I created application with name Test, and has a class that extends broadcastreceiver that listen for PACKAGE_RESTARTED. I use Advanced Task Killer, and killed the Test application. But when I kill another application, for example gmail, the Test's broadcastreceiver got the intent (I logged it). Does it means that broadcastreceiver will never died?

I'm writing an Android JUnit test and want to copy/reset a test fixture file (it's an SQLite database file.) If I were within the main application, I know I could just place the file in the assets directory and use getResources().getAssets().open(sourceFile).However, this API appears to be unavailable from the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 class.Is there an easy way to copy a file over from the testing PC, or should I just keep a fresh copy of a test fixture on the device and copy it over a temporary file?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a project (that compiles and runs in the emulator.) I have a test project that tests part of this project. This test project also compiles with no problems, but when I try to run (test) it in the emulator, I get a NoClassDefFoundError exception on one of the classes my test class tests (I hope that made sense!) when it starts to run in the emulator. This is coming out of the adb log. I looked in the bin directory (of the test project) for the missing class, but could not find it... Should it be there? I found no reference (apk, etc) of the project I am trying to test either in the test projects bin directory. How does the test project get the classes it needs to test against (in the classpath, I assume.) How do the tested classes get moved to the emulator? I did try running the app before testing, so I know it is installed and runs correctly. BTW, I am using netbeans with the nbandroid plugin.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application with many forms implemented as separate activities. The form variables are dynamically built based on a database, and there are a ton of variables in the C++ side of the application (accessed via JNI). I don't see how saving out all of this data to persistent storage each time the onPause() or the onSaveInstanceState() of one of these many activities goes into the background is a smart use of processor time. And I don't see how even if I save the local variables for each activity during that time I'd be able to restore a single activity within the context of all the others.
I have set up a service that auto saves the files when I detect that the app has gone into the background. (I set a time stamp when onPause() is called in any activity and then clear the time stamp when onResume() is called on any other activity. If the time elapsed is more than a few seconds, I know I'm not the top activity any longer and the service saves the files).
What I'd like to do is continue on as normal unless the OS kills one of my activities. Since we don't always get notified of this, I thought it would be nice if there were a way to tell the OS that I'd rather you kill the whole app than just one activity.
On Froyo, we found that some new "Task Manager" apps are now using the ActivityManager.killBackgroundProcesses() to kill apps. When this happens, Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED is no longer fired. How can I find out that my application has been killed? I tried to start a service, and I do see this message printed in logcat:
W/ActivityManager( 2426): Scheduling restart of crashed service com.example.android.apis/.app.RemoteService in 20000ms
However, the service is never restarted as advertised, if the app is killed using the killBackgroundProcesses API. (If I go into adb shell and kill the service process, the service will indeed be restarted ...) This looks like a bug anyway, because the notification created by the app is no longer removed like in eclair (the StatusBarService, and a bunch of other system services, depend on the Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED broadcast).
I can see on OMAP zoom2 platform, the moment screen timeout happens my application is getting terminated. I have a Google map based LBS application which is running on Zoom. I have implemented the interfaces given in gps.h to libhardware_legacy/gps.cpp .
GPS application talks to android framework and Framework talks to libhardware to get the GPS info. Now I can see that the moment screen timeout happens and the display goes off, my application killed. Actually from the framework the stop interface (hgps_stop() ) gets called on screen timeout.
I am wondring why this is happening, as I am not sending any stop request form my GPS application to the libhardware.
Is it something related to Android power manager, that android Power manager does not know about my application is running?

