I'm extending the CountDownTimer class to obtain some custom functionality .In onTick() in case some conditions are met I call cancel() , expecting that will be the end of it, however the onTick() callback gets call until the the count down is reached . So how to prevent this from happening ?

I wrote some code that mute the phone whenever an incoming call is received.
When the phone in vibrate mode I use the following code to stop the phone vibration:
Vibrator vib = (Vibrator) context.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
vib.cancel();
While it worked on my Nexus One with android 2.1, it seems that it doesn't stop the vibration on an HTC Desire handset with android 2.1.
Have someone encountered this issue?
Hours later and almost out of power (started out with 75%), I turned the phone off. The email I received had 29 attachments and was 1.9 MB in size, and it loaded fairly quickly. But when I tried to forward it, I gave up after letting it grind away for a few hours. Couldn't figure out how to cancel an out going email, so I turned the phone off, and back on again. That stopped it from forwarding and placed it in the out box. I guess upload speeds with 3G really do suck. I can't wait for 4G. Turning the phone on and off did not stop it from trying to forward. Need help trying to figure out how to stop an outgoing email.

I have gone through with the debugger and sure enough it is executing the method that starts the Timer.If I use a button to start the timer it works! What could I be doing wrong?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post ever -- I love the Android SDK (been at it for a week), but I did notice a small typo in the official documentation that needs correcting.
On this page within the example source code, the source says "CountdownTimer" on line 1 when it should say "CountDownTimer" (notice the capitalization of the letter "D"). An easy fix for one with programming experience, but the code as written will not compile, which could be confusing for someone using this code for the first time.
Is this where documentation bugs are submitted, and if not, where should I go to request the fix?
My activity has a simple menuItem that start a counter...the counter is stored in a field of the activity
the problem is with the "back button" after closing the activity (back button), the timer (as in my intention) continues, and restarting the activity behave correctly by reshowing the timer...but I lost the reference to the counter and so I cannot stop it.
Following there is a part of the code of the function:

I would like to put a cancel all option to my main activity so that i could cancel all the alarms created by my application. The usual method for canceling the alarm with the same intent doesnt really help cause i set tha alarms on a different activity than the one I want to cancel them in. So is there a way to cancel all the alarms created by my application?

I'm writing something like a reminder for users. Users will set reminders for their events, when the time comes, a repeating alarm will be set to trigger a status bar notification. But the alarm seems non-stop after I selected the notification or cleared the notification. I am not sure where to cancel this repeating alarm. Below are some of the codes...
How can I stop the alarm when the user selects the notification or clears it?
As far as I can tell, AsyncTask's cancel method doesn't work as advertised. I can't tell whether this is a bug, or me not understanding AsyncTask's cancel() method. I'm asking here instead of StackOverflow because I suspect it's a bug.
I understand from past discussions here that cancel() isn't meant to actually kill a thread (though the description of the mayInterruptIfRunning flag sure implies it is). But I'm also checking for isCancelled() (which is returning false), and trying to use the onCancelled callback (which isn't getting called), to no avail.
My situation is that I have a (short-running, one small network call) AsyncTask that begins in my Activity's onCreate. If the user backs out of the screen before it finishes though, I need to either cancel the AsyncTask entirely, or at least make sure its onPostExecute doesn't do any meaningful work.
In my activity's onDestroy handler, I call cancel() on the task, and then inside the task I have an onCancelled handler that sets a boolean. In my onPostExecute handler, I check isCancelled(), and I also check to see whether the boolean has been set from onCancelled, and neither are.
I'm using the debugger, and the order of operations is:
1) onDestroy(), calls task.cancel() 2) task's onPostExecute runs, isCancelled() returns false, so I have no conditional to stop the flow and that's it. onCancelled never runs.
What am I doing wrong here? I can't find any way to tell my task not to run its work in onPostExecute.
1) I have a Spinner with several options provided by an ArrayAdapter and have an onItemSelected listener on this Spinner. When selecting an item from the spinner, I want to display another view (list-view) but this method is unintentionally invoked upon initially displaying the view. The list-view is therefore displayed upon startup of the application. It is possible to add a spinner-on-item-select listener that won't fire upon initially displaying the view but only by the user selecting an item?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been reading through the docs, and I cannot figure out how to cancel a "drag" on a Seekbar once the bar has been completed.
For example, when I drag the bar to the end, I want an event to happen. However, if I keep my finger on the screen and drag my finger past the SeekBar, it keeps firing off that event even after I reset the progress of the Seekbar. How can I prevent this action from happening?

View 1 Replies View RelatedCause it doesn't.I have a service running an Asynctask to do some work. I bind to it from an activity and call a cancel method. The service, in turn, calls AsyncTask.cancel(true);
AyncTask.cancel returns true. Nonetheless, the thread is still running happily and still doing the things in doInBackGround, sending notifications along the way.
There is no sign that it attempted to kill the thread. I am not using NDK calls or anything that I think should stop if from taking down the thread. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a known issue?
I'm facing the same head-scratching moment similar to what this person (from Jan 2008) experienced when I realize that there is no cancel button in Android's progress dialog or spinners. It is now July 2009 and I've just installed the cupcake version of Android. Has this thing changed ? If not, are you adding a cancel button into the dialogs and how do you do it ?

The suer can now cancel the notification popup message by clicking outside the box. But how do I allow the user to cancel the dialog by touching on the dialog?
I have an extended dialog class that I want to show for 3 seconds then disappear.This works great the first 2 times it's called, but then it crashes my app after that.Admittedly, I'm not the best with threads and I think that's where my problem might be.As you can see from the code below (commented out section), I tried using a cancel event to kill the thread that is spawned, but that makes it crash the first time it's run. I've also tried doing all of this on the parent class' UI thread which yields the same result as this (crashes after 3 times displaying the dialog).

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my Android application user can fill database with imported data, then perform predefined, complex SQL query. With some data pattern, query will take very long (minutes and more on HTC Hero), while common usage will not exceed 10-15 seconds.

I'm using a datepicker in Android to let the user to choose the date. I want it to do one thing if the user picks a date and sets it (I have that working fine) and then to clear a certain text field if the user pushes the cancel button on the datepicker (open up the datepicker but then cancel out of it).
The way I've been trying is by making a code...
to attach the listener.
My problem is that the listener works if the user pushes the back button, but not if they push the cancel button. I tried using a dismiss listener, and that works, except for the fact that it goes off even whether I set or cancel the datepicker!
What do I need to do so something goes off if and only if I push the cancel button on my datepicker?
