Android :: Unable To Launch An Activity Using Implicit Intent Specifying Only Action
Mar 5, 2010
I am trying to launch an activity by specifying only its action(custom) defined in its intent filter from an activity in other application. The activity to be launched is the main activity of its application thus have android.intent.action.MAIN & android.intent.category.LAUNCHER set as action and category in its intent filter. Now according to android doc on Intent and Intent Filter, i do not need to specify DEFAULT category at all in this case. But doing the same i am i am unable to launch the activity.
LogCat says, Activity could not be found...
Am i misinterpreting the text or is there something else missing...?
Code, used for calling the activity
CODE:.............
Definition of Activity being called in the manifest file
COE:....................

I couldnt figure out the exact understanding of implicit intents.
When i was going through the tutorial i read about it.
Here are some important points to remember: 1 - Implicit Intents do not specify a target component 2 - Components willing to receive implicit intents have to declare their ability to handle a specific intent by declaring intent filters 3 - A component can declare any number of Intent Filters 4 - There can be more than one component that declares the same Intent Filters and hence can respond to the same implicit intent. In that case the user is presented both the component options and he can choose which one he wants to continue with 5- You can set priorities for the intent filters to ensure the order of responses.
I read this about Implicit Intents.
I couldnt get visualisation of 4th point. So wanted to try it out by writing some examples.
I tested this like below. Wrote two apps.
I had written two activities in one app, CallingActivity & anotherActivity.
CODE:...........
One more app,which has two activities like below.
CODE:..................
I ran the first app in emulator and pressed home screen, it mean it runs in the background.(Not exited ) Then i opened the second app and clicked a button in frirst activity(testmain) and tried to call setAction "com.android.localguide.GET_RESULT"
i.setAction("com.android.localguide.GET_RESULT");
But it is opening the activity "results".. It dint showed a options to choose which components( i expected first app ) activity i need to use ?
Am i right in executing in the right context to understand that point no 4 ?

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.

what is intent action name(e.g. action name "android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" for launching camera appl) to launch the native map appl Is there intent available(documented or undocumented since above intent of capturing image is undocumented ) for launching maps appl?
I know one for launching maps for driving direction "this.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps? f=d&saddr=37.4,-121.9"+ "&daddr=Bellevue, WA&hl=en")));" but this goes to driving direction page of maps appl.
is there any way to launch maps appl which will open maps home page?

I'm trying to figure out how to launch an activity in my app from a custom URI such as myapp://myuriactivity I've read a lot about the intent and intent filters in the android references and also read several examples, but for some reason I can't get my simple test to work. Below is my manifest file, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? With the below file, if I open the browser and try to navigate to http://org.test.launchtest it just says the page doesn't exist. Shouldn't this work?

The first activity in my app needs to load a small amount of data from a text file. Two strings and an integer. Once I load the data, I want to use one of the strings to create an intent, that will launch the next activity.

I want to specifically run the default Android browser for a given URL. I'm using this code: I also tried adding <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.browser" /> to the manifest. Am I missing something here? PS: I'm not interested in using startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"))) as it will list all the choices for the browsing Intent.

I`m trying to develop an application, just to test the ability of android to call an activity with an intent based not in the specific class name but specifying the action, category and data information. Acording to this link
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html
only three aspects are consulted when comparing an intent object to select the future activity to run. I created two android projects (and two activities), the first is the main project who sends the request and the second can be called directly or through the filter. This is the call of the activity in the main project:
CODE:..................
This is the part of the manifest that specifies (or at least I try to specify) in the secondary activity that it`s available to be selected to run with that information:
CODE:...............
I installed both separatelly and I was expecteing to see the second activity after the called but instead I got an ActivityNotFoundException. By the way if I comment the t3.addCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_HOME); line and change the t3.setAction (Intent.ACTION_EDIT); to t3.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); the browser is executed so I think the problem is in the manifest of the second activity.

I am having a problem in running Android unit test. I got this error when I tried to run a simple test.
Here's the log:
CODE:.........................
This error occurs for Android less than 2.2. It works fine for Android 2.2 emulator. Yet Android 2.2 emulator has a bug of sending a key twice even though we only press it one. Application to be tested runs on Android 2.2 platform.

