Android :: Starting An Activity From Callback Class
Aug 18, 2010
I 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.

I'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".

I had come across a code snippet which calls for an activity without referring to any context. Before, i was considering that context is used to tell about the calling component. But as i came see that another component can be called without any reference to context, it makes me wonder what purpose it might be serving. please put some light on it.
Here is the code which calls for an activity without referring to 'context'

My Android Java Application needs to record audio data into the RAM and process it. This is why I use the class "AudioRecord" and not the "MediaRecorder" (records only to file).
Till now, I used a busy loop polling with "read()" for the audio data. this has been working so far, but it peggs the CPU too much. Between two polls, I put the thread to sleep to avoid 100% CPU usage. However, this is not really a clean solution, since the time of the sleep is not guaranteed and you must subtract a security time in order not to loose audio snippets. This is not CPU optimal. I need as many free CPU cycles as possible for a parallel running thread.
Now I implemented the recording using the "OnRecordPositionUpdateListener". This looks very promising and the right way to do it according the SDK Docs. Everything seems to work (opening the audio device, read()ing the data etc.) but the Listner is never called.
I am working with a real Device, not under the Emulator. The Recording using a Busy Loop basically works (however not satifiying). Only the Callback Listener is never called.
Here is a snippet from my Sourcecode:

I release a class. In the class, there are public fields that can be written. I want to register the callback function which will be called right after my field is accessed. I think I can do that by using JVM tool interface which is supposed to be used for a debugger software. JVM tool interface:
I'm not sure same interface is working on android. or, They provide another form of interface to get a notification of a field access.

Our application will expose a Service that can be called by Activities in other people's applications.In many cases, the parent applications calling Activity may be paused before our Service completes. I am looking for the best way for a Service to communicate back to the calling Activity that may have been paused.These are the known options:
(1) Require calling Activities to have a registerReceiver() with a custom action and broadcast to that from our Service. The only way to secure this registerReceiver() is with a signature-based permission.As our Service communicates with any number of unknown 3rd party apps,we can't sign our Service's parent app with all these unknown certificates. These apps would therefore be exposing an unsecured registerReceiver() on their Activity. Would ideally like to avoid requiring this.
(2) Create a PendingIntent to send results back to the activity and give it to our Service. Our Service would send data to calling Activity's onActivityResult(). Each time the result is delivered, the calling Activity will go through onPause() and onResume() but this should be OK.
(3) The calling Activities could create a Handler. The Activity would then create a Messenger pointing to that Handler and send it to our service. Our Service can then use the Messenger to deliver our message back to the calling Activity.

I want to find the dimensions of the various views in my layout. My understanding is this can only be done after layout is completed since layout is somewhat dynamic. So, after the activity calls setContentView() and then returns control on the main thread to the OS so that layout can occur, how do I get a notification that layout has completed so I that I can query the views for their dimensions? On a related topic, can I find out the status bar's height or least the screen's full size (from which the status bar's height can be calculate by subtracting my window's height)?

I'm just getting into Android development, and I have a question about communicating between a receiver class and an activity class. I'm very new to JAVA and Android so I hope I don't sound too stupid. I'm developing an application where I intercept an SMS message and then based on various elements of that SMS I might delete it once it's been saved to the inbox. I have a receiver class that intercepts the txt message, and I am also able to delete messages from my inbox with code in the activity class using a button at the moment. The problem I have is communicating between the receiver class and the activity class where the code to delete a message resides. I tried putting that code directly into the receiver class but as I'm sure most of you already know the BroadcastReceiver class doesn't seem to support what I need to delete messages. I've been searching for an answer to this for a while, but haven't been able to find anything. Honestly I'm not sure I know enough about JAVA and Android to even recognize a solution if I saw it.

I'm new to Java and android development. In my application I need data which is accessible for a few activities. I've read that a good solution is to use Application class for this. So I use it like this:
public class MyApplication extends Application {
private String str;
public String getStr(){
return str;
}
public void setStr(String s){
str = s;
}
}
and I can access this variable from activity like this:........................................

In my application, there is a service which has a running thread to capture data from remote server, and also this service is triggered by AlarmManager, for example let 1:00 am to start the service. After the service finish the task, it stop itself and the main activity need to update GUI. I don't know how to let the main activity know when the the service stopped, so that the main thread can update GUI.

Need 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.

I 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. I've tried searching the net but I've had no joy in finding a solution You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

startActivity() displays the new Activity on top of the current one. But how to display it underneath instead? BTW, I'm starting an Activity from another application, if that makes a difference.

When 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.

I 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.

I'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?

I'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.

I 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.

I have 4 Tabs in a TabHost...let them be A,B,C,D.... now each one is just an index page and clicking on any of them shows a different activity...
The problem is that i need to start another activity wen user selects something from the content displayed in the tab... The other activity should also be displayed in the parent tab itself... is it by any chance possible or i'll have to try some other way around?

I'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.

I 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)?
