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 .
On the LG Dare when I couldn't pick up my phone and I had to ignore a call after I pressed ignore it gave me the option to send a quick text which was a presaved text message to the person who was calling me. Can the incredible do this? Or there an app that can?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been having a problem with my desire home screen (in particular the sms icon) and I'm wondering if anyone else knows how to fix it.
Recently my messages icon has been showing the little "1" in a green circle indicating I have an unread message. Problem is, I've gone through every list of messages I have on the device and there are no messages I haven't read and the "1" stays there. The only ways I've found to get rid of it are to either delete the icon and then put it back or to use Advance Task Killer and kill messages application. I'm not using any fancy apps for messages, just the default one.
My email counter is always perfect, this only seems to affect my sms. Also, my girlfriend told me she sent me a message a few days ago, but I never received it. Not sure if that's a happy coincidence, or if the phone got the message, is telling me I haven't read it, but isn't displaying it for me to see. All the other messages from her are plainly visible.
If you can do video calling on my htc desire.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've just received android 2.2 on the desire and like many wanted to use the new voice dialing!!! The only widget I can find is "voice search" but this seems to not be dialing specific and may choose to search the web for you etc. My question: Is there a dialing specific voice command widget, if not how do I do it properly?
I have a parrot bluetooth kit which usually prompts a phone to ask for a voice command. The desire although linked, doesn't seem to respond.
Is it possible to withhold your number on the Desire so that the receiver does not see your number or your ID when you call them? Can't see this option anywhere in the Settings.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got myself an HTC Desire the other day and so far I'm pretty much in love. However! In my contacts, I've got it set to only show Phone contacts, and I've hidden Sim/Gmail contacts. I've also linked all my contacts with their Facebook profiles. So in my contacts list (People), it's fine. However, when I go to messaging and start typing a name in the To field, there's a duplicate of everyone. As far as I can see, there's no similar "hide SIM" option etc for the texting/calling, so I'm just wondering how to sort this? I saw someone to try deleting all phone contacts and just using your SIM contacts but to be honest I'd rather not do this, since I like to just use my SIM contacts as a basic backup if you get me.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have to frequently use an international calling service where I have to go through several prompts to make calls.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking to make modifications to this application:
https:[url]....
The app is used to control LED lighting, but looks really basic.
I am also wondering if it is possible to set sleep timers and wake up alarms on the app (or would this be hardware related)?
I have problems to put the light positioning in the right place.
When I position the light after glClear and glLoadIdentity as in the code example I have produced and added to this message, there is a flicker like never seen before.
If I on the other hand only set the light position once (in the ), sometimes when I run my app, the scene becomes unlit.
My issue is the soft keys don't light up most of the time. Are there settings for these? Does anyone know if there if anyone else having this issue?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI noticed earlier that my Home, Menu, Back, and Search buttons decided to start lighting up randomly. It did this on and off for a few minutes. Anyone else seen this happen to their Incredible? Do you think it's an application? Because there were no actual notifications or alerts at the time. This isn't the first time I've seen this happen either. . .

View 13 Replies View RelatedSo I got the Samsung Moment last Friday and brought it home. After changing the background and getting some random apps (barcode scanner, discovery, zedge, bbc), I noticed the screen kept lighting up randomly 8 to 10 times in a row. Luckily for me, a drunk man smashed my brand new Moment the Sunday after I got it so Asurion sent me another one the next day. The new one does the exact same thing and I want to smash it (even sober). Anyone running into this? I've read on some blogs that people had the same problems when they upgraded.The keyboard sold me on this phone but if this is going to keep happening I'm getting a new one.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI got home from a trip today, where my phone had been sitting at a low charge for a bit. I managed to get it a high enough charge to hold out, but it died by the time I was in my house and hooked it up to the charged. The Amber LED is not lighting up like it is charging, which has me worried. I have switched between different USB cables, and also from the wall to a USB. Is it normal for the LED to not light up if the battery is absolutely drained? Also, any USB mini cable should work, correct?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a little 3D engine for android to better learn the platform and opengl. I hope to eventually use it as a base for little 3D games.
I'm trying to implement lighting right now, and generally following the NeHe opengl android port tutorials. I have a simple spinning cube and 1 light that should not change position. Upon rendering my scene on a device the light appears to "dim" and re-lighten as cube rotates.
This is a swf video of the behavior:
http://drop.io/obzfq4g
The code for my "engine" is located here: [url]
The relevant bits are:
[url]
This is where I'm initializing opengl and setting up my scene. and [url]this is the code for actually rotating / drawing the cube mesh.
I wish I could formulate a better question; but I'm very stuck/confused and can't even think of an intelligent question to ask besides "does anyone know what might cause the kind of behavior I'm seeing?"
Also the slowness / choppyness of the animation in the video is a result of the screencap software. It's smooth throughout the whole rotation on the emu.
Only had my Hero for 3 days but something I have noticed has happened twice and is happening at the moment.
I have no new notifications but the tracker ball is lighting up every 5 seconds or so. What does that mean?
So occasionally I set my phone down with the keyboard still open. For some reason periodically the keyboard will flash quickly. It's not because I'm going in and out of service, as the phone is not moving, just sitting on my desk. No alerts or notifications are sounding, no noise at all, just the lights. Any idea why it does this?

The house charger that came with my phone in the box works perfect. I plug it in and the phone shows charging and then the screen goes out after the 30 seconds I have it set for while its charging.
I bought a Rocketfish charger from BB to have an extra one I can leave downstairs. When I charge the phone with it, after about 5 minutes the screen lights up on my phone and stays lit until I unplug the charger. Then the phone will go back out like it should.
I though there might be a difference so my nephew gave me his home charger he dont need. Its the charger sprint sent him by mistake for his phone. He has the Blackberry and they sent him the micro-usb wall charger. He gave it to me and when I plug my phone in with that charger the screen lights up and never goes out until I unplug the charger. I dont want to mess up the phone and was just wondering if there is still a difference with the chargers even though they are all micro-usb chargers?
I rooted and flashed EE 2.0.1. like it a lot but need the soft keys to be lighting up . anyway, when i make or get phone calls the party on the other end complains of echoes?.is that maybe affiliated to this Rom or is there a known fix?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI noticed that a tiny spider on the wall next to my desk liked to chase a laser pointer...I also noticed that the strobe mode of my flashlight caused the spider to become disoriented and not chase the laser pointer.Anyway I decided to make a video of this on my Incredible. I recorded spider+laser and then added the strobe for a total video of about a minute..everything seemed to go well for the recording. When I played it back though, after the strobe started, the strobe frequency started to slow down and then the image froze while the time counter kept going. This is a pretty fast strobe of at least 10 Hz (just a guess on my part).I panicked a little thinking I fried a sensor somewhere, but I recorded another video that worked fine. Remember this wasn't a direct hit of the strobe, but bouncing off a nearby white wall WITH all room lights on.
