i used webview to create app and implemented deep linking like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.ariagp.myapplication">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="mysitename.com" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
it will asking my for open with my application before open the links, but the problem is:
two applications will open in the phone task manager (the application does not open in the previous application which is running):
what is the solution?
Add android:launchMode="singleTask" in declared activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
And then, in your activity, you should override onNewIntent() method and you will get arguments there.
Ok, so you don't actually have a problem here.
This is just how deep links work. If you open one in a certain app, the deep link will open your app but in the same window the deep link was originally in.
Your app will have two instances in a way.
You could go to you web brower app and click share and any app that pops up. They all open in the web browsing app window. So there is nothing to worry about. I had the same problem myself before I realised that it is just how things work.
Some apps are just verified to open other apps if they implement the browsability.
Add android:launchMode="singleTask" in declared activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
And then, in your activity, you should override onNewIntent() method and call mNavController.handleDeepLink(intent) there.
It is worth mentioning that you are now able to get your arguments using, private val args: XFragmentArgs by navArgs()in your fragment.
I recently have added a layout and a java file connecting it to my java code file which is taking and giving actual output by implementing an algorithm but the second layout when opened in my phone it does not react to any of the two buttons clicked on it.
Seems like an error in AndroidManifest file.
here is Manifest file code,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.myapplicationgeneric">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:label="#string/app_name2"
android:icon="#mipmap/jug_black_trasnparent"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/jug_black_trasnparent"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".Next"></activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".connectorclass">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ANSWER"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.Calculator"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
</manifest>
here connectorclass.java is linked to the Layout not Responding named something xyz..
Just remove the intent filter for "connectorclass".
In AndroidManifest.xml file, you provide two intent files. That doesn't need it. Always try to add one intent-filter on your activity and this activity is your lancer activity. So remove the second intent-filter from connectorclass activity.
Then add below code on your button onClickListener
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.class, connectorclass.class);
startActivity(intent);
you can remove
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ANSWER"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.Calculator"/>
</intent-filter>
in android manifest and can start activity using class name by default
like this
Intent intent = new Intent(this, connectorclass.class);
startActivity(intent);
try this
I have one of my activities which I would like to prevent from rotating because I'm starting an AsyncTask, and screen rotation makes it restart.
Is there a way to tell this activity "DO NOT ROTATE the screen even if the user is shaking his phone like mad"?
Add
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
or
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
to the <activity> element/s in
the manifest and you're done.
You can follow the logic below to prevent auto rotate screen while your AsyncTask is running:
Store your current screen orientation inside your activity using getRequestedOrientation().
Disable auto screen orientation using setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR).
Run/execute your AsyncTask.
At the end of your AsyncTask restore your previous orientation status using setRequestedOrientation(oldOrientation).
Please note that there are several ways to access Activity (which runs on UI thread) properties inside an AsyncTask. You can implement your AsyncTask as an inner class or you can use message Handler that poke your Activiy class.
The easiest way I found to do this was to put
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
within onCreate, just after
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
so...
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
}
In your Manifest file, for each Activity that you want to lock the screen rotation add: if you want to lock it in horizontal mode:
<activity
...
...
android:screenOrientation="landscape">
or if you want to lock it in vertical mode:
<activity
...
...
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
Rather than going into the AndroidManifest, you could just do this:
screenOrientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LOCKED);
... AsyncTask
screenOrientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String things) {
context.setRequestedOrientation(PlayListFragment.screenOrientation);
or
context.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_FULL_SENSOR);
}
The only drawback here is that it requires API level 18 or higher. So basically this is the tip of the spear.
Activity.java
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
try {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
// land
} else if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
// port
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
AndroidManifest.xml
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name="QRCodeActivity" android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="landscape" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
User "portrait" in your AndroidManifest.xml file might seem like a good solution. But it forces certain devices (that work best in landscape) to go into portrait, not getting the proper orientation. On the latest Android version, you will get wearing an error. So my suggestion it's better to use "nosensor".
<activity
...
...
android:screenOrientation="nosensor">
Add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml
[ app > src > main > AndroidManifest.xml ]
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="xxx.zzzzzz.yyyyy">
<uses-permission android:name="A-PERMISSION" />
<application>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="orientation">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
The following attribute on the ACTIVITY in AndroidManifest.xml is all you need:
android:configChanges="orientation"
So, the full activity node would be:
<activity android:name="Activity1"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="App Name"
android:excludeFromRecents="true"
android:configChanges="orientation">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Add:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR);
...
...
...
}
Prevent Screen Rotation just add this following line in your Manifests.
<activity
android:name=".YourActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" />
This works for me.
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
on application tag <application
and
<activity
...
...
android:screenOrientation="locked">
If you are using Android Developer Tools (ADT) and Eclipse
you can go to your AndroidManifest.xml --> Application tab --> go down and select your activity. Finally, select your preferred orientation.
You can select one of the many options.
You have to add the following code in the manifest.xml file.
The activity for which it should not rotate, in that activity add this element
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
Then it will not rotate.
You can try This way
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.itclanbd.spaceusers">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".Login_Activity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
Use AsyncTaskLoader to keep your data safe even if the activity changes, instead of using AsyncTask that is a better way to build apps than preventing screen rotation.
I have created the MainActivity for my Android studio project, but after creating it I am adding a Login screen that I want to be the starting activity when the app launches. I changed the AndroidManifest.xml file to include the correct intent-filters for the login activity.
The app launches correctly with the login activity, but the problem is that now when I proceed to the MainActivity the buttons and fragments inside of it don't work anymore. The buttons don't respond to being clicked, and the fragments just don't appear at all.
Here is my code for the Android manifest file. All I changed was I switched .Login and .MainActivity
When I switch them back everything in MainActivity works correctly.
Is there something else I need to change for all the functionality of MainActivity to work correctly, even when it's not the starting activity when the app launches?
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".Login">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:name=".LocationService" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"></activity>

Im new to android, and when i read "Create New Activity" i was under the impression it creates a new "Window/Layout/Screen".
When i start making my own application i see
Main.java
is one application and
SecondActivity.java
is another app in my Emulators menu?
Why is that and how can i go about making one app with multiple windows as apposed to multiple applications essentially?

Look at your AndroidManifest.xml there is the problem. Your activities have Launcher between it's tags. Only one activity must have LAUNCHER tag
Only one activity must have
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
You should understand what is an Activity before starting to developing an android application. You can think an activity as a page in web. There can be one or more and every activity includes their own contents.
When you create a new activity in your project, you should navigate by doing some operations in another activity. Intent helps you at this point to navigate one activity to the another.
Your problem is that, you should check your AndroidManifest.xml file. Please check the declaration of intent here. I think you will solve it after making a search about Intent.
