is currently saved in the DB. And this seems to be happening after onActivityResult() is called. This means the scanned UPC is set as the text field value, only for an empty value to be set to it immediately after. The line of code to blame is commented with asterisks next to it. I imagine that if I immediately save the scanned UPC to the DB in the onActivityResult() method, I can avoid this problem, but that doesn't seem to be the best practice, in my opinion. Can someone advise me on what I should do?
EnterProductData.java
public class EnterProductData extends Activity {
private Button mScanButton;
private EditText mUPC;
private Button mSaveButton;
private Long mRowId;
private DbAdapter mDbHelper;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDbHelper = new DbAdapter(this);
mDbHelper.open();
setContentView(R.layout.enter_product_data);
mUPC = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.UPC);
mScanButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.scanButton);
mSaveButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.saveButton);
mRowId = (savedInstanceState == null) ? null :
(Long) savedInstanceState.getSerializable(DbAdapter.KEY_PRODUCT_ROWID);
if (mRowId == null) {
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
mRowId = extras != null ? extras.getLong(DbAdapter.KEY_PRODUCT_ROWID): null;}
populateFields();
mScanButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
IntentIntegrator.initiateScan(EnterProductData.this);}});
mSaveButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
setResult(RESULT_OK);
finish();}});
}private void populateFields() {
if (mRowId != null) {
Cursor product = mDbHelper.fetchProduct(mRowId);
startManagingCursor(product);
mUPC.setText(product.getString(
product.getColumnIndexOrThrow(DbAdapter.KEY_UPC))); //******}
}@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
saveState();
outState.putSerializable(DbAdapter.KEY_PRODUCT_ROWID, mRowId);
}@Override

}@Override

}private void saveState() {String upc= mUPC.getText().toString();
if (mRowId == null) {
long id = mDbHelper.createProduct(mRowId, UPC);
if (id > 0) mRowId = id;
}} else {mDbHelper.updateProduct(mRowId, UPC);
}}protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch(requestCode) {
case IntentIntegrator.REQUEST_CODE: {
if (resultCode != RESULT_CANCELED) {

I can set up both exchange servers at the same time. The first day the both work, but on the second day one of the two (so far always the same) start giving me connection errors, and will no longer sync emails.
I am almost sure that the problem is that for security reasons, both want to have their security policy (admin privileges etc) enforced over my phone, and when they re-check daily they find that the policy is not as they want it. to overcome this?
Android :: How Do I Do A StartActivity In BroadcastReceiver?
Apr 7, 2009My use case is to launch one of settings app screen when I receive a certain event in idle state. For which, I added my new intent to PhoneAppBroadcastReceiver() in PhoneApp.java (looks like this receiver handles the misc intents) But when i call startActivity(), The phone seems to go into a panic ex. startActivity(new Intent(this, NetworkSetting.class)); My questions are is this the right approach to go about ? If so 1. How can I launch the activity inside of broadcastReceiver? secondly 2. How do i verify if the activity i want to start is already started?Can the NEW_TASK_LAUNCH be used to verify this ,

Android :: AppWidgetProvider And BroadcastReceiver
Oct 2, 2009I have an app widget that extends an AppWidgetProvider to create an application widget.
I would like the application widget to be idle until an activity in my app runs; actually when a service in my app is started.
Once that service is started, I need to "wake up" the application widget and communicate with it (i.e. tell it things to display).
So I see that AppWidgetProvider simply extends BroadcastReceiver -- so does that mean:
1. I need to call registerReceiver in my service and tell it to filter for certain kinds of events?
2. Can I even do #1, or will an AppWidgetProvider *only* accept ACTION_APPWIDGET_* intents?
3. If #2 is correct, how can I communicate or "wake up" / trigger the application widget?
4. Can I send events to my app widget using sendBroadcast( intent )?
Then, my app widget has some buttons on it, I need to send an intent back to the application (or service). I see you can do that with PendingIntents, but if i send the different intents it to the same Activity, it seems to re-use the first created pending intent.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: BroadcastReceiver And AbortBroadcast
Jun 22, 2010How can I best implement a BroadcastReceiver that may need to "consume" the current broadcast (via abortBroadcast()), but it first needs to perform some non-trivial work to determine whether or not the broadcast should be consumed.
The problem is that if the non-trivial work takes more than 10 seconds then the receiver is considered to be blocked by the system and may be killed.
I realise that long-running operations should not be performed in the onReceive() method of receivers for that very reason, and should instead be handed-off to an appropriate service. However, if the current broadcast is to be consumed, then the abortBroadcast() method must be called within the onReceive() method before it returns. If some processing is required to determine whether the current broadcast should be consumed or not, then things can get tricky.
I'm developing an app that can consume some (but not all) inbound SMS messages. For any given SMS message it will need to perform some analysis based on the sender's phone number and the message body (including database lookups) in order to determine if the message is one that is relevant to the app or not. In the vast majority of cases this will take less than 10 seconds, but it is possible that it could take longer on rare occasions.
To get around this I'm considering the following solution.
1. On receiving a broadcast for a received SMS, my receiver starts a background thread to perform the required analysis and handle the message if appropriate. 2. The main thread (currenly executing the onReceive() method) waits until either the background thread has finished its work, or 8 seconds have elapsed, whichever occurs first. 3. If the background thread finished within the allotted time (which should happen most of the time), then the main thread calls abortBroadcast() or not, (depending on the result of the analysis) and returns normally. 4. If the background thread did NOT finish within 8 seconds, then the main thread stops the background thread and instead starts a service to perform the work. In this case it does NOT call abortBroadcast(), and the broadcast will be passed to other receivers (eg the default messaging app) regardless of whether or not the service ends up handling the message. While not an ideal outcome, it is acceptable.

Is this correct? I'm sending my phone some sms messages, but the log statement never gets printed.

Aug 8, 2010I'm trying to create an application that can use the android as a fax machine, IE Send a picture as a fax or receive a fax and save as a picture. So far I'm starting from the ground up and making sure I can intercept a call at the users discretion. I have an Receiver registered in the Manifest of my program with a filter of Phone_State which flags when the state has changed(IE incoming call).
So on my BroadcastReceiver I'm trying to have an AlertDialog popup prompting the user to either accept as fax or call but the AlertDialog seems to throw a android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException Error when it has an incoming call. My code is just simple an onReceive(context arg0, intent arg1) and I pass the arg0 to the AlertDialog...
The full error message is below

From what I have seen in the AlertDialog code, it passes the context as well as a Window and WindowManager, which I believe is why it's crashing, is there a better way or something else I should be using which might overlay the call screen?