View 3 Replies View RelatedCurrently my application is configured to always receive the CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED action to force an update if the previous update failed because there was no connectivity. What I don't like about this is that the broadcast receiver gets to be called too many times although it is not needed. I was thinking to register my broadcast receiver only if an update failed using the Context.registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter filter) method. But I'm not so sure if this is a good idea. I'm concerned that if my application is evicted from memory the broadcast receiver will be unregistered or lost and my application will not be notified about the future CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED actions. The update is done in a short lived service. So if the update fails, the service will register the broadcast receiver just before it ends its execution time. Can somebody explain what happens to my broadcast receiver after the application is evicted from memory?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two BroadcastReceiver registered. When the app is closed they both fire at the appropriate times and do the appropriate things. If the app is closed then killed (say with an AppKiller), the receivers never receive their broadcasts, and nothing happens. Presumably the same thing happens if the parent app is killed due to low memory, so how do I ensure those broadcasts are fired/received. The API states that even if the app is killed it should fire, does anyone else have experience with this situation? If it helps my manifest is:
<!-- receivers for AlarmManager -->
<receiver android:exported="true" android:label="Shift roster updating calendar."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.UpdateCalendar" >
</receiver> <receiver android:exported="true" android:label="Shift roster checking alarm."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.SetWakeup" >
</receiver>
and nothing esoteric is going on in the AlarmManager/BroadcastReceivers
I will try to be as brief as possible... I have published a very simple android application it's name is "Vib-e-rator PRO". It's purpose is obvious, it can be used as a masssage vibrator or as an erotic stimulator...
My Problem is don't have an Android Phone to test my app in real time.
I have been recieving mixed comments from people. A few users say its working fine. But majority of them complained that the Phone would n quit vibrating even after the closing application.
Later i speculated that when ever the user switched off the vibrator and quit the app it would work as expected. If any user (most of em) directly closed the application ( either through the close option provided in the app itself or by pressing the END button in the phone ) without switching off the vibrator then it would not stop vibrating.
So i added myvib.Cancel() (myvib is the context for Phone Vibrator) in the exit block the close option provided in my app. For the other scenario, when it is closed by pressing the END button in phone, i have no idea how to solve it... So friends please advice me what is necessary to do... The comments i have been receiving from many users of my app is really embarassing....
Is there any sort of automated test similar to this (The W3C Markup Validation Service) that can perhaps mark how the usability a mobile application is or whether it is secure etc.
Or is the best way to just give my prototype to testers and receive feedback.
I am working on Gps based application which runs all the time in background. But in extreme low memory case(or when i open many apps) my app is killed by the android system. I want to relaunch my app when it is killed by android system.I goggle it for this but don't get any solution.Any help would be appreciated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to put a notification with an intent. My intent is basically action = DEFAULT and category = LAUNCHER in order to bring the activity that was launched into the front. When the app is not shown, there is no problem, the intent works perfectly and launches the last activity seen but when there is already an activity launched, on New Intent is not called (activity is in single eTop mode). I'm wondering how to relaunch the app from an intent to the last activity seen and call on New Intent when the activity is already launched.

My app offers a "share/tell-a-friend" function. When the "share" button is pressed the following method is being called to open a list of apps, which can perform the action (Eg. Gmail, Twittroid, Facebook...):

The sharing functionality works basically. But when the sharing app (Facebook, Twitter, ...) tries to return to my app, a force close is thrown.
I guess that my app gets closed in the background during the sharing process... at least that is what the debugger sais...
The problem seems to be that the app closes in the background. Also when I open the browser from my app an try to return to my app with the back key. A force close is thrown.

I was trying to open an Activity of an other applicatoin by using an implicit Intent. It doesn't work, I thought it is possible to start an Activity of an other Application by using implicit Intent. Or do I missunderstand it?
I added following intent-filter to the AndroidManifest of Application A:
CODE:..............
And called the Intent in Application B by using folloing code:
CODE:.............
All I get ist, the error message that Application A was stoped unexpectedly.
I am interested in activating another application's activity. I know from reading the Android SDK that it's probably better to do this with an implicit intent. However, this activity doesn't reside in an application I own, so I don't know the action and category and data flags on the intent-filter.
How can I examine an Android applications metadata like the activity classes and the intent-filters for those activities (if declared in the manifest)?
I'm working on a project where I need to run the BroadcastReceiver for a third party library for a specific Intent. I also want to run some of my own code when the Intent is broadcast. If I supply my own BroadcastReceiver for the same Intent, it seems that only, one or the other runs, but not both, depending on which appears first in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Is it possible to register multiple BroadcastReceivers for the same Intent in the same application and have them all run? AndroidManifest.xml snippet
