Android :: Passing Array By Calling Activity From A Thread

Jul 23, 2010

I have two activities:

"a" that spawns thread for generating a dynamic array of values inside public void run() function.
"b", graphics activity that will help me draw rectangular pulses based on array values calculated in activity "a" (calculated in a's thread to be precise).

When I am in thread inside "a", how do I pass values of array to activity "b" and
call activity as well.

Android :: Passing A 2 Dimensional Array To An Activity

Apr 1, 2009

I need to pass a 2 dimensional array to an ACTIVITY from a SERVICE. How can I achieve this in minimum number of statements (as in avoiding putExtras for each and every string stored in the array)?

Android :: Passing Array Buffer Between Activity In Same Application

Apr 7, 2009

I am developing an image applications.

One activity decoding image file (jpg, bmp, and so on) to byte buffer RGB 565 or 888 type.

Then want to pass image buffer to another activity for change image data.

I have 3 activity the main decoding activity[A] and selecting effect activity[B] and apply effect activity[C] for change image data.

If i use intent then activity[A] should make intent[1] and putExtra to that intent. and then [B] call getIntent and getByteArrayExtra for get byte buffer.

If user select effect then [B] make new intent[2] and putExtra to intent[2]. and startActivityForResult with intent[2] and activity[C].

Then activity[C] call getIntent to get intent[2] and getByteArrayExtra for get byte buffer again.

There takes much times to make new byte buffer and copy from parent's activity's byte buffer 2 times. [A]->[B] and [B]->[C]

That process drops application performance.

Questions

1. Can i pass intent[1] to activity[C] without make new intent[2] and putExtra byte buffer? by modify intent[1]. (if it works just 1 buffer copy will perform)

2. Can i use application global memory for share byte buffer? if i use hash map how can each activity access same hash map? (if it works don't need to copy buffer)

Android :: Passing An Array To A View

Apr 8, 2010

My background is in C, but I'm relatively new to Java and to Android. I have a question as to whether I'm implementing code in the best way:

As a learning exercise in Java and in meeting the Model-View- Controller pattern, I wrote a simple game. It plays out on a 2D grid owned by the game class, and is drawn to the display by an extended View class. I have it working, but I'm wondering after the fact if I'm going about it the right way.

Here's a simplified version of what I have:

Android :: Passing Data From Bg To UI Thread Using Handler?

Oct 13, 2010

In Handler, we can pass some data from a background thread to the UI thread like this:

private void someBackgroundThreadOperation() {
final String data = "hello";
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Log.d(TAG, "Message from bg thread: " + data);
}
}
}

If we use the above, we cannot then use Handler.removeCallbacks(Runnable r), because we won't have references to any of the anonymous runnables we created above. We could create a single Runnable instance, and post that to the handler, but it won't allow us to pass any data through:.............

Android :: Java Thread Message Passing

Jun 16, 2010

I'm writing an Android app. I have a main method, which creates and runs a new Thread using an anonymous inner Runnable class. The run() method, when it's done, calls a method on it's parent class (in the main thread) that calls notifyDataSetChanged() so that the main thread can redraw the new data. This is causing all kinds of trouble (ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException). The thing is, this method being called from the worker thread is on the class that's created in the UI thread. Shouldn't that be running on the UI thread? Or am I missing something.

Android :: Passing Arguments From Loading Activity To Main Activity

May 16, 2010

I'm writing an application that starts with a loading activity. In the loading activity the app requests html from web and parses the html, then it sends the parsing result to the main activity. The main activity has several tabs, and contents of these tabs are based on the result of parsing.For example, the result of parsing is a list of strings ["apple", "banana", "orange"], and I need to pass this list to main activity, so that the main activity can create three tabs named after three fruits.I would like to know if there is any way to pass a list of strings among activities, BTW, is it the common way of do this?

Android :: Passing An Array In Intent Android

Aug 30, 2010

I've always been under the assumption that you can't pass arrays between activities with extras. But I was just going through the Bundle class docs and saw putStringArray(String key, String[] value) and public String[] getStringArray (String key). Are these new? They both say since API lvl 1, but I don't remember being able to pass arrays.

Android :: Way To Know Another Thread's Handler Not Null Before Calling It?

Feb 2, 2010

My program threw a NullPointerException the other day when it tried to use a Handler created on another thread to send that thread a message. The Handler created by the other thread was not yet created, or not yet visible to the calling thread, despite the calling thread having already called start on the other thread. This only happens very rarely. Almost every test run does not get the exception. I was wondering what the best way is to avoid this problem for sure with minimal complication and performance penalty. The program is a game and very performance sensitive, especially once it is running. Therefore I try to avoid using synchronization after setup, for example, and would prefer to avoid spinning on a variable at any time.

Android :: Calling ImageSwitcher.setImageURI In A Thread

Nov 21, 2010

I want to display pictures into an ImageSwitcher and change image every 3 seconds. I instanciate a Thread that call the setImageURI(URI) and I schedule it every 3 seconds. It does not update the view and I don't know how to do it. If I call the same code that call the setImageURI() from the OnClickListener of the view it works! Do you know why and how can I make it work?

Android :: Call Not Suspend Main (Calling) Thread

Feb 18, 2010

Hi, I've noticed that on android, the call to pthread_join does not suspend the calling thread. I've a number (6) of new thread created using pthread_create and pthread_join is called on each thread. But It does not suspend the main (calling) thread. I believe this relates to the port of pthread lib to android.

