Android :: Intent And URI Conversion Result

Feb 14, 2009

We can convert from Intent to URI and from URI to Intent. From Intent to URI string Intent intent1 = new Intent ();
String uriString = intent1.toURI ();
From URI string to Intent Uri uri = Uri.parse (uriString);
Intent intent2 = new Intent ();
intent2.setData (uri)

After conversion, intent1 and inten2 should be same. for example:
Intent intent1 = new Intent ();
intent1.addCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent1.addCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
Log.v ("", "Intent1 = " + intent1);
if (intent1.hasCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_HOME))
Log.v ("Intent1", "#1 hasCategory TRUE");
else Log.v ("Intent1", "#1 hasCategory FALSE");
String str = intent1.toURI ();
Uri uri = Uri.parse (str);
Intent intent2 = new Intent ();
intent2.setData (uri);
Log.v ("", "Intent2 = " + intent2);
if (intent2.hasCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_HOME))
Log.v ("Intent2", "#2 hasCategory TRUE");
else Log.v ("Intent2", "#2 hasCategory FALSE");
result Intent1 = { categories=android.intent.category.HOME,android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} } #1 hasCategory TRUE

Intent2 {data=#Intent;
category=android.intent.category.HOME;
category=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;
end } #2 hasCategory FALSE

In this sample code, Intent2 is a conversion result from Intent1. If you run this sample code, Intent1 result and Intent2 result are different. Because Intent1 and Intent2 have a same Intent.CATEGORY_HOEM, the result should be Intent1 and Intent2 is TRUE (intent.hasCategory). I think this is bug. And the hint is Intent1 and Intent2 's toString result is different.
Intent1 = {categories=android.intent.category.HOME,android.intent.category.LAUNCHER}
Intent2 = { data=#Intent;category=android.intent.category.HOME
category= android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;end }

I don't know how to convert Intent to URI(String) and convert URI (String) to Intent. I want to save Intent to DB and read Intent from DB.

Android : Way To Get Result From Settings Activity Intent?

May 4, 2009

I am currently trying to launch a GPS settings activity using startActivityForResult....however it never seems to be calling my onActivityResult function after it exits. I noticed the docs mentioned that some Intent protocols are not defined to return a result, is this one such example? are there any flags that I could set to either make the settings activity call onActivityResult, or even better make my activity block until the launched activity returns?

Android :: Single Intent To Take Picture / Pick Image From Gallery

Apr 25, 2010

I'm developing an app for Android 2.1 upwards. I want to enable my users to select a profile picture within my app (I'm not using the contacts framework). The ideal solution would be to fire an intent that enables the user to select an image from the gallery, but if an appropriate image is not available then use the camera to take a picture (or vice-versa i.e. allow user to take picture but if they know they already have a suitable image already, let them drop into the gallery and pick said image). Currently I can do one or the other but not both.

If I go directly into camera mode using MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE then there is no option to drop into the gallery. If I go directly to the gallery using Intent.ACTION_PICK then I can pick an image but if I click the camera button (in top right hand corner of gallery) then a new camera intent is fired. So, any picture that is taken is not returned directly to my application. (Sure you can press the back button to drop back into the gallery and select image from there but this is an extra unnecessary step and is not at all intuitive). So is there a way to combine both or am I going to have to offer a menu to do one or the other from within my application? Seems like it would be a common use case, surely I'm missing something?

Android :: Correct Intent To Launch Gallery / Video Camera

Jul 28, 2009

My application has buttons to launch gallery and video camera apps but the below code only seems to work on phones with the standard Cupcake build:
// For Gallery Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName("com.android.camera", "com.android.camera.GalleryPicker");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); mContext.startActivity(intent);
// For Video Camera Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName("com.android.camera", "com.android.camera.VideoCamera"); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); mContext.startActivity(intent);

On rooted / non-cupcake phones, I get this error:
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.camera/com.android.camera.VideoCamera};
have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml? at android.app.Instrumentation.checkStartActivityResult (Instrumentation.java:1480) at android.app.Instrumentation.execStartActivity(Instrumentation.java: 1454) at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:2656) at android.app.Activity.startActivity(Activity.java:2700)

Android :: Open A Local App File In Another App Via An Intent

Nov 8, 2010

I don't want to store said file on the sdcard in this case. The file also cannot be storage directly in the apps local files directory. It needs to be in a subdirectory, so it cannot write the file using openFileOutput() and MODE_WORLD_READABLE.

