[Help] How launch an Activity or dialog from background

Hello, I'm starting with Android and I'm trying to program a timer which launch an application or an AlertDialog, even if the application is in background. I know it is very invasive for the user but is necesary cause it show an important alarm that must be handled instantly.
Thats the code I used, but only works if MainActivity is the current activity =(
Code:
Timer time=new Timer();
teme.schedule(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
Intent dialog = new Intent(MainActivity.this., Alarm.class);
dialog.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND);
startActivity(dialog);
}
}, delay);
Can someone help me please?

Going to have to run it as a Service

You have MainActivity.this is why MainActivity has to be running.
When you start an activity, update the reference, and then call:
[whateverActivityIsRunning].this

Aditionally, you may try launching another thread under your process, this however will not work if your app was force closed by system or user.
Code:
private void dodelayed(int delay, Intent someintent){
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override public void run(){
//If that dialog is custom class then someintent.setclass(this,classname.class);
startActivity(someintent);
}
},delay);
}

Thanks guys, starting the activity from a service works nice for my target.
Now i'm trying a new thing:
I start the service in my app, then i open another app, Angry Birds for example xD. The startActivity tiggers and my app comes to front with a Activity that shows a message and a button.
I want a button click hide the Activity and move Andry Birds back to front.
How could I do it? Thanks!

finish();

With finish() I go to the last Activity of my app before it went to background =(

Do you know what that last activity is? You could set a variable in it to call from your other activity telling it to also finish.
You could also try something like this:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#reparent

The "Love & Hate" of Android OS.
finish(); will only pop the last Activity on it's OWN thread and not Angry Birds as it is running on it's own thread (well VM actually).
The OS was designed this way; they didn't want any old application dumping something else that was running...makes sense to me.
I don't know what you're doing, but it sounds like it's working OK to me. Say I'm in the middle of creating a text, your timer goes off (for whatever reason I don't know), I respond to it and go about my texting. I would be more than upset if your timed event blew me out of my texting!!! Your app would be in the trash bin pretty quickly.
Might need a little more info on what you're trying to do...

My app wont be comercial. It reads from a bluetooth device checking for alarms, if any, gives the user some time for cancell it, else its sent to the main server.
I want do something like whatsapp application. where, if you activate the emergent notifications. when you receive an message a alertdialog is shown. But you can cancell it and continue with your stuff
See that screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

for such notifications, first create an activity with normal textview and buttons and remember to use layout_width and height as wrap_content, then in your application manifest use the following
Code:
<activity android:name="activity"
android:label="Title"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
now when you call this activity from a service, a dialog box such as in the picture above depending on your layout xml will be shown. and when you call finish() through a button on this dialog, the focus will be passed to angry birds since this activity was launched from a parent with no UI.

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks!

Sorry, you are limited to five thanks per day

[Q]Showing preference screen activity

Hey guys,
I'm still learning to make android apps and now I'm writing small apps...Today I wrote a small app to test the scrolable tabs+ swipe created with blank activity.I need to show show contents of a PreferenceScreen xml.So I created a xml and added a new class:
Code:
public class About extends PreferenceActivity{
[user=1299008]@supp[/user]ressWarnings("deprecation")
[user=439709]@override[/user]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.info);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.layout.info);
}
}
And then found that the below code is responsible for the screens and so done this:
Code:
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
Locale l = Locale.getDefault();
switch (position) {
case 0:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
"com.example.testy","com.example.testy.About"));
startActivity(intent);
return getString(R.string.title_section1).toUpperCase(l);
case 1:
return getString(R.string.title_section2).toUpperCase(l);
case 2:
return getString(R.string.title_section3).toUpperCase(l);
}
return null;
}
}
Now the thing is that,I need the app to show the contents of xml directly on section1 instead of opening an activity above.Also noted that,when I go to section2,The activity is opened once and when back to section1,twice.
I need to show completely different contents on section1 and section2 also that the contents should be directly on sections instead of opening a new activity over the main one.Sorry for confusing you.All the xml I use are in preferences.Thank you

Change your activity into a FragmentActivity. Then you will be able to add a PreferenceFragment. However, you will need to show the content of your screen in a Fragment instead of the "normal" way of doing it in the onCreate method. Add a Fragment there and if you want to show the preferences, add a new one on the top. It will not open a new Activity but just a new Fragment in the Activity.

