I am trying to create a Helper class to display Toasts in my android app, as follows.
CODE:................
My code is based on the example at: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html
My problem is, when I try to inflate the view, I can't call findViewById without the View from the activity I am calling toastAlert in. Is there a way I can access that view?
I have a background service component which is reacting to changes in network connectivity. I would like to alert the user that a a connectivity change event has occurred by popping up a Toast View on the device screen. Is this possible ? Can it be done even though a Service component does not have a UI associated with it ?

My question is, do they ever offer promotions like the one going on with the Droid right now for buy 1 get 1 free for their new phones? My wife and I are both looking into them but if there is no chance of this we will probably just get the Motorola Droid buy 1 get 1 free deal while it's still there.

Does the incredible have the same noise cancelling that the nexus one has?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUnless I can get a conformation that it's in the 2-3 day stage and not the waiting stage I'm just canceling. I've been in the telecom business too long to see a disaster in the making. It's going to take more time for the phones to port numbers and ship than that window would allow.
View 20 Replies View RelatedOne thing the Incredible doesn't have that the Nexus One does is the fancy noise cancellation technology. I'm a little surprised at how little this is being mentioned and I'm also puzzled at why this feature was dropped since on paper it sounds like such a good thing. Does anyone have experience with how well it worked? Did it not work out as well as planned, was it a cost saving measure to drop it, or does nobody actually talk directly into their phone anymore?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI missed something, but is there a way I can cancel autosuggestions when typing? Examples:
So this example happened to me frequently before 2.2, but I haven't been able to reproduce it now. I'm trying to search for "wifi" in google, so I type "wifi". The first autosuggestion is "wifi android n router", because that's one of my past searches. "wifi" alone is NOT a suggestion. If I hit enter it'll search for the whole phrase. I don't see any way to get just what I typed to be submitted to the search. I press the little down arrow in the suggestions box, but all that comes up is a bunch of other searches, urls, but nothing that says just "wifi".
Another example, today I was doing one of those captcha things. I type in the nonsense letters in the picture, and Android suggests similar words. This time, the nonsense word was on the list. But if I click it, bam, it adds to my dictionary. If I don't, there's no way to get out of autosuggest -- I tried hiding the keyboard (without hitting enter), but that changed my typing to the first suggestion.
I don't know how many of you have actually tested the limits of the background cancelling mics on the DX, but I have. I was prompted to test it while speaking to a client while walking my dog the other day.. as a lawn worker passed me with a leaf blower, I apologized to my client for the noise. "His response, with leaf blower right next to me, was, "Noise? You aren't sitting at your desk? I don't hear anything but your voice."
So ok... wow. Now my working from home butt is unleashed from the desk which is ... AWESOME!
So I decided to test the limits... I called my voicemail while standing in a packed bar a couple nights ago. Thumping music, people all around laughing and shouting, crazy scene. The result? At the beginning, before I spoke, you can faintly hear the music... then... nothing but my voice. It's the most amazing thing I've ever heard (or, I guess, not heard).
Anyhow.. I think Motorola should be advertising this! I can see the commercial now... business dude on a golf course while boss calls and doesn't know... man in a bar and wife can't tell (remember the old Capitan Morgan ad?)
I have a service running in the background.I have a background thread that gets a reference to the service from the application's main activity. But when the background thread calls a method in the service to display a toast, I get the "Looper not initialized exception".Why,if I have a valid, bound reference to a Service, does this still happen?

