View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Opening Browser Activity / Prevent It From Being In Activity History
Aug 12, 2010I'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 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Force Browser Activity To Close After Passing Control
Sep 21, 2009So I read through the SDK docs and I thought that calling a new activity(browser) as part of a task (myTask) will mean that activity* (browser) will close when a user closes the task (myTask) But I am left with a browser window.
Here is my scenario (in sudo code);
CODE:..........
Question 1: What is the cleanest way to ensure that when a user closes my app, any outside activities called will be closed to.
Question 2: Does a callback URl start a new Task, or use one in the stack if available?
Android :: Prevent Saving Browser Pages In Activity Stack History?
Oct 27, 20101. User click one button on Activity#1 to start Activity#2.
2. One button on Activity#2 start system default browser(Intent.ACTION_VIEW) to get Twitter authorized.
3. After user allow, Twitter redirect user to Activity#2(Custom intent- filter+data) and it save the tokens.
Now, if I press back key, the app back to browser, how to prevent this and return to Activity#1? Try several Intent.Flag before start browser with no luck.

On previous non android phones, it had the task list showing on the home screen.

Sep 9, 2010I am currently using Gtasks and I like being able to add a task that will allow an audible alert but lately for some reason the program has been buggy and its starting to frustrate me. I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that will do something similar All I want something that has a widget so I can see upcoming events or tasks and it must also be able to alert me audibly - the built in calendar on my Captivate is terrible. A calendar type app would be fine as well. I saw this in the market Pure Calendar Widget - anyone out there that can recommend this app? I would appreciate any info on an app I should try.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Activities And Tasks ?
Jul 3, 2009I had a question regarding this concept. Suppose i have an application that defines a task. This task has some activities that belong to another Android application. The Dev guide says, that to maintain a uniform user experience, Android will maintain such 'distributed' activities as part of the same 'task' even if they belong to different applications.
I refer to it from here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html
Some lines later, the Dev guide says and i quote: * * *"**Suppose, for instance, that the current task has four activities in its stack — three under the current activity. The user presses the HOME key, goes to the application launcher, and selects a new application (actually, a new task). The current task goes into the background and the root activity for the new task is displayed. The current task goes into the background and the root activity for the new task is displayed. Then, after a short period, the user goes back to the home screen and again selects the previous application (the previous task). That task, with all four activities in the stack, comes forward. When the user presses the BACK key, the screen does not display the activity the user just left (the root activity of the previous task). Rather, the activity on the top of the stack is removed and the previous activity in the same task is displayed."*
I think "three under the current activity" should be "four under the same task".
I think this paragraph i quote above has nothing to do with activities distributed across applications..and belonging to the same task. This para is maybe talking about two applications, that share a common application launcher and each application has defined its own tasks (stack of activities).
The user is simply toggling from one application to another, thus demonstrating that all activities (of a task) move together. However, the "three under the current activity" phrase is confusing me.
Android :: Easy Way To Switch Between Tasks?
Aug 19, 2010New to Motorola droid. I was wondering if there is a shortcut to show you what apps/tasks you have running, and allows you to easily switch between them? Currently, I just hit the home button to get out of one app/task and then switch to the screen with the app I want, and click on the app/task. I imagine there is an easier way via a key or shortcut that will pop up my open apps and allow me to choose which one to go to. I figure with all the talk of the droid being a multitasker, I figure there would be an easy way to switch between tasks.

Android :: Astrid Tasks 3.0 Warning
Aug 3, 2010WARNING: Back up your Astrid 2 before doing the Astrid 3 upgrade!I just updated to Astrid 3.0 ("Update Available"). Silly me, I didn't read the notes other than to see that Astrid 3 was "all new". My tasks vaporized! The I tried to "restore" and it said I had to buy an add-on pack to do that. No indication of whether the restore in V3 is compatible with saved tasklists from V2. The experience left me cold. I uninstalled Astrid 3 and reverted to V2 via the link http://bit.ly/oldastrid. Then I restored from the saved list on my SD card from the scheduled backup that Astrid did last night. I still lost some tasks I entered today.

View 12 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Perform Several Tasks Synchronously?
Sep 24, 2010I don't know how to elegantly solve the following task:
I have several blocks of code (operation) to execute. Each block can return true of false to indicate that further execution is possible. Inside of each block I have to use asyncronous methods calls (Because Android is completeley asynchronous).
Example of processing operations (not working now as expected):
CODE:.......
The problem is that inside of the operation I need, for example, display AlertDialog and wait for the input. But after I call dialog.show() my method execute finishes and it returns incorrect result.
Example of the button listener, registerd with AlertDialog is below:
CODE:..........
How should I modify processing of operations to support asynchronous model of Android?
Android :: Executing 2 Async Tasks
Dec 21, 2009In the documentation, I read that it is not possible for executing 2 Async Tasks. If execute is called again, it should throw an exception.
The following is given under the heading of "Threading Rules", and i quote:
"The task can be executed only once (an exception will be thrown if a second execution is attempted.)"
I wish to understand the meaning of this statement.
Does this mean, that if i try and execute the same task twice (concurrently) when the first execution of the task was still going on...an exception will be thrown ? Will i need to wait for the completion of the first task, before i spawn a second task ?
A possible use case:
The user wishes to download a set of files. He clicks on the download button by providing the URL. When the first download is still going on, he wishes to download another file and provides another URL. Both these user actions are serviced by a DownloadTask, that extends the AysncTask.
If i wish to change this default behavior, is there a configuration option?
Android : Why Use Service For Background Tasks?
Nov 2, 2010An activity can use AsyncTask or Handler framework for background work. Both will continue to work even after user has moved away from the activity that started them and the onDestroy for the activity has been called. In other words, an activity is fully capable of doing background work even after its GUI has been shutdown.In this scenario, use of Service for background work seems like redundancy. What does Service bring to the table that an activity can not do?
