[Q] Cursorloader causes weird behavior: e.g. onLoadFinished called continuously - Java for Android App Development

Hey @ all,
I am creating an own app! This is my app's structure: own Application tests for startup and base Activity is used to spread the navigation drawer under all the following activities. On of these activities uses fragments in order to show lists. Please see my attachment for a graphical visualization.
I followed the guide on the developers site. I am a couple of problems, I will enumerate them in the following:
onLoadFinished is called all the time (indicated through Logcat output). I also found that the underlying contentprovider's query method is called all the time. as an additional information: I use notifyChange() on datasource manipulating methods in the content provider.
The list loads the data which is nice. but as soon as I navigate to another activity - using the navigation drawer causes a finish() call of the activity containing the list fragment -, I get an exception: RuntimeException since activity can't be destroyed. Besides that, I get a NPE because the listfragment's adapter is null what I do not understand as well.
If you need further information, please let me know asap! I'd love to provide it if you could help me. This really makes me sad .
Thank you so much in advance and greetz

[Q] Add changelog/info pop-up at app start?

Hello! i have started making an app for android, and im really really a beginner. however, i got the app working (its a soundboard) but i would like a info screen to pop up when you start the app. i think its really easy to do, but i totally have no idea of how to doing it... can someone please help me?
bump... can someone help me quick with this minimal problem...
OK, this should be pretty simple.
Create a boolean value in the shared preferences, let's call it firstRun. In onCreate() you will check whether this value exists in the preferences. If it does not (or if it's set to true), you know it's the first run and you can show a dialog and set the value to false. If the value exists and is set to false (once you access the value for the first time it will automatically be created in the preferences), then you won't show anything as it is not the first run.
Showing a changelog is just an extension of this process.

[Q] ActionBarSherlock - Tabbed navigation AND integrated spinner possible?

Hi all,
Title really says it all. I have a tabs set up at the moment but I want to add a spinner to the action bar as well. To use as sort of a category tool. So a user can go through the tabs but also simply what they are seeing by selecting something from the dropdown spinner.
I've seen tutorials for a spinner in the actionbar and they require the navigation to be changed to list
Code:
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);
Mine at the moment is of course
Code:
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
Is it possible to have both? I have a title and tabs underneath to the title action bar is empty at the moment, a perfect place for a spinner. This is what I have right now: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/ppuv-FP6c4w/maxresdefault.jpg I'd like to be able to add a spinner that is always showing where it says 'ABS ViewPager Tabs'
Any help would be appreciated. Haven't found a tutorial that integrates both yet.

Since the ActionBarSherlock library is closesly related to the native action bar, I googled and found this similar question. It seems that, using these libraries it is not possible, however there are several methods to use instead (but those aren't so nice).
Bugger. Guess I could try doing it with a custom view and work from there like shown in that link. Hmmm, might have to rethink how my app lets users navigate.
That stuff that I plan to put in the spinner has to be somewhere so I guess I should look to creating this custom actionbar thingy. Hopefully the output is smooth. Already using a ViewPager that the guy who answered mentioned so this may not be too hard.

Thanks, I'll give that watch.
I'm currently using GridViews with custom adapters to show my content under each tab so if I could have an onClick change what the getView() method of the adapter shows to a user I could just keep it really simple and have simple buttons instead of a spinner.
That seems like a good option at the moment.

