Finish an activity from other activity - android-activity

I have called two activities as intent. One activity is loaded in background and another activity is called on top of that, by setting the theme 'dialog', so that it looks like a dialog. Now I need to finish the background activity when the dialog activity is finished.
can anybody suggest a way to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.
Sundeep.S.

Override onRestart method of your first activity, and call finish() there, as shown below.
#Override
protected void onRestart() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onRestart();
finish();
}
This may help you out, I guess.

GWT - How to handle multiple handlers for the same event

I'm currently working on a GWT project. I have a common block shared between multiple pages. I have some action buttons on that common block and the pages have a handler for the event launched on the click of those action buttons.
The problem I'm facing is that when I click on one of those action buttons on Page A, the handler from Page B previsouly registered would be called too.
So the solution I thought of was to remove the handler from a page when we leave it so there would be only one page at once with a registered handler to the same action button event.
First, I register to the action button click events and save the HandlerRegistration object returned from the addHandler method:
HandlerRegistration actionButtonClickEventHandlerRegistration=eventBus.addHandler(CommonBlockActionButtonClickedEvent.TYPE, someHandler);
And then, on page change event, I call removeHandler from the previously saved HandlerRegistration object
eventBus.addHandler(PageChangeEvent.TYPE, new PageChangeEventHandler() {
#Override
public void onMainPageChange(PageChangeEvent event) {
actionButtonClickEventHandlerRegistration.removeHandler();
}
});
So I do that on every pages, except that when I lauch my app and go to two of those pages, I get this error:
Caused by: java.lang.AssertionError: redundant remove call
Do you guys have any idea of why I'm getting this error or another way to solve my issue ?
Thanks a lot !
I would set the handler to null after removing it and I would check if it is actually null before removing it.
Like this:
eventBus.addHandler(PageChangeEvent.TYPE, new PageChangeEventHandler() {
#Override
public void onMainPageChange(PageChangeEvent event) {
if(actionButtonClickEventHandlerRegistration != null ) {
actionButtonClickEventHandlerRegistration.removeHandler();
actionButtonClickEventHandlerRegistration = null;
}
}
});
Nevertheless you seem to remove the handler at least twice and should check your program logic for that.
A good approach to do that is to set a breakpoint in the debugger (of your browser) on the line removing the handler. If you look at the call stack for every call to it, you should be able to spot the duplicate call and fix it.

ControlsFx BreadCrumbBar setOnAction event listener issue

I am trying to add a BreadCrumbbar to my JavaFx application using ControlsFx library.
It is getting added but i am not able to add listener to listen for any click action on my breadcrumbbar.
I have tried setonCrumbAction() function but not able to exactly implement that.
Any sample for same would be really helpful
Thanks in advance
Try following code.
breadCrumBar.setOnCrumbAction(new EventHandler<BreadCrumbBar.BreadCrumbActionEvent<TreeItem<?>>>()
{
#Override
public void handle(BreadCrumbActionEvent<TreeItem<?>> event)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
Hopefully it will resolve your issue

Click Event handler

when i click on a button the click event handler executes a code . If by mistake(if browser hangs) i click on the button twice the code gets executed twice.i dont want that to happen.
Any suggestions to stop that?
i suppose i should use a schedular or timer but i am not sure
below is the code:
public void onSendButtonClicked() {
disableButtons();
eventBus.fireEvent(new SendEmcsDeclarationEvent(getDeclaration(), getMsgType()));
}
You can - as Abdullah mentioned - disable/enable every widget in GWT with
widget.setEnable(false)
and
widget.setEnable(true).
If you want to lock the whole screen, create a modal popup, show it, after the button is pressed and hide it, after the code has finished.
public void onSendButtonClicked() {
myProgessBar.show();
eventBus.fireEvent(new SendEmcsDeclarationEvent(getDeclaration(), getMsgType()));
myProgressBar.hide();
}
If you are using a async call, you have to hide the progessbar in the callbacks. In this case the finally command might be executed before the callback is executed. In your case it might be a good idea to create a ShowProgressBarEvent and HideProgressbarEvent, so that you can use the progressbar in your whole application.
If your are using a widget library f.e.: GXT, you will find a ProgressBar ready to use.
Hope that helps.
The best way I can think of is to enable/disable the button itself so as to make sure that the code in handler is not called again until before the previous call finishes up.
public void onSendButtonClicked()
{
try
{
disableButtons();
eventBus.fireEvent(new SendEmcsDeclarationEvent(getDeclaration(), getMsgType()));
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
enableButtons();
}
}
When I create a button, I always also add an animating gif (ajaxloader).
When the button is clicked I make the button invisble, the ajaxloader visible.
When the action is done, I make the ajaxloader invisible, and the button visible.
This way the user has some visual feedback that something is happening (what you don't get when disabling the button), and not the entire application gets blocked (as a modal does) which is one of the plus points using ajax.

How to close a dialog in code?

So I'm making a eclipse plugin and I have a made my own dialog by extending the dialog class.
My dialog basically populates a treeview with data from a server. Sometimes the data cannot be populated (because the server is down) so my treeview is empty.
I have made another dialog appear reporting the error if I am unable to connect to the server.
My problem is that I would like to close the initial dialog when I press ok in the error dialog.
I have not been able to find a good way to do this.
I have tried setting setBlockOnOpen to false.
I have tried calling cancelPressed.
Neither of them have worked.
I called them in the createDialogArea function.
Any Ideas on how I could get this to work?
It is basically user cancelling dialog. you need to invoke cancelPressed() so it will be consistent handling if you have any code that depends on returnCode
if(noDataLoaded){
Display.getDefault().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
cancelPressed():
}
});
}
You need to do the close call after the dialog creation has finished. You can do this by using this code:
parent.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
close();
}
});
in your createDialogArea method. However the dialog may appear briefly. It would be better to do your check before creating the dialog.

Disable user interaction in a GWT container?

I want to disable/enable user interaction (mouse click more specificly) on many widgets like hyperlink, button, etc which are contained in a composite (flextable)
there are more than one click handlers, and I don't want to bother with removing and adding listeners according to mode (interaction enabled/disabled)
Any ideas would be appriciated...
You forgot to mention the version of GWT. In GWT 2.0 you can use this code snippet or something similar. This feature allows you to cancel events before they are handed over to the target widget.
Event.addNativePreviewHandler(new Event.NativePreviewHandler() {
public void onPreviewNativeEvent(NativePreviewEvent pEvent) {
final Element target = pEvent.getNativeEvent().getEventTarget().cast();
// block all events targetted at the children of the composite.
if (DOM.isOrHasChild(getElement(), target)) {
pEvent.cancel();
}
}
});
There is a GlassPanel compoent in google-web-toolkit-incubator. I am almost sure it does what you need. Either way, it is a good idea to cover a disabled component whit one of these.
