A more ideal method would be to use C2DM to occasionally ping the device for a location fix. That way a service wouldn't need to be constantly running. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group. To post to this group, sen

[android-developers] Re: Activity Lifecycle Documentation Question

The text of the documentation says you're right. A call to 'finish()' is all that could happen to 'destroy' the activity. No killing of the process is necessary. However, the image in the documentation ( http://developer.android.com/images/activity_lifecycle.png inside http://developer.androi

[android-developers] Re: How can we get the mobile position (e.g. by gps) all the time?

Sorry I may not have been clear enough. I was more thinking of using the accelerometer as a motion sensor, to restore the power to the GPS after it had been cut due to lack of location events or changes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Deve

Re: [android-developers] Re: car dock mode

ACTION_DOCK_EVENT is about the device being placed in a dock. Calling that API puts the device in to car mode, but that doesn't cause it to be placed in to a dock. On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 3:29 PM, mort wrote: > > Additionally: Is there a way to emulate thedockmodes? I only found > > some old to

Re: [android-developers] Re: Activity Lifecycle Documentation Question

Be very careful with cleaning up some resources in onPause. A dialog being shown could put your activity into paused-state, but not into stopped-state. This happens when a system dialog pops up (e.g. an activity chooser) and your activity is still visible in the background (blurred, but still v

[android-developers] Re: Activity Lifecycle Documentation Question

The text and the diagram of the link you showed are indeed not saying the same: - The diagram only shows a direct path out of onPause or onStop only when the process is being killed. - The text says that the framework can just call 'finish' on the activity (without going through onD
