[android-developers] Trying to change the screen brightness programmatically
Well after taking a few days off its time to hit the bricks again. So here
I am asking for help as to why my program is not setting the brightness
requested... Here is the code I have so far.
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.provider.Settings.SettingNotFoundException;
import android.view.WindowManager;
public class bright extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
int brightnessMode = 0;
try {
brightnessMode = Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE);
} catch (SettingNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (brightnessMode == Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_AUTOMATIC) {
Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE,
Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_MANUAL);
}
WindowManager.LayoutParams layoutParams = getWindow().getAttributes();
layoutParams.screenBrightness = 0.5F; // set 50% brightness
getWindow().setAttributes(layoutParams);
Intent i = new Intent(this, StartSpark.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
}
I heard some place that when you do things like this you need to send out a
new window in order for it to refresh and take on the new brightness
properties. So that is why I have the intent set up at the bottom.
I have been messing with this on my own for a while now but everything I am
trying is coming up dead... And not in the way I want it to be..
So what am I doing wrong?

[android-developers] running into an NPE error on a setText();
I'm working on a piece of code that is a settings activity for an app
widget. Right now I have the code set up that if takes the saved value of
the number and enters it into the text view of another activity via shared
settings. The issue I am running into is that when press the load button it
fires an NPE at me on the given line of code which is: Line 48
AKA: dataResults.setText(dataReturned); I will post the whole code for this
setting as well as its related logcat below:

Re: [android-developers] running into an NPE error on a setText();
The error is fixed, but now when I go to use the settings its not showing
what I have set. Should I open a thread for this?

Sometimes, the R values get a bit out of sync with other precompiled
Java code, and cleaning the project clears that up.
If the error persists, then apparently res/layout/widgetconfig.xml
does not have a widget named @+id/userNum, which is why dataResults
would be null.

[android-developers] Shared Pref data passing is not working.
right now I'm still working on the same code I posted from before I just
fixed the mentioned NPE, now the data I enter and load is not loading up
properly in another class. It saves with in the setting activity but as
soon as I call it into something else. It calls improper data into the area
I am trying to set it to. On top of all of this I'm building this as I
widget so after the Settings window is up I have to press home to get out
of it. How do I set this so it loads up the widget after I set the details
(I think this might be where the issue is coming from.). Its kinda like
burner on a stove. One ring goes out the whole burner is shot.
Either way here is the code(again)
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Settings extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
EditText sharedData;
Context c;
TextView dataResults;
public static String filename = sharedString;
SharedPreferences someData;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.widgetconfig);
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnwidgetconfig);
Button b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.loadBtnWidgetConfig);
c = Settings.this;
b.setOnClickListener(this);
b1.setOnClickListener(this);
sharedData = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etwidgitconfig);
dataResults = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.emsSetWidgetConfig);
someData = getSharedPreferences(filename, 0);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()){
case R.id.btnwidgetconfig:
String stringData = sharedData.getText().toString();
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = someData.edit();
editor.putString(sharedString, stringData);
editor.commit();
break;
case R.id.loadBtnWidgetConfig:
someData = getSharedPreferences(filename, 0);
String dataReturned = someData.getString(sharedString, Can't
LoadSorry!);
dataResults.setText(dataReturned);
break;
}
}
}
And there is no error to speak of in this case... I'm just wondering how I
glue this all together...

[android-developers] Programatically changing the screen brightness
I'm now for sure 99% of the way complete on my code... I need to know one
last thing. How do I programatically dim the of the android.
I have tried making a set of intent groups. One loads the code for the
dimmer then intents into the actual program and that runs with little issue
other then the screen did not dim after the screen flipped over.
Here is the code I am using:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.view.WindowManager;
public class bright extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Settings.System.putInt(this.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, 20);
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.screenBrightness =0.0f;// 100 / 100.0f;
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);
Intent i = new Intent(this, gateBridge.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
}
Since I know brightness settings can only be used after the screen has been
reset or changed.
So the question, how do I get this done?

[android-developers] Launching an intent from a Widget Settings Class
The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do at this point. I have 99.9% of my code done but now its just a matter of debugging the question present is: Is there a way to set an intent with in a settings class if not how would I go about making the settings class its own app icon so users can get to set up any time. The catch is the app I am working on is a system that is set up to instant fire so there is no time to get into a settings window from with in the app itself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

So this is really a repost from Stack Overflow so that is out there in the open. Here is what I am trying to do, I'm trying to get the screen to black out when I run the app in question.

