How do you create a Service that keeps on running when your application is stopped? I am creating the service in a separate process in the manifest file: <service android:name="com.example.myservice" android:process=":remoteservice" /> I am also returning START_STICKY in the Service's onStartCommand: @Override public in onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId){ return Service.START_STICKY; } I wouldn't use the android:process attribute - this actually runs your service in a separate process and makes it hard to do things like share preferences. You won't have to worry about your

i've overloaded the Application class in my android app and i'm using the ACRA report system. My app looks like ( real source code here ) : public class MyApplication extends Application { @Override public void onCreate() { ACRA.init( this ); /* * Initialize my singletons etc * ... * ... */ super.onCreate(); } } And as far as i know, the Application object should be created only once, so the onCreate method should be called only once. The problem is, that in my crash reports ( from ACRA ) i have this: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service it.evilsocket.myapp.net.N ... java.lang

I understand that when the orientation of the screen changes, the current activities onDestroy() is called followed by the onCreate() to effectively recreate the activity. I need to know how to programmatically tell if the application is being exited or if just the orientation is being changed. One method is for the previous activity to notify me when its onResume() method is being called, this will let me know that the user has pressed the back button and the orientation hasn't been changed. P.S. I'm looking for a solution more elegant than listening for a back hardware button click. Here was

I used Toast to make notification, but it seems it will appear even its activity is not in the current screen and some other activity has been started. I want to check this situation, when the activity is not the current one, I'd not send the Toast notification. But how to do ? Andy Zhang When your Activity comes to the foreground, its onResume() method will be invoked. When another Activity comes in front of your Activity, its onPause() method will be invoked. So all you need to do is implement a boolean indicating if your Activity is in the foreground: private boolean isInFront; @Override

I have multiple forms, where I have mandatory fields and optional fields. To submit such a form I require the validation on the required-attribute to be executed, which works fine. To cancel such a form I use the attribute immediate="true" on the p:commandbutton , which makes its action happen during the Apply Request Values -Phase as addressed here: How to skip validation when a specific button is clicked? However, for large forms I want to provide the user with a Save-Button, so he can proceed later. For just saving the current state I also want to ignore the validation of the required

my onActivityResult method is never called. am using android 2.2 I am using a Tabhost, where TabHosts contain TabGroups which contain individual Activities. One of my individual activity runs the following intent Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("image/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), 0); this loads my gallery apps, I use the default android gallery to select one image and when I return my onActivityResult is not called my activity. It looks like this - and I put a breakpoint at if(resultCode ==
