Here is how to restart an activity in Android. public void reload() {     Intent intent = getIntent();     overridePendingTransition(0, 0);     intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);     finish();     overridePendingTransition(0, 0);     startActivity(intent); } But Since API level 11, you can use recreate() method. The recreate() method acts just like a configuration change, so your onSaveInstanceState() and onRestoreInstanceState() methods are also called, if applicable.

Here is the coding to add a view such a as a button, layout etc. at the runtime. LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.where_you_want_to_insert); inflater.inflate(R.layout.the_child_view, parent);

If you want to hide the Android Soft Keyboard, you can use following methods to do that. Method 1 InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0); Method 2 getWindow().setSoftInputMode(       WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN); Method 3 Add following code into the AndroidManifest.xml file, inside the Activity tag. android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" Method 4 Try below code inside onCreate() method in your activity class. EditText edtView=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editTextConvertValue); edtView.setInputType(0); or editView.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL); ***This method works as a means of getting around the "can't hide the soft keyboard" bug in 2.0 and 2.1 as described in code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7115 Method 5 If you work with TabHost and you want to hide the keyboard on onT...

I wanted to get icons of running activities And here I done it. List<PackageInfo> packs = getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(0); Drawable[] icons=new Drawable[packs.size]; for(int i=0;i<packs.size();i++) {     PackageInfo p = packs.get(i);     icons[i]= p.applicationInfo.loadIcon(getPackageManager());  } And you may need to convert the return values to Bitmap.

I wanted to add static header to my ListView and here how I done it. In my ListActivity Class. @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); ListView listView = getListView(); LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(); ViewGroup header =  (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.header, lv, false); listView.addHeaderView(header, null, false); String[] values = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.reg_dates); ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter (this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, values); setListAdapter(adapter); } And here is my header.xml file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <Button androi...
