I'm trying to create an app in Android where a user can install zoom.us and Slack apps and run them but I need to check before installation if the app is already installed or not. The problem is I don't know the names of the packages so I can check against them, What would be the name of packages for zoom.us and slack and How would I run them by click of zoom and slack buttons?
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageButton zoom, slack;
Button installZoom, installSlack;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Install zoom
installZoom = (Button) findViewById(R.id.inst_zoom);
if (isZoomClientInstalled(getApplicationContext())) {
installZoom.setEnabled(false);
} else {
installZoom.setEnabled(true);
installZoom.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.zoom.videomeetings"));
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
// Run zoom
zoom = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.app_zoom);
zoom.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "About to run zoom", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
// Install Slack
installSlack = (Button) findViewById(R.id.inst_slack);
if (isSlckClientInstalled(getApplicationContext())) {
installSlack.setEnabled(false);
} else {
installSlack.setEnabled(true);
installSlack.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://slack.com/downloads/android"));
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
// Run Slack
slack = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.app_slack);
slack.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "About to run Slack", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}// End of Create();
// Determine whether the zoom for Android client is installed on this device.
public boolean isZoomClientInstalled(Context myContext) {
PackageManager myPackageMgr = myContext.getPackageManager();
try {
myPackageMgr.getPackageInfo("???.???.??", PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
return (false);
}
return (true);
}

}
}// End of class
you may find app package by looking into Google Play link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Slack
com.Slack is package name here. us.zoom.videomeetings for Zoom. Then you just start it with Intent. Try it.
If you know the package name for the app, then you can check that if that app is installed on the device or not.
PACKAGE NAMES:
Zoom.Us: us.zoom.videomeetings
Slack: com.Slack
You know the code for it as stated in the comments. By running it you will know if the app is installed on the device or not.
To check if app is installed or not, you need to know the package name of the app you want to check. You can find the package name of the app from Google play store, focus on URL. Id in URL is the package name.
For Example for Zoom.us it is: us.zoom.videomeetings
Since both apps are well established, it is highly unlikely they will update the package name.
I'm trying to access the subtitle settings, so I can change them.
But I'm not managing to find a way to access these settings.
Some advice?
You can use an Intent object like this to open Caption Settings:
NOTE: Minimum API level is 19
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_CAPTIONING_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
For example, if you have a button to open Caption Settings on click.
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_CAPTIONING_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
You can return by pressing back button on device.
I would like to create a charity application where if the users were to press the 'Donate' button, their browser would open up a link to a 3rd-party crowdfunding website where they would donate some amount for that project (or choose to exit the app or whatever!). How do I get to know what amount they have donated (or not!) from the browser so that this data can be used for that member's stats, etc.
Yes it is possible. You can use webView
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickLister()
#overide
public void onClick(View v) {
WebView mWebView=(WebView)_findViewById(R.id.webView);
mWebview .loadUrl("url for third party app");
setContentView(mWebview );
});
or you can use intent
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickLister()
#overide
public void onClick(View v) {
WString url = "http://www.example.com";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
});
I am developing an App using Eclipse. I have a page where it has different check boxes. I want the user if checking lest say options A and B and D then Activity 7 will open and if the user checks options A and C then Activity 5 will open.
Thank you
You can do so like this:
Get the IDs of the checkboxes. Then add an OnClickListener to the checkboxes like so:
OnClickListener checkBoxListener;
checkBoxListener = new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
if (checkboxA.isChecked() && checkboxC.isChecked())
{
Intent i = new Intent(this,Activity5.class)
startActivity(i);
}
else if (checkboxA.isChecked() && checkboxB.isChecked() && checkboxD.isChecked())
{
Intent i = new Intent(this,Activity7.class)
startActivity(i);
}
}
};
checkboxA.setOnClickListener(checkBoxListener);
checkboxB.setOnClickListener(checkBoxListener);
checkboxC.setOnClickListener(checkBoxListener);
checkboxD.setOnClickListener(checkBoxListener);
Please give this a try.
Update: Thank you all for attempting to help me solve this bug. I am still unsure as to the cause, I was able to roll back to a previous commit and continue development from there. This previous commit did show the same bug, however after I commented out button.performClick() it went away. Strangely, this does not work on the most recent commit.
I still do not understand this bug and would appreciate any more assistance in helping determine the root cause. My greatest fear would be to inadvertently re-introduce it.
I have the most crazy error I have ever seen.
The OnCreate method is being called over and over again, freezing my application and giving me a slight flicker. The only solution is then to exit to the home screen and force quit the application from the settings menu.
