I have always wondered how the proximity sensor can determine that it is an ear. Versus, say, other body parts. Or whose ear it is, or where the ear is. I mean, if Vincent Van Gogh had an Android phone... :-) > The problem comes in if the proximity is in a FAR state and the user > begins opening the notification drawer.

Have you temporarily disabled your FLAG_FULLSCREEN / FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE logic to see if it is the presence of those flags that is causing the problem? That would help determine how much control you have over the situation. For example, I could certainly see where toggling fullscreen mode on and off in tandem with the user trying to slide open the notification drawer could cause things to get mighty confuzzled. > The solution I am looking for is a way to tell the handler of the > notification bar/drawer to close the drawer if the near state is > detected. I'm not aware of a way to do that. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
