I want to close my application, so that it no longer runs in the background.How to do that? Is this good practice on Android platform?If I rely on the "back" button, it closes the app, but it stays in background. There is even application called "TaskKiller" just to kill those apps in the background.

After deleting a phone device from the emulator, I can no longer hit the green triangle button in eclipse and have it launch my application in the emulator. I had been developing for 2.0.1, but then decided to try my app out in 2.1. I created a phone device for 2.1 and tried running it. I encountered some problems. Eclipse pops up a dialog box: Problem Occurred, Launching "my app" had encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during: 'Launching my app". When I look at details, it says: An internal error occurred during: "Launching Pingo". java.lang.NullPointerException.

I noticed some remarks that accuracy seems to differ across different jogging applications, and some stop tracking if you get a phone call or text message. Any GPS jogging applications that run also in the background so you can call or text?

I've created this for an iPhone, and I'm porting my app to the android.
I have an Android game that has an activity for the menu, and then another activity for the game that creates a SurfaceView and Thread to deal with canvas drawing and game logic. When you exit the game and start it up again too much or if you open and close the keyboard (thus restarting the activity), the game runs out of memory, usually when loading a bitmap: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget keeping all my images in memory without loading them again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor my first application, the only testing I've really done to this point is on my Droid X. I want to think through the various hardware differences and come up with a testing plan that is representative of the Android landscape. My initial thought is to create a list of emulators that have unique qualities such as screen size and SDK levels. I've noticed very quickly how the UI of my application will need some adjustment when viewed on devices that don't carry a 4.3" screen. How have you approached this hurdle in your own development?

Ideally I'd like to load a web page from the network once (images included), then from then on only ever load it from the local cache. I'm not sure if we have this level of control over webview. Will it at some point just auto-clear the cache? How could I tell?

My main problem is that once I put a custom permission inside the mainfest, I can no longer open my own application. The app does appear on the launcher screen but when I launch it, it will say "App isn't installed". However using a second app and giving it the proper uses and making sure it's signed by the same signature it opens fine.Here is the manifest for my main app:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.dms_test_app2"[code].....
For me, it would be K9 Mail. What about you all?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm currently writing an application for the Android platform that requires a mounted SD card (or ExternalStorage). I know that it might not be the best way to require something like that, but the application will work with quite a lot of data, and I don't even want to think about storing that on the device storage.Anyway, to ensure that the application wont run without the external storage, I do a quick check in the activities onCreate method. If the card is not mounted, I want to display an error message and then quit the application.When I run the application, and the exception gets raised (I raise it manually to check if everything works), the error message is displayed correctly. However when I press the button, the application closes and I get an Android error, that the application was closed unexpectedly (and I should force exit).I read some topics before on closing an application, and I know that it maybe shouldn't happen like that. But how should I instead prevent the application from continuing to run? How do you close the application correctly when an error occurs?

View 7 Replies View RelatedCan someone tell me how to close all activities running under a tab?My initial activity does not need a tabbed view. Therefore, to initiate a tab for the next (remaining) activities, I call a class that extends TabActivity, from the first tab.All this class does is to assign and call activities based on the tab click.Currently, to close all activities i am using StartActivityforResult.But in this case, while calling activites from the TabHost, setContent does not accept a result code as a parameter.Help me to solve this one. My application is stranded in a blank screen before closing. i.e. in the TabActivity class.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI started to develope an application. When I wanted to close the application I clicked on the home screen, but the app is still playing in the background. Than I tried to click on the "back" key, but nothing happend, so I've created a key event listener for the 'back" key, and inside that method I wrote finish(); Now my app is closing but I think it's still running in the background, because when I go to "manage applications" I can still see it in the "running" tab, and if I press it, I see I can click on the "force close" to actually close the app. What do I need to do in order to really close the app without leaving it open (one way or another)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have uploaded application to market and met weird problem which I never received before - when I click "Open" button when the application is installed I receive error dialog and the application is forced to close. I do not have this problem when start application from desktop launcher panel. I have already receive 2 stars for that though the exception even comes not from my cod - very unpleasant surprize from market app.
Application uses vibration and declares corresponding uses-permission "android.permission.VIBRATE" - this is what the exception tells me about, but I can't see such problem with other apps that use vibration on market.
Here the exception:
CODE:..............
Here is application manifest:

the problem is that this button doesn't exit of my app... it simply closes the current intent ant returns to the previous intent (window) of my app.... how i can do a real exit/close button? i tryed with this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
but it doesn't works, because when i turn back into my app, the app comes in the last opened window, and not in the first window of the app, how i can do that? i need that when i re-open my app it starts on the first window of my app

I've researched this topic and I think there's 'onTerminate' but still not sure how this should be implemented.
My application starts a remote service and binds to it. If I close the application with the "back" button there are still some threads running (listed in the Debug View of Eclipse) - main thread, and three Binder threads. In onDestroy() I call unbindService(service_connection) - is there something else to clean up?
