Is there any way to catch crashes in my own android app? Something like a global uncaught exception handler? Just wondering if I could install something like that, then if an uncaught exception is thrown, I could pop up a dialog for the user and ask if they want to mail a dump of the exception to me.

I'm trying to understand remote services at the moment and everything works fine, i can start the service and know how to communicate with it through the AIDL-interface. My problem is that the service seems to still run in the same process like the activity it was started from, because the activity crashes too, if there is an error thrown in the Service.
I set the service process to remote ( android:process=":remote" ) so what am i doing wrong? Or what do i have to do to unbind the service-process completely from the activity-process?
I want to clear catch memory when I close my application in Android. A code example would be helpful.

Doing something like this, but can't get notification.Reference said :
public static final String ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED

A need this intent to set uninstall password. Any suggestions?
I have an Android project that contains a class that uses JNI to pull a value from a C function. The C function was built into a library using NDK. The value returned from the C function is in turn used to initialize a variable inside a class when its first loaded. This works fine. However, I also want it to work when the library is missing by providing a default value. So Im using something like this..
Despite the catch, Im still getting a UnsatisfiedLinkError when I try to run this code with the library missing. Why am I not catching the exception? What am I doing wrong?
I'm making an Javascript web app and I can't for the life of me get the touchstart event to fire. I get the touchmove and touchend events no problem. This is a problem because as I see it the best way to distinguish between a tap and a scrolling motion is to zero a counter on the touchstart event, update it at touchmove and then compare it at touchend. I'm doing this so I can do some action at the end of tap but not a scroll. For instance, it would be very confusing if a page opened for an item in a listed after you finished scrolling down that list, but it would be nice to be able to tap on an item to open its page.
This is what I have..
I never see the touchstart alert. If I scroll the touchend will fire and app__touchMoving will have some sort of decent value. On a side note, I've noticed that sometimes the touchend will seem to fire multiple times.
Am I missing something basic here? Plenty of people say that this should work just fine on Android (and iPhone) yet the first listener never seems to fire.
Update: I should mention that I've been testing on a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.1.

Is it possible to write service that can catch any user's click on the touch screen and read text of the click no matter what application currently is active?

I'm having a problem where my app crashes on the Droid and seems to work fine on the G1. We have a G1 dev phone but do not have access to a Droid phone, so the issue is difficult to debug at this stage.
The app loads up the main screen okay, but once the user moves beyond the main screen, the app crashes. Moving beyond main screen initiates the following:
- GPS signal acquired - Accelerometer sensor listener active - Geomagnetic sensor listener active - Camera preview active
I have a suspicion that the issue may be related to the camera preview. With the G1, it didn't seem to matter how I set the camera preview size, so I just made it fit the size of the view.
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters(); parameters.setPreviewSize(w, h); //where w, h are the width and height.
One possibility is that with the Droid having a larger screen resolution to the G1, it may be setting the preview size to something that is not supported. I plan on addressing this, but I have a few questions that I was hoping someone could shed some light on.
1. If the app attempts to set a preview size that is not supported, will it just be ignored or will the app crash?
2. If the preview size is smaller than the surface that is holding the preview, will the image be stretched to fill the surface?
3. Can anyone think of anything else that may be related specifically to the Droid that could be causing me problems?
I am very new to android programming. i was following a guide in here, to create an application that shows the current location, i did as was told in the guide, but whenever i try to run it, it crashes, and asks for "force Close",

I have some WebView widgets inside my Activity. I use loadData() to set the content, and this html contains a link. Some of my WebViews work okay, when I click the link, the web browser is started in a new window, but some make my app crash when I click on a link.

