I installed my application through clicking run in eclipse. When I search for my application to start it and click on it I get the following error. Do I have to add some magic phrase to the manifest?
CODE:................
I was really sure this was available from 1.6. It seems I need to have a rest!
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs this possible? I have a free and a paid version of an application. From the FREE version I want to provide the ability to for the user to "PURCHASE" the paid version. I want to make it as simple as possible. I am thinking of Starting the market app and passing the identification of the PAID so that the Market app will take them right there. I am trying to make it as easy as posible. No searching etc. No I have no intent of doing the purchasing from within my app. I want to have them press [Get Paid Now] button and then I start the Market app which would then take them to my Paid Application in the store.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhile opening my application from application launcher. Sometimes I am getting blank screen for long time (almost 3 min). If I perform some key events then I am getting ANR. Log is as follows.
I/ActivityManager( 57): Starting activity: Intent {

After this I am getting activity launch timeout and Idle timeout. Is there any design issue with my activity or problem with android environment.
I have a call blocking application. It has 3 files:
1) class BlockMyCall extends BroadcastReceiver
2) class SimpleClass1 extends Service
3) PhoneBlock extends Activity
I start "PhoneBlock " Activity to call Service "SimpleClass1 ", which eventually calls "BlockMyCall" intended to block outbound calls (by setting result to "null").
I want to know if I can run the class1 from service without starting activity. If so , how?
I have created the meat and guts of my application but I want to add a different activity that will be the starting point (sort of a log-in screen).
Couple questions:
1) I have a fairly decent handle on how to switch between activities (based on this article: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7498) but I'm not sure how to go about creating a new one (with eclipse).
2) once I have a new activity created, how can I set it as the default activity of my application? I presume I could just change the name of the classes...but is there a more elegant way to handle that (maybe within the AndroidManifest.xml)?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Service which tracks the location of the user. Currently, the Service boots when the application starts and stops when the application terminates. Unfortunately, if users keep the application in the background, the Service never stops and drains battery.
I would like the Service to stop when my application is not in the foreground. I was hoping the Application class would let me Override onPause and onResume handlers, but it does not have them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've moved over from a Samsung Glyde (aka biggest pos ever) and am so far loving my droid. I'd like to thank everyone that contributed to the app lists/tips/tricks threads. All of it has made moving over to Android so much easier. Really, those kinds of things help us nubs
So far I've only had one real concern with the Droid, and I was wondering if this was unique to my phone, the Droid itself or if its an Android thing.
I downloaded Advance Task Killer as so many have recommended and have noticed that certain apps will simply start themselves running in the background it seems for no other reason than the phone sees the spare memory and fills it up in anticipation that I might run one of them. As you can imagine this is quite frustrating and annoying. Not only does it eat up valuable RAM space but also is eating battery (probably) in the process.
In particular, I notice the Corporate Calender, Voice Dialer, and Visual VM all tend to start themselves up on their own. What's interesting to me about this is I don't even use these applications. In fact, my corporate calendar is not setup, nor have I even opened it once. My phone could be sitting on my desk in sleep mode for an hour and then I'll wake it up and open Task killer to find 10 apps open that I never used.
I am running Eclipse on XP. The Emulator was running correctly but all of sudden today it hang up. I closed Eclipse, rebooted the XP, now when I invoke eclipse, it displays a ddms alert box with the message:
"Failed to initialize monitor thread: Unable to establish loopback connection"
and eclipe prints in its console: [2009-03-17 18:41:46 - DeviceMonitor]Connection attempts: 61
I can start the emulator manually but it's not linked to eclipse and eclipse still gives the same errors.
Why did it stop running and how do I fix it?
I'm testing JTwitter on an android app.
Code:
OAuthSignpostClient oauthClient = new OAuthSignpostClient(
consumerKey,
consumerSecret, "oob");
[code]...
I've included the libraries and all. When I run the app in the emulator, it gives the error 'Unforunately AppName has stopped'.
I would like to know if there is a way to lock (prevent) an application from starting.And i also would like to know if there is a way to prevent a service(application) from starting at boot of the device.i would like to know because i would like to create an anti-malware app.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen developing on BlackBerry or iOS, you can deploy your application just by dropping the compiled code into a special directory, and when the simulator boots up it will check that directory and install any apps that it finds there. Is this possible for Android? The reason this feature is desirable is because my build system deploys builds nightly. I want the emulator ready to go when my QA team gets in the next morning. To do that, I have to write a script that boots up the emulator, waits for it to start up, then calls adb install and finally shuts down the emulator. It would be great if I could just drop the .apk in a directory and have it ready to go the next time QA boots up the emulator.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can browse the internet fine, i can use any app that uses the internet like facebook, youtube, etc. I can even browse the android market fine. Its just stuck at "starting download". I really dont want to reset my phone.
I've tryed:
- restarting
- Turning off and on data connections ( both 3g and wifi )
- Clearing any google cache
- google talk
- deleting apps ( if its a space issue )
- canceling and restarting downloads
- have it attempt to download for 24+ hours
None of these worked. it seems reseting the phone is the last option. I have the Sony Xperia X10. Has anyone with that phone resolved the issue? Is it even the phone that's causing the issue? maybe the market itself is buggy.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm starting an activity when a button is pressed, and normally (in other apps) haven't had an issue. But when I press the button in this app, I get an "unable to marshal value" error.Exact(ish) error from LogCat:

WARN/System.err(252):
java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcel:

I feel that this might be related to the extra that I'm passing to the intent. I'm passing an ArrayList as a serializable to this new intent. My concern is that the data structure that the ArrayList contains isn't being serialized (as it's a personal data structure).Is the array list content data structure causing this? Something else that I'm missing?