[Q] Make invisible WebView emit onDraw() event

Hi all
My question will be quite strange but is what I need unfortunately. Basically I need to create an invisible WebView instance (invisible mean not showed inside the activity) and get screenshot from the showed web page every time something change in the page. No problem from get screenshot, the problem is the way to be advised when something change inside the web page currently loaded into my webview. Please note, changes I need to get can be also some images changed "on the fly" by javascript code inside the page, these kind of "events" can no be detected by standard calls like onloadpagefinished or so on (since images changed are preloaded). Another problem can be when images are fully downloaded by the browser but not yet showed in the view (in case of slow CPU per example). Normally I could to easily fix my problem by overriting the onDraw() event of the webview. Every time onDraw() event is emitted mean that something is changed into the view and I need to get new screenshot. Unfortunately my problem is onDraw() event is emitted only if the view is currently visible inside the activity. If the view is "hidden" or "offscreen" as my case the onDraw() event is not emitted since, obviously, doesn't need it. Android views lifecycle explained in the main android developer site show why this happen (the view is set in pause state once out of visible activity part). Now my question is: is there a way to "force" the view to manage onDraw() event as it would be showed but in offscreen mode like my case?
Thank you to all will can help me

[Q][solved] Beginner problem with OnCreateOptionsMenu

Hi,
I'm a french Android rookie, so excuse my english and my perhaps naive questions...
I am developing an app for Android (minSdk 14).
My main activity is a Processing PApplet, which has to be fullscreen, without an action bar.
From this activity, I want to launch a view to pass variables to my applet. I use onCreateOptionsMenu to open the options menu.
When I press the only item on this menu, I launch a "activity_settings"activity.
So far so good, but it bothers me that the user has to press the Options button, then the "Settings" button in the options menu.
So I tried to directly launch my "activity_settings" activity in onCreateOptionsMenu, without inflating the options menu.
It works the first time, but then "activity_settings" doesnt want to open any more ...
If I do the same thing using onPrepareOptionsMenu instead of onCreateOptionsMenu, it works and works again without problems ...
I do not understand why! If any nice coder wants to explain to me ... that would be nice!
Another issue, I cannot capture the size of an OnTouch event .
Code:
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
Log.d("Touched", String.valueOf(event.getSize()));
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
LogCat always shows "Touched" 0.0
Is it because of my device? Samsung GT7560 (Galaxy Trend)
Thank you in advance!

Regarding the onCreateOptionsMenu, It works the first time only because this method is called only once when the activity is created, and the options menu is created.
The onPrepareOptionsMenu is called every time it the menu is shown, like every time you go back to the activity (The activity is resumed not created).

For the second part of my question, it's definitely my device that isnt able to mesure pressure nor size of the touch.
Showing pointers from the dev options gave me the answer. Now I have to figure another way of capturing the touch size...

[WIDGET][YotaPhone2]Yota Toolbelt 1.0.4

Introduction
What is it?
Yota Toolbelt is my stab at developing something useful for the Yotaphone 2. It's a functional widget for the back screen, combined with a simple front screen widget. It has been tested on the latest Lollipop firmware (1.44).
What it does?
- The front screen widget allows you to toggle mirroring mode with a single click.
- The back screen widget allows you to toggle mirroring, wifi, Bluetooth, wifi tethering, ringer mode and YotaEnergy. Additionally you can place shortcuts to URLs to open your favorite websites quickly.
- The new "Contact list" action allows you to browse your contact list, make calls and send SMS's from it.

Installation instructions
I'm not going to bother putting this on Google Play because of the extra work with little benefit, so you have to install the apk manually. Here's how:
1. Check "allow installation of apps from unkown sources" from Settings - Security so that you can install the file.
2. Download the apk file and put it on your phone, or download it to your phone directly.
3. Open the apk file with some file manager and install it.
After this you can add the front screen widget like you would add any widget, by long pressing your home screen, selecting widgets, and then dragging the "Yota Toolbelt" on your home screen.
The back screen widget can be added from Yotahub.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Known issues
- This Widget requires Lollipop to work. No backwards compatibility.
- The battery widget doesn't have push effect. Also, toggling YotaEnergy on takes surprisingly long time. There's nothing I can do about that.

