[android-developers] Re: Start ACTION_CALL activity from service on Motorola Milestone
Hi!
I'm sorry, looks like the problem is not related with activity or
service.
I have this problem if I have a running MediaRecorder in my service or
some binded service.
The ACTION_CALL activity doesn't appear while the MediaRecorder is
running!
The ACTION_CALL activity appears right after that as the MediaRecorder
is stopped!
Here is my sample
// service's thread...
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile('/dev/null');
recorder.prepare();
recorder.start();
Intent dialIntent = new Intent((Intent.ACTION_CALL),
Uri.parse(tel:// + dialOutNumber));
dialIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(dialIntent);
//some activity or sleep... ACTION_CALL doesn't appear, screen is
black and locked, but the call is going well
recorder.stop();
// right after that screen is unlocked and ACTION_CALL activity
appears
recorder.reset();
recorder.release();
recorder = null;
...
NB! I can reproduce this problem only with Motorola Milestone wiith
firmware version 2.1-update1.
The problem is localized.. need a solution!
Thanks, in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Start ACTION_CALL activity from service on Motorola Milestone
Activity can't be started from the service without FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Probably there is some alternative to this flag, but activity from the service doesn't started simple without this flag and without any other flag. Read about this flag here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html and here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#startActivity(android.content.Intent) Note that if this method is being called from outside of an Activity Context, then the Intent must include the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK launch flag. This is because, without being started from an existing Activity, there is no existing task in which to place the new activity and thus it needs to be placed in its own separate task. Anyway, I have experimented with some combinations of flags, unfortunately without result.

Position the cursor of your editor at the end of the line containing you setFlags() call. Press the backspace key enough times to eliminate all characters on that line. Save the file. Recompile, and test the modified application. Do you think an alternative to FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag or some additional flag(s) to FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK? Most startActivity() calls do not need setFlags(). Hence, I am suggesting that perhaps the flag you are presently setting is not merely not needed but also may be interfering with what you are trying to accomplish. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 2.2 Programming Books:http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I spent a lot of time to fix this problem without of understandig it : ( I started a simple launcher activity from the service and started ACTION_CALL from the it. But it also doesn't work. My launcher activity is fine, but ACTION_CALL hangs up like from the service. I sent a broadcast message from the service to my activity and started ACTION_CALL from the it - not help - same bull...:( I think that it can be solved after understanding - why it happens. Probably the service should be running with some spesific attribute(s)? Probably it's a bug in InCallScreen activity? May be you know where I can find sources of 2.1-update1 firmware? Anyway, thank you very much!

[android-developers] Start ACTION_CALL activity from service on Motorola Milestone
Hi!
I have a problem with starting ACTION_CALL activity from my service on
Motorola Milestone after upgrade to 2.1 - update1 firmware version.
I have a very simple (worked before) code.
code
Intent dialIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(tel://
+ dialOutNumber));
dialIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(dialIntent);
/code
Now looks like InCallScreen hangs up after set audio mode or
ActivityManager blocks InCallScreen activity
The phone does call, but the screen is black and locked.
If I start ACTION_CALL activity from my activity - all right.
Looks at the log:
07-01 00:42:39.617: INFO/ActivityManager(1282): Starting activity:
Intent { act=android.intent.action.CALL dat=tel:5247519 flg=0x1000

Here the screen is black and locked ~ 3 min. Only status panel
available. Call ends. After some timeout see InCallScreen... If start
from the Activity - the InCallScreen apears right after call start.
...
07-01 00:45:14.031: DEBUG/InCallScreen(6381): placeCall:

07-01 00:45:14.039: DEBUG/StatusBar(1282): DISABLE_EXPAND: yes
I can send full log, but it is really big.
Thanks, in advance.

[android-developers] Poor audio quality captured from microphone with MediaRecorder
Hi! I've implemented Audio Capture Setup and Start example (http:// developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html) with small modification - the output format is MPEG_4 not THREE_GPP. The result - records with extremely poor audio quality. :( Could you help me to understand where is error and how is possible to do really good audio records with Android? I've done an experiment with Camcorder - standard Android application. Sound quality of the video is same poor. The audio signal is extremely low (quite). Is it by design or may be some hardware problem (T-Mobile G1)? I've found description similar problem here - http://osdir.com/ml/AndroidDevelopers/2009-06/msg00752.html - Microphone audio capture with emulator is of very poor quality. In my case this problem reproduces on the real device. Unfortunately I have not found answer. I read about some custom encoders.. but have not found any example how implement them.
