I'm trying to create a custom dialog in my application to show an about window but it ain't working. Maybe one of you knows a solution?
So I have an activity with the onCreateDialog(int id) overriden in it:

This is exactly as described here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog However this my exception thrown:

I've been trying to show a "Do you want to exit?", type dialog when user attempts to exit an activity. However can't find the appropriate API hooks. Activity.onUserLeaveHint() initially looked promising, but I can't find a way to stop the activity finishing.

Here are the classes:

How do I create a button that will show the second activity?
I've noticed that some users have not found my app's preferences sub menu, so I want to show that sub menu when the user first-time-ever starts the app.
Since onCreateOptionsMenu() would not have been called yet, how can I programmatically show such a sub menu?
BTW: openOptionsMenu() is not what I want because I want to open a sub menu. I suppose its part of the solution though. However, I get an exception when I call it:
Caused by: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running? at android.view.ViewRoot.setView(ViewRoot.java:468) at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java: 177) at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java: 91) at android.view.Window$LocalWindowManager.addView(Window.java:424)
even though, at the same point in the code, I can successfully open new AlertDialogs.
I am struggling trying to have the soft keyboard appear in a search screen and from the looks of numerous pleas on various forums, I am not the only one. I have tried many variants, culling from the byzantine attempts of those others.
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService
(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.showSoftInput (query, 0);
(for 0, substitute InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED or InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT.)
The problem seems to be that showSoftInput doesn't work from onCreate. This is a very common need. Surely there is a reasonable solution to this problem, or is it botched here?
I am displaying some data in a ScrollView. On activity startup (method onCreate) I fill the ScrollView with data and want to scroll to the bottom. I tried to use:
getScrollView().fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN).
This works when I make it as an action on button click but it doesn't work in the onCreate method. Is there any way how to scroll the ScrollView to the bottom on activity startup? That means the view is already scrolled to the bottom when first time displayed.
Say I have app A, in app A i want to set a schedule to startup the app B and C at specific time?
Is it possible to do that? if yes how?
Just need to know the code to fire the outside app.
How can you specify which item gets the default focus on Activity startup? Using requestFocus programmatically does not work. On setContextView the first focusable item listed in the XML is given the default focus. When using RelativeLayout, the first item listed is not always the desired item or necessarily on top.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a simple activity program in android. Basically the class just extends Activity.
But when I start it I get a ClassCastException in the constructor of my class. I don't even have a constructor defined, so it must be in the constructor of the superclass which is Activity. Unfortunately the debugger doesn't give any detailed information on what class it is trying to cast. Here is the stacktrace:
Thread [<1> main] (Suspended (exception RuntimeException))
ActivityThread$PackageInfo.makeApplication(boolean, Instrumentation) line: 649

And when I look into this runtimeexception I get:

The only code is:

public class MyApp extends Activity {

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating an app that show a Progress dialog in AsyncTask to inform the user while web information is being fetched. I've read there are two ways of doing this: Using handlers or creating and executing an inner class that overrides the AsyncTask class. I am trying to create and executing inner class that overrides the AsyncTask class, which runs a resource-intensive thread in the background, to provide progress updates, and reports back when finished.
On the OnCreate, I have: protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) { return ProgressDialog.show(ListSituation.this, "", "Loading. Please wait...", true); }

I have a Preferences dialog with some EditTextPreference elements. The preference values can be edited by end-users when they click on the particular item. However, at the first application launch, I would like to create a sort of wizard to guide the end-users through the configuration. I need to show the EditTextPreference edit dialog programatically. Somehow I need to emulate the end-user clicked on the preference.
Is it possible?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am writing an app that requires the user's current location (lastknownlocation won't be very helpful) and displays a list of all the closest "items" to them taken from the database.I have got the finding of the closest items working well but only using a hardcoded latitude and longitude location for the time being but now it is time to implement finding the actual location.Can anyone provide an example of how to have the app find the current fine location in the background and have the app wait. I only need the location once not updates as the person moves. I have implemented a location listener however I understand getting a GPS fix can be slow. I have seen other examples using last known location or implementing the location listener which continues to run and update however as my Activity needs the location coordinates before it can display anything the app just crashes. I need to show a Progress Dialog while its searching.
How can I have the locationlistener run once in the background and then remove location updates once it finds the location. I need the rest of the application to wait until it has a GPS location or timeout after say 20-30seconds. I would like a ProgressDialog up so the user knows that something is going on, but it just has to be the spinning loading animation not a percentage or anything. If possible I would like the user to be able to cancel the dialog if they are sick of waiting which then they can search by typing suburb etc instead.I have been trying to do it with threads but it is getting way more complicated than I feel it should be and still not working anyway. On iPhone this is much more simple?Can anyone provide a nice way of doing this, I have been ripping my hair out for a week on this and it is really putting me behind schedule for the rest of the app completion date.
I've got a PhoneStateListener to see call state changes, when a call is incoming I make my app show a toast notification to display caller data which I retrieve from a search service. Due to toasts limitation, i would like to show a dialog instead which allows me to show the notification longer and customize it with imageviews etc...
The problem is that when I implement the dialog and execute the show method in the state listener class, my application crashes.
Does anyone know how to implement this and have an example? It seems like WhitePages have solved this with their Caller ID app.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a tab host activity started from a home screen shortcut. When my application starts it downloads information from a server using an AsyncTask. In the onPostExecute method of the AsyncTask I call setContentView to display the TabHost.When I start the homescreen shortcut by tapping on the shortcut using my finger everything works as expected, I download the information from the server and display the TabHost with the information in the tabs. However starting the application by navigating to the shortcut with the mouse wheel and then clicking on the shortcut with the mouse wheel leads to a trap in the framework code as soon as my application starts. This looks like a simple fix since mCurrentView is null at the time that this method is called - can this issue be addressed? Does anyone know of any workarounds?

I have an async task that downloads the database needed for my app, while this is downloading my app cant do anything as all the data it references is in this file, i have the app waiting for the file to be downloaded but i am attempting to show a progress dialog so the user knows something is happening while they wait for this to happen.however nothing shows up i have also tried directly calling ProgressDialog.show in the pre execute and moving this to the calling activity with no luck.
