Android :: Starting Google Maps At Prespecified Location
Jan 17, 2010I have one problem with Google Maps, while opening them at some location. How could that be possible for user to specify city first (e.g. type in EditText field "London") then press a button and see London on the map? I've succeded in opening GMaps at some pre- specified location, but only using coordinates. Cannot find anything on topic.

Apr 28, 2010I just wanted to know wether it is posssible to pass records to the google maps app bis intents or something similar.I wrote an app for displaying route, coords and so on by myself, but wouldn't it be more elegant to ask google maps itself for displaying this?I don't know if this is possible, but maybe, one of you can answer this question.IF THIS IS POSSIBLE, is it also possible to ask google maps to calculate the route by my CURRENT POSITION?It would be great if one of you can show me a skeleton/dummy code. I have no idea how the intents would have to look like.

Aug 26, 2010Is it possible to provide directions on a map on Android from 1 place (e.g a specific lat/lng) to another specific lat/lng? I realise this is doable with the Google-maps API but can you do it within Androids native implementation?

Dec 4, 2009Need an example of how to create/start a new activity from the main activity. I have a button click event on the main layout. Originally I just used setContentView(R.layout.secondactivity); which brings up the layout but I don't think that is correct since the secondactivity class is not instantiated at this point yet. I have looked for such an example and can not find one.

Apr 25, 2010I have a map app which works fine when its stand alone but it causes an unexpected error when I try to add it as part of another app. My current app which extends Activity tries to launch the map activity with the following lines of code Intent m = new Intent(this, HomeSetter.class); startActivity(m); I also have the xml setup correctly <activity android:name=".HomeSetter" android:label="Screen 4"> </activity> <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> </application> However when I try to launch it crashes everytime.

Jun 9, 2010When I was originally learning about Android a few months ago I swear I read something about a way to immediately launch an activity when starting a task. I am curious about this now because I need to display an intro screen on launch but I don't want the intro screen to be the root activity. Does anyone know if there is something like this and if not what is the best way to handle an intro screen?I tried googling for a few hours to find it but can't for the life of me.

Mar 25, 2010I have the code to get the list of packages installed in phone. I have represented the list in the form of Array List, below is the code snippet. But upon clicking in the package name I want to start that application, but how do I get the respective class name and package name to run? Is there any other method which I can try to start an application? arrayList<String> PackageNames = null; List<PackageInfo> lis = pm.getInstalled Packages(GET_MINIMAL); Pkgs = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.package_list); for (Package Info pi : lis)packages.put(pi.packageName, pi); PackageNames = new ArrayList<String> packages.keySet()); Collections.sort(PackageNames); PackageNames.add(0, "All"); pgs.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple _list_ item_1, PackageNames)); Pkgs.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int pos,long rowId) { Intent i = new Intent(); i.setComponent(new ComponentName(class name,packagename)); startActivity(i); I have tried intent to start the activity, but don't know the class name and package name to pass in the ComponentName() to start activity.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Error When Starting Activity
Mar 22, 2010I'm starting an activity when a button is pressed, and normally (in other apps) haven't had an issue. But when I press the button in this app, I get an "unable to marshal value" error.Exact(ish) error from LogCat:
03-22 02:49:02.883:
WARN/System.err(252):
java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcel:
unable to marshal value
{CLASSNAME}@44dcf1b8
I feel that this might be related to the extra that I'm passing to the intent. I'm passing an ArrayList as a serializable to this new intent. My concern is that the data structure that the ArrayList contains isn't being serialized (as it's a personal data structure).Is the array list content data structure causing this? Something else that I'm missing?
Android :: Starting An Activity For Different Third Party App
Aug 19, 2010I'm working on an app and I want to integrate the Last.fm app into it. Basically, when someone is looking at an artist in my app, I would like to have a button that they can tap to open up Last.fm application with the artist's information.
This intent works, but it loads a menu asking which app I would like to use (Browser or Last.fm):
CODE:..........
However, I just want to start the Last.fm app and skip the dialog asking which app to use, I thought maybe using the setPackage() method would work like this: i.setPackage("fm.last.android");
But it causes the app to crash:
CODE:............
Is it possible to just start the Last.fm app?
Here's a copy of Last.fm's AndroidManifest.xml for reference.
Android :: Error When Starting A Tab Activity?
May 16, 2010I followed the directions verbatim in this Android tutorial, copying/pasting the code from the site to my app. http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html
However, when I try to run in the Android emulator, I get the error: "The application Hello Tab Widget has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I tried debugging by introducing a breakpoint in the first line of the onCreate method, but the error occurs before the breakpoint is even hit. Any idea of what is going wrong, or any other way I can debug this issue? I am using Eclipse.

