I'm having some conceptual trouble on figuring out how to best implement this... I want to create a custom Activity class for Windows Workflow. The activity has to call out to a third party library method that itself runs another process asynchronously and may take anywhere from seconds to many hours to complete. This library offers th...

Requirement is that the application runs in Portrait mode. All 3 tabs work as expected w/ the exception of the Camera Preview Surface (B). It is rotated 90 deg...
In my Android application, when I rotate the device (slide out the keyboard) then my activity is restarted (onCreate is called). Now, this is probably how it's supposed to be, but I do a lot of initial setting up in the onCreate method, so I need either: 1. Put all the initial setting up in another function so it's not all lost on device...
I am not sure where to start to explain this one. I have a list view with a couple image buttons on each row. When you click the list row, it launches a new activity. If you review some of my other posts, I have had to build my own tabs because of an issue w/ the camera layout. The activity that gets launched for result is a map. If I c...

Hello, My app needs to have a intent-filter that responds to a intent that has it's component set (a explicit intent.) Here is a example. Intent i = new Intent(); i.setClassName("com.compareeverywhere","com.compareeverywhere.ScanActivity"); startActivity(i); Just a simple intent-filter will not do - because the intent is made for a ...

I'd like to be able to shuffle this so that instead of going: BroadcastReceiver.onReceive() { Intent intent = new Intent(...); intent.setData(...);...

On...
I have two activities running: mainActivity and childActivity. Whenever the user clicks in the button in mainActivity, the childActivity is launched.

In my application one of my views takes longer than normal to load (it is a scroll view with many pictures) so I figured I would let the user know what was going on while the view was loading. So I put in a progress bar that uses a timer for how long it usually takes to load. The only problem is that when the button is touched the iPhone...
I have an app that allows you to create Home "shortcuts" to a specific Activity. It turns out that some of my users will use the app, hit the home key to go do something else, then use one of the shortcuts to jump back to that Activity. Since the app is still in memory it just opens the new Activity on top of the others and the "Back" ke...