My application is basically a image viewer. It is opened from both camera and as a separate application.
I open the image viewer to view and edit the picture. Each edit operation is implemented using thread. If my application closes due to pressing the home button, the next time I open it with camera. It throws anr.
This doesn't always happen. Only when large edit operations or edit operations on large image files are done.
I get out of memory error, sometimes timeout.
I guess it s because the thread doesn't complete the edit operation when home is clicked. and it s still running on the background. so when i open it s unable to process it.
m I right?
If so what is the way to stop a thread before the completion?
When I pause Pandora for more than a few minutes, the widget absolutely refuses to respond and I have to kill Pandora with a task killer (this is the sole reason I keep the tk around) and then I have to use the icon instead of the widget to restart it.
When it crashes, I have to hit the widget like 7 or 8 times to get it to open up full screen. Then I can hit the 'Like' or 'Dislike' button and they will turn blue for a second but no check appears and the play button does absolutely nothing till I go in and do the kill thing. If I try to just hit the icon before killing it, it opens up full screen does the exact same unresponsive thing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm writing an app dealing with JPEG pictures. The main Activity let the user slide between a set of pictures, but if these pictures are too large (imagine a set of pictures taken with a 12Mpix camera, not resized), the pre-loading of the second picture throws an OutOfMemoryException that leads to an immediate app VM shutdown whereas I surrounded my calls to BitmapFactory.decodeXXX() whit a try/ catch(Exception). So, the user gets an error message making him think the app is unstable, and the app didn't have any chance of telling him what really happened. How can I handle this a more "user friendly" way? Can I predict the memory size that will be necessary to load a compressed JPEG picture?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was in my jeep the other day when I heard a ad for some song and a itagging...That got me thinking. Now before the fanboy name calling starts, this is not a comparison to iPhone. I have never owned one, nor shall I ever. I think for the android based phone to compete more with the whole iphone market, I think we need to develop our own brand of iTagging, our own brand of iPhone docks, and our own version of iTunes. I understand that the iPhone has been out for a long time and has had the media market to back it up. Heres the thing. There are way more versions of android based phones that there will be of iPhones. I know that there are a lot of variations of the phones, but its nothing adapters cant fix for the docks. as for the itagging, and the itunes apps, its nothing a dev cant handle. I am not a Dev, nor am I a manufacturer, but Im sure some of us can find a friend of a friend who knows this guy that lives down the street to help out our cause...

View 2 Replies View RelatedA friend has been having a ton of trouble with her unrooted, stock 2.2 droid, and today it started boot looping. If she let it loop a few times eventually it would "catch" and start up, but it was a deteriorating situation.
Said friend asked me to root the phone for her and install a more stable ROM/kernel. I agreed, rooted it, and everything worked fine until I restarted it to see if the looping was fixed. It immediately started looping at the M symbol. I tried letting it loop a few times and also pulled the battery and let it sit for 15 minutes, but all this to no avail.
I've tried everything I can think of as far as software goes, including trying to restore to the backup I made, using clockwork to install LFY, and using the RSD Lite method to flash the phone. No matter what I try, it still loops at the M symbol.
All this makes me think that there's a hardware issue involved here. However, before I tell her the phone is shot, I figured I would see if anyone here had an idea.
I'm running Droid Eris on leaked 2.1v3 Over the last month or so I've noticed than when I open a text message while holding the phone in landscape the app crashes and has to be forced to close. Also sometimes I notices that the keyboard is a little laggy and the text doesn't show up on the screen until I minimize the keyboard.Has anyone else had these problems or know of a fix?Also on a side note how to I save pictures sent to me in mms to my media card?
I'm the proud owner of a month old Droid 2, but the damn thing keeps freezing or locks up completely when I play my music on it - sometimes it even restarts on its own. It doesn't matter if I'm playing my own MP3's or Pandora. While at work this happens maybe 3 to 5 times a day (docked to a desk/home charger from Verizon) and it's really frustrating. I noticed this started happening once my phone updated to 2.2.20 a few weeks ago. Just this past weekend I took it to my local Verizon dealer. They said they updated the PRL and this often corrects the problem. I got the phone home and it locked up immediately. I've restarted repeatedly, removed the SD card and battery but still no change. Any suggestions? This will be my fourth replacement if I need to take it back and have it replaced.