Android :: Passing Values From One Activity To Another

Feb 11, 2010

I have an app which makes use of several layout-views. Every layout - view also got a class for it, which extend the Activity class. One class for example retrieves some database values whilst offering a search form to the user. Afterwards the user can select one of those values and he gets presented with another screen which gives similar options as the one selected. Anyways, I'd like for the first Activity to be able to send an array with data (Strings for example) to the second one. Right now I show an activity by using:

Intent i = new Intent(this, activitysName.class); startActivity(i);

I have no idea whilst using this construction how I can "initialize" the new object with the String array I want to pass to it. So how should this be achieved ? Should I be using something else instead of an Intent-Activity combination ?

Android :: Passing Bitmap To Another Activity

Jun 7, 2010

I have a Bitmap image and i want to forward the bitmap to another activity. I have two activities Activity A and Activity B. This is how I started the Activity B
startActivityForResult(new Intent(Activity A.this, Activity B.class), 120);
in activity B
private void forwardImage(Bitmap bit) {
Intent i = new Intent(MMS.this, Compose.class);
i.putExtra("MMS", bit);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
finish(); }

This is not forwarding to Activity A but if I put a String to the intent it'll forward. This is how I listen to result in Activity A

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch (resultCode)
case RESULT_OK: Intent intent = getIntent();
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra("MMS");
mmsImage.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
default: break;
} }

How can I pass a bitmap.

Android :: Passing Parameters To New Activity

Mar 2, 2009

I'm programming an Activity that launches a second one through startActivity just like in the Forwarding example. The main difference is that I'd like to pass some data to the second Activity when starting it, for example an item selected in a list owned by the first Activity. I can't find how to do that. Am I missing something? I guess I do.

Android :: Passing Values From Activity To Another File

Nov 20, 2010

I have a need where I must pass some values from an Activity to another file which extends View class (instead of Activity). Its not the normal passing of values from one activity to another. In my Activity, I will pass some co-ordinate values to the class that extends View. In this class, I will draw an image and place points over the image on the required co-ordinates. But, the problem is, I cant send values using Intent.

Android :: Passing Data Between Service And Activity

Sep 19, 2010

So I'm getting really confused on how to do this whole thing and I was hoping someone could break it down for me a little bit.I have a service that should always be running, and at certain times it needs to alert the user that a task is to be completed(probably through a notification bar icon). When the user accepts the task, the service needs to look into the local database, construct some non primitive objects, and give them to the activity that it just started.I have looked all over and gotten very confused as to a proper approach so I have a few questions to help me wrap my head around it.If an activity creates a local SQLite database can the service and activities of that application access that same database later?Does the service and activity need to be in the same or separate packages? I would think no but for some reason I remember seeing something about this elsewhere.

How would I do the data transmission from the service to the activity? I was thinking a content provider but it seems like there should be an easier way for the service to just hand off the data. Similar to an Intent but for non primitives.

Android :: Passing Keyevents To The Next Activity In The Stack

Apr 4, 2009

I'm trying to create an activity which would be on top of other activities (a small dialog themed activity) and I want to get ALL key events to be ignored by my activity and handled normally by the activity beneath it. When I say all I mean the send, end and back keys too. Is this possible?I've tried setFocusable(false), setting the flag FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, and adding a dummy onKeyListener but nothing doesn't seem to do the trick.

Android :: Calling Looper More Than Once Causes - Sending Message To A Handler On A Dead Thread

Sep 4, 2010

I am using an Executor [fixed thread pool] with my own ThreadFactory that adds a Looper:

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

I am running a thread that makes network requests but if the network fails I would like a dialog message to be displayed to the user. This process is rather involving since it requires making AND displaying the request in the UI thread. I can wait for the user's response to the dialog by simply adding a Loop to the network thread and wait for a message to be send from the UI thread. This allows me to encapsulate the network requests in a while(tryAgain) thread. All works well except when the Looper.loop() method is called the second time (after a second network error dialog is displayed) and a message is sent by the dialog (in the UI thread) to the network thread's handler:

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

In the AlertDialog instance is an OnClickListener:

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

I've checked that the thread is still active with handler.getLooper().getThread().isAlive() which always returns true but it still gives me "sending message to a Handler on a dead thread". How is it that the Message/Handler has decided that the thread is dead? Shouldn't it rely on the .isAlive() method? In the end I am trying to avoid replicating the thread management build into the Android OS .

Android :: Passing Information Back From EventListener To Activity

Nov 6, 2010

I'm new to Android, and event driven code in general. Rather than embed loads of anonymous event listener classes in my Activity to handle onClick events etc, I defined separate classes to keep the code clean. Then I use them e.g. like this

myButton.setOnClickListener(new MyEventListener());

So, when 'myButton' gets clicked, MyEventListener's onClick method does some stuff.

I wanted to know the best practice for

a) accessing things in my Activity from the event listener. For example to change the text of a label. The onClick event takes a View in, but this is the view for the button that's been clicked, so if the label is NOT a child of my button, I can't use findViewById to get a handle to it. I've modified the constructor to pass in a reference to the label, so that the event has a handle to it but not sure if this is the most elegant way of doing it.

b) Passing information back e.g. when my event fires, I might want to disable some EditText fields. I'm thinking the proper way to do this is probably to dispatch another event from my event listener, that the Activity listens for, and when it sees the event, disables the fields in question. Is that the way to do it in Android?

Android :: Force Browser Activity To Close After Passing Control

So I read through the SDK docs and I thought that calling a new activity(browser) as part of a task (myTask) will mean that activity* (browser) will close when a user closes the task (myTask) But I am left with a browser window.

Question 1: What is the cleanest way to ensure that when a user closes my app, any outside activities called will be closed to.

Question 2: Does a callback URl start a new Task, or use one in the stack if available?
