[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to launch an activity on a certain key sequence?
Mark, Sorry, I meant the key sequence would launch my activity. Can you elaborate on what it would take? Thanks in advance!

Again, it would only work if you are trying to launch Activity B from Activity A, where you wrote both B and A. The precise techniques will vary based on what Activity A is doing, but you'll want to look at onKeyDown() and onKeyUp() in Activity. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Consulting/App Development: http://commonsware.com/consulting -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

So I would need to write an activity that listens for a certain key sequence and then launches a second activity?

BillS wrote: So I would need to write an activity that listens for a certain key sequence and then launches a second activity? Yes. I suspect you're trying to get it such that arbitrary other applications, or the operating system, will register the key events and start up your activity for you. That is not supported. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Is it possible to launch an activity on a certain key sequence?
I don't know if this will help your situation at all, but note that there is the option for users to set keyboard shortcuts, so you could set a shortcut for yourself for your own app. On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 12:51 PM, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.comwrote: BillS wrote: So I would need to write an activity that listens for a certain key sequence and then launches a second activity?

On that note, Can I launch an activity from the called 'Camera App' within my own activity on the press of Capture button?
