I have a list consisting of CheckedTextViews in one Activity'A'. I want the checked items to b in the same state, when I press backbutton of activity 'A' and come to the same activity'A'. Can anyone help? I am new to android .
you can use startActivityForResult method for start ActivityB and override onActivityResult in ActivityA for send state from B to A same below
Step 1
When starting Activity 2 use startActivityForResult. This allows you handle the result in the calling activity.
startActivityForResult(MY_REQUEST_ID);
Step 2
In Activities 2 call setResult(int, Intent) to return a value:
Intent resultData = new Intent();
resultData.putExtra("valueName", "valueData");//you can set state in here
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, resultData);
finish();
Step 3
In your calling activty, implement onActivityResult and get the data:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent data) {
if (requestCode == MY_REQUEST_ID) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String myValue = data.getStringExtra("valueName"); //you can get state here
// use 'myValue' return value here
}
}
}

I try to add a contact with an Android contact picker by Espresso, but this does not work.
This is the command to invoke the contact picker:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, RC_PICK_CONTACT);
The contact picker is shown, when I run Espresso test. OK, now I try to select a specific contact entry by display name (e.g. "Jake"). Unfortunately I don't know how to accomplish this. I've tried the following:
onData(withItemContent("Jake")).inRoot(withDecorView(not(is(getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView())))).perform(click());
I also tried this variation:
onView(withText("Jake")).inRoot(withDecorView(not(is(getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView())))).perform(click());
No success with both approaches. As already mentioned the contact picker is shown, but nothing is selected.
Any idea?
What you're experiencing is normal behavior, since the contact picker belongs to an external activity, whose user interface cannot be manipulated. Trying to assert anything will result in the tests stalling for some time and ending up with a
android.support.test.espresso.NoActivityResumedException: No activities in stage RESUMED. Did you forget to launch the activity. (test.getActivity() or similar)?
However, say hello to the new born Espresso-Intents, which is here to save my reputation:
Using the intending API (cousin of Mockito.when), you can provide a
response for activities that are launched with startActivityForResult
UPDATE
Below is my current solution which works fine but would need some decent code clean up:
#Test
public void testContactPickerResult(){
Intent resultData = new Intent();
resultData.setData(getContactUriByName("Joah"));
Instrumentation.ActivityResult result = new Instrumentation.ActivityResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, resultData);
intending(toPackage("com.google.android.contacts")).respondWith(result);
onView(withId(R.id.contactPickerLauncher))
.check(matches(isDisplayed()))
.perform(click());
onView(withId(R.id.pickedContact))
.check(matches(withText(getContactNumberByName("Joah"))));
}
In the launching activity, I would handle the incoming intent with the contact Uri and do whatever is necessary with it.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.pickedContact);
if (requestCode == 42 && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Uri contactUri = data.getData();
String[] projection = {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int column = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
String number = cursor.getString(column);
result.setText(number);
}
}
Also, the helper methods, to be modified accordingly:
public Uri getContactUriByName(String contactName) {
Cursor cursor = mActivityRule.getActivity().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID));
String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
if (name.equals(contactName)) {
return Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, id);
}
}
}
return null;
}
My main activity opens a dialog fragment with 2 items in a listview. Clicking either one starts a new Activity. Unless I use getActivity().startActivityForResult() my code for onActivityResult never runs. Everything I've read here discourages using getActivity().startActivityForResult() and says just use startActivityForResult(). Normally I'd say "doesn't matter, code works" but its driving me nuts why its discouraged so much and why it won't work without getActivity(). I've been pouring over documentation and can't find an answer, help me stackoverflow, you're my only hope.
