Hi !

I've search for 2-3 days on the web to find a way to avoid the restart of my activity when i open the keyboard of my G1 with no success.

Does anybody has a solution to do that, in fact, i want nothing to happen when the user open the keyboard.

Thanks !

hm, well, first you can implement the onConfigurationChange method provided by the Activity class and react accordingly. I have not tried to do nothing yet I have seperate layouts for landscape and portrait and on pause i persist the primary key of my current data set in a preference and on a configuration change i reload the data...hm.

but overload the method and see what you can do. hm. maybe you can just leave it empty?

Don't know if this is what you are looking for... but I've found the following in a book about android application-developement:

"[...] Android supports runtime changes to the language, location, and hardware by terminanting and restarting each application and reloading the resource values. This default behavior isnt always convenient or desirable, articularly as some configuration changes (like screen orientation and keyord visibility) can occur as easily as a user rotatint the device or sliding out the keyboard. [...]

<activity android:name=".TodoList" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/TodoTheme" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard"/>

Adding this attributes suppresses the restart of the specified configuration changes, instead, triggering the onConfigurationChanged method in the Activity. [...] blab bal [...] override onConfigurationChanged."

Good luck,

Harald

Hi,

Thanks both of you for your answers, but those 2 things doesn't work, unfortunately.

Thanks anyway !

This is what I'm doing to force my activity to be in portrait mode whatever the orientation or the keyboard state :

In the manifest.xml :

Code: Select all

        <activity android:name=".WordProspector"
                 android:screenOrientation="portrait"
                 android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" 
                 android:label="@string/app_name">


At least in the emulator, it's ok !

Hope it helps,

Thx so much guys !!
In fact i was using :

Code: Select all

android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation

on the : <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
instead of using it on my activity...

Thx so much for your help !!
Have a nice day !
Thx !