[android-developers] Maybe I am going about this all wrong.
Let me put an idea out there that I am thinking about in my head, What are the odds of an app running all the time in the foreground only minimized rather then as a service. Kinda like a clock or antivirus. I know for a fact that these things can be done since you need to look no further then (almost) any screen on your android to see the clock ticking away. Still there is a physical app behind it. Something you can go to and view in a bigger scale.

[android-developers] Keeping it fresh, back to service...
Alright here I am after a good 8 hours of editing (Yeah I'm new..so sue
me...) I'm working on this service that starts on start up. Keep in mind I
am on my live phone so I DONT have logcat. On top of this it is a Rooted
phone so if that changes anything then I guess I will burn that bridge
after I cross it. Till then I could use a hand.
Here is the service code..once again:
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.os.Vibrator;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Monitor extends Service {
private static final String LOG_TAG = ::Monitor;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.e(LOG_TAG, Service created.);
}
public void onStartCommand() {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, Service started.);
Toast.makeText(this, Test launch started, 600).show();
}
boolean dispatchKeyEventTake2(KeyEvent event) {
int action = event.getAction();
int keyCode = event.getKeyCode();
int ticker = event.getRepeatCount();
final Vibrator vibrator = (Vibrator) getSystemService(VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
switch (keyCode) {
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN:
if (action == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN ticker == 50) {
Intent MainIntent = new Intent(help.me.please.MainActivity);
MainIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(MainIntent);
}
return true;
default:
return this.dispatchKeyEventTake2(event);
}
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, Service bind.);
return null;
}
}
As well as the manifest:
manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
installlocation=internalOnly
package=help.me.please
android:versionCode=1
android:versionName=1.0
uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion=9
android:targetSdkVersion=15 /

/intent-filter
/activity
receiver android:name=autoBot
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED
/action
/intent-filter
/receiver
/application
/manifest
Basically the program runs starts the service but wont start the intent in
the service. Any ideas?

Re: [android-developers] Keeping it fresh, back to service...
So if I take it back to the regular dispatchkeyevent, it should fix it or do I need to find something to call it to? IN which case would be my main activity.

Any ideas? Nothing calls dispatchKeyEventTake2() in your service. And it is a good thing nobody does call dispatchKeyEventTake2() in your service, as you have an infinite recursion for anything other than VOLUME_DOWN, since you call your own dispatchKeyEventTake2() again in the default case. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.8 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Service launch issues
Alright I got a good bit of help in my last question so instead of beat my
head against the wall I have decided it would be better to post my code for
my auto starter / service / manifest here and see what I can get. It goes
like this: Auto starter(Just fixed) -- Service -- Main activity
So I am not so much worried about the first and last steps as they are both
taken care of. I just need to figure out how to get the auto starter to run
the service which ties the main activity to the background. So the
question: Why is it that when I run this it starts the app then promptly
crashes it about 30 seconds later also why is the app not going to the
background instead of staying up front? here is the code:
package path.to.file;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;
public class Monitor extends Service {
private static final String LOG_TAG = ::Monitor;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.e(LOG_TAG, Service created.);
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(path.to.file.MainActivity);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
startActivity(i);
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, startId, startId);
Log.e(LOG_TAG, Service started.);
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
Log.e(LOG_TAG, Service destroyed.);
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, Service bind.);
return null;
}
}
As well as the updated manifest:
manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
installlocation=internalOnly
package=path.to.file
android:versionCode=1
android:versionName=1.0
uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion=9

android:label=@string/app_name
android:theme=@style/AppTheme
activity
android:name=.MainActivity
android:label=@string/title_activity_main

[android-developers] Re: Service launch issues
Alright first thing is first, I dont have logcat since I am running it all out of my phone. I know there is a way to get logcat to run with phone tethering. Also sorry for the cross post it seemed at the time the topic was dead so I wanted to post it over here to get a second look.

[android-developers] App claims to have stopped then instantly starts afterward?
Right now I am in the process of working out this little bug as I want to call it. I'm almost certain that it is a manifest issues so I will post the code to the manifest down below. Going on what the title says. When I load my app into the emulator it installs just fine, but as soon as it goes to start it stops but then starts right afterward? At this point in time I am working on trying to make the app in question run in the background.