My onActivityResult() code located in my main activity (Landing.class):
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
String s = "";
Session current = new Session();
Gson gson = new Gson();
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == 1) {
s = data.getStringExtra("SESSION_JSON");
current = gson.fromJson(s, Session.class);
}
}
sessions.add(current);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
Code that calls startActivityForResult() located in my DialogFragment class:
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
dismiss();
if (position == 0) {
Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), ActiveSessionActivity.class);
getActivity().startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}
}
Code in ActiveSessionActivity class that should be returning the result to onActivityResult() in my main activity:
public void saveSession(View v) {
Session session;
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(session);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("SESSION_JSON", json);
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
Android DialogFragments are still fragments, as such calling startActivityForResult from your dialog will actually be getting the result in the dialog. If you were to implement onActivityResult in your DialogFragment you'll get your callback. The reason getActivity().startActivityForResult() is discouraged is because the dialog has no control of the activity and it might not be attached anymore. Try...
if (getActivity() != null && !isDetached() && !isRemoving()) {
getActivity().startActivityForResult(...);
}
I have an Activity A (not the main Activity) that launches a Service S that does some stuff in the background and, in the meanwhile, should made some changes to the UI of A.
Let's just say that S count from 0 to 100 and A should display this count in Real-Time. Since the real job of S is quite more complicated and CPU-consuming, I do not want to use AsyncTask for it (indeed "AsyncTasks should ideally be used for short operations (a few seconds at the most.) [...]") but just a regular Service started in a new Thread (an IntentService would be fine as well).
This is my Activity A:
public class A extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "Activity";
private TextView countTextView; // TextView that shows the number
Button startButton; // Button to start the count
BResultReceiver resultReceiver;
/**
* Receive the result from the Service B.
*/
class BResultReceiver extends ResultReceiver {
public BResultReceiver(Handler handler) {
super(handler);
}
#Override
protected void onReceiveResult(int resultCode, Bundle resultData) {
switch ( resultCode ) {
case B.RESULT_CODE_COUNT:
String curCount = resultData.getString(B.RESULT_KEY_COUNT);
Log.d(TAG, "ResultReceived: " + curCount + "\n");
runOnUiThread( new UpdateUI(curCount) ); // NOT WORKING AFTER onResume()!!!
break;
}
}
}
/**
* Runnable class to update the UI.
*/
class UpdateUI implements Runnable {
String updateString;
public UpdateUI(String updateString) {
this.updateString = updateString;
}
public void run() {
countTextView.setText(updateString);
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.counter);
countTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.countTextView);
startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startButton);
resultReceiver = new BResultReceiver(null);
}
public void startCounting(View view) {
startButton.setEnabled(false);
//Start the B Service:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, B.class);
intent.putExtra("receiver", resultReceiver);
startService(intent);
}
}
And this is my Service B:
public class B extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "Service";
private Looper serviceLooper;
private ServiceHandler serviceHandler;
private ResultReceiver resultReceiver;
private Integer count;
static final int RESULT_CODE_COUNT = 100;
static final String RESULT_KEY_COUNT = "Count";
/**
* Handler that receives messages from the thread.
*/
private final class ServiceHandler extends Handler {
public ServiceHandler(Looper looper) {
super(looper);
}
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
while ( count < 100 ) {
count++;
//Sleep...
sendMessageToActivity(RESULT_CODE_COUNT, RESULT_KEY_COUNT, count.toString());
}
//Stop the service (using the startId to avoid stopping the service in the middle of handling another job...):
stopSelf(msg.arg1);
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
//Start up the thread running the service:
HandlerThread thread = new HandlerThread("ServiceStartArguments", Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);
thread.start();
this.count = 0;
//Get the HandlerThread's Looper and use it for our Handler
serviceLooper = thread.getLooper();
serviceHandler = new ServiceHandler(serviceLooper);
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
this.resultReceiver = intent.getParcelableExtra("receiver");
//For each start request, send a message to start a job and deliver the start ID so we know which request we're stopping when we finish the job:
Message msg = serviceHandler.obtainMessage();
msg.arg1 = startId;
serviceHandler.sendMessage(msg);
//If we get killed, after returning from here, restart:
return START_REDELIVER_INTENT;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
/**
* Send a message from to the activity.
