API Demos

Activity
- Hello World
- Demonstrates a basic screen activity.
- Save & Restore State
- Demonstrates how an activity should save state when it is paused.
- Persistent State
- Demonstrates how you can save and restore preferences, which are stored
even after the user closes the application.
- Receive Result
- Demonstrates how an activity screen can return a result to the
activity that opened it.
- Forwarding
- Demonstrates opening a new activity and removing the current activity
from the history stack, so that when the user later presses BACK, they will
not see the intermediate activity.
- Redirection
- Demonstrates how to save data to preferences and use it to determine
which activity to open next.
- Translucent
- Demonstrates how to make an activity with a transparent background.
- TranslucentFancy
- Demonstrates how to make an activity with a transparent background and
a special effect (blur).
Service
- Local Service Controller
- Starts and stops the service class
LocalService that runs in the same
process as the activity, to demonstrate a service's
lifecycle when using Context.startService and Context.stopService.
- Local Service Binding
- Demonstrates binding to a service class
LocalService that runs in the same
process as the activity, to demonstrate using the Context.bindService and
Context.unbindService methods with a service. This also shows how you can simplify working
with a service when you know it will only run in your own process.
- Remote Service Controller
- Demonstrates starting a service in a separate process, by assigning
android:process=":remote" to the service in the
AndroidManifest.xml file.
- Remote Service Binding
- Demonstrates binding to a remote service, similar to the Local Service
Binding sample, but illustrating the additional work (defining aidl
interfaces) needed to interact with a service in another process. Also
shows how a service can publish multiple interfaces and implement
callbacks to its clients.
- Service Start Arguments Controller
- Demonstrates how you can use a Service as a job queue, where you
submit jobs to it with
Context.startService instead of binding to the service. Such a service
automatically stops itself once all jobs have been processed. This can be
a very convenient way to interact with a service when you do not need
a result back from it.
- GTalk Data Message Sender
- Demonstrates how you can use a GTalk service to send a data message to
another user on the Android device.
Alarm
- Alarm Controller
- Demonstrates two ways you can schedule alarms: a one-shot alarm that will happen once at a given time, and a repeating alarm that will happen first at a given time and then continually trigger at regular intervals after that.
- Alarm Service
- Demonstrates a very common background that puts together both alarms and service: a regularly scheduled alarm that results in the execution of a relatively long-lived service.
Notification
- NotifyWithText
- Demonstrates popup notifications of varying length.
- IncomingMessage
- Demonstrates sending persistent and transient notifications, with a View object in the notification. It also demonstrated inflating a View object from an XML layout resource.
- Notifying Service Controller
- Demonstrates a service that updates a status bar notification at regular intervals.
- Status Bar
- Demonstrates adding various icons as notifications to the status bar.
Dialog
- Alert Dialog Samples
- Demonstrates different ways the AlertDialog can be used.
Search
- Invoke Search
- Demonstrates a few different ways to invoke search, and how to insert context-specific data for use by the search activity.
- Query Search Results
- Demonstrates how to set up an activity that accepts query strings
via the SEARCH_ACTION intent.
