View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on an application where I wish to have multiple screens (each of full display size) attached to each other horizontally, and switch between them by using the finger (swipe right / swipe left). The home screen does exactly what I want, but its implementation seems to be more complex than I thought. What would be your preferred way to achieve this functionality? Is there any Layout or View that I could reuse? More generally, it should work with the 1.5 SDK, so the gesture interface is not available.

There is a Home application in development/samples/Home --> I am not sure if it is the Home Screen code.
Launch of My Activity at startup with out using Action_boot_complete. Instead of displaying home screen for the first time I want to display my activity for device setup when device_provisioned == 0. How can I override the code that launches the home screen activity.

I'm trying to launch an activity when a home screen widget is pressed, such as a configuration activity for the widget.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am desperately trying to get my head wrapped around how to implement home screen widgets. Right now, I (finally) was able to get a button on my widget respond to a button press setting up an intent filter in the manifest.
However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to launch an activity when the button is pressed. Basically, here's the code i have...

I have a widget that when clicked opens an activity from same app as the widget. When the activity is closed/dismissed via a button, the user will see the full app window IF the app was previously open/in memory.

Intent i = new Intent(this,RateIt.class);
i.putExtra("com.sporadicsoftware.NetQ.movie_id",aMovie.title_id);

I'm writing program for Android (SDK 1.5). I would like to know how to add/register one of my program activities in "Home Screen -> Menu -> Add-> Shortcuts" (or on Hero "Home Screen -> Menu -> Add to Home-> Shortcut") so that user will be able to add it to his home screen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a TabActivity, and each Tab corresponds to its own Activity. In one of them, in the onCreate method, I use startActivityForResult to show a dialog (specifically, Bump's BumpAPI activity).
code:...............
The problem is that when the screen orientation changes, it tries to create the tab's activity again which makes another BumpAPI dialog, resulting in multiple stacked on top of each other. Do I have a hook into the started activity to cancel the previous one when the orientation changes?
A workaround seems to be to add a button that when clicked, starts the second activity, but that adds an unnecessary step.
Also, I can't fix the screen orientation for the entire tabActivity because some of them require typing and users may want to use their physical keyboards.
I used Toast to make notification, but it seems it will appear even its activity is not in the current screen and some other activity has been started.I want to check this situation, when the activity is not the current one, I'd not send the Toast notification. But how to do ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone been successful showing a notification, starting an activity, or loading the home screen *during* a call on the Droid? All three of these actions can be done with the emulator running 2.0, but will not run from the Droid. I don't receive any type of notification that these actions fail on the Droid. Although, every action works when a call is *not* active. Missed calls during a call *do* show up in the notification bar, so I am hoping there is a way.
I understand that the notification bar can not be accessed by users during calls, but it would be nice if a notification could at least be delivered. I also understand the security and usability concerns of displaying a window or action during phone calls. Although, there are a lot of users who would like actionable functionality based on calls.
I want to click a button and then hide the activity GUI. That is, GUI is needed and you can hide it by clicking a "Hide App" button. How can i implement this "Hide App"?

The problem is that I applied a style to all my activities, therefore I can't simply set the theme to @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a tabbed view with one Activity per tab, and when I switch from the first tab, which has a TextView, to the second tab, which only shows a clickable list, the soft keyboard is still there. I want it to go away.
I tried this:
CODE:.............
But this does not work, because there is no relevant view to provide, as there is no View on the screen that takes keyboard input.
I am trying to solve an issue sort of similar to what was done here (link text)Except in my case where Activity A, started Activity B, started Activity C, when the user resumes the app after pressing the home button - I want C, the last Activity, to be displayed. Instead what is happening is I am back to A.Also on a side note I have discovered that even when I exit the application, if I hold down the Home button, my app is still listed as an active app even though in the LogCat I can see that it exited OK.Also, in case it matters, I did recently add android:launchMode ="singleTask" in order to make some notification logic work correctly. I was seeing the Home button behavior before that though.
Activity B actually has several Activities that it chooses from (it has a list of Intents) to display based on input it receives but launches them all the same way as Activty A launched B. Once the first Activity is displayed the user swipe the screen to navigate to the left or right screen. When the user swipes left or right, the current activity puts info in its return Intent that Activity B uses to display the next Activity. Also since logic outside of the user's control could prompt a change in the screen displayed, each Activty calls finish on itself in onStop to avoid back-button issues.
I saw another thread related to this question, but did not find the answer that was useful to me. Is it possible when the user presses the Home button to be able to finish() my activity somewhere? I saw that people were having problems with using onStop(). Has anyone found a resolution to see if this is always called on Home being pressed?
