Android :: Start Another Application From Another Package With An Intent
May 6, 2010I know how to update my own programs, and I know how to open programs using the a predefined Uri (for sms or email for example)
I need to know how I can create an Intent to open MyTracks or any other application that I don't know what intents they listen to.
I got this info from DDMS, but I havn't been succesful in turning this to an Intent I can use. This is taken from when opening MyTracks manually.

Android :: Start An Activity In Another Package
Jan 25, 2009My application has 2 packages because one is shared with my other applications. I want to start an activity of the shared package.
I tried the following: Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName(shardedPackageName,sharedActivityName); startActivity(intent);
It throws an ActivityNotFoundException and suggests that the activity might not be in the manifest. But how do I list an acitivity from another package in the manifest?
Android :: Start A Service Which Is Defined In A Different Package?
Apr 25, 2010I have two apps, one runs in namespace com.gtosoft.voyager and the other is com.gtosoft.dash. From com.gtosoft.dash I would like to start up the service which is defined in com.gtosoft.voyager...
I think I need an intent, but what arg(s) would I pass to the intent before kicking it off with startService()?
If they were in the same package I could just use

Android :: Activity Is Unable To Start Service In Same Package / What I Am Missing?
Jun 9, 2009I have a service class my.app.MyService that I'm attempting to launch from my.app.MyActivity as follows:
Intent svc = new Intent( this, MyService.class );
The manifest contains the entries:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE" />

LogCat gives the message:
"Unable to start service Intent { comp={"my.app/ my.app.MyService" } } : not found"
Could someone kindly let me know what I am missing?
Android :: How To Start A Remote Service In Android That Is Implemented In Another App - Different Package
Jun 19, 2010i'm a bit stuck with remote services in android. thing is i implemented a remote service in package "a.b.c" and i want other applications to be able to access this service. i got rid of the whole crappy aidl-stuff and designed the "interface" of the service to work via broadcasted intents. works fine so far...
problem is: how do i get a different application (different package, different project, maybe even a different developer, ...) to start/stop the service?
CODE:..........
This will crash my app immediately on startup. what did i do wrong? how will i get this to work?
once it's running, commands and data will be passed via broadcasts. so that should be no real problem...

View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Application Shutdown During Package Reinstall
Aug 21, 2009I'm working on the upgrade process for an Android app and am having a hard time ensuring a graceful shutdown of the old version. Can someone explain how the old version of the app is killed and if there is anything we can do to hook into the process? In more detail:
We notice that a new version of our app is available and launch a new activity with Intent.ACTION_VIEW pointing to the new apk file (or to the marketplace, once our app is there). However, the user has 2 chances to abort the install (once at the warning about reinstalling the app, and the second when warned about the permissions our app needs). My understanding is that I can't use startActivityForResult() with ACTION_VIEW, so I can't find out if the Action is aborted or not. So we can't tell if/when the install has been started.
We'd like to ensure that our app shuts down cleanly since we use a lot of native code and threads. We could kill our app proactively, as soon as we launch the ACTION_VIEW activity, but then we're left in a bad state if the user aborts. We could wait for the installer to remove our files, prior to installing the new version, but that's a hack. Is there any clean way to do this? Our main window is never seeing an onDestroy(), btw.
Android :: Application Package 1.6 - Class Rightaway
May 4, 2010I have developed an application which has several packages within it's project. A class in one of those packages is called right away in the first line of code, which throws the dreaded java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error. I don't get it, the package simply is within the project, and it works fine on my Android 1.6 device, but won't work with my 1.5 device. I do have to say that the project was originally set for 1.6, but then I changed the within the manifest from 4 to 3. Is that bad practice? Or maybe it has nothing to do with the platform version? Also I do get these lines as wel from the DDMS :

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Browse Deeper Into /data/package/application
Apr 17, 2009My app is creating a directory by using File thisDir = getDir("mycustomname", Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE); It is stored at /data/data/package/app_mycustomname/. I can browse that directory with DDMS or with 'adb shell', of course, it is empty. My App then creates some subdirectories there, and those have subdirectories too, and so on, and creates files in several of those. My app can read all those dirs and files, too. Sometimes I have to take a look at this directory tree, but I cannot browse deep into that tree, neither using DDMS (both inside Eclipse and standalone) nor using the shell. I can see that there is a directory called / data / data / package / app_mycustomname / mysubdirectory and I can even 'cd' into this directory. But when I do a 'ls' there, the directory is reported to be empty, though I'm sure there must be something inside. app_mycoustomname has the permissions drwxrwx-wx app_mycoustomname/mysubdirectory has the permissions drwxrwxrwx. I have the same issue on the emulator and on the ADP1, both running a 1.1 firmware.

Android :: Start Application With SMS
May 1, 2009I would like to know if anybody knows how I can start my application with an incoming SMS message.
For example, I send an SMS message from phone A to Phone B. When Phone B receives the message, it checks if it is sent to my program. If it is, it starts(run) my application. Important thing here is that my program is not running in the device unless SMS is received, so it can not be listening for SMS itself.
