I have an android application, when user presses home or back key, android application will be minimized.
I want to open this application after pressing back or home key. (like long press in home key and selecting minimized app - I want application do this automatically).
What should I do? Please help me.
I guess what you need is Kiosk Mode.
it can disable Android features that can be used to leave your app. The following features are affected:
The back button
The home button
The recent apps button
The power button
The volume buttons

I am working on the Kiosk mode in Android using the following link and would control the "onBackPressed" and "Switch App" icon.

What I want
When users press the home button, the app will just "wake-up" or relaunch instead of the activity is closing down.
I am able to detech when home button is pressed and I ask the app to wakeup, but the app is still leaving when home button is pressed.
I have an app that will display the logo first, then it will go to the home activity of the app. Just like some other apps, if the app(my app) is not completely closed, even the user re-open the app(my app), the logo should not be displayed again. I mean if the user presses home button of the phone or switches to other apps, the phone will stop the app(my app) and switch back to its home or open other apps, the app(my app) is not closed. So when the user clicks the app's(my app) icon to open the stopped app, the logo should not be displayed but the home activity of the app.
I guess this should be done by using two activities. Then after 4s, it will direct the user from the logo to the home activity of the app. However, if I press home button of the phone or switch to other apps then go back to my app, the logo will be shown again but not the home activity of the app. So how to deal with this problem, or the logo activity can be done in different way?
I have made an application named TicTacToe having AI. The problem is when I press my phone's power button and press it again to start my phone - what i notice is my app is closed and I see the home screen. I want my app to still run even after pressing the power button. ThankYou in advanced!
I think the app is minimized. Long press the home button the app is shown then click the app it will resume.
If by power button you do not mean turning the phone off, you can simply make use of the onresume and onpause functions. More detail on this: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/pausing.html
If this is not working for you, try to log the runtime errors that the app gives and see if there are bugs in the code.
I'm trying to create an Android app that has a dialer tab at the top of the screen. When user presses the tab, it should display the phone dialer.
I have a requirement that that the back button and HOME key presses should be dropped (user shouldn't be allowed to exit the app).
Which is the best way to display the dialer? Is it essential to create my own dialer for this app?
Or can I somehow run the stock OEM dialer within my activity? If this is possible, I believe the user can just press the back key or HOME button and exit out of my app.
Please suggest an approach.
I have an Android app coded in Cocos2d-x. At launch, it often doesn't respond to any taps or presses until I press the back button.
Sometimes on app relaunch, the screen remains blank.
Any suggestions?