Yes, change it to a FragmentActivity. It will act like the container of your Fragments. Then you will set the content by adding new Fragments on the top of each other.

[GUIDE] Create Transparent Demo pages on Android

Have you seen those apps with the really cool hand drawn arrows that show the users how the app works the first time they run it? Yeah I have too and I wanted to figure out how to do that. So I did. Now I'm going to show you also.
This is going to be pretty easy and we'll do it for Activities and Fragments so all your apps will be covered.
The first thing you'll need to do is draw the pictures that we'll place over the Activity/Fragment. I draw mine on Gimp but you can use whatever drawing tool you want. I recommend you draw them 480 X 760 px. You'll want to set your background as Transparent. Here is a sample of what I've done.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's easy enough. I recommend you draw these as you go, I've found that I needed to edit the images to make sure they are pointing to the exact right place on the screen.
Next up we'll create an XML layout for each image that you want to use in your app. We'll create a LinearLayout with an embedded ImageView. The ImageView will display our beautiful art from above. Make sure to give the LinearLayout an ID, set the background to @null. As for the ImageView you'll need to give it an ID also and set the source to the image file you drew previously. Be sure to put the image in the res/drawable folder, make sure the image file name is all lower case and it is a .png file type. Again you will need to create as many of these XML layouts as you did images above.
overlay_activity.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/llOverlay_activity"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background= @null"
androidrientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/ivOverlayEntertask"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/activity_overlay" />
</LinearLayout>
We are going to control when this is displayed to the user with SharedPreferences. Utilizing SharePreferences gives us the ability to show the tutorial on the first run of the app and also allows the user to see it again by selecting it in the apps Settings menu.
We'll need to create a folder under /res/ named /xml, so you'll end up with /res/xml. Now let's create a new XML layout for our preferences. In Eclipse you'll choose File New > Android XML file. Change the Resource Type to Preference, then name the file exactly this prefs.xml and click Finish.
Next we'll add a CheckBoxPreference with the following attributes:
android:defaultValue="true"
android:key="tutorial"
android:summary="Enable tutorial on device"
android:title="Tutorial"
So your final prefs.xml file will look exactly like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<CheckBoxPreference
android:defaultValue="true"
android:key="tutorial"
android:summary="Enable tutorial on device"
android:title="Tutorial" />
</PreferenceScreen>
Now let's look at how to show this to the user from our Activity or Fragment. First we'll determine if our tutorial CheckBoxPreferene is set to true and if so we'll display the drawing on top of the current Activity/Fragment.
Create and instance of SharedPreferences and a boolean to store the value:
SharedPreferences setNoti;
boolean showTut;
Then in our OnCreate we'll get the value for our tutorial CheckBoxPreference and if ti's true we'll overlay the image onto our Activity/Fragment:
setNoti = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
// SharedPref tutorial
showTut = setNoti.getBoolean("tutorial", true);
if (showTut == true) {
showActivityOverlay();
}
Now for the last part we'll create the method to display the overlay. We will create a Dialog and apply a translucent theme with no title bar, this provides a dialog that covers our activity but doesn't hide our notification bar.
private void showActivityOverlay() {
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this,
android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.overlay_activity);
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) dialog
.findViewById(R.id.llOverlay_activity);
layout.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
layout.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
dialog.show();
}
We'll use a method like this whereever we want to display the overlay to our users. When we get to the last overlay it is best to change the value in our SharedPreferences so we don't continue showing the overlays to the user. We do that with this variation on our above method where in the onClick we update the SharePreferences to set our tutorial to false.
private void showActivityOverlay() {
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(getActivity(), android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.overlay_activity);
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) dialog
.findViewById(R.id.llOverlay_activity);
layout.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
layout.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// Get SharedPrefs
PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues(getActivity(), R.xml.prefs, true);
SharedPreferences setNoti = PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity());
setNoti.edit().putBoolean("tutorial", false).commit();
showTut = false;
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
dialog.show();
}
And there you have it! As I mentioned at the begging of this post, this can be applied to an Activity or a Fragment. You'll notice in the last method instead of using the context of "this" I'm using the context of "getActivity()", that is the only change you have to make for this to work with a Fragment.
I am publishing the full code on my GitHub. Please feel free to leave comments, questions or your own pointers below.

