Ok so I have two BroadcastReceiver registered. When the app is closed they both fire at the appropriate times and do the appropriate things.
If the app is closed then killed (say with an AppKiller), the receivers never receive their broadcasts, and nothing happens.
Presumably the same thing happens if the parent app is killed due to low memory, so how do I ensure those broadcasts are fired/received. The API states that even if the app is killed it should fire, does anyone else have experience with this situation?
If it helps my manifest is:
<!-- receivers for AlarmManager -->
<receiver
android:exported="true"
android:label="Shift roster updating calendar."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.UpdateCalendar"
>
</receiver>
<receiver
android:exported="true"
android:label="Shift roster checking alarm."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.SetWakeup"
>
</receiver>
and nothing esoteric is going on in the AlarmManager/BroadcastReceivers

Hey there,
I've heard about web scraping software that can take data from a webpage. i'm building an android app and I want to take information from this site www.menupages.ie
All I need is the names of the restaurants, and typing them in myself would be very tedious.
Can someone tell me how i'd go about doing this in eclipse, what methods i need etc.
I dont know anything about it.
Thanks alot.
Is it possible to add a button to the right corner of the app title?

I'm up and running in Eclipse, have worked through several tutorials and would like to start developing my first marketable app. Is there anyplace I can find a comprehensive list or catalog of what's available on the Android marketplace? I'd hate to waste a lot of development time building an app that has twelve free versions already available.
Is there a way to test, from within an android app, if the device it's running on is actually using the Froyo JIT?
I ask because I know that 2.2 has a JIT, but we've already had a few test builds that seem to lack the JIT. So it's not a case where you can just test for the api version and be assured you've got the JIT.
As per my question here...

Is it possible to use TeamCity with an Idea 9 project project that has 3 .iml modules where 2 are Java based and 1 in an Android module?
Title says it all. My app code is starting to get unmanageable and I want to start source control, primarily because I need to branch my code.
What are some good systems that you have used in the past and what would you recommend to me.
Requirements:
Must be free
Must integrate with eclipse
Must work well with android development plugin
Hey Everyone,
I was checking out the Google Maps Data API and I was wondering if I can follow their Java Development guide to use it on the Android platform? I want to display routes that I have created on Google Maps on the phone.
Thanks,

I want to store locations in my Android phone and be able for the application to tell me if I am inside these points&radius.
What is the best way to store many point&radius locations and efficiently query for them?
I have an android phone and am thinking of a project in which I will need to modify the operating system and reinstall it to the phone. Is this possible to do so? Can i be sure my phone is not gonna give up on me?
Thanks.
I set up the "Dungeons" InAppBilling example locally and I am ready to try it out, but I am a bit confused. I have a button like this:
Button donate = (Button)findViewById(R.id.donate);
donate.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
// But what do I do here? :)
}
});
And when it is called, what do I need to do to actually go to the pay screen on android store?
Thanks!
How can I integrate services like Google or Microsoft and use information from the user like Google Calendar information. For example, how would I sync the Microsoft Outlook notes with an app on Android?
How to make button show it is clicked (by setting it go down/some change) for buttons using custom background image in Android.

In my android app I have a Tabhost with a ListView as one of the tabs. By clicking on an item in the ListView (an address) I start an Intent to Google Maps for directions and the choice dialog pops up for google maps, web browser etc. Problem is if I press the hard back button then the launch dialog goes away but also the ListView is cleared. Any idea why?
Is there a simple way to tell the default media player to change track back or forward?
I want the ability to send commands to the system media player (Music) to change track back and forward from within my app.
Is there a simple way? Code examples or descriptive explanation please, I have not developed for Android before.
Seems like I'm having some problems after updating my android sdk tools and platform-tools using the sdk manager. The problem is that, after updating, I found that the avd or sdk options in the windows dropdown menu in eclipse are gone! And, I can't find any option to create an android project from file-new projects any more.
I tried removing the ADT from eclipse and the software site "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" from "available software sites" and then reinstalled the ADT from "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" using help-install new software. The installation was successful, but I still don't have any option for shortcuts to the SDK manager or the AVD in eclipse, and neither can I create a new android project.
By the way, the android perspectives are not gone, they are still here. Also, I can manually open the avd and sdk manager from the directory where I have installed them.
Can anyone please show me a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know, if vendors provide or if there is a site where one could download AVD profiles for existing android devices on the market so you can run your apps in the emulator and basically see how they will run on said devices?
I know it's pretty easy to create a new device but it'd be great if one could just download the config file for each device and run it.
Hello,
I am currently developing an free application (TaskOS ) that allow users to have multitasking and switch easily between applications on their mobile ( like alt+tab in Windows )
That work pretty well and user can launch my application by a long press on the "search" button" by adding this line in the manifest:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH_LONG_PRESS" />
I also succeed to allow to the users to Use the camera button ( they can of course disable that in application settings) and the way to do that is slighlty different:
<receiver android:name=".CameraPressed">
<intent-filter android:priority="10000">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON"/>
</intent-filter>
I am now wondering if there are other ways to launch easily my task switcher?
( long press on Home key, long press on trackball, or any other idea.)
Reading the Google documentation does not help me a lot.
Any other idea/suggestion would be warmly welcome.
Christophe
I know you can change buttons background by creating a simple XML file, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:state_window_focused="false"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_normal"
/>
<!-- ... -->
</selection>
I was wondering if it is possible to use a similar approach to change the style attribute of an element using the same (or similar) technique.
Or, if that is not possible, how can the style attribute be changed during runtime (there is no such thing as button.setStyle(R.style.button)).
Currently I want to develop one Activity to allow the user to see the screens/activites of all running tasks , then the user can select one of them to switch it to foreground. As I known, HTC Sence seems already to have this implementation for Home screen, to display the thumbnail of all Home panels in one screen. Does anybody know how to access screen stack in Android? Thanks.
