directly start Activity if user has already registered

I am new in android development. i want my application to directly launch MainActivity if the User has already registered. how can i do this.
this is my MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Toolbar toolbar;
Button btnTip, btnApp, btndos, btnAbout, btnServices;
ConnectionDetector cd;

}

}
}
i am using GCM. the user is first registered and MainActivity is Displayed. Next time when the user opens the application i want directly MainActivity to be displayed. how can i do this. Can anyone please help me.

You will have to make LauncherActivity like SplashScreen in which check from shared prefrences or sqlite data that user is already registered or not
then by checking this transfer to corresponding activity.
If the user is not registered then show Registration Screen and when user register then save info in Sqlite or sharedpreferences or any other way.
If the user is already registered the show HomeScreen

First of all just post only the code that needs modification, you've posted all of the code in that Java file of yours. We could be more helpful if your code isn't cluttered.

How to set directory for sending files using Android Beam

I am working on an app that allows user to select a file from external storage and send it using Android Beam.
Here is the FileBrowser Activity to select a file from a directory and return the file name and directory path back to main activity:
public class FileBrowser extends Activity {
private String root;
private String currentPath;
private ArrayList<String> targets;
private ArrayList<String> paths;
private File targetFile;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_file_browser);
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
root = "/";
currentPath = root;
targets = null;
paths = null;
targetFile = null;
showDir(currentPath);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_file_browser, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
public void selectDirectory(View view) {
File f = new File(currentPath);
targetFile = f;
//Return target File to activity
returnTarget();
}
public void setCurrentPathText(String message)
{
TextView fileTransferStatusText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.current_path);
fileTransferStatusText.setText(message);
}
private void showDir(String targetDirectory){
setCurrentPathText("Current Directory: " + currentPath);
targets = new ArrayList<String>();
paths = new ArrayList<String>();
File f = new File(targetDirectory);
File[] directoryContents = f.listFiles();
if (!targetDirectory.equals(root))
{
targets.add(root);
paths.add(root);
targets.add("../");
paths.add(f.getParent());
}
for(File target: directoryContents)
{
paths.add(target.getPath());
if(target.isDirectory())
{
targets.add(target.getName() + "/");
}
else
{
targets.add(target.getName());
}
}
ListView fileBrowserListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.file_browser_listview);
ArrayAdapter<String> directoryData = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, targets);
fileBrowserListView.setAdapter(directoryData);
fileBrowserListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View view, int pos,long id) {
File f = new File(paths.get(pos));
if(f.isFile())
{
targetFile = f;
returnTarget();
//Return target File to activity
}
else
{
//f must be a dir
if(f.canRead())
{
currentPath = paths.get(pos);
showDir(paths.get(pos));
}
}
}
});
}
public void returnTarget()
{
Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra("file", targetFile);
returnIntent.putExtra("path", currentPath);
setResult(RESULT_OK, returnIntent);
finish();
}
}
Here is the code for MainActivity where the file returned by FileBrowser Activity is send using android beam:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private NfcAdapter nfcAdapter;
public final int fileRequestID = 98;
String name;
String[] extension={".png",".docx",".jpeg",".pdf",".doc"};
ArrayList <String>supportedExtension=new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(extension));
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
// Check whether NFC is available on device
if (!pm.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_NFC)) {
// NFC is not available on the device.
Toast.makeText(this, "The device does not has NFC hardware.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
// Check whether device is running Android 4.1 or higher
else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
// Android Beam feature is not supported.
Toast.makeText(this, "Android Beam is not supported.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else {
// NFC and Android Beam file transfer is supported.
Toast.makeText(this, "Android Beam is supported on your device.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
public void browseForFile(View view) {
Intent clientStartIntent = new Intent(this, FileBrowser.class);
startActivityForResult(clientStartIntent, fileRequestID);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
//fileToSend
boolean filePathProvided;
File fileToSend;
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == fileRequestID) {
//Fetch result
File targetDir = (File) data.getExtras().get("file");
String path = (String)data.getExtras().get("path");
Log.i("Path=",path);
if(targetDir.isFile())
{
if(targetDir.canRead()) {
try{
String ext=targetDir.getName().substring(targetDir.getName().lastIndexOf("."));
if (supportedExtension.contains(ext)) {
fileToSend = targetDir;
filePathProvided = true;
setTargetFileStatus(targetDir.getName() + " selected for file transfer");
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.send);
btn.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
name = targetDir.getName();
}
else{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "File with this extension cannot be printed",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}catch (Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
}
else
{
filePathProvided = false;
setTargetFileStatus("You do not have permission to read the file " + targetDir.getName());
}
}
else
{
filePathProvided = false;
setTargetFileStatus("You may not transfer a directory, please select a single file");
}
}
}
public void setTargetFileStatus(String message)
{
TextView targetFileStatus = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.selected_filename);
targetFileStatus.setText(message);
}
public void sendFile(View view) {
nfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
// Check whether NFC is enabled on device
if(!nfcAdapter.isEnabled()){
Toast.makeText(this, "Please enable NFC.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_NFC_SETTINGS));
}
else if(!nfcAdapter.isNdefPushEnabled()) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Please enable Android Beam.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_NFCSHARING_SETTINGS));
}
else {
Uri[] mFileUris = new Uri[1];
String fileName=name;
// Retrieve the path to the user's public pictures directory
File fileDirectory = Environment
.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File fileToTransfer;
fileToTransfer = new File(fileDirectory, fileName);
fileToTransfer.setReadable(true, false);
mFileUris[0] = Uri.fromFile(fileToTransfer);
nfcAdapter.setBeamPushUris(mFileUris, this);
}
}
}
Now, as you can see in my MainActivity, I am setting my directory as Pictures.
File fileDirectory = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
My question is How can I dynamically change my directory every time based on the actual directory value obtained from FileBrowser Activity?
I have already went through the android documentation of How to send files using Android Beam, but didn't find it much useful for my problem. I also went through the android documentation of Environment, but couldn't understand much.
Any help regarding this will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You already have the file selected in OnActivityResult method. Just change
mFileUris[0] = Uri.fromFile(fileToTransfer);
to
mFileUris[0] = Uri.fromFile(targetDir);

