[mono-android] Windows Azure Toolkit
Just to let you know I have ported a part of the Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone 7 to Mono for Android. This is now available through Githib. It allows for authenticating against Windows Azure and receive the token necessary to make further communication with WA.

Re: [mono-android] SplashActivity and single instance
I removed the noHistory option because I'm using the SplashActivity as a kind of initial workflow processor. So if the user has already logged in before they get: SplashActivity -> Login Screen-> SplashActivity.OnActivityResult -> Home Screen If this is the first time they are logging in they get: SplashActivity -> Auth Screen -> SplashActivity.OnActivityResult -> Login Screen-> SplashActivity.OnActivityResult -> Home Screen So I can't use noHistory because I need SplashActivity to process OnActivityResult. -- View this message in context: http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/SplashActivity-and-single-instance-tp5138098p5139699.html Sent from the Mono for Android mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
Re: [mono-android] SplashActivity and single instance
Ahh OK, I understand now. I think it would be better to do it this way: Have a Splash Screen Activity as you have now. Make a BaseActivity, which keeps some functionality which checks whether you are logged in or not and have all your Activities implement that. So when you are not logged in it starts the Log In Activity and forces a user to log in. This eliminates the need of calling Finish on your Splash Screen Activity which most likely is causing you this trouble. Does this make sense?

Re: [mono-android] SplashActivity and single instance
Hi Tomasz, many thanks that makes complete sense! One thing I'm still struggling with though is having only a SingleInstance of my application running at a time. I have uploaded a sample app here showing the issue: http://www.devbuzz.com/downloads/SplashAndSingleInstance.zip I am aware that this is somewhat contract to standards, but as I mentioned my app has a background service and it's imperative that the user doesn't run more than one instance of it at the same time. If I click on the Launcher icon when my application is already running the app runs again from the beginning irrespective of the fact that it is already running - any idea what I am doing wrong? I have spent ages messing about decorating the different activities etc and I just can't seem to get it right. -- View this message in context: http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/SplashActivity-and-single-instance-tp5138098p5139888.html Sent from the Mono for Android mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
[mono-android] View PDF file in App
We use PDFs to view some content in iOS by the help of monotouch. As I can see PDF is not included in Android as in iOS. Does someone have a solution to view PDF files. Or do you know an other way to view a 100 page document within a Android app? We want to distribute the app for free, but we don't want to publish source code. So some solutions can end up in licence problems.

Re: [mono-android] View PDF file in App
Consider that in Android, if you don't need that the view pdf feature is part of your software, you can broadcast an intent so a registered app will start and show the pdf. Naturally when the final user will go back, your last activity will be shown. Specifically, you can try an ACTION_VIEW intent with a uri pointing to the file (just be sure that the file is world readable putting it on sd or using MODE_WORLD_READABLE) and application/pdf as mime type. You can try to force the package setting it to com.adobe.reader, but if adobe reader isn't installed it will file. 2012/1/12 Marc Reiter : > We use PDFs to view some content in iOS by the help of monotouch.

Re: [mono-android] View PDF file in App
Yes, but i have a content search, so if user put in a part or item number then it navigates to the page with relevant informations. So this would be more complex by doing it outside? -- View this message in context: http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/View-PDF-file-in-App-tp5140064p5140134.html Sent from the Mono for Android mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid

While I agree that creating a new Intent to display a PDF is The Android Way, tapping the Back button MAY not, necessarily, display the last activity. Case in point: use an Intent to open a web page. This will bring Browser to the foreground, and pressing the Back button will not return to your activity, but instead will go back one page in Browser's history. This is a long-standing complaint by "Apple fanbois": as a user, you never know what the Back button is going to do, as it depends on whether the current app has decided to override the default behavior. That said, using an Intent to launch a web page/PDF/etc. is The Android Way, and may be perfectly acceptable...assuming that PDFs can be handled. (Presumably they can by Browser, at least, though I haven't actually tried this.) - Jon ___ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
Re: [mono-android] VS2010 crash on F5
Hi, where do I find the "release notes"? I can't find them anywhere in the documentation linked from xamarin.com. Also, how can I check which version of Mono for Android is currently integrated in VisualStudio? Can't find any "about" dialog or something. Finally: I just downloaded the free preview, but it seems that it only supports MonoDevelop now, and VisualStudio is no longer supported. Is this true? -- View this message in context: http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/VS2010-crash-on-F5-tp5135114p5140214.html Sent from the Mono for Android mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid

Is this > true? Visual Studio is still supported, the plugin is automatically installed if you have VS2010 installed. I passed this on the installer guy. Apparently the installer never mentions Visual Studio. It would be nice if it did.

Has anyone resolved this? I still get the error every time I fire up MonoDevelop on OSX Lion. I'm running the latest stable build for both MonoDevelop and M4A.
