Android :: Way To Pass Bundle To Activity Set As Singletask?
Apr 22, 2010So I have a MapActivity that runs an asynchtask that occasionally updates what exactly it's displaying on the map (via a string). I originally pass this string in from the intent when the activity is first created. And then if you click on one of the drawables on the map, it opens a new activity, which can then create a new mapview (same class) with a different string setting. The problem I have is that I only want one instance of the mapview to be running at once. Thus I set android:launchmode="singletask" in the manifest. This works in that it brings the mapactivity to the front, but is there any way to send it a new intent bundle to get a new setting for the string it needs? I tried regetting the extras from the bundle, but it seems to retain the old bundle, not the new intent that was passed to it. I'm not sure I want to do startActivityForResult because the 2nd activity may or may not want to update the original activity. I hope that made sense. I can post code if necessary, but I think that should explain my situation.

Jan 13, 2010Is it possible to use bundle and save the data in OnPause() lifecycle method? The scenario is i have 2 edit text and have entered some data i want to retain the data when the activity is killed and started again. his can be achieved using onSaveInstanceState() but as documentation says, this method is not a lifecycle method and hence the callback is not guaranteed. So i wanted to know if there is a way to save it using Bundle in onPause().
View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Persist A Bundle?
Jul 27, 2009I'm well aware of onSaveInstanceState(Bundle b) and the corresponding onCreate and onRestore. What I want to do is persist the bundle somewhere simple where I'll only ever have one at a time. The functionality is to be able to resume a game from its previously stored state - not to be confused with restoring the activity during its lifecycle. I want to restore it AFTER it's been destroyed (think of turning the phone on and having a button on the game that says, "resume last game". My thoughts are that if I can just persist the bundle that I normally use for the instance state, then I should be able to reload it later upon user request. I don't want to use a provider because they seem way too over the top for what I'm doing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Way To Serialize A Bundle?
Apr 8, 2010I'd like to serialize a Bundle object, but can't seem to find a simple way of doing it. Using Parcel doesn't seem like an option, since I want to store the serialized data to file. Any ideas on ways to do this? The reason I want this is to save and restore the state of my activity, also when it's killed by the user. I already create a Bundle with the state I want to save in onSaveInstanceState. But android only keeps this Bundle when the activity is killed by the SYSTEM. When the user kills the activity, I need to store it myself. Hence I'd like to serialize and store it to file. Of course, if you have any other way of accomplishing the same thing, I'd be thankful for that too.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: StartActivity And ActivityNotFoundException
Jun 29, 2009According to the doc, if the intent in startActivity(intent) is not found, there will be an exception raised. Therefore I use a try/catch block. However, even if I use a random string as the intent, the promised exception does not occur.Instead I see a dialog that says: "No application can perform this function". I also get the same dialog if the intent is valid (picked up by an app) but apparently doesn't want to act when the extras are not what the app expects (e.g. my earlier question about Intent.ACTION_SEND and mime types). I am using the 1.5_r2 SDK on an AVD running 1.5, with the app running at version 1.1 (sdk=2). Is this a doc error, a bug or am I misunderstanding something? Can I simply delete the try/catch block?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst Android App And Null Bundle Object
Oct 29, 2012I've gone through the Notepad Tutorials and they are all working on my virtual device. I am now stuck in the midst of trying to write my own Android app.
My setup:
Windows 7 SP 1 64-bit
Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2
Android Development Tools 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534
Android Virtual Device Platform 2.3.3, API Level 10, CPU/ABI ARM (armeabi)
The app is about as simple as they come - you enter a number, it divides it by another number and displays the result.Here is the code involved:
AndroidManifest.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.android.driving"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
[code]...
By the time DrivingTimeEstimator's onCreate() method gets executed, the Bundle object (savedInstanceState) is null (which I'm guessing is what leads to mMiles being null, which throws a NullPointerException and kills everything).

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Should StartActivity Always Run Started Activities OnCreate?
Aug 10, 2010I have a main activity and a sub activity.The main activity starts the sub activity using startActivity, and passes an object in the intent.The sub activity reads the object out of the intent in its onCreate action.The sub activity updates the object, then returns to the main activity using startActivity, again passing the updated object back.However, the main activities onCreate function is not called, so the code it contains to read the passed object does not run.Further investigation indicated that the main activity onPause event is firing, i.e. it is only paused when the sub activity runs, so when the sub activity starts the main activity again, it just on Resumes.Does anyone know if there would be any disadvantages if I moved my data restore/store activities to the onResume and onPause events?I'm not using the onCreate saved Instance State, should I be?

Android :: Why Does StartActivity Work In One Method And Fail In Another
Aug 17, 2010I'm struggling to understand why startActivity runs properly when copied from a tutorial I found and fails when I make the smallest change.
Code from the tutorial:
CODE:........
That works. When I try to change it to what I would consider a simpler design, I am getting an error.
CODE:........
The error is: The constructor Intent(FirstTwoApps.ButtonHandler, Class) is undefined
Notice that all I did was moved the action from the handleButtonClick() method to the onClick() method. Apparently that is not allowed, but I don't understand why.
