Android :: Whether To Start Stopped Activity Or Create New One?

Feb 18, 2010

Long story short, I have a LaunchActivity which is always called by LAUNCHER (i.e. the home screen). It then starts LoginActivity and then closes itself.This is the flow:
User launches app
LaunchActivity starts, starts
LoginActivity and then calls
finish() on itself (At this point
LoginActivity is the only Activity
on the stack)
User press "Home" button, stopping
LoginActivity
User launches the app again When the app is launched for the 2nd time, two things can happen:
LaunchActivity starts, finishes
itself and then STARTS LoginActivity
LaunchActivity starts, finishes
itself and then CREATES
LoginActivity, so there are now two
LoginActivitys on the stack.
(2) seems to happen when I restart Eclipse and the simulator (yeah I know, black magic). Some extra info: I'm not using any start flags and my manifest doesn't have any launchModes defined.

Android :: Start An Activity And Return Back To Original Activity

Jan 26, 2009

I have an application with contains multiple activities. The main activity will start the others ( use startActivity() ) depends on user event, when an activity close, it calls finish() and return back to main activity. It appears to behavior like that.

However, the "problem" I see is main activity's onCreate function is called every time. I think the the main activity should be placed in the activity stack and simply push to front when others exit, therefore only onResume, onStart are called. Is there some flag I need to set or I misunderstand the activity behaviro?

In child activity, besides calling finish() or startActivity for main activity, what is other way to move main activity to front?

Android :: Start Activity When Main Activity Is Running In Background

Jan 10, 2010

I created an application which enables the user to set whether he wants to receive notification while the application runs in background mode. If the notifications are enabled an activity should be started (the dialog should appear on the screen).

I tried to enabled it the following way:

CODE:...........

This is the method from main activity. When onPause() is executed isRunningInBackground is set true.
When I tried to debug it when the main application was running in the background the line

startActivity(intent) had no effect (the activity didn't appear).

Does anyone know how to midify the logic in order to start an activity from the main activity when the main activity is running in the background (after onPause() is called)?

Android :: Start An Activity In Different Apk Using StartActivity - Using The Activity Name Or Similar

Apr 20, 2010

I have tried to write an Android application with an activity that should be launched from a different application. It is not a content provider, just an app with a gui that should not be listed among the installed applications. I have tried the code examples here and it seems to be quite easy to launch existing providers and so on, but I fail to figure out how to just write a "hidden" app and launch it from a different one.

The basic use case is:

App A is a normal apk launchable from the application list.

App B is a different apk with known package and activity names, but is is not visible or launchable from the application list.

App A launches app B using the package and class names (or perhaps a URI constructed from these?).

I fail in the third step. Is it possible to do this?

Android :: Start Activity And Clear Activity History

Apr 22, 2010

I have a huge maze of activities in my application. What I need to do, is that when the user logs in into the system, the activity history should be cleared. I cant just use finish() when I start a new activity, because I want the activities to have a history until the user logs in. I have experimentet with the different flags when starting an activity, but I have had no success.

Android : TabWidget Activity Handling - Does It Create New Activity EveryTime?

Apr 27, 2010

When a TabWidget is using intents to designate the target Activity for each tab, is there any special handling of those Activities on the Activity Stack outside of the default operation? For Instance, if my app has tabs A, B, and C, and I click them in this order--A, B, A, C, A, B--how will the Activity stack change? My understanding of the default operation, if startActivity() is called each time on the intent, would have the Stack keep loading up new instances of the activities: A, AB, ABA, ABAC, ABACA, ABACAB It's hard to believe that's how it works though... Seems like it would be a waste of resources and could be endless. Can anyone tell me how this will actually work?

Create New Activity Or Update View Of Existing Activity?

Dec 24, 2012

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?

Android :: How To Start An Activity

Sep 15, 2010

I have created two classes: Example1 and Example2, which extends activity.

Example1 contains a UI of buttons, while Example2 contains UI of TextEdit.

I want to call Example2 when a button is clicked, so this code is in an onclick method

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("com.a.ui", "com.a.ui.Example2");
startActivity(i);

So I am able to get the UI of Example2 successfully.

What's an alternate way of calling intent?

Is there any alternate way to start an activity?

Android :: PopupWindow On Activity Start

Feb 21, 2010

I am trying to make a PopupWindow show straight away when an activity has started.

when calling public void showAtLocation (View parent, int gravity, int x, int y)

I get the exception ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2500): Caused by: android.view.WindowManager $BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running?

At the moment I am calling from onCreate, but when calling from onStart or onResume it still gives the same error.

The activity api says the activity is supposed to be running after onResume is called. Where is the best place to load up the PopupWindow if it needs to be done straight away?

At the moment It looks like Activity.onWindowFocusChanged() is the best place.

Oct 16, 2009

My application has a background process which continuously waits on a socket for receiving messages and it should be started only once and at the time of application starting.Thus i want to do that background job in a service.

The service should not be started from the activity ,it should be started at the application starting.

How can i define the service,which will be started at the time of application starting?

If at all the service is started from activity.The activity can be destroyed and restarted.when this happens the service also be restarted .
