Hi all I am just curios is there a way to create a movable text similar to lets say a toast. I want the user to be able to move it around the screen and have a close button (small "X" in the top right corner). Is this possible? I think I would have to create a custom layout of something but not sure what. Can you give me any advice? Where can I find more information about it?
You can achieve this using several methods. One of them is to create a service like the facebook chat notification.

Start this service from your activity.
startService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, ChatHeadService.class));
And don't forget to give this permission.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
Add your service in manifest xml
<service
android:name=".ChatHeadService"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</service>

I am running a background service to detect MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN in Android 5.0. I used bellow code and it can detect my touch event but i cannot touch other apps. How can I fix it? If you have a better solution, please give me. Thank all.
public class TouchServiceListener extends Service implements OnTouchListener {
private WindowManager mWindowManager;
// linear layout will use to detect touch event
private LinearLayout touchLayout;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
touchLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
// set layout width 30 px and height is equal to full screen
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
touchLayout.setLayoutParams(lp);
// set color if you want layout visible on screen
touchLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN);
// set on touch listener
touchLayout.setOnTouchListener(this);
// fetch window manager object
mWindowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
// set layout parameter of window manager
WindowManager.LayoutParams mParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, // width of layout 30 px
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, // height is equal to full screen
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE, // Type Ohone, These are non-application windows providing user interaction with the phone (in particular incoming calls).
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, // this window won't ever get key input focus
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
mParams.gravity = Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.TOP;
Log.i(TAG, "add View");
mWindowManager.addView(touchLayout, mParams);
}
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
if(motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP|motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
Log.d(TAG, "Touch me");
}
return true;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
}
Manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />
First of all make your Layout according to overlay.you are setting width and height match_parent which is cover whole screen so that you are not accessing application which is outside of your application.

I'm working on an app which has a View overlayed on the screen to act as a colour tint on the screen. I've got the view to come up in the colour I want and I can see buttons behind it.. the problem is I can't click them! :(
Here's what the app has achieved on the screen (this is how I want it to look):
My code:
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.PixelFormat;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.WindowManager;
public class OverlayService extends Service {
private WindowManager windowManager;
private View filter;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// Not used
return null;
}
#Override public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
filter = new View(this); // Create a new view
float alpha = (float) 0.8; // Create alpha variable
filter.setAlpha(alpha); // Set alpha (this doesn't seem to do anything)
filter.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW); // Set the background colour to yellow
filter.getBackground().setAlpha(80); // Set the background's alpha (this is the call that works!)
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT;
params.x = 0;
params.y = 100;
windowManager.addView(filter, params);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (filter != null) windowManager.removeView(filter); // If the filter exists, remove it
}
}
Cheers!
Fixed by changing the WindowManager layout params to:
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE, // This line changed!
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
Thanks to #DeeV :)
I wish to create a floating button which will hover over the entire Android screen. When the button or hovering icon is clicked, it should open a small popupwindow.
I was able to create the hovering icon using service class however I am unable to launch popupwindow. Whenever I click the floating icon, the error log says:
Caused by: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running?

You should not do these ui operations in your service class. Because after you show your button service instance will be removed and there is no context when you click the button. I think you should follow similar approach like below.
Service Class:
Intent activityIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity);
activityIntent.putExtra("showPopup", true);
context.startActivity(activityIntent);
Activity Class:
onCreate(){
boolean showPopUp = getIntent().getBooleanExtra("showPopup", false);
if(showPopUp){
// Show your popup here
}
}
I am trying to use a Bulider from a library that i have imported in my project but for some reason the Builder doesn't accept 'this' as Service context. if anyone can help me out i would truly appreciate it. Thanks

i'm writing service class that has image overlay
imageView overlay was visible, but it isn't visible after i added imageview resize code.
Also, MotionEvent for resized imageview isn't works well

The code that you are complaining about isn't adding the ImageView - mTouchDetector - to your layout. You must add it in order for it to be visible if you are using plain Java instead of XML. Look at your first example (the working one):
mWindowManager.addView(mTouchDetector, mParams);
That's the idea here.
