[android-beginners] Re: :Help needed
It is not recommended to send the Cursor object between Activities. Your sub-Activity, might not be int he same app, and so the Cursor would not be relevant. The recommended way to do this is to pass a content URI to the sub Activity and let the sub-Activity do the query by itself. If you know for sure that both Activities are in the same process you could use a global Cursor variable, but it is a very fragile approach. 2008/9/16 Imran [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi hey... how can i send a Cursor Object to my sub-Activity... if possible give me some sample code...

In the previous post I mentioned PhoneStateIntentReceiver...which has been removed in the latest sdk. Sorry for the confusion. It has now been replaced by PhoneStateListener(): http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/telephony/PhoneStateListener.html You can use this along with TelephonyManager to get notified of call state changes...like when the call comes in: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager.html 2008/9/9 Bill P.

[android-beginners] Re: porting from m5 to 0.9: app fails to start Activity
Did you launch emulator with -wipe-data? Can you provide the logcat output? You are also missing the uses-library tag for maps Api in your AndroidManifest.xml. 2008/9/4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I'm porting an app which runs well under m5 to 0.9 using Eclipse with ADT on Mac OSX 10.5.4 I appear to have made all necessary changes to get the app to compile and link: Eclipse doesn't complain. The bad behavior symptom is that the app basically fails to start. It simply hangs up before getting the Activity started in the debugger, displaying ActivityThread.class in Eclipse. Here's the DDL trace (sans datetime): Android Launch! adb is running normally. Launching: com.herenow.android.quester.Quester Automatic Target Mode: launching new emulator.

[android-beginners] Re: how to create a widget dynamically after setContenView
You can always create layouts programatically, and it is also possible to add widgets programatically to the layouts declared in xml files. All widgets provide constructors which you can use to create them programatically..There are methods corresponding to each xml attribute for any widget, so you can set properties programatically. Check out the documentation on widgets for those. For example, you can add a TextView to your xml declared layout as follows: LinearLayout l = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.widget27); TextView label = new TextView(this); label.setText(test); l.addView(label, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); Hope that helps. -Megha On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 5:47 PM, rukiman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok I want to be able to create a widget dynamically after a setContentView.

[android-beginners] Re: How to Create a Context
Hi Ray, The Activity and Service classes are subclasses of Context. So you can refer to the Context object by using the this object reference in OnCreate() method of you Activity or Service. Also, you would use broadcastIntent() if you want an IntentReceiver in the other application to receive the data, but if you want an Activity in the other application to receive that data you can use startActivity()(with NEW_TASK_LAUNCH flag) instead. In both cases you will make an Intent object and put data in its Extras bundle.

[android-beginners] Re: Concurrent DB Access
Hi Michael, The 'could not open field slot' error might be due to a single query returning more than 1MB of data, this is a known issue and has been fixed. The fix will be released with the next release of the SDK. SQLiteDatabase does full database level locking, so there shouldn't be any problems with concurrent access going on. The background service queries should be run on a seperate thread to avoid blocking the UI. The AsyncQueryHandler class can be used for constructing non-blocking queries without writing the threading code yourself.
