Android :: Show AlertDialog On Activity Start - But Not On Screen Orientation Change
Aug 13, 2010It seems when screen orientation changes, the activity's onCreate() method is called. In my onCreate() method, I have an AlertDialog which pops up when the activity is called. The problem is when I switch the screen sideways, the popup is displayed again. How can I avoid this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Orientation Change - Dialog Above Activity With Fixed Orientation
May 14, 2009I have created an activity for my game which handles all orientation changes by itself and has a fixed "portrait" layout. Actually it uses the accelerometer and is rendered using 2D canvas methods. If the level has been completed I show up a highscore dialog in which the user can enter his name. The dialog is floating above the underlying level screen which gets blurred out nicely. This generally works.
Problem is that the dialog does not get rotated if the orientation of the phone changes. So even if the keyboard is exposed the dialog is shown in portrait mode instead of landscape. I have tried to use an activity with dialog theme instead but the behavior didn't change. After several tries it seems that I have found the reason for this: Once there's an activity with fixed orientation in the activity stack then all subsequent activities keep this orientation, too. They will not react on orientation changes anymore (e.g. if the keyboard gets exposed).
After upgrading to 1.5 SDK the described behavior changed a little bit. Now at subactivities indead react on orientation changes like expected. However, the need to have an opaque background! That means that neither dialogs nor activities with dialog theme will work. Those will stick with the orientation of the underlaying activity. So my workaround is to first start a sub-activity with an opaque black background. This activity then shows my highscore dialog on top. It looks quite okay but I wonder if there's a better solution? Is it possible to show a dialog above a fixed portrait or landscape activity which automatically adapts to orientation changes?
Android :: How To Change AlertDialog's Background Color?

May 7, 2009Today I faced a very weird problem. In my game I create AlertDialog to show the user next level challenges when one is succeeded. So, the corresponding code is like this. when the game is succeeded showDialog(R.id.display_success) is called and the following code is executed.
So, I am expecting to execute this code in every call. However; the game is executing only once and showing the same AlertDialog in every other execution. I mean, like the instance is not created after the first one is created and the first instance is used all the time. code...
Android :: AlertDialog.Builder Vs Class To Extend AlertDialog - Application Size
Mar 12, 2010I am trying to figure out what is the best way to go about creating dialogs. I can either create my own Dialog class (which, to me, is more clean and organized), or I can use AlertDialog.Builder (which would be done inline, and funky looking)... What are the positivies and negatives of either implementation?

May 6, 2010My app creates and shows an AlertDialog which accepts input from the user (the user needs to type some text into an EditInput).
With the AlertDialog on screen, if the user opens up the keyboard on the device, then the app's OnCreate and OnResume methods are called and my AlertDialog promptly disappears from the screen ... not the effect I was hoping for!
I thought that perhaps I needed to override the Activity's onConfigurationChanged method, but despite having the following in my Manifest:

Android :: Change Intent Bundle Data Before Activity Recreated After Orientation Change
Jul 30, 2009I have a notification that starts my activity and passes a messages using the intent's putExtra() function. The message is then displayed to the user in the activity's onCreate function. When the application is restarted due to a orientation change, the message is shown again as it is still in the intent's bundled data.
How can I remove the extra data?
I tried the following:
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle.getBoolean("showMessage")) {
// ... show message that is in bundle.getString("message")
// remove message
bundle.remove("showMessage");
}
But the message will still be shown after the orientation changed, seems like the intent used is not the one I changed, but the original one. The only workaround I found is to save the showMessage additionally in onSaveInstanceState(). Is there another way? Or is this the way to go?

Android :: Possible Leak In Orientation Change
Jul 1, 2009My app *sometimes* when orientation change, leaks Activities (getInstanceCount() increases from time to time) and i cannot figure out where references to my Activity or rather Context are kept - tried to use jhat but it couldn't help me much.
what is strange: it doesn't always happen on orientation change, so its even harder to fix.
btw when doing normal app life cycle - start, do something, exit - everything is ok - getInstanceCount() always returns 1.
Android :: OnCreate And Orientation Change
Apr 28, 2010I have an activity that checks stuffs online when it's created (is the GPS on and if not it asks if the user wants to turn it on).
The problem I'm having is that it is also doing it everytime I change the orientation of the screen.
I've read some comments on onConfigurationChanged() but is there a better way to be sure I'm checking the GPS only when the activity is first created?

Android :: AppWidget Update On Orientation Change
Dec 29, 2009I am developing a photo frame widget, all works except on an orientation change to landscape mode my appwidget doesn't display correctly as I have it set to portrait dimensions and it is too large for the display. I would like to run some code to resize the image so that everything displays correctly and it uses all the space that I allot. What is the correct way to do this? I can think of 2 methods however both seem inefficient. The first would be to register a broadcast reciever to take orientation changes, however I don't want to redo my appwidget everytime the phone is turned on its side as the majority of the time the homescreen is not showing when the orientation is changed (ie other apps are used, and I don't need my code running in the background). I only need it to run when the home screen is shown. The second would be to setup a service to manage my appwidget but that also seems inefficient to be always running in the background.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Prevent Orientation Change At Runtime
Apr 15, 2010Well, preventing an orientation change is easy. But what about doing it at run time.
Say, I have an activity which supports orientation change in normal situations. It has say three Edit Texts.
There's also a button, which when clicked would do some processing in a thread while showing a ProgressDialog which is not cancellable.
Ok, so till the user hits the Button, I want the activity to be able to adapt the orientation changes. I have two layouts files for each orientation with different layout schemes.
What I want is this. Once the user clicks on the button, and the ProgressDialog is showing, I don't want the activity now to be re- created again when the orientation changes. So, before showing the ProgressDialog, is there any way to tell the Activity not to handle Orientation change?
Also, once the process is complete, and the ProgressDialog is removed, I want the Activity again to be able to handle orientation changes.
Android :: Threads And Screen Orientation Change
Aug 30, 2009In the following sequence of events:
1. Start a new thread (as a result of a button click - or similar).
2. User changes the screen orientation (causing the Activity that started the thread to be destroyed).
3. Thread finishes, and wants to do some dialog (or any UI) work. However, doing a showDialog, dismissDialog, ... will crash, as the thread it still referring to the old Activity.
This can be solved by updating the data in the thread to refer to the new Activity upon a screen orientation change.
However, couldn't the Android framework just forward any requests from a destroyed activity, to the newly created Activity, saving us developers of handling it ourselves?

Jun 17, 2009Is the view aware of the orientation change in order to return updated size after a change in orientation? I'm handling the orientation myself (android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"). Does it means that I have to take into account the orientation state when querying for view.getHeight()? The view returns the same value as before the orientation change. It this the normal behavior or I should "notify" somehow the view to "refresh" its size.