Personally, I'd use Inkscape to create them as a *.svg and convert them to a *.png file later. That way they will not look pixelated.

Great. Thank you.
The only thing which would be even better now would be using
Code:
tags. ;)
I didn't do much with it. However, scaling SVGs looks much better because they consist of single lines and shapes which can be rendered for all densities.
The disadvantage is that it is more difficult to create good-looking graphic effects in SVG.

I just found the Showcaseview library. It looks very promising.

Why do you think so?
Shouldn't this work? Correct me if I am wrong.
Code:
ShowcaseView.ConfigOptions co = new ShowcaseView.ConfigOptions();
co.hideOnClickOutside = true;
sv = ShowcaseView.insertShowcaseView(R.id.buttonBlocked, getActivity(), R.string.showcase_main_title, R.string.showcase_main_message, co);
(Code based on this: https://github.com/Espiandev/Showca...andev/showcaseview/sample/SampleActivity.java)

I agree that it should, however it does not. I've emailed the developer and he said he will work on it. If you want to use ShowcaseView in an activity it works very well.

I always use another trick:
Code:

The result:
Code:
android:[B][/B]orientation
That allows you to use smileys in other parts of the post.

Need help with really small app

I have the Android SDK and Eclipse downloaded and I can get it work properly. However, there doesn't seem to be any commands anywhere, like, am I supposed to know all of the JAVA commands by memory to use this tool???
I only want a very simple app that does this:
- When screen is off, turn WIFI off
- When screen is on, Turn WIFI on
That's it. I don't need any fancy menu or anything, it can run in the background for what I care, it's just that Stamina mode doesn't work with these roms and bootloaders and whatever, so I need this app to save me some power.
I reckon it'd be pretty easy for anyone who knows java, so maybe I could get someone to post a code for me?
Thanks in advance

You don't need to know everything by memory but you do need to know the basics.
For example, you need to know the difference between an Activity and a Service and determine which one you would want to use.
For your app, you would need a Service and a BroadcastReceiver.
Your BroadcastReceiver would capture the intents of the screen turning on and off:
http://thinkandroid.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/handling-screen-off-and-screen-on-intents/
You would then call your service from your broadcastreceiver to do the work of turning off your wifi:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8863509/how-to-programmatically-turn-off-wifi-on-android-device
Be sure to add the proper permissions in your manifest file that allows you to read and change wifi state.

Ok, so now I know how the code should be, but there's just one more thing.
How in the world can anyone program a user interface with text only??? This program is certainly not easy to use, I don't even know where to put the code with all of those different folders.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do I even need all of those commands/folders? I tried deleting all that stuff and putting in the code but I got lots of errors obviously.
So if you would please tell me:
- Where to put the code
- How to make an interface like this one with radio buttons or something, a switch might be easier
I don't want anything fancy, just a super basic app
I suppose the code would look like this:
Code:
package selecm.wwf; //your package name
import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WifiManager wm;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
public class ScreenReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
// THANKS JASON
public static boolean wasScreenOn = true;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
wm.setWifiEnabled(false)
wasScreenOn = false;
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
wm.setWifiEnabled(true)
wasScreenOn = true;
}
}
}
And then make these in the manifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
Am I right?

Your user interface is located in the "res/layout" folder. It is most likely called activity_main.xml.
Also, I would recommend keeping your BroadcastReceiver separate from your activity. It makes things cleaner to debug and easier to build on.

After doing some playing and spending more time on this then I planned, using a service does not work reliable with the broadcast receiver. I am not sure how logical google was with the thought process of requiring some intents that can only be registered in code. With that limitation, your activity would need to be running to receive the intent from the screen being turned off or on.

I'm not sure what your asking, if you have read about stateListDrawabes and have understood it, also maybe even looked at examples, then you should know ? Open that resource, or even clone it and edit it how you want.

well fyi you should look at the view type "states" as not sure you want android.R.attr.state_pressed ... neways you probably want state_focused and state_enabled for an editText view, but really google should provide you with simple absolute answers
hope that clears it up neways
