Android: To Display the system log inside your application

To display the system log inside your application, filtered for your own application-name, you could insert the following as an inner class:


private static final String LogCatCommand = "logcat ActivityManager:I *:S";
private static final String ClearLogCatCommand = "logcat -c";

private class MonitorLogThread extends Thread{
    public MonitorLogThread(){
    }

    BufferedReader br;

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            Process process;
            process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(ClearLogCatCommand);
                process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(LogCatCommand);
                br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
                String line;
                // Check if it matches the pattern
                while(((line=br.readLine()) != null) && !this.isInterrupted()){

                // Filter for your app-line
                if (line.contains("your-filter-string")){
                    Log.i("myAppTag", "Found log-entry for my app:" + line);
                }

            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

And in your onCreate-Method:

Thread mThread = new MonitorLogThread();
mThread.start();

Fragment: App loads with white screen for 3 secs before showing proper UI

Issue: 1) When my application start then white/black screen appears, and then main UI is display.  2) Before my fragment load in activity black/white screen appears for 3/4 seconds and then fragment load. Solution: To fix this nasty problem, update the /res/values/styles.xml to include <item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item> or <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/black</item> for example : <!-- Application theme. -->  <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">  <!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->  <item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>  <!-- <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/black</item> -->  </style>

Error: Retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name after upgrading to AppCompat v23

My project is going on easily but suddenly what I found below bugs when developing an app. I know it's minor bug but it may be useful to anyone. Here is the error: Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'. Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'. Solution: This happens because after updates your android studio uses API 23 by default. 1) First check that your compile SDK version must match the support library's major version. If you are using version 23 of the support library, you need to compile against version 23 of the Android SDK. Alternatively you can continue compiling against version 22 of the Android SDK by switching to the latest support library v22.   2) Go to your project structure -> Properties -> and change Build tool version to...

Android: Check whether activity is in stack or not.

Solution There's possibility to check current tasks and their stack using ActivityManager . So, to determine if an activity is the last one: request android.permission.GET_TASKS permissions in the manifest. Use the following code: ActivityManager mngr = (ActivityManager) getSystemService( ACTIVITY_SERVICE );  List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskList = mngr.getRunningTasks(10); if(taskList.get(0).numActivities == 1 && taskList.get(0).topActivity.getClassName().equals(this.getClass().getName())) {             Log.i(TAG, "This is last activity in the stack");  }
