I am developing an application and as part of it I would like to show a tabactivity and use the contact activity to let the user see,modify,or call a specified contact.
My code is this:

I have a TabActivity, each tab holds an activity. At some point I'd like to 'refresh' the tabs. I'd basically like to restart each activity in the tabs. I'm not sure how to do this. Calling:
CODE:.........
Removes the tabs, but the activities still seem to be in alive, in limbo. How can I get them to really quit?
I am trying to figure out the best practice of communication between a TabActivity and the child activity embedded in this TabActivity.
In my TabActivity, there is a button. When the button is clicked, I want the child activity embedded in this TabActivity to be updated. I wrote the code like below, and just wonder whether it is a good practice.
CODE:..................
My TabActivity contains two tabs which calls two two different activities . I want to setResult() for the TabActivity when either one of the child finishes.
Is there any method to find out when my activity inside tab finishes?
I have a TabActivity. Each tab points to a sub activity. Works great.
Is there any clever way to refresh one of the activity tabs? I just want to 'restart' the activity in tab #3 for example. Not sure of a good way to do this other than building in refresh support to the activity itself, or clearing ALL the tabs and recreating all of them.
I want to add tabs to the layout of my activity, but I don't want the activity to extend TabActivity. The example in http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html only gave example of subclass of TabActivity.
Is there any way I can make it without extending TabActivity?
I would like to access the public method of an Activity run by a TabActivity using: Code...
Basically, what I what is to let the parent Activity call a method in child Activity in order to do something. Is this possible?
I did try this:((TeamHuddleScreenMsgsView)getTabHost().getCurrentTabView().getContext()).refreshModel(); but I'm encountering a ClassCastException. It seems that the getContext() still gives the TabActivity. Any help on how to get the child Activity?
I have attached a menu to my TabActivity, and when a menu item is selected, I would like to do something different based on which view is being currently displayed in the TabHost.
int getCurrentTab() returns me the id of the current tab... but from that int how can I get the instance of the activity running?
I also tried getCurrentView(), getCurrentTabView(), but these return things I can't seem to cast to the class of the current activity.
I'm trying to create a tabbed view in my widget configure activity. I'm using a tab activity as my activity type and I have the following code..................

View 2 Replies View Relatedso i have gone thru everything i can find on this forum but i am at my wits end. i have been able to get my outlook contacts into my gmail account (the csv import worked reasonably well). what i don't understand is that i can view a contact in gmail and see phone numbers, address, email, etc. when i view on the G1 all i get is their email. what am i doing wrong? yes, i have gone in the "display groups" settings and tried all options. anybody else having this problem? BTW, so far i like the functionality of the starcontacts application.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed Handcent on my Droid and am having two problems. I checked the settings and can't figure out why these things aren't working properly.
1. The pictures from my contact list do not show up next to the texts. Every one of my contacts has a silhouette and question mark in place of the picture - which shows up fine in the default messaging app.
2. When a new text comes in, the new text notification pops up on the taskbar. I do not receive a handcent notification icon, and if I open the text with Handcent, the default message notification does not disappear.
Inside my app, I was wondering if it was possible to make a certain URL in a WebView, when clicked, to redirect to a new activity view outside of the WebView?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a tab Activity with 5 tabs with intents.the classes are used to load data from internet source.I need to show display progress bar while clicking each tab until it completes the data loading. or how to show a progress bar for a finite time after clicking the tab.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI try to show a ProgressDialog at the beginning of my application from an Activity. I debug the application and in theory the dialog is created because it prints a line from onCreateDialog... method.
For more test, I try to show a toast with:
Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "test", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
And nothing is showed.
If is useful, the application is a widget.
I want to show many listviews in one activity. Something like
Textview Listview TextView Listview ..........
Every listview has different type of adapter. For this, I made the activity class like:-

I started two days ago with android, gone through the hello android stuff and also started to read the Hello Android book, which is great.
PROBLEM:
I use in my app - VERY EASY APP- the XML output. So basically the main activity just tells the android to show the XML layout of main.
But what if I have in the activity - code defined integer variable and I want this integer variable also be shown on the display?
How do I PUSH the integer variable to the XML??? From main XML reference to other strings in XML is easy - @string/app_name ... but how do I use the integer variable from the activity?
I have a service that downloads something from the Internet, it shows progress in notifications and in MyActivity (only when MyActivity is on foreground of course). How should the service post the progress to MyActivity? I know this could be done somehow with IBind but can I just simply do this in MyActivity:
MySevice.myActivity = this; startService(new Intent(....));
From MyService I can now call MyActivity's methods because I have a static reference to it in MySevice.myActivity, so I can call e.g. myActivity.sendProgress(63).
In my Android application, I have two activity classes. I have a button on the first one and I want to show the second when it is clicked, but I get an error.
Here are the classes:

The second class that should show when the button is clicked, but never does:

How do I create a button that will show the second activity?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm writing an android application which listens the phone calling events. What I want to do is, if there is a call incomes or outgoes, an activity shows with my customized info.I want to this screen keeps showing during the calling period. However, if a call is coming, the system UI which shows the contact always appears on top of my activity.I've found some apps already realized this function, but mine can't.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to show a simple toast, when exiting an application. The problem is, that the toast is not shown. I assume it is because the acitivity is finished or because of System.exit(0), but I don't know how to solve it. Does anyone have a tip?
In my activity I have the following code...
I'm experiencing kind of strange behavior of my application after hard Home button is pressed. When you press Home, everything is OK - my app goes to the background, showing Home screen. But if you try to choose my app in the main menu or in the list of last tasks it behaves like it was not started before and does not show the last activity you were on - it just starts from scratch, namely, shows the splash screen and starts next corresponding activities. Moreover, old activities of this app remain on the activities stack, and previous instance of the app is not terminated - so if you press Back for a few times you'll just run into those activities which were undoubtedly started during the previous session of work with my app. Splash screen activity is filtered by "android.intent.action.MAIN" filter and "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" category. The strange thing is that all of that happens despite the fact that I do not intercept any Back key hits, or override any onPause or onResume methods. What's happening contradicts with my understanding of Android app lifecycle - I was sure that when you hit Home an app just goes to the background, and when you choose it in the menu later - it just unwinds and does not start anew. (Of course, unless stuff like that is stated in the app manifest or corresponding methods are overridden or something else). I also checked it for some other lifecycle events - such as changing orientation or flipping hard keyboard out - and none of those led to such strange results. It appears that the problem occurs when you try to start the app from main menu or menu of last applications.

CODE:.......................
My question is what do I need to do to ensure there is no resource leak? From the logcat, i see there is a case where it said a window is leaking or something like that.
I just got a Bell Vibrant and unlocked it to use on AT&T. Everything's been working fine, but I do have a minor problem.
When I am in SMS messaging, most of my conversations have contact names on them, but on a few, it shows only the number. The number is clearly the number listed on the contact in my contact list, but the messaging app(stock) doesnt seem to recognize it. This is weird, because in the LauncherPro Messaging widget, it shows the names correctly, but when I go into the SMS messaging app, it doesnt recognize the contact.
Can we show the dialog when our application/activity startup?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 activities, A and B. When A starts, it checks for a condition and if true, it calls startActivityForResult() to start B. B only takes text input so it makes sense for the soft keyboard to automatically pop up when B start. When the activity starts, the EditText already has focus and it ready for input. The problem is that the keyboard never shows up, even with windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" set in the manifest under the <activity> tag for B. I also tried with the value set to stateVisible. Since it doesn't show up automatically, I have to tap the EditText to make it show.