The app may download files small files like pdfs and store them locally in a subdirectory. I would like to be able to have the user open these files if they have an app that can open them.

For example here is an intent for sending a pdf:

CODE:..............

path being something like: /data/data/packagename/files/subdir/example.pdf

That intent will open a pdf viewer, but the viewer is unable to open the file. I assume this is a permissions issue. I tried Mark Murphy's suggestion here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4e55d869213483a9/b7270078ac1a2744?lnk=raot of using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod 755 " + fileName); but it didn't make any difference. He also suggested a Content Provider but I would like to avoid it if I can because it seems like a lot just to get this file over to another app.

If the content provider is the only option, do I have to save the file to the content provider or can I just use the content provider as a pass through to get it to the other app when I need to?

Android :: Intent To Open Users Preferred Browser

Jun 28, 2010

I've been trying to find out how to create an intent that will open the user's preferred browser without specifying the URL. I know how to open it by giving a specific URL like this:Intent intent = new Intent();intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData (android.net.Uri.parse ("http://www.google.com")) ;context.startActivity (intent);I don't want to open the browser to any page in particular, just the set homepage or whatever page the user was on last. I've thought about looking up the homepage set within the app but you can't do it with the default Browser app because it is private. Does anybody know of a way to do this?

Android :: Method To Open The Image Gallery - Previous Implemention No Longer Works

I've had an app on the market for over a year. Recently customers have been reporting a crash; all customers have been running Android 2.1 or 2.2 (note sure if the crash is limited to those platforms tho; interesting that this does work on the simulator but not physical devices. Maybe devices renamed the component name of the image gallery?). The crash occurs when I attempt to lauch the Image Gallery app.

Is there a preferred method to launching the Image Gallery?

I use the following code.

Android :: Broken Gallery View? Using Gallery Set Selection (int Position / Boolean Animate)

Feb 6, 2009

I'm trying to set the selection of a Gallery in code. I would like to have the Gallery smoothly roll down a few items over the duration of a second or two. At frist glance, it appears that two members would to the trick:Gallery.setAnimationDuration(int animationDurationMillis); Gallery.setSelection(int position, boolean animate); It turns out that the setAnimationDuration only seems to affect the rubber-bandy "return-to-center" effect of the Gallery. In other words, when a gallery comes to rest after a fling, and a gallery item is off center, the animationDurationMillis is used to control the duration of the Gallery centering up the item. However, the value seems to have no effect on the setSelection. No matter what value is set with setAnimationDuration, the Gallery seems to render about 2 or 3 frames when flying between items 1 and 10 for example. Is this working as designed? Does anyone know a trick or workaround that would let me properly animate setSelection? I'd be especially grateful if we could do it with an "Ease Out" effect.

Android :: Way To Return Result Of AsyncTask

Jan 21, 2010

According to my research, which includes reputable sources (Mark Murphy et al), the most preferred way of polling a remote source and presenting said data to the user is by creating a service and using AsyncTask within that service to do the polling. I have done that.But, when I read the docs there seem to be several "Threading Rules" that conflict with this way of doing things: "The task instance must be created on the UI thread." and "execute(Params...) must be invoked on the UI thread." As stated, I have created the task instance on the Service thread (not the UI thread). Am I missing something? Also, when the AsyncTask finished, I sent out a Broadcast on onPostExecute, which is then picked up by the Activity, telling it to retrieve the final value again from the service (since I couldn't obviously update the UI from the service). I couldn't figure out any other way to return the result of the AsyncTask. Is this the correct practice?

Android :: Start Activity From Service - And Getting Result From It

Feb 11, 2010

I have a Service which needs to receive data from external packages. So, to locate the data providing external packages, I use activity- filter and PackageManager.queryIntentActivities function to locate the interesting packages. Now, from each such package, I need to get a ContentProvider URI. So I want to start the external Activity and the external activity will return a result to my service - something like "startActivityForResult". The problem is that there is no way to call "startActivityForResult" from a Service, only Activity can do that, and my project does not have any Activity, and probably can't show UI for the user.

The bottom line: Can anyone suggest a way to get ContentProvider URI from an external package, while my package has only a Service?
