I have search Android docs and for some insane reason I am not able to find the list of all available intent filters.
I am finding an intent filter, which would do something like , notifying me through Broadcast Receiver that a particular Activity (example browser, or email ) has been started or in foreground. Can anyone help me with that .

I've read lots of articles about intent filters and I really can't understand exactly what they do? so please if anybody can explain to me with a clear example what is the role of intent filters exactly ?

When I added a new entry in AndroidManifest.xml/manifest/application/activity/intent-filers for activity B then the application worked.
I have two questions:
When there are multiple activities entries in AndroidManifest.xml, how does android know which activity to start first?
I could not understand intent-filters.

I'm writing a client application for an Italian social network (Meemi) and I'd like to give the possibility to users to share their calendar events via my client. I noticed on my device (HTC Desire) that is possible to access to a "share chooser" from the Calendar event list: in fact I can share via email, sms, and bluetooth. I'd like to add my client to the this sharing list: but I'm not able to found the right intent filter to use.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am interested in activating another application's activity. I know from reading the Android SDK that it's probably better to do this with an implicit intent. However, this activity doesn't reside in an application I own, so I don't know the action and category and data flags on the intent-filter.
How can I examine an Android applications metadata like the activity classes and the intent-filters for those activities (if declared in the manifest)?
I've been grappling with an issue all day.
I am trying to create a program to deal with .torrent files that are clicked on and/or downloaded by the browser. Currently the downloader reports "Cannot download. the content being downloaded is not supported on the phone"
Im fairly sure this is doable as i recently encountered the same issue with pdf files untill i installed a pdf reader.
I'm currently exploring Broadcast Receivers and Broadcast Intent. There are some aspects of the tutorials which are ambiguous to me. To my knowledge this is how the process works. I can broadcast an intent from my application and any receiver on the phone can act on that intent as long as the actions match. I can register a broadcaster receiver on anything that extends Context and when I do so I must provide a filter which will allow the receiver to act on one or more intent actions.The part which confuses me is defining a receiver via the manifest. Must the name of said receiver match a class name? Why should I ever define an intent filter with an action in the project manifest if I always have to provide another intent filter when I register my receiver in code?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI added an intent filter to one of my activities, so that when a user clicks a URL like "www.mysite.com", and if my app is installed, my registered activity can be launched. It works well.
I see that this creates a new instance of my registered activity though, every time a link is clicked. Is there any way to prevent multiple instances from being created - just recycle an existing instance if one already exists?
I have an intent filter to intercept urls from the browser on my domain. This will give the user the the choice of using the native application or the browser. I have setup the following intent filter as so.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:host="myDomain" android:pathPrefix="/custom/" android:scheme="http" />
</intent-filter>
Now, it's not my intention to trap the user in the native application as there is much benefit from using the browser. So I would like to give the user some ability to go back to the browser within the application. I have created a button with an onClick that simply creates an intent for View and the url that would represent it. This will present the user with the choice dialog again. The catch to this is that a user is also allowed to select a checkbox to always use the native application. While that is well and good, sometimes absolutes are wrong.
So if I am reading a blog post that mentions a specific url and a specific part of that document, intercepting the url is not what the user intended but will send them to the native application. Also then upon selecting the button with the intent, they will immediately be sucked back into the application. How can you structure a ACTION_VIEW intent for the system browser or at least detect that the user has selected always use the native app so that you can use the ACTION_WEB_SEARCH (it has a different UI behavior with the history stack, which is why I wouldn't opt to use this action all the time).
I need to create a list view that display same functionality as Contact App. I need to have a scroller through which i can traverse the list alphabetically. To achieve this i am following an example from API demos "com.example.android.apis.view.List1.java". It is using a textfilter. When i implement this functionality on a static list view => it is working fine. But when i try this on a dynamic listview=> it is not working.

I get that I need to declare an intent filter for the SHARE action, what I can't seem to find is how the Gallery wants to send out the selected image. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/11/integrating-applicatio... documentation is key indeed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a few separate applications which are all launched purely through a main application.I am wondering if I'd be able to use intents to retrieve a list of all the sub-applications which match some discovery intent. The main application currently needs to know what Intents to use to START these sub-applications, but is there a way to use intents to see if other Activities on the device match a set of intent-filters?

I have already made a lot of Android application by myself but never touching the signal analysis and filtering part, so here are a few questions, I do not ask for precise answer but maybe links and tutorial to find something to work on. I guess that a new Android phone has the CPU and power to make real-time filtering.
1) How can I intercept the sound coming from the Jack microphone - Line-IN plug- ( I plan to link my TV to my phone with Jack to Jack plug). My question is totally software and coding, I have all the wires and adapters to plug a jack into my android phone Line IN.
2) Are there some Fourier analysis librairies, may I have a look to Java libraries on the web and import them to my Android project?
I want to set in project properties build target 2.2 (api level 8) In the manifest.xml <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="4"/> is declared. Did anybody tried, if any user (with min. Android 1.5) see application in the market? Could some other problems occur because of different SDK for building and in manifest?!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the D Inc and have a question. Is there anyone to create filters in Active Sync Exchange that filters out emails so they don't hit your Inc. I have a rule setup in Outlook that automatically sends an email sent by a specific email address to go directly to my deleted items in my Personal Folders in Outlook 2007. The reason why i ask is because on my BB Storm, I setup a filter that blocked these emails from going to my BB In box. I also remember on my Moto Q with Win Mobile I always also able to setup a filter as well. I work at a help desk with a ticket tracking system, the system sends an email for every ticket opened by the help desk to all help desk employees, so my in box can fill up quite quickly. I did notice that if I have Outlook opened up on my desktop these emails do not show up on my D Inc, but when I close Outlook (Like I did last night before I went home), they are showing up today on my Inc.
View 6 Replies View RelatedGlad to see you guys are updating the market. The changes look nice and the additional promo tools will be a great way to get our target consumers' attention. At some point however, I think you should consider a you-tube style filter for the market. As a developer I work hard to put out something cool that is downloaded en masse for about a day and a half while it floats near the top of the new apps category, but won't pick back up again without some additional promotion. It would be very helpful to have a most popular filter for today, this week, this month, this year, all time. That way, we can gain some traction as a most popular app for the week or month (and hopefully beyond!). Please consider this in your next round of upgrades to the market.
