[android-developers] Power on Galaxy Nexus via USB
Is it possible to turn on a Nexus from the USB port? I'm developing a device which will have a sort of docking station for the Nexus, and I'd like to power it on with a single button to boot both the dock and the phone. I've noticed that if the phone is off and it gets plugged into a power source, the screen turns on. That leads me to believe there's some decision being made as to what should get powered on at that time. Could a change in firmware to the power management chip modify that behavior to power on the entire phone? This http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/2leads me to believe that the chip in question is the Texas Instruments TWL6030http://www.ti.com/product/twl6030 Fully Integrated Power Management with Switch Mode Charger.

[android-developers] Re: conversion to dalvik format failed error 1
I've seen this happen from time to time in Eclipse. It's not a code issue. I would recommend trying a few things: 1. Make sure you have the right SDK version and APIs included in your project. Sometimes Eclipse will change these on you. Once or twice when seeing this error, I've had to change to another SDK version, do a clean build, change back to my original SDK version, and then do another clean build. 2. Do a clean build 3. Reboot Eclipse 4. If none of those work, you might need to rebuild your environment. (Maybe there's a better way to deal with the issue, but this will almost certainly work.) So that means you've got to remove the Android SDK(s) entirely, and re-download them. Then you'll have to re- select the right SDK version for your project and rebuild. I hope this helps!

[android-developers] Re: Custom IME for custom component
I did have another thought about this, which I think is a dead end:
Would it be possible to have the app change the IME on the fly as the
control gains focus? I noticed InputMethodManager:setInputMethod(),
but I haven't seen any examples of its use. And then I saw a post by
Dianne Hackborn saying that it's specifically not allowed to
programmatically change the IME - which makes a lot of sense from a
security perspective.
I'm just shocked that there's no way to essentially bundle an IME with
a custom control. I must be missing something, right? It seems like
I'm left to create the IME from scratch using AlertDialog.Builder, so
some similar construct.

[android-developers] Re: Android service always alive..
If you absolutely need it to be running all the time, you need to acquire a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK via PowerManager. This will keep the CPU on all the time, and your program running. Be prepared for a shocking decline in battery life. I assume your next question will be How do I make it run as soon as the phone boots? For that, you'll need to implement a BroadcastReceiver that catches android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED. Your receiver would then launch your service. Once the service starts, you get the wakelock described above, and voila - you're always running. BTW, you'll need to declare permissions for both of those things. Good luck!

That error happens when the dalvik VM loads a class into memory. If you look into the log, you can find exactly what class is causing the problem.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with SDK 1.5
Your MyListener class is correct. The problem is in your call to
registerListener(). That's an overloaded method. The one you're
calling is the old one that still takes the deprecated class. Here's
the new signature:
registerListener(SensorEventListener listener, Sensor sensor, int
rate, Handler handler);

I keep getting the error that I should change MyListener to type

I chose to compile my code against Android 1.5. It seems that I have

that has been deprecated?

[android-developers] Re: Restarting a service.
As I understand it, if your Service (or Activity, for that matter),
dies due to the system reclaiming resources or a crash, the OS will
restart it for you automatically. That means if you were to configure
it to start upon boot (using android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
and implementing a receiver that handles
android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED), you could be pretty certain
that your service is always running...once the user restarts the phone
after installation. Or if you have some kind of user interface for
the product (can't see how you wouldn't!), it could start the service
if it isn't already running. Then there wouldn't be a restart needed.

[android-developers] finish() not killing Activity
Hello, I've got an application that has (among other things) three Activities, let's call them A, B, and C. A is the main navigation point for the entire application, and launches B and C directly using startActivity(). They work fine that way. However, when I call C from inside B, I get a strange problem. The code for launching Activity C is exactly the same in both places. The problem is the hardware back button. In the emulator, it takes two presses of the back button in order to close Activity C and come back to B. On a G1, it takes 3 or 4 presses. Upon seeing this, I implemented the usual suspects in C - onPause(), onStop(), and onDestroy(), and onResume() in B. When I press the back button from C and it doesn't work, I get onPause(), onStop(), onDestroy () - in that order, but nothing happens. When it works (on press 3 or 4 on the G1), I get onPause(), then onResume() in B, then onStop() and onDestroy(). I've tried catching the key press of the back button and calling finish (), but that doesn't make a difference. Has anyone seen this? To pre-empt some questions: All C does is display some data. There are no threads or any other special resources that C might have an active handle to that's preventing it from closing. But out of curiosity, if it did, how would I detect that? Any ideas for further diagnostics here? I'm out of ideas. Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: finish() not killing Activity
Marco, your hunch was right. I was somehow creating multiple copies of Activity C. In case anyone can benefit from this, let me explain how it went wrong. I implemented onTouch() in Activity B, which would create an Intent for Activity C, and then call startActivity(). For some reason, onTouch() would get called multiple times with each touch, launching a new Activity C each time. Jon, I've seen some oddities from that myself, although I can't really make sense of it. But it's helpful to keep that in mind.

Using a Notification is one way to go about it. The Notification can be linked to an Activity, which gets launched if the user clicks on the Notification. Here's some code, which I think I pulled from some tutorial someplace: CharSequence text = getText(R.string.remote_service_started); // Set the icon, scrolling text and timestamp Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, text, System.currentTimeMillis()); // The PendingIntent to launch our activity if the user selects this notification PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent(this, MyActivity.class), 0); // Set the info for the views that show in the notification panel. notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, getText (R.string.remote_service_label), text, contentIntent); // Send the notification. // We use a string id because it is a unique number.
