View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Onscreen Keypad Interactions
Apr 14, 2009I've seen with the onscreen keypad, the application does not seem to be notified that the OSK has been brought in front of it.I would like to be able to change the layout of my screen so that relevant information is visible when the keypad is brought to the fore.I have information onscreen that changes as the user types in a number.Also, the implementation of the OSK in landscape mode completely breaks the functionality of our application since the OSK takes over the complete screen. It would be much better for us if a 12-key numeric keyboard were available on one side of the screen and leave the other side available to the application. Can there be layout qualifiers such as we have with layout-land- keyshidden...such as layout-land-osk?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: What Is Best Way To Stop Activity And Alert User?
Sep 2, 2010I have an application that must create a database and if that fails, then no sense moving forward. I've built an AlertDialog and show() it but it never displays. The logic falls through and then barfs because of the missing database.What is the right/best way to throw up a message and halt the activity? The code below executes fine (meaning the show() occurs while debugging and it falls to the next line) but the UI never displays this alert.BTW I realize the throw might not be the most graceful but I'm not even getting that far so.

Nov 20, 2010How can I disable the keyguard when a broadcast receiver is activated by screen_on, so that when it occurs the user sees an activity that I have started behind it?(The activity is running already)I have been trying the following code from a broadcast receiver triggered by screen off.It doesn't seem to be working though as it is. When I turn the screen on, I still have to manually unlock the keyguard on the phone to reveal the activity behind it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Activity Is Displayed After User Unlocks The Screen
Mar 31, 2010I was wondering if anyone understood how to make your application be displayed when you unlock the screen. I have an application where the user turns on a Bluetooth device, it connects to the phone, and the user should be presented with a UI. Having them hunt for the app or using the notification menu is not a workable option (too much work and not the obvious behavior).
The problem is that:
When the screen is unlocked:
- you can popup the activity from the background service when Bluetooth connects to a device
- User is happy because the UI is right there
When the screen is locked:
- The application gets started but is destroyed
- User unlocks the phone and nothing is there but the homescreen
One work around would be to disable the keyguard when the application gets woken up but the nuclear option is a pretty bad option. I know the standard Android assumption is that you shouldn't do this. In the normal case this behavior is fine, but in this case I explicitly did something I want the phone to respond without adding more work for the user to do. As per Google's guidelines if you don't like this behavior there can be an option for you to turn this off or you can not use the application.
A few more details, so after looking at this a bit more the problem isn't necessarily that you can't have an activity running when the screen is locked, unlock and expect it to be waiting. That does work if you do something like the following: lock your device run an app through Eclipse while the phone is locked/off unlock and it will be waiting for you.
But in the case the Activity is already running and I'm brining up a new window (which happens to be a transparent one, saying you're connected and asking what they want to do).
The problem is that it gets killed
CODE:..................
The setup here is as follows:
MyBackgroundService is a serivce that handles Bluetooth state (waits for connections, turns on Bluetooth if the user starts the app, etc.). It triggers a popup BackgroundPOPUP activity that runs a ViewFlipper.
MyBackgroundService starts BackgroundPOPUP through an intent.
BackgroundPOPUP is an activity with a Translucent theme (Theme.Translucent to be precise), it shows a ViewFlipper with some instructions and presents some options.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid : How To Allow User To Remove An Activity Form Launcher?
Nov 22, 2009I am creating an alternative keyboard. In order to help users understand how to set up the IME after it is installed I have added a simple Main Activity that appears in the Application Launcher with set up and usage instructions. I also have a preferences Activity and I want the user to have an option to hide or show the setup instructions Activity if they don't want to see it any more. My question is how best I can do this? I am assuming if it is possible it would require overriding the IntentFilter for the setup instruction Activity. I have experimented with this and read through the Intents and IntentFilter documentation but I can't see how to do this.

Feb 19, 2010I understand that trying to capture home button clicks is a hack, but I need to atleast close my current activity when the user clicks on home button. Is there anyway I can tell the system to close this activity is the user clicks on home button? If so how can I do that?

Aug 4, 2010My MAIN activity is spawning a child activity that contains a ListView. While this ListView is being populated (through an AsyncTask), an indeterminate progress bar is shown.However, assuming that I am an impatient user and I press the BACK button, the progress bar is cancelled but I am left with a blank screen. I have to press BACK one more time to go back to the MAIN activity.I would like the app to go back directly to the MAIN activity by pressing BACK only once. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I am thinking I should call finish() somewhere but I don't know where to put it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Prevent Activity From Saving State When User Selects Back Button
May 2, 2010I 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.

Android :: Block SMS App
May 28, 2010Recently some jackholes have started spamming me texts with horoscope/dating/whatever ads. They send like 4 at a time about twice a day and I'm sick of it.
I saw a few market apps that claim to block sms/calls. Reviews on all were mixed good & bad. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with any or had a suggestion for an app to stop this madness.
Also curious if anyone knows how they actually block. Basically I want to know if I just don't get a notification, or it just doesn't show in messaging app/handcent, or if it really gets blocked - as in not actually sent to me and does not charge me for a text.
If all they do is stop the notification I can just use settings profiles for that. But I'd really like to not have them be charged to me. I am on a 250/month plan and might risk going over at the rate they're being sent.
