Android :: Way To Prevent Duplicate Activity?
Nov 30, 2009
I have an Activity which is launched from a Service. This Activity can spawn other children Activities. Now under certain conditions (particularly related to using screen lock), I can end up with the Service starting a second copy of the Activity again. For reasons of performance, the Service is being started and stopped at various times, and cannot be relied on to hold state. What is the best way to prevent this second launch? Can I (for example) detect that the Activity is already running in the stack and do finish()?

I would like to know if there is a way of preventing a duplicate launch of browser/activity, while the user is already focused on it.mybe there is a way to detect before if the user's current screen is already focused on the same activity/browser i intent to launch?

I have purchased several apps through the Google market. Updating to Froyo required a system reset for me so the apps had to be reinstalled from the market. My google checkout and login ID are the same but Google charged me again for the apps and they showed up on my CC. Tried to resolve through google but gave up in frustration trying to find some way to dispute or rectify the situation. I disputed the charge through my CC but I have a feeling that is going to cause more trouble. Surely there is some way this is SUPPOSED to work and a planned way to rectify easily when it does not.

I'm working on an app that launches the browser activity to perform a Twitter OAuth authorization. This process uses a callback url which will re-launch the activity that started the browser activity in the first place.My problem is that the browser pages remain in the history stack and when the user then clicks back from the preferences activity that launched the browser in the first place, they don't go back to the app's main activity, but instead are brought back to the browser. I've tried adding flags to the launching intent to prevent history and reset on clear, but it doesn't seem to work when running on my phone, only on the emulators.

I am currently showing a notification. When the user clicks this noticiation, the application is started. The notification persists, to indicate that the service is running in the background.
CODE:..............
However, I have detected a case where a bug appears. If the user starts the application through clicking the normal icon, and while the activity is running clicks the notification, then a new activity is started without the earlier one exiting, the later being on top of the earlier. And that is not all: Further clicks on the notification will create additional activities and place them on top of those already running. How can I prevent this? Is there a nice check to do to see if a certain activity is currently being shown or is loaded?

My MainActivity (the one that is started by the android application) is a TabActivity which contains several tabs (which are implemented as activities as well). In a certain tab/activity I want to prevent the change of orientation/rotation when the phone is turned. What is the easiest way to achieve this?

Application (non-wanted) behavior - application is started, some text is put into text-box and notification is created through button action. user "clicks" the home button, application is "minimized", notification is available in bar user selects the notification and the application is "maximized"
BUT - instead of the original instance, new instance is started (e.g. in the newest instance is missing the original text; when the latest instance is closed there is still the original instance with original text ) .
The code of the notification method
CODE:.....
I have also in the manifest xml file following tag android:launchMode="singleTask"
But it is still the same...The main problem is double/triple initialization of the application, i know that there are other means to preserve the values in resumed applications. Also it is needed that the applications stays running in background as the main functionality is the streaming of internet radio.
What is missing in the code ? What kind of information from my side is missing for to troubleshoot the issue ?

If I have a button that starts an activity, and the activity sometimes takes a second or two to throw up its own view, how can I most simply and reliably protect against the button being clicked multiple times and kicking off multiple (identical) activities?

1. User click one button on Activity#1 to start Activity#2.
2. One button on Activity#2 start system default browser(Intent.ACTION_VIEW) to get Twitter authorized.
3. After user allow, Twitter redirect user to Activity#2(Custom intent- filter+data) and it save the tokens.
Now, if I press back key, the app back to browser, how to prevent this and return to Activity#1? Try several Intent.Flag before start browser with no luck.

I added an intent filter to one of my activities, so that when a user clicks a URL like "www.mysite.com", and if my app is installed, my registered activity can be launched. It works well.
I see that this creates a new instance of my registered activity though, every time a link is clicked. Is there any way to prevent multiple instances from being created - just recycle an existing instance if one already exists?

I have an Activity with a list that is bound to a ListAdapter reading data into a ArrayList from a database. All is well when the data is first loaded. While the Activity is open and the list is being displayed it is possible and likely that the data in the database will be updated by a service but the list does not reflect the changes because the ArrayList does not know about the changes. If the Activity is no longer in the foreground as would be the case if the user goes to the home screen and then is brought back to the foreground I would like for the Activity to not display what it did prior but rather reload the data using the ListAdapter the view is bound to. I think something needs to call finish() but I am not sure what.
This is what I have in the Activity.

I have a widget that contains 4 buttons to show 4 stock prices, each of them will launch into the same activity Quote.class to show stock details. In onUpdate(), it will set up the pendingIntent with extras with stock symbol. After I hit button A, it goes to Quote activity that shows stock A. Then I hit the BACK button to the homescreen, Quote activity calls onDestroy() and when I hit button B, stock B will show properly. However, when i hit HOME button after it shows stock A, the Quote activity only calls onStop without calling onDestroy(), then as i hit button B, it will call onStart() and it shows the same instance that shows stock A.
CODE:............
Originally I thought adding a flag in the Intent should solve this problem. But I have tried
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY), none of them makes any difference.
So is there any ways to make it work? How can i remove the history stack from HOME button? How can I call onCreate in Quote activity and get new extras when i hit button B?