FAQ
The graphics.. They look.. ehrm..
- Awesome, right!? I'm a programmer, not an artist. If someone wants to create new graphics for the widget, I am very willing to change them. Each button should be the same size, at least 140x140px.
What are all these permissions?
- Bluetooth/Wifi/Network permissions are required for toggling wifi and Bluetooth directly without the system's dialogs.
- The vibration permission allows the buttons to vibrate on click.
- The READ_CONTACTS permission is for the new contact list portion, allowing it to list your contacts.
- The PHONE_CALL permission is for making a call using the front screen's dialer.
- The READ_PHONE_STATE is used for making the "lock EPD on dial" function work

For developers
I had to do some serious reverse engineering to figure out how to activate and deactivate the mirroring and YotaEnergy, so to save everyone's time, here's how to do it:
Activate mirroring from front screen:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START_MANUAL");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
Activate mirroring from back screen:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START_FROM_BS");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
Deactivate mirroring:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To check is mirroring on right now, and to lock the EPD (asynchronous):
Code:
ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
IFrameworkService mService = IFrameworkService.Stub.asInterface(service);
boolean isMirroringOn = mService.isMirroringOn();
mService.lockBackScreen();
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {}
};
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.GET_SERVICE_BINDER").setPackage("com.yotadevices.yotaphone2.bsmanager");
context.getApplicationContext().bindService(i, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
//Remember to unbind when you don't need the service anymore
To detect when mirroring is started, listen for the following broadcast:
Code:
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START
To detect when mirroring ends, listen for both of these broadcasts:
Code:
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP_MANUAL
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP
To turn YotaEnergy on:
Code:
final Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.POWERSAVE_START");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To turn YotaEnergy off:
Code:
final Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.POWERSAVE_STOP");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To open Yota's EPD browser:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.yotadevices.yotaphone.yd_browser", "com.yotadevices.yotaphone.yd_browser.BSBrowser"));
i.putExtra("URL_TO_OPEN", "http://www.google.com");
context.startService(i);

I am open to suggestions for functions to add. Functions I've considered:
Flashlight - this one's doable, but it seems a little pointless. How are you going to turn the flashlight on in the dark when there's no backlight on the EPD?
Volume/Vibrate/Silent toggle - Probably doable, but requires some work so that it's easy to use.
Rotation lock - Not sure about this, but pointless anyway. The rear screen doesn't support horizontal view in the first place, unless you're mirroring, and then you might as well use widgets on your front screen.
Airplane mode - This one requires root access, and is quite hacky to implement.
NFC toggle - Cannot be done without root.
GPS toggle - Cannot be done without root.
Any ideas?
Thanks for doing this.
You might want to add Hotspot and data network
Would you be able to add Shortcuts? That would be very useful and its a shame the stock app does not allow this.

I'll look into your suggestions. I think the hotspot function required root access, and that is not very user friendly.
About the shortcuts - Isn't the stock Apps Launcher widget exactly what you're looking for?

the stock app allows links to apps only. Shortcuts are a subset of apps that can be added to the desktop. Eg in Google Maps you can create a shortcut on your homescreen that starts directions to a pre set destination. Or eg Chrome allows shortcuts to websites to be placed on the homescreen.
Edit: This may be beyond the scope of this widget. Apologies

Ah, I see. I've never used these before.
It is possible yes, but the biggest issue here is how you create and associate them to the widget. By default the shortcuts are created by the applications, like Chrome and Google Maps, and those applications send the shortcut Intent to the Launcher application. There is no way of telling the system that the shortcut should show up on this widget.
It probably could be possible to create these shortcuts manually for supported applications, like Chrome, but that would require quite a lot of work.
Nice work @Jeopardy! Thanks for sharing some dev notes too, might be useful for future widgets/apps.
PS You could officially kick off the "YotaPhone Original Android Development" device subforum with your widget (0 threads there now).

Since I am using the "default" black theme I would prefer to have an option to switch between "black" and "white" version. I already created the changed images to basically switch your images to "all transparent" with white icons and a white circle around them for "pressed status". Since I am a new user I can't attach them to the post yet. Can you tell me a way to share them with you?
Besides that: can you share the sources of your widget to allow us to build upon it ourselves?
Thanks for your work on this!

