Our application has a fair amount of java script. As far as we known, WebView widget doesn't handle AJAX, therefore we want to bring up the brower to load the url. The problem is, after user done with browser, how can it goes back to where it left in our application? ( when user quit the browser, our application will show up the activity before went to browser)

I have an application with contains multiple activities. The main activity will start the others ( use startActivity() ) depends on user event, when an activity close, it calls finish() and return back to main activity. It appears to behavior like that.
However, the "problem" I see is main activity's onCreate function is called every time. I think the the main activity should be placed in the activity stack and simply push to front when others exit, therefore only onResume, onStart are called. Is there some flag I need to set or I misunderstand the activity behaviro?
In child activity, besides calling finish() or startActivity for main activity, what is other way to move main activity to front?
I created an application which enables the user to set whether he wants to receive notification while the application runs in background mode. If the notifications are enabled an activity should be started (the dialog should appear on the screen).

This is the method from main activity. When onPause() is executed isRunningInBackground is set true.
When I tried to debug it when the main application was running in the background the line
startActivity(intent) had no effect (the activity didn't appear).
Does anyone know how to midify the logic in order to start an activity from the main activity when the main activity is running in the background (after onPause() is called)?
I have tried to write an Android application with an activity that should be launched from a different application. It is not a content provider, just an app with a gui that should not be listed among the installed applications. I have tried the code examples here and it seems to be quite easy to launch existing providers and so on, but I fail to figure out how to just write a "hidden" app and launch it from a different one.
The basic use case is:
App A is a normal apk launchable from the application list.
App B is a different apk with known package and activity names, but is is not visible or launchable from the application list.
App A launches app B using the package and class names (or perhaps a URI constructed from these?).
I fail in the third step. Is it possible to do this?

I have a huge maze of activities in my application. What I need to do, is that when the user logs in into the system, the activity history should be cleared. I cant just use finish() when I start a new activity, because I want the activities to have a history until the user logs in. I have experimentet with the different flags when starting an activity, but I have had no success.

I'm working on an app that launches the browser activity to perform a Twitter OAuth authorization. This process uses a callback url which will re-launch the activity that started the browser activity in the first place.My problem is that the browser pages remain in the history stack and when the user then clicks back from the preferences activity that launched the browser in the first place, they don't go back to the app's main activity, but instead are brought back to the browser. I've tried adding flags to the launching intent to prevent history and reset on clear, but it doesn't seem to work when running on my phone, only on the emulators.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to start an Activity with startActivityForResult, but I keep getting an ActivityNotFound exception, and I can't work out why. I've looked through the code multiple times, and it seems to be identical to some other, working code. Any suggestions?

I have created two classes: Example1 and Example2, which extends activity.
Example1 contains a UI of buttons, while Example2 contains UI of TextEdit.
I want to call Example2 when a button is clicked, so this code is in an onclick method

i.setClassName("com.a.ui", "com.a.ui.Example2");
startActivity(i);
So I am able to get the UI of Example2 successfully.

when calling public void showAtLocation (View parent, int gravity, int x, int y)
I get the exception ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2500): Caused by: android.view.WindowManager $BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running?
At the moment I am calling from onCreate, but when calling from onStart or onResume it still gives the same error.
The activity api says the activity is supposed to be running after onResume is called. Where is the best place to load up the PopupWindow if it needs to be done straight away?
At the moment It looks like Activity.onWindowFocusChanged() is the best place.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy application has a background process which continuously waits on a socket for receiving messages and it should be started only once and at the time of application starting.Thus i want to do that background job in a service.
The service should not be started from the activity ,it should be started at the application starting.
How can i define the service,which will be started at the time of application starting?
If at all the service is started from activity.The activity can be destroyed and restarted.when this happens the service also be restarted .