Android :: Starting An Activity In OnStart
Apr 14, 2010I'm trying to start a floating activity from onStart to retrieve some info from the user right when the initial activity begins.
I have the following:
CODE:............
And callProfileDialog() is just:
CODE:..........
ProfileDialog.class returns a String from an input box. If the result returned is RESULT_CANCELED then I restart the activity.
The problem I'm having is that when the program starts, the screen is just black. If I hit the Back button a RESULT_CANCELED is returned then the initial activity shows as well as the floating activity (since it recalled itself when it got a RESULT_CANCELED). Why can't I get the activities show by calling ProfileDialog.class from onStart()? I got the same result when I called it at the end of onCreate() which is way I switch over to use onStart().
I have also tried the following:
CODE:.........
But this doesn't work either. It all works fine once I hit the back button but without doing that, it's all black.
Android :: OnRecieve Starting Activity?
Jun 23, 2009I would like to know the reason behind this behaviour.I have a broadcast reciever and in onrecieve i am trying to start an activity,however if i am not giving the flags it is giving an exception .On declaring the flags it is working perfectly fine,why?
I was under the impression that onRecieve runs in the main UI thread and we can launch an activity in onRecieve.Error given by the emulator is self explanatory but still why do i need to create an activity in a new task(only in onRecieve)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Starting An Activity From Callback Class
Aug 18, 2010I have an activity class(Application Class ) which calls a service class(Service Class) and closes. The service class takes about 5 seconds to complete its task and calls a method which is present in another class(Callback Class). Now according to the result, the callback needs to notify the Application class.Once i get the callback from the service, I tried calling a method defined in the Application class. In this method i create a new intent of Application class and call startActivity(Application Class). But this is not working. Can anyone tell where i am going wrong and what can I do to solve this issue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Starting Activity From Service / Receiver?
Oct 27, 2009I have a service that sometimes starts applications.The problem is: if the *previous app* (any app) was recently exited via the home key, then the following message appears in the log:ActivityManager: Activity start request from 10024 stopped.And there's then around a 5 second delay before the target app (any) is launched.If the previous app was exited with the back key, there's no problem.If the previous app exited more than a few second ago, no problem.The same also occurs with a broadcast receiver (which also requires the NEW_TASK intent flag to launch an activity).I don't know if the delay was there in 1.5, but I'm assuming not since I can't find the error message in the 1.5 source code.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Change Application's Starting Activity
Sep 2, 2010I have created the meat and guts of my application but I want to add a different activity that will be the starting point (sort of a log-in screen).
Couple questions:
1) I have a fairly decent handle on how to switch between activities (based on this article: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7498) but I'm not sure how to go about creating a new one (with eclipse).
2) once I have a new activity created, how can I set it as the default activity of my application? I presume I could just change the name of the classes...but is there a more elegant way to handle that (maybe within the AndroidManifest.xml)?
Android :: Starting An Activity From A Random Class
Sep 18, 2010I've adapted the GridInputProcessor-class of the 3D-Gallery ( http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Gallery3D.git;a=blob;f=src/com/cooliris/media/GridInputProcessor.java;h=91dfd4783be6b21ec8ff2518a5c244752570e90d;hb=HEAD ) so that it detects upward/downward swipes.
The detection of swipes works, but I now want to start another activity (or draw a bitmap on the currently displayed activity), but I seemingly can't use startActivity(mContext, myIntent), because the class declaration is public final class GridInputProcessor implements GestureDetector.OnGestureListener, GestureDetector.OnDoubleTapListener {so it doesn't extend Activity...
Can I still start an Activity through this class, or how would I go about doing this? I have also tried sending a broadcast, but this is also not "implemented".
Android :: Programatically Starting The Add Account Activity In 2.2
Aug 26, 2010I've been experimenting with the Android SDK over the past few days, in readiness to write an App for the store, however I've run across a bit of a problem.
The App I'll be writing requires that the user has a Google account associated with the phone. Retreiving and making use of the Auth token etc was not a problem, however I would like to be able to show the activity that a user would normal reach by going through the menus Settings->Accounts->Add Account.
Now through experimentation I've been able to launch this activity from the shell using the following command. am start -n com.google.android.gsf/.login.AccountIntroActivity
I'm having trouble performing the same action in JAVA using the Intent class.
Would anyone be able to tell me firstly whether or not this can be done via JAVA, and secondly how I could go about it please?
If I have to settle for the Sync Settings screen then I will (this can be achieved through the Settings.ACTION_SYNC_SETTINGS intent), however it'd be quite nice to be able to direct the user straight to the required screen.
