I want to open my application immediately when S Pen is detached , How can you do this, if the methods put under onSPenDetached is only called when my application is opened again?
Thanks, Chandu
The following works on my Galaxy Tab A 9.7 with S-Pen (SM-P550) running Android 5.0.2.
Attaching and detaching the stylus creates Broadcast Intents of type com.samsung.pen.INSERT
with a booleanExtra named penInsert
of false
if detached and true
if put back into the device.
Thus a Broadcast Receiver can be created that filters this kind of events. The following code is for such a Broadcast Receiver which starts OneNote if the stylus is detached:
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class SPenDetachIntentBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent penInsertIntent) {
if (!penInsertIntent.getBooleanExtra("penInsert", true)) {
try {
Intent launchIntent = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.microsoft.office.onenote");
context.startActivity(launchIntent);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
In the Manifest file you need to declare it as a receiver listening for com.samsung.pen.INSERT
Broadcast Intents with an intent filter. The following entry in a project's AndroidManifest.xml
declares SPenDetachBroadcastReceiver
, generates an instance and makes it listening for com.samsung.pen.Insert
Broadcast Intents:
<receiver
android:name=".SPenDetachIntentBroadcastReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.samsung.pen.INSERT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
The advantage over using registerSPenDetachmentListener
on an SPenEventLibrary
object to register a Service
with an onSPenDetached
method implemented is that you do not need any additional library files and you also do not need additional permissions.
You will need to create a BroadcastReceiver
and a Service
.
The service:
public class SPenService extends Service {
SPenEventLibrary mSPenEventLibrary = new SPenEventLibrary();
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mSPenEventLibrary.registerSPenDetachmentListener(this, new SPenDetachmentListener() {
@Override
public void onSPenDetached(boolean bDetached) {
if (bDetached) {
Toast.makeText(SPenService.this, "S Pen Detached", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(SPenService.this, MainActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
Toast.makeText(SPenService.this, "S Pen Inserted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mSPenEventLibrary.unregisterSPenDetachmentListener(this);
}
}
The receiver:
public class SPenReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (action.equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
context.startService(new Intent(context, SPenService.class));
}
}
}
The manifest (inside the <application>
tag):
<receiver android:name=".SPenReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=".SPenService" >
</service>
