View 2 RepliesI want to write an application to List the Gmail message. In the list, if user click one of the message item, it shall link out Gmail App to see more detail information. Currently I can read the Gmail db with Gmail.java. There are some problems while I want to open Gmail Activity. In general, we can open Activity with Action and parameters. But Gmail App has not release code base. We do not know what Action set to Gmail Activity and what parameter shall we put the extras. I only know that the Activity of View detail Message is named "HtmlConversationActivity." And the Package is under "com.google.android.gm.

However, I am getting an unexpected result. When I receieve an SMS, the appropriate dialog activity comes up displaying the correct phone number and message, however there is a second activity behind it that is the 'default' activity in my program (it is what opens when i launch my application)
I do not want this second activity to come up. The quick reply activity should come up by itself over top of whatever the user was doing before.
The 'floating' activity:

I currently have a tab layout with 2 tabs, one tab with a list view and one with the option make strings so I can add them in the list view. Both tabs have their own activity because this made the code much more structured, and I dont have to repeat my self later.
Lets say im in the tab that offer me to create an string, and i press the update list button, how do I update the list view without startActivity()? If i use startActivity(), it starts List.java, and instead of displaying the list in the list view tab, it takes full screen, which defies the purpose of the tab view. In other words, the startActivity() steals the focus from the tab view of the list, and sends it fulscreen.
I want to update the activity in my list view tab, without starting a new activity that goes to fullscreen, and doesnt update the one in the tab.
I want to show my next activity withing my previous activity layout "LinearLyout". But it is not working. Can any one help? I put my last activity layout reference to a global class in an static variable. My code...

I am working on developing an app and I am not sure when should I use a new activity and when should I update the existing view.
For example, lets say I have a view that shows a multiple choice question.Now, when the user selects his choices and clicks on say "Evaluate", I want to show the same question view but along with the right answers and explanations for each option. So does that mean, I should send an Intent upon a click on Evaluate or I should just update the view (i am not sure how)?
If I send an intent and show a new screen, how can the user go back to the next question without displaying the answers? If I don't create an new activity, how can I update the existing view that is already displayed?
I am trying to create a list view where each item will open up a new view and display a picture and text describing the item when said item is selected. I am working with this tutorial novice-tutorials-f8/opening-windows-i-e-webbrowser-reacting-on-clicks- t22.html?hilit=reacting%20on%20Clicks
so is there a way i can use this code to open up a new view
[code]@Override protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id){ super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
// Get the item that was clicked Object o = this.getListAdapter().getItem(position); String keyword = o.toString();
// Create an VIEW intent Intent myIntent = null; // The intent will open our anddev.org-board and search for the keyword clicked. myIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse ("" + keyword + "")); // Start the activity startActivity(myIntent);}
I want to open other apk from my activity. is there any way similar to new Intent(...)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI understand how to use intents and startActivity() when opening another activity within my own app, but how do you start a different app? specifically:
- How do you determine if the user has the needed app installed on their device?
- How do you start that app?
- How do you pass parameters to that app?
- How do you find all this info out for a specific app (say Adobe reader, or google maps)?
Wondering if anyone knows the most optimized way to handle opening an URL in android. Here is how I am doing it:
String tempUrl = helper.getUrl(tempString);
Intent i = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse("http://"+tempUrl));
startActivity(i);
Must you start a new activity in order to open a URL?

I have an Activity that was created based on the TriangleRenderer example. It works flawlessly as a standalone project, but when I use it as the tab of a tabhost there is a problem. At startup the whole activity is just black - I can get touch events and do everything else but it doesnt show anything. When I change the orientation (and therefore recreate the activity) it all works well. Maybe the problem comes from the View focus. My SurfaceView is not focused when created inside of the tabhost. I tried to fiddle around with the methods available in my onCreate() and onPostCreate(), but couldnt find a way to get the SurfaceView focused. The following sourcecode blocks in the guardedRun() method because needToWait() is true because !mHasFocus is true. If I exclude the ! mHasFocus, it goes on but shows a black View anyways. Do you have any idea why it does work after orientation change, but not at the first startup? The Activity looks quite simple.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have activities A and B. The A is the one with LAUNCHER intent-filter (i.e. the activity that is started when we click the app icon on home screen). A launches B using start Activity(new Intent(A.this, B.class)). When the user has the B activity open, and then put my application into the background, and later my application's process is killed, when the user starts my application again, B is opened instead of A. This caused a force close in my app, because A is the activity that initializes the resources my app needs, and when B tried to access the uninitialized resources, B crashes.

Is it possible to configure an android app so that if a user has opened your app, launched numerous activities, then returns to the home screen and relaunches your app again, instead of going to the main activity they will instead be taken to the activity highest on the stack (the most recent activity in your app)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been experimenting with the IMM and it's mostly straightforward, but for some reason, my custom view that launches the soft keyboard works only in portrait mode. Launching it is easy enough:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0);
I've seen a couple notes about the soft keyboard only working in portrait but I assume this was a limitation in a previous version, since all the Android EditText views work fine in both portrait and landscape. Is there some additional piece of work needed to enable landscape?

The update worked perfectly with no problems on my N1, but I'm getting emails from users telling me that the only way they can open my app is from their Downloads page in the Android Market app. I have no clue what could be causing this behavior.