I just sent you a private message about those images.
I'll consider sharing the source later. At the moment it is rather messy and very much hardcoded. I am currently rewriting the configuration Activity to allow rearranging of the icons and adding some new functions. It will take some time for me to finish this to a level I'm satisfied with.

I just released an update which addresses your idea of shortcuts for system's default browser (Chrome) and EPD's browser. Now the widget's framework is so flexible that it is very easy to add new shortcut targets. The only problem (still) is that the shortcuts have to be created manually from the widget, which means relatively complex dialogs. Shortcuts for browser is extremely handy, but can you think of some other app whose shortcuts would be as useful?

That was to be expected. I don't think they included the SDK library until Lollipop. Sorry.
Major update
Okay, here's a new update for you guys.
First off, the minor (but important fixes) include fixing nonresponsive buttons if the device has been inactive for a long time, and some minor optimizations.
The big new function is a fully functional contacts list! I had been working on this for a while, waiting for Yota to update their caller app so I wouldn't have to do it. But it seems they are busy doing something else. So I became impatient and decided to include it here, as it needs an EPD widget anyway to launch it. So just add the contact list widget to the toolbelt from options, open it from the back screen, and you can browse all your contacts (with phone numbers) and then call them directly from the EPD. It also supports sending SMS's, but the catch is that it uses the front screen SMS editor via mirroring, not Yota's sleek EPD editor. The reason for this is there's no way to hook up to Yota's editor.
While I was building this update I also noticed quite serious security flaw in Yota's EPD dialer app. By default if you want to make a phone call from your app you need to add android.permission.CALL_PHONE to your manifest. However, I found out that Yota has left their EPD dialer app completely open for any app to ask for immediate phone call (like mine does), without any permissions what-so-ever. What were they thinking?
It also became frustratingly clear how bad the SDK is at the moment. The documentation is nonexistent, and you cannot even create dialogs. So many workarounds had to be made to make this work nicely.
But anyways, let me hear your opinions and experiences. There's bound to be some bugs somewhere and there's plenty of room to expand the contact list portion, provided I have the time.
Looking forward to trying the newest version. Thanks for building this!
You might want to consider contacting the Indiegogo campaign folks, as it looks like you've earned yourself a free phone. I can't post the link because I guess I'm too new a user on here, but if you look at the updates and scroll down to "25 days ago":
FYI: If anyone successfully develops an application or service to work natively for the "always on" display I will reward them with a YotaPhone 2 for FREE at the end of the campaign!

Wow, might as well try it. Thanks for the info!
Hi thanks for standing in where yota appear to lack
just downloaded and installed but although the contacts list works well the phone dialer doesnt but i do have a call confirm slider app (used to stop wrongly dialed numbers) which could block this (it does the same with yota dialer)
only way i have managed to work around this is to mirror the android dialer app but would be nice if you could? do anything?
like your commitment to develop - think you should look at a donate function somewhere..would buy you a coffee or two for your efforts

Basically what I do, is ask the official EPD dialer to make the phone call for me. If your call confirm slider app blocks the yota dialer, it will also block this. I guess you cannot add exceptions to the caller app? (Probably not, knowing Android's telephony API...)
An ugly workaround for your specific case would be for me to turn mirroring on when you press the call-button from my contacts list, and then ask the system's default dialer to make the call. Then your call confirm slider app would show up normally in the mirrored mode and you could finish the call. I might consider adding this later on as a setting somewhere, but no promises. It would be a lot cleaner if the mirroring mode would not be needed to finish the call, because turning it on takes quite a while and is a hassle to deal with when trying to do simple actions.
What is the name of the app you are using? I'll take a look.

It would be a lot cleaner if the mirroring mode would not be needed to finish the call, because turning it on takes quite a while and is a hassle to deal with when trying to do simple actions.
What is the name of the app you are using? I'll take a look.
