Android :: User-set Locale Always Get Reset After OnCreate
Sep 14, 2010
I want to have a configurable language settings in my app. So, in onCreate of my activity, I call Resources.updateConfiguration with the new locale. However, after onCreate (at some time, I can't find it when), the locale is set back to the default locale.
On the code example below, the strings shown in the main layout (as inflated by setContentView) shows the "in" language version, BUT when I press the menu button, on which onCreateMenu is called, the strings is taken from the "en" (default) locale.
The log shows this:
CODE:...............
Between "oncreate" and "onmenu", the locale magically changes.

I know I can use android.text.format.DateFormat.getDateFormat() to format my dates, and android.text.format.DateFormat.getTimeFormat to format my times, but how do I format a datetime? Similar to the getDateTimeInstance method from java.text.DateFormat. I'm currently just concatenating the result of both the getDateFormat and getTimeFormat's formatters, but I don't know which way around the user prefers to have their dates and times shown.

I want to add language to the language list from the settings, Not by apps like "Morelocale2". A way to edit the list of the default language list.
I've seen a guide saying I should disable the files Customization Setup or Customization Setup Provider which probably are not updated to the full list, But sadly the guide was old (probably for 4.0 ICS) and these files are not exciting in my device (4.2.2), perhaps they are named differently..

Locale is one of my faverate App, it can create situations specifying conditions under which your phone's settings should change. For example, your "At School" situation notices when your location condition is "77 Massachusetts Ave.," and changes your ringer volume setting to vibrate.
With Locale's advanced touch-screen interface, you'll be set up in no time. Quickly define locations that are important to you using a simple Google Maps interface.
If you think this is exactly what you are looking for, you can download it in the market

My prob is the following: My android application has the class TestActivity (entrypoint) -my app uses "library.jar" wich contains J2ME classes, used as library -library.jar also includes "UIActivity" [can spawn several dialogs] wich is called by a (j2me) class of library.jar -I only have the .class files of the j2me-lib stuff, so I cant modify them, but I can do so on Android-classes
so... the short form:
CODE:.............
finally I get the error:
CODE:.............
Do I have to use Services instead of Activities? But afaik I have to give a reference of an activity to spawn dialogs.

Leaving aside the lamentable wording of the documentation for this method, it's not really acting as I hoped for an ImageView. I call toggle() from the onClick method of the view but the view system does not redraw my drawable with the checked state. However, if I initialize CHECKED_STATE_SET with android.R.attr.state_checked then the view is draw with the checked state.
So apparently my call to setImageState is not updating the state of the ImageView. The documentation for setImageState is totally blank in the case of an ImageView. What does this mean?
Here's my code:................................

My users can change the Locale within the app (they may want to keep their phone settings in English but read the content of my app in French, Dutch or any other language ...)
Why is this working perfectly fine in 1.5/1.6 but NOT in 2.0 anymore?
CODE:..........
The problem is that the MENU "shrinks" more and more everytime the user is going through the lines of code above ...
This is the Menu that gets shrunk:
CODE:.........
What should I do in API Level 5 to make this work again ?
HERE IS THE FULL CODE IF YOU WANT TO TEST THIS :
CODE:..............
AND HERE IS THE MANIFEST :
CODE:..........
THIS IS WHAT I FOUND :
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" />
=> IT WORKS JUST FINE ...
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
=> Menu shrinks every time you change the locale!
As I want to keep my application accessible for users on 1.5.

I'm about to get my first Android phone and I'm wondering what your favorite alternative to Locale is? I'm seeing reviews that are less and less favorable and for a $10 app, it out to be darn amazing in my book.

I have been looking it up and I just cant seem to wrap myself around the onCreate and Bundles. I understand that the onCreate is called when the program starts but its how the Bundles get passed around and how they are pertinent. Can anyone try to put this into plain english because I cant seem to find it well described.

I have an activity that checks stuffs online when it's created (is the GPS on and if not it asks if the user wants to turn it on).
The problem I'm having is that it is also doing it everytime I change the orientation of the screen.
I've read some comments on onConfigurationChanged() but is there a better way to be sure I'm checking the GPS only when the activity is first created?

I'm having a hard time resolving a crash report. It's an OutOfMemory exception that occurs during the setContentView in the onCreate of my main activity.
I just want to be sure I understood Android LifeCycle well :
1) The onCreate of my main activity is called once and only once during the life time of my application ? Is that correct ?
2) Just like for the big bang, before the oncreate of my activity, nothing exists for that activity, so memory consumption is zero, no objects exists right ?
So what can cause that sometimes, with random framework and devices, I get an OOM exception ? I mean if say my background image is causing this, it should blow up everytime, on every device, shouldn't it ? I mean the result should be reliable.
The background image is a standard jpg : 360*480 weighing 37kb, nothing fancy really :s
The crash report below :

I'm opening an Activity using this:
startActivity(new Intent(Parent.this, Child.class)); And on the child, I have this code on the onCreate function (the if contains more than just true, of course): public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); if (true) { AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setPositiveButton("OK", null); builder.setTitle("Error"); builder.setMessage("Connection error, please try later.") .show(); finishActivity(0); return;}}
Why is the activity not closing? I get the alert box, but then I have to tap the "back" button to go back.

I understand that Android Activities have specific lifecycles and that onCreate should be overridden and used for initialization, but what exactly happens in the constructor? Are there any cases when you could/should override the Activity constructor as well, or should you never touch it?
I'm assuming that the constructor should never be used because references to Activities aren't cleaned up entirely (thus hampering the garbage collector) and that onDestroy is there for that purpose. Is this correct?

I got this class, and nothing inside the onCreate is happening? Does it not automatically get called upon initialization?
Code is below.
CODE:......................
Doing this results in a "application has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". If I initialize the string to some set of characters instead of null, it'll just stay that way. Should it not do what is inside the onCreate() and make that change?

I know that network activity and expensive operations should not be done on the ui thread, but what about database activity?
I have an activity that, when started, I query an sqlite database and dynamically populate rows in a tablelayout with an inflator. I do this all in the oncreate() method. Should this be done in a separate thread?

What is the lifetime of a ContentProvider in Android? After onCreate() is invoked, will the ContentProvider persist unconditionally for the lifetime of the process?
My ContentProvider manages a list of records, but only 1 is designated "active" and will be accessed by different applications a lot. I was wondering if it's safe to cache the index of this active record in memory as a member of my ContentProvider to speed up lookup.

Why if I start the MPlayer from the onCreate it doesn't start?
I tried also from onStart(), but the only working way was from onTouch or on key press.
Any idea how to start it without any additional user input needed?
