Thanks both of you! Today I'm starting to implement it. Thanks a lot!

Just give up the idea that this is a real menu. Lots of code sample are available (only if you give up the word menu and try to achieve the result using layouts) On the other hand, if you do not want to make it look like a copy of iPhone (as your example applications do), you can use the normal menu of Androoid http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html Off course, you have to show it as soon as your activity loads.

[android-developers] Is there a way to force the application not keep running after close it?
Hi all, Is there a way to force the application not keep running after close it? When the user closes de applications, it always is running memory. Is it possible to define some at the manifest to force the app to be removed from the memory?

[android-developers] Best way to schedule a task?

[android-developers] Re: Is there a way to force the application not keep running after close it?
I wanna do that, because I have a task running on background. And i wanna stop it when the application is closed. This task is doing http calls every X minutes to sync the application data over internet. Also, android OS keep the state of the application and open it at the last activity where the user was on. I would like to open the application always by the main activity. also this main activity is doing a login call, which receive the session id to make more http calls. I have a risk to loose the session id, while the user is not using the app and it stills in memory for a long time. On 17 ene, 11:55, Kumar Bibek coomar@gmail.com wrote: Why would you try to do that?

[android-developers] Re: Best way to schedule a task?
thanks Kostya, I don't know if I explained well what i wanna mean when i say sync the app. What i try to have sync is the data of the application. I mean, the user can modify his data through movile device, or accessing via web, in the future maybe through facebook, etc. So i think is quite enough if the process run only while the user is using the application. I think i don't need sync while the user is doing whatever and my app is on memory. Or maybe yes i don't know. :D I am gonna take a look to AlarmManager.

[android-developers] Re: Best way to schedule a task?
Ohh thanks, i thought that Timer + Handler will open a new thread instead of be on the main UI thread. So, i can combine a timer + handler + AsyncTask, right?

You might not need a service or alarms then - a Handler with postAtTime() should do the trick.

[android-developers] ActivityGroup, when i press back the activity does not reload itself...
Hi everybody! I have a tabhost on my application and I'm using an Activity group which handles 3 activities inside. Example: ActivityGroup Handles A - B - C When i start this activities i'm using the flag Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP. My problem is when the user goes from A-B-C and press back button, my B activity shows up, but it does not resume or reload or refresh. It has the same state as before. For example if the user goes again to C, C is refreshed, but when from C goes back B is not. On B I have implementend methods such as onResume, onStart, onReestart and debugging it the main thread never goes in there... And i need to refresh B because C can make changes that change the content displayed on B.

Looking at your code I can see that you have the tablayout with a tabwidget that has the buttons But i can't imagine what is the status bar... do you have also buttons at your status bar? And if in your tab nº2, you have more than one activity... the menu buttons still appearing doing transition from one activity to another?

So i started to adapt the app for using ActivityGroups. Since i started i have been solving problems... Maybe you are right, and it's better to not use the activity group. Let's say i'm not using the activity group, but the application has a must. The bottom menú has to stay visible always... What can I do for it? I was thinking to have a view with the buttons and merge the layout in every view of the application, to have the look and feel that you're using activity groups... Or there is a better solution for this? On Apr 20, 9:34 am, Zsolt Vasvari zvasv...@gmail.com wrote: There are many annoying bugs with ActivityGroups. Your best bet is to bite the bullet and rewrite your app so that it uses a single Activity with a TabHost and View's for the pages.

Example: ActivityGroup Handles A - B - C When i start this activities i'm using the flag Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP. My problem is when the user goes from A-B-C and press back button, my B activity shows up, but it does not resume or reload or refresh. It has the same state as before. For example if the user goes again to C, C is refreshed, but when from C goes back B is not. On B I have implementend methods such as onResume, onStart, onReestart and debugging it the main thread never goes in there... And i need to refresh B because C can make changes that change the content displayed on B. I have googleled this for 3 days and I couldn't found a solution..- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