Dont open second activity if android back button is pressed

i am trying to implement below code every thing works fine how ever
here is the situation i am facing
mainactivity just has a button to open splashactivity
splash activity does the parsing part then opens the listactvity
my workflow is if user has clicked on the button in main activity
it opens the splash activity and redirects to listactivty the
problem occurs when on the splash activity if a user clicks the
andorid back button it does go back to the mainactivity however the
parsing in splashactivity continues and user is redirected to
listactivty this thing should not happen, when user on splash
activity has clicked backbutton it should go back to mainactivity
and stay there itself
how can this be done
package com.site.name;
public class SplashActivity extends Activity {
RSSFeed feed;
String fileName;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.splash);

int position = i.getExtras().getInt("position");
String[] country = i.getStringArrayExtra("country");
// //public String RSSFEEDURL = "http://blogname.blogspot.com//feeds/posts/default/-/Awards?alt=rss";
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), country[position], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), country[position], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
File feedFile = getBaseContext().getFileStreamPath(fileName);
ConnectivityManager conMgr = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if (conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo() == null) {
// No connectivity. Check if feed File exists
if (!feedFile.exists()) {
// No connectivity & Feed file doesn't exist: Show alert to exit
// & check for connectivity
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage(
"Unable to reach server, \nPlease check your connectivity.")
.setTitle("TD RSS Reader")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Exit",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int id) {
finish();
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
} else {
// No connectivty and file exists: Read feed from the File
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this,
"No connectivity!",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
//feed = ReadFeed(fileName);
startLisActivity(feed);
}
} else {
// Connected - Start parsing
new AsyncLoadXMLFeed().execute();
}
}
private void startLisActivity(RSSFeed feed) {
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putSerializable("feed", feed);
// launch List activity
Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, ListActivity.class);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in, R.anim.slide_out);
// kill this activity
finish();
}
private class AsyncLoadXMLFeed extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// Obtain feed
DOMParser myParser = new DOMParser();
Intent i = getIntent();
int position = i.getExtras().getInt("position");
String[] country = i.getStringArrayExtra("country");
//feed = myParser.parseXml(RSSFEEDURL);
//feed = myParser.parseXml("http://blogname.blogspot.com//feeds/posts/default/-/Awards?alt=rss");
feed = myParser.parseXml("http://blogname.blogspot.com//feeds/posts/default/-/" + country[position] + "?alt=rss");
if (feed != null && feed.getItemCount() > 0)
WriteFeed(feed);
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
startLisActivity(feed);
}
}
// Method to write the feed to the File
private void WriteFeed(RSSFeed data) {
FileOutputStream fOut = null;
ObjectOutputStream osw = null;
try {
fOut = openFileOutput(fileName, MODE_PRIVATE);
osw = new ObjectOutputStream(fOut);
osw.writeObject(data);
osw.flush();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
try {
fOut.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
//Include the code here
return;
}
}

You can cancel parsing the feed in MainActivity's onRestart() as this is one method of MainActivity that will be called when you press back from your Parsing Activity.
You can read more about Activity Life Cycle here.

For detecting the Back button press event use the following method
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// do something on back.
// Change your activity by calling intent
return;
}

If you want to do anything with your back button then you have to override it manually.
#Override
Public void onBackPressed() {
//do whatever you want to do as your question is quite confusing.
return;
}

i am trying to load the same data that i entered in my first activity. On button click the data is lodt. So i used shared preferences. But am using it first time so there is something wrong in my code. I just tried to load one of the edittext. Anyone can point out whats the mistake

You are doing it wrong. the wrong things are
to just restoring a data you are trying to restart the whole activity.
you are calling the onResume method by yourself..
Dont do these . you can do it easily by following.
create a method which will do the initial data setting tasks for your.
in onResume of you method (or in oncreate ) call that method
whenever you want to reset data (i.e after back button pressed) call that method.

You are wrongly getting the data from your preferences with the Wrong key.
As you are storing the value in preferences with the key Name in your onResume method and in your loadInput method you are trying to fetch it with the PatientInfo key which is not available in your preferences.
Change your loadInput method as below:
private void loadInput(){
SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
String savedText = preferences.getString("Name");
PatientInfo.setText(savedText);
}
As the onResume method always gets called before the onCreate so you need to initialize your PatientInfo view in your onResume method and then try to store its value into the Preferences.

I have read other questions and tutorials, but I found same method of displaying, as I did in the code above. No image is displayed here. I did not find any error message in logcat. Please suggest me, any improvements in the code.
Thanks in advance.

You have a space between "/storage/ sdcard/". You should print the stacktrace to see the Exception using er.printStackTrace(). Also, you shouldn't hardcode the string path; use the Environment Class to reference file locations in a consistent way.

1) Make sure you have given permission to read external storage in your android manifest file.
2)
instead of hard coding the path to external storage use this.
File sdCardPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
then add your folder and file name..
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(sdCardPath+"/DCIM/Camera/img_folder/xxx.png");
jpgView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
