Skip to main content

Exit application programmatically

By User



I have been searching for an answer but I couldn't find a proper one. The question is that I have a dialog themed activity on top of a normal activity. I would like to force the users to either read and click "OK" to the themed activity which will then transfer them to another dialog themed activity for some further questions or cannot enter the application. So, I would like to exit the application, on back press, and not just finish the themed activity that will reveal the content of my app. How is that possible?

    If you start your dialog activity with startActivityForResult() you can send back the result RESULT_CANCELED from the dialog, and upon receiving this (in your main activity) you call finish().

    finish() will do the perfect job for you ;)

    but make Dialog not cancelable..

    Edit (after problem description clarification):
    As others said StartActivityForResult could work, with additional trick.
    Because of the way you design your App (DialogActivity1->DialogActivity2), it might help to add following line in AndroidManifest file, for all your special dialog-look activities:

    android:noHistory="true" or to set flag for intent Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY before u start DialogActivityN.

    Both lines (from manifest or code) will make this actitivies not stay on android stack, so when your MainActivity (1st that started everything) get result back, it will be result from last DialogActivity and than depending on result recieved you can either finish() or continue with execution..

    However making user goes through these dialogs several times at the beginning application, is not something I would consider good practice and it can make your user just give up and go for some less annoying app.

    Hope you will solve it finally

    If you know about ActivityforResult then way is easier for you, First you need to start the dialog activity with method startActivityforResult... and then when dialog activity get close by back button you have to close it by Set result. In OnactivityResult method of start activity have to detect the same and close the same if setResult is not as according. Hope you got the point.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
