Re: [android-developers] override home key
That doesn't make sense... Every time the the user presses the home key you want to think you're in "emergency mode?"

Re: [android-developers] override home key
I am not sure about this, but I think it would work for you. When you press the Home button, there would be an Intent fired system-wide. So, you could write a receiver that tracks these particular kind of intent. Now, in the receiver, you could monitor the frequency of these intents. IF you could detect that the frequency is the same as you would want your app to be triggered, you can very well start a service or activity, or whatever. *Thanks and Regards, Kumar Bibek* * http://techdroid.kbeanie.com http://www.kbeanie.com* On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 9:34 AM, Dhaval Varia wrote: > i am going to make one emeergency alert app > As we know we dont have time to open app in emergency. > so it should fire on some hard key. > so plz suggeat alternet solution > thanx. > On Jan 21, 2012 9:25 AM, "Kumar Bibek" wrote: > >> There would always be a few things which you cannot do. >> >> I don't understand how does this "No" affect the popularity of Android. >> >> Their could be other ways to solve your problem, that is, if you could >> mention exactly what you are trying to do. >> >> *Thanks and Regards, >> Kumar Bibek* >> * >> http://techdroid.kbeanie.com >> http://www.kbeanie.com* >> >> >> >> On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 9:21 AM, Dhaval Varia wrote: >> >>> i m getting all the times answer no.. >>> then why android is this mch popular? >>> On Jan 21, 2012 8:56 AM, "Kristopher Micinski" >>> wrote: >>> Basically, no.

Re: [android-developers] override home key
There would always be a few things which you cannot do. I don't understand how does this "No" affect the popularity of Android. Their could be other ways to solve your problem, that is, if you could mention exactly what you are trying to do. *Thanks and Regards, Kumar Bibek* * http://techdroid.kbeanie.com http://www.kbeanie.com* On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 9:21 AM, Dhaval Varia wrote: > i m getting all the times answer no.. > then why android is this mch popular? > On Jan 21, 2012 8:56 AM, "Kristopher Micinski" > wrote: > >> Basically, no. >> >> To explain the basically: you can't do it. >> >> kris >> >> On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 10:19 PM, Dhaval Varia >> wrote: >> > dear, >> > >> > is there any way to override home key? >> > >> > i want to start my app,by pressing home key for few times. >> > thanx >> > >> > -- >> > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >> > Groups "Android Developers" group. >> > To post to this group, send email to >> android-developers@googlegroups.com >> > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com >> > For more options, visit this group at >> > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >> Groups "Android Developers" group. >> To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Think of it as being a meta key, you don't use it to interact with your app, the user uses it with their phone, and the platform dictates how it behaves. Typically people who want to do things they shouldn't lack a fundamental understanding of the android way of doing things. The model is heavily sandboxed, you don't get full access to the entire platform as you can on a windows machine, it just doesn't work like that. The *default* is to give you a restricted set of options, and then you can request access to more options.. But in this case, you just shouldn't act like the home key is there.. In general being able to mess around with the home key would be considered a violation. kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Basically, no. To explain the basically: you can't do it. kris On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 10:19 PM, Dhaval Varia wrote: > dear, > > is there any way to override home key? > > i want to start my app,by pressing home key for few times. > thanx > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] override home key
You cannot override, but you can make your app as one of the home applications. In that case, whenever you press the home key, you will get an option to choose one of the many home applications, one of which could be yours. Few times ? No. *Thanks and Regards, Kumar Bibek* * http://techdroid.kbeanie.com http://www.kbeanie.com* On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 8:49 AM, Dhaval Varia wrote: > dear, > > is there any way to override home key? > > i want to start my app,by pressing home key for few times. > thanx > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