I am not able to find any alternative also.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a alarm thing going on in my app and it launches a notification that then when pressed launched an activity.The problem is that when I create more than one alarm then the activity launched from the notification gets the same extras as the first one. I think the problem is either with the intent i put in the pending intent or in the pending intent itself. I think I might need to put a flag on one of these but I dont know which one.The "details" extra is the same to every the next time a notification happens instead of having the different value.Until I set the intents I am sure that the correct value goes to the "details" so its a problem of getting the first intent everytime i press any notification. How can I make it to launch the correct intents?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to access pending notification or the previous notification that my application created?When I use Notification manager and use its setLatestEventInfo() method the last notification (with same intent) is updated. This is exactly what I want but when I update the notification, I want to access the existing notification's intent and get the key/value paris (Extras) and use that information to update the notification. For example in an SMS notification, I want to to get the current message (key/value pair or message itself) and update that with the new value. ( For giving the number of notifications, I can use the Notification.number, but that I want to access more values). One workaround that I am thinking is to put the data of first notification in database or in preference and access it when the second notification comes. But this is not exactly what I want, it is easier to use the existing notification instead of storing in database or preferences. Related Question: What do you suggest I use, Database or Preferences? Is there a best practise in terms of performance and elegance?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to create some home screen app widgets that are entry points into an application. I can put a button in the app widget that uses setOnClickPendingIntent to start the activity. The problem occurs when I want to have two of these app widgets that are entry points to different parts of the activity. I need to be able to pass data into the activity that will distinguish these. Since both app widgets use a Pending Intent that starts the same activity, the two Pending Intents are shared and I can't reliably set extras for the corresponding intents.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way for the sender of a Notification to know when that Notification is delivered to the receiver? i.e. Some method that can check if a the user has clicked on a given Notification.What I'm trying to accomplish is this: Have my Service send a notification with a PendingIntent to start ActivityA. But if the user starts ActivityA without clicking on the Notification, I would like the service to cancel the Notification and send a direct Intent to ActivityA
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my app, user starts a service and shows a notification from activity A. The notification creates a Pending Intent that will invoke activity A should the user tap on it. The problem with this behavior is that, if the user starts the service (which shows the notification), drags down the notification bar, then taps the notification, I now have two activity A's in the display stack, one on top of the other and both exactly the same. How can I re-use the original activity A in this situation so the user isn't duplicating activities?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI created a widget that when clicked activates a PendingIntent.The problem is when I have more than one widget on the screen only the latest one will start the PendingIntent.I have read some about a unique request code, but not figured this out.Any ideas how I can have multiple widgets and the PendingIntents work for each?
View 1 Replies View Relatedin order to save some battery, I was wondering what happens if an activity registers a requestLocationUpdates and then the user (or the os) puts it in background or kills it. Will the location manger still be active and then will the pending intent still be fired? In other words, will the location manager still be alive even if its lancher does not exist anymore? I'd really love this scenario because allows me to link an intent service that handles the location updates without bothering of have something always running waiting for good news from location.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Widget I am working on, that allows the user to have more then one instance of the widget on his screen. Each Widget ID maintains its own configuration file. However, for some odd reason my code that is responsible for setting up the buttons individually for each widget id is not working, only the first widget id is linked to each individual widget. Below is the code that is responsible.
private void TieClicks(Context context){

PendingIntent editPendingIntent= null;
// Intent updateintent = new Intent(context,SyncNoteWidget.class);
// updateintent.setAction(SyncNote_Action_Widget_Update);
// PendingIntent pendingupdateintent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, updateintent, 0);
// rViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgettextview , pendingupdateintent);
// AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
int[] ids = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(new ComponentName(context, SyncNoteWidget.class));
for (int i =0;i< ids.length;i=i+1){
int wId = ids[i];
rViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),R.layout.widget);
editPendingIntent = makeControlPendingIntentActivity(context, wId);
Log.v("syncnote", "tieing " + String.valueOf(wId));
rViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgeteditbutton, editPendingIntent);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(wId, rViews);
editPendingIntent= null;
} }
private PendingIntent makeControlPendingIntentActivity(Context context,int appWidgetId) {
Intent active = new Intent(context, EditNote.class);

I have this annoying "voicemail pending" in my notification bar that will not go away. When I pull down the notification bar it says "Voicemail Pending. Tap ehere to call Voicemail. Sat, July 24, 2010." I tap it, it calls my voicemail, but it says I have no voicemail. The notification doesn't go away. Is there a way to "force" this notification to go away?

View 8 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have a background service that performs several tasks. As it completes task A, it posts notification A with a certain intent and some extra data that indicates viewing result of A. As it completes task B, it posts notification B with a certain intent and some extra data that indicates viewing result of B. As it completes task C, it posts notification C with a certain intent and some extra data that indicates viewing result of C. At the end, the notification area has three notifications. Each one has the same intent, except for one of the extra data fields. I would expect that each one would load my activity with different extra data. They don't. When onNewIntent is called, each has the extra data field set to C. I have rooted out any possible aliasing and checked the data as it is placed into a notification. It seems to allow only one set of data per package. Is what I am attempting not possible? Has anyone accomplished what I am attempting? For example, have you had a service download several large files, and then had notifications that would open each of those. Code...
