I have been using a hand built ListActivity as my AppWidget config Activity but to be honest it looks ****ty and doesnt fit in with the rest of the app. So i wanted to transition over to a PreferenceActivity. i made a stub of a PreferenceActivity that launches the layout just fine when it is the main activity. but when i try to change from my ListActivity to my PreferenceAcitivity i get no launching of PreferenceActivity when i launch my widget. all i get is my widget.
i did a refactoring of my xml files to change the instances of my ListActivity (GITextConfig) to my PreferenceActivity (GITextPreferences).
how can i use a PreferenceActivity as my config?
do i need to have a dummy Activity be the config with a button to launch the PreferenceActivity? cause that works just fine. its lame and shouldnt be that way... nvm that does not work... i just cant get a prefs activity to run from an appwidget
anyone? this is quite annoying... i know it can be done as other widgets like gmail unread count does this. at least it appears to have a preferenceactivity as the configuration
got it to work. i dont know what i was doing before but i think i had a little too much of a stub for it to work. after i implemented the appwidget id verification and created my PreferenceManger and overode the onBackPressed() method it seems to work.... happy and confused.
Code:
public class GITextPreferences extends PreferenceActivity {
private int mAppWidgetId = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
PreferenceManager localPrefs = getPreferenceManager();
localPrefs.setSharedPreferencesName("GITC_Prefs");
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.gitc_preferences);
// Find the widget id from the intent.
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
mAppWidgetId = extras.getInt(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
}
// If they gave us an intent without the widget id, just bail.
if (mAppWidgetId == AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) {
finish();
}
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// Make sure we pass back the original appWidgetId
Intent resultValue = new Intent();
resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, mAppWidgetId);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);
finish();
}
}
Hello app developers!
I have got serious problem. Every time I call alertdialogs or other dialogs I see them only in activity. But my app needs to show this dialog when user works on phone, that's why it must be shown out of activity. Any ideas?

You cannot do this. There is simply no feature for that. I have had that problem, too.
Use a Notification or a Toast message.
There is a work-around for this. If you run a service, you can technically launch an activity that can resemble this.
I have an app that uses a broadcast receiver to listen for the events I want to alert my user to. I created a custom layout for my alert dialog and then when the event happens, my broadcast receiver calls the activity.

Yes, great idea. Launch a transparent Activity and start a dialog. Set an onDismissListener and close the app when the dialog is closed.

If I start a transparent activity user can't see that it was started as I understand. Can you give code for broadcast receiver maybe I misunderstand something
The broadcast receiver is just the mechanism I use to launch the activity. It is a mere intent that I start from it. Below is the class I use for my alertdialog. You won't be able to cut and paste because I also created my own class to dismiss the activity.

I understood everything except the way how app switch between position before signal came and required activity with alert dialog in it. As I see this code initialize activity and alert dialog but don't contain switching that I need
Are you asking how I call the dialog? If so, a simple intent from a broadcast receiver.
Code:
Intent i = new Intent(context, SilentDialog.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
I would use the AlertDialog.Builder class for compatibility.
Why not use a notification, I think that is more elegant.
Code:
public class InstalledReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private NotificationManager mNotificationManager ;
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (BaseActivity.DEBUG) System.out.println("Received Broadcast");
Boolean update = intent.getBooleanExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REPLACING, false);
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService("notification");
SharedPreferences getPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
Boolean disabledNotifications = getPrefs.getBoolean("disableNotifications", false);
if (!disabledNotifications && !update) makeNotification(context);
}
private void makeNotification(Context context) {
CharSequence label = context.getString(R.string.labelNotify);
CharSequence text = context.getString(R.string.textNotify);
CharSequence full = context.getString(R.string.fullNotify);
final Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,text,System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context,label,full,null);
notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
mNotificationManager.notify( 0, notification);
}
}

I agree, but if he wants to use a dialog, we help him to make one.
The bad thing about the dialog is that it will interrupt whatever the user is doing. This could be very annoying. And who wants to use an app which has annoying popups?

When I use this code activity don't shows when I am out of application. For example Handcent SMS when SMS comes to user shows up a great dialog over all windows. My aim is the same thing

Ah. You need to call setContentView. Create a transparent View and pass it as a parameter.

Doesn't help:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d("NaviBeep","Here");
View view=new View(this);

}
});
// Set the Icon for the Dialog

If you use another layout, is the Activity opened?
Is the "Here" written to the log? Is there any Error message?
And I recommend configuring the AlertDialog within the AlertDialog.Builder: http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-alert-dialog-example/
(However, I guess that it will not solve your problem.)

