RE: [android-beginners] closing multiple activities
Start the Activity using startActivityForResult(Intent, int). Use finishActivity (int requestCode) : This force to finish another activity that you had previously started with startActivityForResult(Intent, int). Parameters requestCode: The request code of the activity that you had given to startActivityForResult(). If there are multiple activities started with this request code, they will all be finished. -Original Message- From: android-beginners@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-beginn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tollas Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2010 12:36 AM To: Android Beginners Subject: [android-beginners] closing multiple activities I have 3 activities, activityA, activityB & activityC. I want to add a menu button NEW SEARCH that will destroy/finish all 3 and start a new activityA. I do not want to finish the activities as they process as I want the user to be able to navigate between the 3 unless the NEW SEARCH menu option is chosen. I guess basically I want to know how to finish activityB & C from activityA. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!

RE: [android-beginners] Re: Unable to start service
You can use getApplicationContext() or current class.this (means if your class name is Abc then use like this Abc.this) -Original Message- From: android-beginners@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-beginn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bret Foreman Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 10:32 PM To: Android Beginners Subject: [android-beginners] Re: Unable to start service Intent.setClass needs a Context for the first argument. Replacing cb.getContext with "this" causes a compiler error. Do you mean I should call getApplicationContext?

RE: [android-beginners] Location Provider Questions
You can use LocationManager.getBestProvider() function with some Criteria to get the good provider. If you have ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission access then you can use both gps/network provider. Detail you can check in LocationManagerService.java under checkPermissionsSafe() function. -Original Message- From: android-beginners@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-beginn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jake Colman Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 5:12 PM To: android-beginners@googlegroups.com Subject: [android-beginners] Location Provider Questions My widget needs to know its location but does not care whether it gets it from the GPS or the network. If I can get a finer location from the GPS that's fine. But if the GPS is not enabled or does not exist in the device, than I will use what I can get. I have some questions related to this: 1) Do I need both 'fine' and 'coarse' permissions to indicate that I can use both? Or will 'fine' also use the network if the GPS is not available. I don't want the user to think that a GPS is required in order for the application to work. But I do need to get lat/long one way or the other. 2) Is best practice still to do a backwards search through the list of available providers and to use the best one I find? 3) When setting up the location listener or intent to track location changes you have to specify the provider to use. But what if want to simply use the cheapest provider available?
