Hey guys,
In an effort to 'hack' the Sense homescreen to use a custom launch/shortcut bar, I am creating an app that needs to know if the homescreen is currently visible. With this, I need some help.
I've been looking at four possibilities to do this:
1. constantly poll the window manager for the current activity. This works, however my battery doesn't like this and it's generally bad practice.
2. Use a widget to tell the service wether it's active. Too bad, Android doesn't seem to provide some kind of event to a widget when the homescreen is opened. Strange though, as you'd say this would be very useful when updating widgets. Am I overlooking something?
3. Watch the logcat or message broadcast. This works nicely to intercept a user moving away from the homescreen at it will output this when switching activities:
08-22 12:25:28.891: VERBOSE/HtcAppUsageStats(255): (launch app, package): (People, com.android.htccontacts)
I think I could intercept that, but then there's another problem. Pressing home broadcasts this message for com.htc.launcher, however using the back key (or even software options) to move back to the homescreen do not invoke this.
4. Intercept hardware presses. This seems rather hard when you don't want to actually do something with the presses. This combined with the above method would give me a decent way to see if the homescreen is active.
But all of those methods just don't work the way I want them to. Anyone got a clue on how to accomplish this? I don't mind if I require root access or some dirty programming, by the way. After all, it's some sort of a hack.
A push in the right direction would be very welcome
Quick kick. No one knows a solution for this?

If this is just for sense, have you checked the openSense sdk?
From something awesome
I haven't really looked into this, I also have no experience with widgets, but using my general knowledge in how Android works, concerning 2), does the widget not receive a visibility change? I know for LiveWallpapers there is a void VisibilityChanged(boolean visible) method that allows it to update when visible. Do Widgets not have this?

Couldn't find the documentation of it. But it must be somewhere, this is indeed another option to look into.

I've tried all the event listeners I could find in the reference. I don't remember the VisibilityChanged method thou, will look into that tonight. Otherwise I might be able to build a Live Wallpaper and hook it to a service.. Interesting
Thanks both!
Hi all,
I've been searching for a while but haven't found out a proper anti-theft profile for my phone. So i came here and ask if somebody wanna share one
I myself prefer Tasker than other standalone apps because i want a "center-hub" for all automatic tasks (RAM hogging is another reason)
So please share your anti-theft profile for Tasker which you like and use the most
Thanks in advance.
P.S: or should we wait for Google Android Device Manager?
any one got an idea?
Finding little information on this, i'd like to be able to use tasker to trigger things such as notifications or audio on the watch or send events to my phone, and preferable some mor eadvanced things so i can use the watch with my home automation, has anyone played around with this? i saw someone mention side loading apps somewhere but i lost the post, as i understand it LiteOS is a version of android so being able to load Tasker directly onto the watch would be nice.
Hello, I have the following problem, I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance on how to solve it. After turning off the engine, the bluetooth application is activated and mute mode is activated
You're going to need to post a whole lot more details for help.
Have a read though forums
What else is needed? Multimedia work with android 10 canbus OD-Mazda (OUDI)
I want only stop this Apps
Do you know Tasker?
Perhaps you could make a Tasker script to kill the app.
I will try, but if anyone knows a way without additional applications, please share
