Android :: Why Does StartActivity Work In One Method And Fail In Another
Aug 17, 2010
I'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.

In Android when I am adding a view object like ImageView to FrameLayout view and then immediately trying to call layout() method to repositioned the added view object it is not working. But when I call the layout method alone after some new event e.g. touch event then layout() seems to work. This also happens when bringToFront() and layout() is used together, layout() does not seems to work together with other method. Is there any reason why is this like this? Also instead of adding view object in the middle of the screen can it be ADDED at some specific location in FrameLayout?

In Eclipse, when I mouse hover over a built-in method, it displays a method definition including stuff like what the method does, input objects, return objects etc. If I have a yellow line (warning) under the method I'm trying to use, I can't get the mouse-over to show the definition. If I try hitting F3, I get a "The Jar of this class file belongs to container "Android 1.6" How do I show the definition of the method I am using when there is a warning?

My use case is to launch one of settings app screen when I receive a certain event in idle state. For which, I added my new intent to PhoneAppBroadcastReceiver() in PhoneApp.java (looks like this receiver handles the misc intents) But when i call startActivity(), The phone seems to go into a panic ex. startActivity(new Intent(this, NetworkSetting.class)); My questions are is this the right approach to go about ? If so 1. How can I launch the activity inside of broadcastReceiver? secondly 2. How do i verify if the activity i want to start is already started?Can the NEW_TASK_LAUNCH be used to verify this ,

According 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?

I have a Activity and I have a class which extends this Activity. In this subclass I call:
startActivity(new Intent(this, CameraView.class))
Which should start the "CameraView" Activity. However, I always get this error:
CODE:...........
If it makes any difference the subclass creates a ListView and when a row of the ListView is clicked it calls startActivity();

Is there any event triggered on an activity when I call startActivity("activity_id", myIntent);
If the Activity exists already. I pass a parameter to the activity via i.putExtra("someID", someSerializableObject ); and would like to call a method to refresh a WebView. Right now, the call on startActivity brings the activity in the foreground but the webview does not display what i want.

I meet an issue: my activity cannot return result.
I created an activity which has one TabHost. I added three tabs using mTabHost.addTab. Every tab will launch an activity(activity A, activity B, activity C). In activity A, it will call startActivityForResult to start activity A1. The issue is activity A cannot get any result after A1 finish.
What is the reason? How should I do if I want to get return value?

I 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?

I have implemented a ListView in my Android application.
I bind to this ListView using a custom subclass of the ArrayAdapter class. Inside the overridden ArrayAdapter.getView(...) method, I assign an OnClickListener. In the onClick(View v) method of the OnClickListener, I want to launch a new activity.
I get the exception:
Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?
How can I get the context that the ListView (the current Activity) is working under?

I have a problem about taskAffinity of Activity. Activities A and B with the same taskAffinity.
A starts B with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK and the B starts A with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK again. Dumpsys activity of system gives us task stack like below: TOP-> A B A
According to SDK's reference to FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, the result is supposed to be like below: TOP -> A B
If we did not set taskAffinity, A will not be created again but in different task stack from B. (A and B are in different Apps)
After a little more research, we found FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT is what we want.
My question is whether SDK' reference to FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK is wrong?

I have an Activity X which is only accessible after you've entered a valid credential.
How can I prevent other apps from calling startActivity with an Intent pointing to X?
e.g. Intent intent = new Intent( this, ActivityX.class );
startActivity( intent );
Basically I don't want Activity X to be exported to any apps except my app.

When ever we need to send an email in Android we will invoke registered email application using Intent.ACTION_SEND. like the below
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
My doubt is why do we need to use Intent.createChooser in startActivity rather than using
startActivty(i).
Is there any specific reason of using Intent.createChooser()?

I would like to display a an access dialog activity at the start of my application.
In other words, I would like to start another activity (in dialog theme) as soon as my Main Activity is loaded. But, I know that I can not start an activity while another is creating.
I tried to start this activity in the onResume() method : I can see the new activity called, but the Main activity do not respond after closing the new activity.
Is there a solution to do this, without using delayed intent ? May i use a special flag for my intent ? I did not find, in the activity cycle, a way to detect the end of activity loading.

I've got an app that creates an intent for the last.fm android app in which it will start the "recommended" station for my account when i press a button. The trick i'm trying to figure out is how do i get the phone back to my app without the user having to navigate back manually? Once it start the last.fm intent it takes you to the playlist and i need it to resume back to my app automatically.

MyService and MyClient are both running, although MyClient is currently in the background. If MyService sends an Intent to MyClient via:
CODE:..............
How do I get this Intent in MyClient? Running this code triggers onResume() in MyClient, but because it's already running, calling getIntent() returns the Intent that initially created MyClient, which is always android.intent.action.MAIN