*/
protected void sendMessageToActivity(Integer code, String name, String text) {
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(name, text);
//Send the message:
resultReceiver.send(code, bundle);
}
}
Everything works fine but if I click the back button (or the home button) and then I re-open the Activity A then the UI of A is not updated anymore (it just shows the initial configuration of A - i.e. the "startButton" is still clickable and the count is not showed - it seems runOnUiThread(...) is not working anymore). However, the Service B is still running in the background and the I can see the correct count is passed to the Activity A in the Log.d(...). Finally, if I click on the "startButton" again, the counting does not start from the beginning (0) but from where B has been arrived (I've double checked it by showing it in the notification bar).
How can I fix this behaviour? I would like that, when I re-open the Activity A, it automatically continues to receive and update the data from the Service B. Or, in other words, that the Service keeps the UI of the Activity A up-to-date.
Please give me some hints, links or piece of code. Thanks!
When you click back button your Activity is destroyed. When you start the Activity again you get a new Activity. That also happen when you rotate the device. This is Android lifecycle event
The Activity is not good for heavy Business Logic only to show stuff/control stuf.
What you have to do is create a simple MVC, Model View Controller. The view (Activity) should only be used for showing results and controlling the eventflow.
The Service can hold an Array of the count and when your Activity start it will onBind() your Service that is running (or if not running will start the Service since you bind to it) Let the Activity(View) get the Array of results and show it. This simple setup exclude the (M)Model Business Logic.
Update
Following up a bit read this it's Android official docs and perfect start since it do kind of what you asking. As you see in the example in the onStart() the Activity establish a connection with the service and in the onStop() the connection is removed. There's no point having a connection after on onStop(). Just like you asking for. I would go with this setup and not let the Service continuously sending data because that would drain resources and the Activity is not always listening because it will stop when in the background.
Here's an activity that binds to LocalService and calls getRandomNumber() when a button is clicked:
I have been looking in thousand posts for this, but I do not find how to solve my problem.
I have an ImageView. When the user clicks on this ImageView, a DialogFragment is displayed, and the user can choose between taking a new picture with the camera, or selecting a picture from the gallery. Until here everything works fine.
The problem is, that the picture selected by the user, should replace the current one in the ImageView, but this bit, is the one that is not working, because the onActivityResult() function that executes this code is not being executed, so the image in the ImageView always remains the same. I would appreciate any help, because I do not see or understand, why this code is not being executed.
I am getting a warning in the LogCat right after the user selects the image:
05-07 12:17:11.542: I/ActivityManager(59): Displayed activity com.android.gallery/com.android.camera.ImageGallery: 935 ms (total 935 ms)

if (resultCode == android.app.Activity.RESULT_OK) {

Log.i("IMAGEN", ""+selectedImage);
targetImageView.setImageURI(selectedImage);
}
}
}
Any help would be very appreciated.
The hosting activity overrode the onActivityResult but did not make a call to super.onActivityResult for unhandled result codes. Apparently even though the fragment is the one making the startActivityForResult call, the activity gets the first shot at handling the result. This makes sense when you consider the modularity of fragments. Once I implemented super.onActivityResult for all unhandled results, the fragment got a shot at handling the result.Try This:
getActivity().onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
ImageView Iv2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
textId++;
String imgId = "full_" + textId;
int Ivid = getResources().getIdentifier(imgId, "drawable", getPackageName());
Iv2.setImageResource(Ivid);
Iv2.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
clapping = MediaPlayer.create(textBasedquiz.this, R.raw.applause);
clapping.start();
Intent intent = getIntent();
overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
finish();
overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
});
*Basically im trying to build an quiz for kids and in this im selecting images randomly i want to restart same code after user has touch on right image so he/she can get another question , but activity must start after sound has been played Please Guys help me i really need your valued comments *
You can setResult and go to activity from where you have called your this activity. Pass the value along and based on result of value received, call the saem activity passing new value that you just got from the same activity.
static int RESULT_OK = 100;
STATIC INT RESULT_CANCEL = 110;
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch(resultCode) {
case RESULT_OK:
// Get flags/values from intent Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION
// Create new activity setting the intent to call
// and pass the values
startActivity(intent);
break;
}
}
I think this will be more straight forward rather than calling same Activity from itself only.