I am trying the MapDemo application, but I am unable to launch the activity, it is showing following error message : [2010-06-14 12:11:49 - TryMaps] Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY [2010-06-14 12:11:49 - TryMaps] Please check logcat output for more details. [2010-06-14 12:11:49 - TryMaps] Launch canceled!
I have gone through the previous thread on this error, And I have already tried following suggestion : 1. Add maps.jar with Google API 2. and also mention the <uses-library> attribute in manifest file.
But still I am unable to launch the activity, in logcat it is showing that package <package name> requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps ; Ignoring.

I'm trying to get an application / reciever / anything that can perform a task once every minute. I'm trying to use the intent-filter "android.intent.action.TIME_TICK" which, in theory, sends an Intent message every minute.
Does anyone have any code that uses the android.intent.action.TIME_TICK intent? I can't seem to get it to send the intent to my application and I can't find anything much on the internet. Has anyone used it successfully?
I have a manifest.xml as below.

When creating an intent with action send to send some data, is there a way to filter the results that are included in the activity chooser that is created using Intent.createChooser? I have not seen a way to do this other than setting the mime type, but it is not flexible enough.
For example, there is a situation when I want e-mail apps to be the only results in the activity chooser dialog. Setting the type to "text/ html" successfully filters this down to email apps, except when bluetooth is enabled. Bluetooth appears in the list as well, but this is not desirable. Surely there is a way to have a little more control over the results?

I've got a receiver set up in my android application to catch android.intent.action.NOTIFICATION_REMOVE intents. On my Evo, it works fine - when a notification is cleared from the notification bar, I catch that event and can run some code. I tried running this on a Samsung Moment though, and it is never caught. So now I'm trying to figure out why, and I can't seem to find anything on Google about this intent action - and I set this code up a few months ago, so I don't remember where I even found this action, it doesn't seem to be in the API.
The evo is running 2.2, and the moment is running 2.1-update1, so I'm guessing that it's undocumented, and only available in 2.2. Is there any other way to catch an event that a notification has been cleared? Note that I'm not trying to cancel a notification that I put up, or trying to cancel another app's notification, just catch an event when a notification has been cleared.
Here's my receiver in AndroidManafest.xml:

I want to receive Intent "android.intent.action.SEND" in a Service. Is it possilbe to register for this Intent via registerReceiver() and get the Intent in Broadcast receiver in the Service?
Or is there any restrictions that "android.intent.action.SEND" can only be registered via Manifest.xml of an Activity and not in a Service?

I'm trying to catch an action like ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG. But I think it might be too much to set this action on the manifest file.
How could I register a listener for this action? I only need to care about it when my application is running not all the time as I think it would happen when registering it under the manifest file...

I am trying to take picture by G1 camera.
I have tried almost everything i was able to find on the net about this topic. It seams there should be intent with action "android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" which really starts camera application and returns captured image. But captured image is scaled to 0.25 of original size. Another possibility I have found is to pass uri where to save captured image. I went through all available sources of camera application and it should work but does not.
For illustration, I am doing following in my example activity which creates new image, but after returning from camera, image is still empty:
CODE:..................
I am ready to write my own capturing application, but it is quite hard and I would like to reuse.
Do you know correct intent action name and extra name to pass to capture image?

I got one question regarding the intent action "ACTION_CALL". What is the correct way of getting back to the own application/activity after the user ends the call? The only way that came to my mind uses a PhoneStateListener in a background services that waits for the CALL_STATE_IDLE event starting up the application again. But I am not quite sure if that is the correct/intended way of using the intent.

I have a Service defined in the manifest with an intent filter that refuses to match when specified as a String resource but works when the literal action is entered in the manifest. Is there any reason I should not be able to use a String resource with an action in an intent filter?

I am customizing native phonebook application as a third party application which can be launched by the same intent as the native application. I have installed that application in my G1 phone. When I have clicked on Contacts icon in launcher menu it a menu pops out and asks me to select which app to lauch i.e., native contacts or my customized contact application. I have selected my application and I have also selected to use this selection as my default choice. After that system never put a pop-up and whenever I clicked on contacts it launches my customized application.
Now my problem is, I do not know how do I change this setting i.e., tell the phone to put the pop-up again so that I can select native app or my app?
Does anyone has any idea?