I am currently trying to implement an app that has a service running until the user explicitly ends it via the app. I would like the service to remain on otherwise. My current problem is that whenever the app is removed from the recent apps, it terminates the service as well. I have tried using START_STICKY in my onStartCommand but it doesn't change anything.
Code:
public class TriggerService extends Service{
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// We want this service to continue running until it is explicitly
// stopped, so return sticky.
return START_STICKY;
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
and here is my code for when I call the service:
Code:
public void startServ(boolean state){
editor = sp.edit();
if (state == true) {
startService(new Intent(currentActivity, TriggerService.class));
editor.putBoolean("service_status", true);
toast = Toast.makeText(currentActivity, "Service Running", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
} else {
stopService(new Intent(currentActivity, TriggerService.class));
editor.putBoolean("service_status", false);
toast = Toast.makeText(currentActivity, "Service Not Running", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
}
editor.commit();
}
EDIT: I tried adding
Code:
android:isolatedProcess="true"
to the manifest but it didn't help. I tried a few things that were recommended over here but so far no dice

You are a god send. Tested the app on JB and the service stayed when I closed the app. Thank god.
In my app i just have a splash screen and a main activity. In the main thread i have three EditText boxes and a spinner with a string array. On clicking the Button, input from three EditText and spinner selection is posted to my mysql database. For the button click network operation, i used Volley since its east and i dont have to use AsyncTask which am not familiar with.
Apart from this, on entering the main UI .. app first check for network connectivity using ConnectivityManager class. After onClick app checks for empty/invalid imputs using TextUtils.
Now the problem is that when i run my app, its very slow and taking upto 65mb of RAM. IS something wrong with my code. Should i run something else as AsynTask ? Can someone check my code and refine it .. thank you

Well it's hard to say what exactly is wrong with it. Maybe text is to long. You can try to measure each operation performance with System.nanoseconds(easiest) and localize the problem first. It would be easier to say what to do with it.
Yes you should try to figure out what part is causing the problem. Try to cut the code down to essentials and measure the execution time. Maybe you will be able to tell what part exactly is not working as wanted.
I have an Activity that contains a Fragment with a ViewPager. Then I call a method of a Fragment within the ViewPager. But if that Fragment then calls getParentFragment(), it returns null.
Why is getParentFragment() null?
The main Fragment that contains a ViewPager:
Code:
public class MyFragment extends Fragment {
private TabLayout mTabLayout;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
private ViewPagerAdapter mAdapter;
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
View view = getView();
// Setup the ViewPager
mViewPager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.container);
setupViewPager(mViewPager);
// Setup the TabLayout
mTabLayout = (TabLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
mTabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);
}
// This method is called from Activity
public void callNestedFragment() {
if (isDetached()) {
return;
}
((Fragment0) mViewPager.getItem(0)).testMethod();
}
}
The nested Fragment (inside mViewPager):
Code:
public class Fragment0 extends Fragment {
...
public void testMethod() {
if (isDetached()) {
return;
}
// Why is getParentFragment() null?
Log.i(TAG, "Parent fragment:" + getParentFragment());
return;
}
}
The ViewPagerAdapter:
Code:
public class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private Context mContext;
public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager manager, Context context) {
super(manager);
mContext = context;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return new Fragment0();
case 1:
return new Fragment1();
case 2:
return new Fragment2();
case 3:
return new Fragment3();
case 4:
return new Fragment4();
}
return null;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return 5;
}
}
If more code is needed, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

mViewPager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.container);
setupViewPager(mViewPager);
// Setup the TabLayout
mTabLayout = (TabLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
mTabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);
}
// This method is called from Activity
public void callNestedFragment() {
if (isDetached()) {
return;
}
((Fragment0) mViewPager.getItem(0)).testMethod();
}
}
The nested Fragment (inside mViewPager):
Code:
public class Fragment0 extends Fragment {
...
public void testMethod() {
if (isDetached()) {
return;
}
// Why is getParentFragment() null?
Log.i(TAG, "Parent fragment:" + getParentFragment());
return;
}
}
The ViewPagerAdapter:
Code:
public class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private Context mContext;
public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager manager, Context context) {
super(manager);
mContext = context;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return new Fragment0();
case 1:
return new Fragment1();
case 2:
return new Fragment2();
case 3:
return new Fragment3();
case 4:
return new Fragment4();
}
return null;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return 5;
}
}
If more code is needed, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

:good:
I found the answer. If isDetached() is true, it doesn't mean getParentFragment() is not null.
So instead of the previous check in testMethod(), this is the new code:
Code:
public void testMethod() {
if (isDetached() && getParentFragment() != null) {
return;
}
...
}
I also now call the same method again in the onStart() method within Fragment0, where getParentFragment() should not be null.