Here is what is happening in detail:
Application starts (Main Activity)
Main Activity calls the Second Activity
Second Activity calls onCreate, sets up as normal
Second Activity randomly decides to exit onCreate <-- I think this what's happening
Second Activity's onCreate gets called again. It doesn't ever return to the Main Activity.
I have run a debugger, it appears that the second activity successfully completes the onComplete/onResume sequence, then decides to exit and restart.
Has anybody ever heard of this behavior before?
I haven't noticed any exceptions being thrown. Also, in the course of debugging, I did go ahead and check those locations that you see as silent fail. (this is the older code before I littered it with print statements)
UPDATE: When attempting to stop the process, I must turn on airplane mode. This means it has something to do with this code block (Second Activity)
else if (Network.haveNetworkConnection(Login.getContext()) && Login.checkClientId())
{...}
With no internet, it will hit the else statement and does not display this behavior.
CODE:
onResume() of the Main Activity, where I call the Second Activity:
#Override
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
//Check If logged in, else go to login page
Login.setContext(getApplicationContext());
//Reset Notification Number
GCMIntentService.cancelNotifications();
/** GO TO LOGIN **/
if(!Login.isLoggedIn())
{
//If user is not logged in, open login page
System.out.println("RESUMING MAIN AND STARTING LOGIN INTENT");
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityMain.this, ActivityLogin.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
} else
{
Login.setupStuffOnce();
Event.pullEvents(); //Get New Events
//Update ListView
updateMainFeed();
}
}
This is the Second Activity:
public class ActivityLogin extends Activity
{
private String postData;
//private Context c;
//final Timer timer = new Timer();
//Facebook Stuff
private Facebook facebook = new Facebook(Config.FBAPPID);
private AsyncFacebookRunner mAsyncRunner = new AsyncFacebookRunner(facebook);

I believe that the problem will be resolved if you finish your MainActivity after you call SecondActivity. The problem probably is that the onResume event is immediatelly fired when you resume your MainActivity. That is because the MainActivity was probably destroyed and recreated while it was in background. Another solution would be to save your Activity's state with onSaveInstanceState. See here for more information.
Check this code in your activity:
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.refreshButton);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
if(Network.haveNetworkConnection(Login.getContext()))
{
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityLogin.this, ActivityLogin.class);
//intent.setFlags();
startActivity(intent);
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No Internet Access Detected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
Here you are calling ActivityLogin itself.
That's why the onCreate() is being called again and again.
I had a similar problem once. The problem occurred because I made configuration changes without declaring them in the android:configChanges attribute of the <activity> tag (and hence it recreates itself the whole time).
For example, if you change the locale manually you need to add locale to android:configChanges!
It seems to me there is a good chance for endless cycling here if Login is not properly shared between the activities, causing Login.isLoggedIn() to return true in ActivityLogin but false in ActivityMain.
A few critical factors are where your Login object is located, is it static, how is it referenced between Activities? It is entirely possible that ActivityMain is being destroyed while ActivityLogin is active; storing the Login data in SharedPreferences or a database, or otherwise persisting it is important. How does isLoggedIn() resolve (determine its return value?)
Suggestion 1: Consider making use of the Singleton pattern (if you haven't already.)
Suggestion 2: While discouraged, you could store Login at the Application level.
Suggestion 3: You can try using Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP to reduce the likelyhood of a new ActivityMain being created - which might not have access to Login, again depending on how you have it stored.
ActivityMain
onResume() {
if(!Login.isLoggedIn()) {
/* Not logged in, launch ActivityLogin! */
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityMain.this, ActivityLogin.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
ActivityLogin
onResume() { /* ... */ init(); }
init() {
Login.getUserLoggedIn();
if (Login.isLoggedIn()) {
/* Internet - launch ActivityMain! */
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityLogin.this, ActivityMain.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP); // <--- suggested addition
startActivity(intent);
else if (Network.haveNetworkConnection(Login.getContext()) && Login.checkClientId()) {
/* No internet, the user was unable to login. */
}
I think your main problem is with you onResume function as it gets called each time it comes back into view (eg: you start second activity, finish it, main activity onResume is called again. If you finish your second activity (or it quietly crashes for some reason) you will go back to your mainActivity and call onResume (which will start the cycle all over again).
Now i dont know if you are finishing activity 2 somehow but I would check that.
EDIT:
ALso I would put some logcats here
if (Login.isLoggedIn())
{
//Do Any Additional Setup
Login.setupStuffOnce();
// If user is logged in, open main
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityLogin.this, ActivityMain.class);
//intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Log.i("Some Tag", "Starting Main Activity From Activity 2");
startActivity(intent);
}
The above adding of the log.i will allow you to know if this is where the error happens, and you can go from there.
I had similar problem where the activity would be recreated all the time. Re-installing the app wouldn't help, but restarting the phone did the job.
