android-5.0-lollipop

I am playing around with Lollipop sceneTransitionAnimations . To get it to work you need to implement getWindow().setExitTransition() + getWindow().setReenterTransition() in the calling activity's onCreate , and getWindow().setEnterTransition() + getWindow().setReenterTransition() in the called activity's onCreate . Then, when you call startActivity you have to pass a Bundle to that function that you obtain by calling ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(getActivity()).toBundle() . This works fine. However I need to start an activity using startActivityForResult . This function only

I'm following this guide on how to have my app request to become a device administrator. This works great on any 4.x android versions with any phone, but doesn't work on Lollipop (I've tried on a Nexus 5 and on a Nexus 7). Logcat shoes the following error: *11-02 07:37:09.649: W/DeviceAdminAdd(10020): Cannot start ADD_DEVICE_ADMIN as a new task* Has anyone else come across this problem with Lollipop? What can be the cause? I've gone over all parts of the guide and made sure my XML, menifest, receiver, etc. are all as they should be (and again, it does work on any other version of OS or phone I

I am inspecting the latest samples in Android-L developer SDK. There is a sample class in android-L/ui/views/Clipping/ClippingBasic called TestJobService . It extends from JobService , which in turn extends from Service . I see that JobService is a class in android.jar, but I cannot find any information on it in the dev guides, nor in the Android sourcecode www.androidxref.com . Has anybody seen this class or know what it's purpose is? matiash It's a new type of service, that is invoked for tasks that are scheduled to be run depending on system conditions (e.g. idle, plugged in). Entry point

Consider the following code: new Thread() { @Override public void run() { myTextView.setText("Some text"); } }.start(); On pre-Lollipop androids, that code causes the CalledFromWrongThreadException exception, but why does it work fine on Lollipop androids? Testing environment: Genymotion emulator running Android 5.1 The code was inside the onCreateView() method of the Fragment class. It's a matter of timing, for example inserting your code in onCreate() would not crash the app on Samsung Galaxy S3 nor Nexus 7 2013 on Android 5.1. However, if you modify the code such that it's constantly

I'm using a custom Spinner widget with the code below. Everything works fine on most devices except on Samsung's devices with Android 5.0. On click the Spinner should display a list of values but that doesn't happen. On emulators and others brands devices with Android 5.0 it works fine. Has anyone faced a similiar isse or have any idea of what might be happening? xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Spinner android:id="@+id/_combo_spinner" android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:focusable="false" android:background="@null"