Not the corp calendar, the regular one. I have a band I go listen to, and I want to enter their schedule in my calendar. Generally the same times and locations, so it would be cool if I could just copy an event to a new date and use all the stuff I already entered. Or make changes to any detail if I need to. This would also be useful for irregular meetings of any type. It is NOT a recurring event.

I have one specific text message that I sent to a buddy of mine last week that gets re-sent to him every time I reboot my phone (Incredible). It's always the same message and it always shows in the messaging app as the last message sent to him, but it only shows once. The previous occurrences do not show. Seems as though it is not getting a confirmation that the message was sent, so it retries it on a reboot. But my friend gets every one. I have uninstalled Handcent and it still happens with stock messaging app.Anyone know a way to clear pending/unconfirmed SMS's?

I'm on HTC tattoo, and my contacts are duplicated on the people application. This is strange, as they all say phone contacts (thus aren't sim or google contacts or anything), but on view settings, it says I have 300 or so contacts which is how many I have if they were NOT duplicated. I have tried restarting my phone. For some reason, it shows fine then when it loads fully, the duplicates are back. I also noticed that only contacts synced with Facebook seemed to be duplicated, though not all synced are duplicated. I have attempted deleting one of two of a same contact, but this resulted in the other entry being deleted too.

I am getting duplicate contact entries in most apps. I look in my contacts list, and there aint no duplicates at all. Nor are there any on my Gmail account. But when I go into chompsms, or handcent, or even ringdroid, it shows up multiples of the same contacts. Any way to fix this?

I changed my database schema on my application to include an additional column in one of the tables. I did this in the onUpgrade method in the DBHelper.
Then I tried exporting my signed application and reinstalling it using the 'adb install -r <app>.apk' command to try and 'simulate' an application upgrade, but onUpgrade never gets called.
Is there a command that I can use to try and duplicate the behavior of an application upgrade?

I have an array of words. When the activity launches it displays a word, and then when you click the screen, it displays another random word from the array. I was able to get this far (with some help) but I'm a little stuck. When you click the screen to display a new word, how can I make sure the word hasn't been displayed from the array already. Here is what I have so far. code...

I got my Desire on the weekend, everything going well but I have a little problem.
I have added Gmail as may Mail program and it all works fine from the Desire but when i log into Gmail via the web on my PC I have duplicate emails for any I sent via the phone. I checked with a few people and they didn't actually receive 2 emails so now I am a bit confused as to why I get 2 in my inbox. I have a feeling it might be to do with Imap but if anyone has sorted this out?

Is anyone else getting what appears to be duplicate update notifications in the market?This has been happening to me for the last 2 days for Astro File Manager, and Panda Home.I have the latest versions installed.Yet the market tells me there's an update available.When I look at the version number of the update, it's the same as what I have and when I install it, the version numbers wind up being the same.Is this really an issue, or are the authors really throwing new apk's up there with the same version number? Or is there some 'minor' version number they're updating that isn't visible to me, and there really are small tweaks in the update?Curious if anyone has seen multiple updates for these in the last few days, and whether anyone knows what's really going on.

I think this is a Handcent issue because I'm not really seeing it in the default app. For some reason I get multiple numbers for a contact when sending a SMS- the same number! I have one contact that when I select to send an SMS to, I get 7 options to choose to send to, and guess what, all 7 are the same phone number. And its not a format issue, it still duplicates if the number has brackets over the area code or just dashes. Not sure what to do and when I go into the individual contact (using People) the number is only listed once.

I have Gmail set up on my Nexus One (personal email). I also have Microsoft exchange setup (work email) and both work fine. The problem is that under my contacts there are duplicate entries both for Gmail and Microsoft exchange. That is causing some problems with my SMS app (duplicate contacts) and wanted to see how I could avoid syncing Microsoft exchange and delete it from my contact but still keep it on my phone. I have already unchecked the box to not sync my contacts but did that after adding it.

For my application, I am trying to add entries without having a duplicate entry, and if there are a duplicate notify the user and have him try again. Using SQLite, which I know very very little about, I have tried these two ways and want to know which one is better, more efficient or a better way to develop it? First way:
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + DatabaseHelper.DATABASE_TABLE +
"(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, RATING) SELECT " + latitude + ", " + longitude + ", " + rating +
" WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM " + DatabaseHelper.DATABASE_TABLE +
" WHERE LATITUDE = " + latitude + " AND LONGITUDE = " + longitude + ")");
Second way:
long id = -1;
try { id = db.compileStatement(
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM " + DatabaseHelper.DATABASE_TABLE
+ " WHERE LATITUDE = " + latitude
+ " AND LONGITUDE = " + longitude)
.simpleQueryForLong();
} catch (NullPointerException e) { return -1;
} return id;
The first way, either inserts or ignores the values, I check by doing so, storing the row-count of the rows into a variable before the call, call that function, and then check its results. If the results is not higher than it was before the call, the insert was made ignored, prompt the user with the 'values exist' message. (Very sloppy, I know but desperate times calls for desperate measures). The second way, returns the actual count of rows that match the numbers I want to store, if the number returned greater than 1, prompt the user with the 'values exist' message. I have been going back and forth, trying different ways but I do not know how to set up SQLite to have UNIQUE pairs, which I was told would be the easiest.
