Android Question ContentChooser general question

[Addo]

i am just wondering can i close the ContentChooser when the module goes to pause after ContentChooser shows ?

 

[LucaMs]

If understand, what you want is to close che "Chooser" immediately after it is shown (so I don't know what can be the purpose).

I think the answer should be: "no", because the ContentChoose is a sort of dialog and only the user can close it.

You could try using a timer; in the timer event try to StartActivity(... [HERE I TRIED]

No, you can not use a timer, because the chooser is a sort of "sync dialog", the timer event will not be raised.

The issue with it is accure if its showing and if the user click on the notification icon while its showing the targeted mould became empty

I'm sorry, I did not get.

An example?

You show an image content chooser:

cc.Show("image/*", "Choose image")

the chooser is shown... and?

i will try to explain i have a notifcation icon in my app and its info set to a module when its clicked

nNotify.SetInfo("Running", "click to go back", MAIN2)

when content chooser showing and i try to drag the notifcationbar to click on the notification icon to return to MAIN2 the app recreate the Main2 module if the content chooser showing

 

[LucaMs]

Sorry, I had never used notifications; I think they should be "started" from services: are you doing so?

 

[Addo]

Yes I am starting the notification from the service as a foreground

 

[LucaMs]

I have to try (I should do other things but so I will learn something...)

If you have an example project to attach, I would do it faster.

I tried, but still don't understand sorry .

I get the notification, open the notification list, and choose if click on the notification (so open the activity) or remove it (dragging the notification "out").

[the name of the project attached is "Close CC" because initially I thought you were talking about ContentChooser, not about notifications]

 

[LucaMs]

??? helpful?

I leave; someone who knows notifications will understand better and will help you.

try with this click open module 2

in module2 click to open the chooser

when the chooser showing drag the notifcation bar and click on the notifcation icon and see what happened

The Main module opened with empty contents how ever the clv have an item and the label is filled with text

Note that your code misses this line:

nNotify.Icon = "icon"

I've tried your program. The main activity is recreated when I click on the notification. It looks properly.

 

[Addo]

@Erel it should't be recreated it should resume

 

[LucaMs]

I saw this notification:

(You can understand what it means, although it is in Italian: "B4A Example is running - touch to get more informations or to stop the app").

I could not understand why this happened! I thought it was a B4X notification, but it does not appear in my projects and this distracted me a lot.
This is due to:

Note that your code misses this line:

nNotify.Icon = "icon"

Now I can try to understand @PassionDEV's problem ...

Maybe you wanted to say:
"to return to Main"
?


[BTW bad name Main2 ]

 

[LucaMs]

*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
** Activity (main2) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main2) Resume **
** Activity (main2) Pause, UserClosed = false **
Killing previous instance (main).
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = false **
** Activity (main) Resume **

I think you're asking why Main is recreated, instead of resumed; correct?

 

[LucaMs]

If I understood correctly and that is the situation, I think there is no solution; you will have to handle this very differently.

 

[Addo]

exactly i am asking about why its recreated not resumed

 

[LucaMs]

exactly i am asking about why its recreated not resumed

I don't know, it is so and I think you can not avoid this behavior.

I can just suggest to try a different way to reach the same goal.

Sorry.

@Erel it should't be recreated it should resume

No. This is how Android works. You should expect the activity to be destroyed and recreated. All kinds of things can cause it.
