I am trying to launch an app widget from another application. On click of a button in an application, the appwidget is receiving the message i broadcasted.I have implemented the appwidgetprovider class. In the appwidgetprovider class, in the onReceive function i am able to get the broadcasted message.

I'm wanting to make a widget that launches an app another developer made when you touch it. I know you use the startActivity(intent) meathod. But I am wondering how I know what the intent is short of emailing the developer and asking?
View 13 Replies View RelatedIs there any way we can launch the widget from our application immediately without user have to choose the widget.
So it like automatically add widget to our home screen using code.
My widget launches a configuration screen when chosen to be put on screen. That works fine.
I wanted to be able to touch a part of the widget to return to that configuration screen.
I have created 2 pending intents in my widget's service but only one works. The code is below...
For the life of me i cannot understand how i can launch again the configuration activity.
I am following http://www.helloandroid.com/files/xmaswidget/android_howto-hellowidget.pdf for developing a widget. I am unable to launch a widget on to the home screen.When running the application I am getting the errors like No Launcher activity found and The launch will only sync the application package on the device!

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout one-fourth of comments for my widget on the market are "Doesn't launch" with 1-star rating. Are you guys having the same problem? I've already included the instructions at the top of app's description but doesn't help. Here are the solutions I'm thinking about but don't know how to implement them yet.
1. Having a default activity showing a help page. But this would clutter the app tray with another useless app icon. Can I hide the app icon from launcher after first launch?
2. Launch widget picker activity from the market open button. But this doesn't tell users how to add widgets later on. Is it possible to set AndroidManifest.xml to open widget picker as default activity?
I'm trying to do something which really ought to be quite easy, but it's driving me crazy. I'm trying to launch an activity when a home screen widget is pressed, such as a configuration activity for the widget. I think I've followed word for word the tutorial on the Android Developers website, and even a few unofficial tutorials as well, but I must be missing something important as it doesn't work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am desperately trying to get my head wrapped around how to implement home screen widgets. Right now, I (finally) was able to get a button on my widget respond to a button press setting up an intent filter in the manifest.
However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to launch an activity when the button is pressed. Basically, here's the code i have...
What I really want to do, though, is start a new activity, not display a toast message. I know it has something to do with pending intents, but I can't figure out how to get that to work.
I have a widget that when clicked opens an activity from same app as the widget. When the activity is closed/dismissed via a button, the user will see the full app window IF the app was previously open/in memory. Is there a way for the activity to finish and return to the home screen and not to an existing instance of the app?
Intent i = new Intent(this,RateIt.class);
i.putExtra("com.sporadicsoftware.NetQ.movie_id",aMovie.title_id);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
0, i, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.movie_one_title, pendingIntent);
I added to the manifest file for the activity to be launched:
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW">
</action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT">
</category> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE">
</category> <data android:scheme="my_scheme"/> </intent-filter>
I load the link in WebView:
mWebView.loadData("<a href="my_scheme://launch_my_app/refresh_all ">Launch App</a>", "text/html", "utf-8");
When I click on the link I get the error -10 "The protocol is not supported" in My WebViewClient.OnReceivedError override.
I created an app with one activity, and it works just fine. Having though more about the app, I decided to add another activity which be the welcome screen of the app, with a nice logo and some buttons. This app should direct the user to the activity I mentioned before. The only trouble is - I can't find out where and how can I determine which activity should launch first, the moment the app loads. Do I need to create the entire app from scratch, but this time programing the home activity first?

I try to launch the sms app...code...

I have a widget that contains 4 buttons to show 4 stock prices, each of them will launch into the same activity Quote.class to show stock details. In onUpdate(), it will set up the pendingIntent with extras with stock symbol. After I hit button A, it goes to Quote activity that shows stock A. Then I hit the BACK button to the homescreen, Quote activity calls onDestroy() and when I hit button B, stock B will show properly. However, when i hit HOME button after it shows stock A, the Quote activity only calls onStop without calling onDestroy(), then as i hit button B, it will call onStart() and it shows the same instance that shows stock A.
CODE:............
Originally I thought adding a flag in the Intent should solve this problem. But I have tried
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY), none of them makes any difference.
So is there any ways to make it work? How can i remove the history stack from HOME button? How can I call onCreate in Quote activity and get new extras when i hit button B?
I've run this on a device and on the emulator. The app stops unexpectedly on both. I have not a clue what is wrong currently. It uses Google API Maps I compiled with Google Api 7. I followed this tutorial:
http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.html
I did use the correct API Key That the final apk is signed with. This is the source(If you compile it shouldn't work as it is unsigned). This is the compiled signed apk

We are trying to launch C program application (for example, Helloworld) at start-up on ARM-based target board. We copied the application in /system/bin and modified the init.rc script to add the entry of the application in "on boot". But, still, the application does not launch at the start-up.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have an application with two activities and I'd like to be able to have two icons appear in the launcher, each launching the respective activity within the app.Specifically, I want one icon to launch my main app, and another icon to launch my settings activity. Is this possible?This creates two launcher icons, but they both run my main app instead of the second icon running my settings app. I've tried just having the launcher category but then I don't get an icon so it looks like I need the main action as well.Is this the right approach or should I be declaring two applications in the manifest instead?
