[android-developers] How to manually show the EditTextPreference dialog?
Hi, I have a Preferences dialog with some EditTextPreference elements. The preference values can be edited by end-users when they click on the particular item. However, at the first application launch, I would like to create a sort of wizard to guide the end-users through the configuration. I need to show the EditTextPreference edit dialog programatically. Somehow I need to emulate the end-user clicked on the preference. Is it possible?

[android-developers] Re: How to receive connectivity change notifications?
I'm answering myself: So actually it works well. I was expecting the broadcast to be sent more frequently, but it looks like my G1 is keeping the connection open all the time. The easiest way to test the broadcast is to go to settings and switch to 2G and back to 3G. The event is fired.

[android-developers] How to receive connectivity change notifications?
Hello, I would like my service to be started when the phone is connected to the Internet. I created a class MyReciever which extends BroadcastReceiver and starts my service when onReceive is called with intent android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE as parameter. I added following lines to my application manifest: Unfortunatelly MyReciever.onReceive is never call when I establish the Internet connection using any different application. Why is that?

[android-developers] An activity, a service and receivers - an architectural question
Hello, I'm not sure if I correctly understand the application life cycle and would like to consult the architecture of my application with the group. My application is intended to perform some time consuming (about 30 seconds) operation from time to time. The operation can be either invoked by the end-user (from app UI) or by some system event (through receiver). The operation should be performed in background but its current status should be visible on the application window. One operation can be performed at one time. They should not overlap. If new events which invoke the operation occur when the operation is already running, the new operation should start after the running one ends. My current package consists of following elements: The Service - the whole operation is performed in onStart() 2 receivers which just launch the service by calling startService() The Activity which is about to display a status and from which the end- user can start the service (via startService()) My questions are following: Should the service run in separate process (via remote attribute)? Will it be able to still share the preferences? Or maybe the service can run in the same process? But will UI work during the operation? The operation does not need any parameters. Do I need to define IDL's etc? Or calling startService() is enough? What if startService() is called but the service is busy in onStart()? Will the request be queued? Or should I run the operation in the separate thread and create my own queue? How to share the operation status (text only) between the service and the UI? Is SharedPreferences suitable for this purpose? Thanks Kuba --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
