View 6 Replies View RelatedMy app is comprised of a set of reusable Activities that other apps can reuse.

How can I achieve this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to call start Activity(myIntent) from the click of a menu button but my application crashes at that point. The same start Activity call works fine from a regular button click, so, I assume the menu button is missing information about the context? Or maybe I'm totally off the mark here. So what's the correct way to have a menu item take me to a specific Activity? I've revised my code based on the initial set of advice. Still crashing in the same place. The debugger doesn't enter the exception clause, the app just dies. Code...

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it in any way possible to launch an activity from the main function without having a UI? i.e. is there a way to create a sort of "wrapper" around another activity, i.e. by launching the main activity, it takes you to another activity automatically. If that is not possible, is there a way to remove the main activity from the stack so that clicking the back button does not take you to a blank UI?
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
public class WrapperActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:555-1212"));
startActivity(intent);
}
}
I have a requirement where I have to read/parse some data from the server(using HTTPConnection) and then display it on to the screen. To avoid ANR issue I used AsyncTask to perform the above. Now in order to avoid application crash in case the activity gets destroyed(either by OS or if orientation changes or say on any incoming call-->where user stays on the phone for long and for some reason OS destroys/recreates the activity). Currently, I hols the reference of AsyncTask in my activity and then provide a callback(the activity itself) to AsyncTask so that I can pos back message to activity(like closing progress dialog box).In order to avoid memory leaks on onPause I nullify this activity reference in AsyncTask.Before onPause I save the AsyncTask instance using onSaveInstanceState method but I have to use putSerializable for that. I have read on the forums that serialization method is slow, so my question is should I use parcelable approach(and whether the converting AsyncTask to parcelable will be same as creating any other object parcelable). or both these approaches are totally wrong i.e...............

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Android development, so I might be missing something obvious. I want to launch an activity when the user's phone clock hits a specified time (similar to an alarm). However, I'm not sure how I would go about doing this as constant polling of the clock seems inefficient and a waste of resources. Do I need to capture broadcast events from the lclock, or use PendingIntents?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an screen that displays all the names in the Contacts in a ListView. When the user clicks on a name, I want to launch another Activity which display the details of the selected Contact (Phone number/ email) in another screen. How do I display details for the selected row. (i.e When starting the intent how do I send over the row_id of the item selected)?
I've tried the following code:
Intent i = new Intent(this, ContactDetails.class);
startActivity(i);
In order to keep some native code happy, I need to launch an activity in a new process. Does anyone know how to do this?
I can set the activity's process attribute in the manifest, but this will cause *all* instances of the activity to appear in the *same* process, which I can't have.
I'm willing to use internal APIs for this, and I've found Process.start(), but it's not at all clear how this is supposed to be used.
Is it possible if my application is running and that time if any incoming call arrives then i want to kill or wait that call (phone activity). any one achieve this type of work in android. i have a no idea how to do this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAnytime I get in a call and hold the phone to my ear with my should, I start hitting buttons like Mute, Add Call, End Call, etc. I've already been through 3 replacement devices, and all 3 have the issue.
I learned last night (after fighting with a tech at version for 2 hours) that the issue is really just a design flaw by Motorola. If you make an out going call, and then cover the light sensor with your hand (while the phone is vertical), all works great. If you keep the sensor covered and start laying the phone on it's back, eventually the screen will unlock. Doesn't happen every time, only about 80% of the time.
Needless to say, Verzion told me that because that's how Motorola designed it I'm stuck having to deal with it. So now I'm trying to find an app that can lock my screen while I'm in a call. I have bought Screen Suite but it really does way too much for me (plus, I hate the lock screen on it). I much prefer the default lock screen.
Does an app exist that can launch the stock lock screen while in a call? If not does anyone know if the SDK even provides the means to launch the lock screen? Because if so I may have to resort to writing my own app for it.
I'm currently running into an issue that makes sense but I'm not too sure how to resolve it... Here is the scenario: App v1 icon LAUNCH is set to Activity Main from the manifest file. App v2 icon LAUNCH is set to Activity All from the manifest file and Activity Main no longer exists. After updating to App v2 the app icon fails to launch the application saying it doesn't exist! After a restart of the phone things work. So how can I refresh the applications package or better the launch icon and shortcut icons so that my users don't experience this after an upgrade of my newest app version?

I have a ListView that uses different XML files to create Views and make items out of. One of these XML files contains a RatingBar. Everything displays and looks excellent. I'm trying to attach an onClick handler to the RatingBar to launch a new Activity. My RatingBar is of style ?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall; so it's just an indicator (I want the small RatingBar click to take the user to an Activity where they can do various ratings).
My problem is the onClick handler for the RatingBar never gets executed. What makes it more interesting is that I've used the same code to make a LinearLayout clickable and it works fine. My Adapter's getView looks as such:...............

View 5 Replies View RelatedAre there any scenarios on Android where a process can be instantiated (classes loaded, etc.) and a non-main activity launched without going through the main activity? Background: my app has a single main activity (android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" and android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"), some secondary activities, and a preferences class providing static methods meant to be called from anywhere. These static methods' implementations require a Context, and so the class has a static Context member s_context; the static methods assert that s_context is non-null before using it. The very first thing I do in my main activity's onCreate() method is pass getApplicationContext() into the preferences class so it can set s_context.
