View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy does app not get onDestroy when exited but then receives an onCreate when relaunched?
Here is the trace. Launched app
It received onCreate and the other expected on calls for a launch. Now, leave application with the home button and it receives onSaveInstanceState onPause onStop
And returns to the main Android screen (the one with Google Search at the top) Launch the app again and it receives onCreate onStart onResume
The docs say onCreate is Called when the activity is first created. But here it is never destroyed but created again. There are many objects that never got GCed because the app was not onDestroyed?
Is this a memory leak? What have I missed? Or should I assume that onCreate can be recalled for an already created app.
I am a newbie to Android Development, and facing this particular problem while changing Tab Background Image. As you can see in the attached Image, there is a thin gray line. And I am unable to figure out where is it coming from. Can you please assist me in removing it. I have checked there is no padding anywhere, and android:layout_width="wrap_content" and android:layout_height="wrap_content".

I don't get this Gmail app. It doesn't seem to sync properly with my Gmail account. First off, sometimes the main screen will show "Inbox (1)" or whatever number to indicate I have email, but there are no emails when I tap "Inbox" (but there *are* emails on the website, so they are really in my inbox). This may also be related to the label syncing options. I have them all set to "sync all" because I assume this means it will keep everything synced no matter how old it is, and if you specify a number of days, then it just syncs as far back as that many days. But this seems to cause a problem too, in that sometimes I have email on the website, but the phone isn't detecting it.
Finally, both times I've tried to send an email, it won't work. The email ends up as "sending" in the Outbox, but never gets sent. And yes there is a data connection. I see no reason why it shouldn't send immediately. I didn't expect the Gmail app, of all things, to be so problematic on an Android phone!
once I check a message, the app still says I have a message until I reply. Is there a way to fix that? I do have handcent but I still prefer the htc message app.

I am asking about the development of an Android application that must work in backgroup (so no user interface).
Usually my application extend to the activity class that manage all the application process.
Maybe i can avoid any setContentView() that won't display anything but i don't want any icon .

Is this possible in Android, anybody having suggestions plz welcome. There is provision of Notification Manager for icon, but it is not reacting to user events. Is there any other way to this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got an app with tabs and a notification bar entry, when I send it to background (click on home button) and try to re-open the application via click on the notification bar, the app restarts (last selected tab is lost).
When I hold the home button if the application is in the background and select it from there or click the app's icon on the homescreen, the previous state is restored per default (the correct tab is selected)
IMO the intent of the notification is wrong, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
In short: How to get a background application back to foreground when I click the notification entry?
I have run into an requirement of my application that i cant find a way to do this.
I need my application to be fullscreen and no title bar (done), and this application will have a background image. However, all the activities/views of my application must be transparent/translucent so the application background will be visible all the time behind the information i am displaying.
Basically i would like to have this behavior

supousing that the image you see is not the phone wallpaper, but the application background image. What would be the application configuration in the manifest file and what would be the configuration for eacy activity/view?
I also noticed that, i need to setup each activity to be fullscreen without title bar. Is there a way to do this globaly in the application so all activities will behave this way?

I used broadcast reciever..
CODE:.................
I have an application which requires a login at the beginning (this is the first activity). When the user logs in, I keep his credentials in the application (I extended android.application to add a field called 'key'). I would like to clear this field from memory (from application instance) an go back to the login activity.
I see the following possibilities: - Add a broadcast receiver to catch all possible event (call, click on menu, click on back, lock the phone ...) which clear the key field and launch the login activity - Use clearTaskOnLaunch for all activities except the login activity. But then until my application takes the focus again the key stays in the application object. (It seems it doesn't work with the go back button, maybe I need to use no history also) - Detect for each activity in all onPause or onStop events when application will leave the foreground to clear the key field and launch the login activity
The best would be to have a kind of OnPause method at application level but I think it doesn't exist.
I am trying in one of my application when i am going to start i mean power on my google android g1 my application automatically will start but i am unable to understand how can.
