NativeActivity

Class Overview

Convenience for implementing an activity that will be implemented purely in native code. That is, a game (or game-like thing). There is no need to derive from this class; you can simply declare it in your manifest, and use the NDK APIs from there.

A typical manifest would look like:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.example.native_activity"
        android:versionCode="1"
        android:versionName="1.0">

    <!-- This is the platform API where NativeActivity was introduced. -->
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" />

    <!-- This .apk has no Java code itself, so set hasCode to false. -->
    <application android:label="@string/app_name" android:hasCode="false">

        <!-- Our activity is the built-in NativeActivity framework class.
             This will take care of integrating with our NDK code. -->
        <activity android:name="android.app.NativeActivity"
                android:label="@string/app_name"
                android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">
            <!-- Tell NativeActivity the name of or .so -->
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.lib_name"
                    android:value="native-activity" />
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest> 

A very simple example of native code that is run by NativeActivity follows. This reads input events from the user and uses OpenGLES to draw into the native activity's window.

From interface android.content.ComponentCallbacks2 int TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND Level for onTrimMemory(int): the process has gone on to the LRU list. int TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE Level for onTrimMemory(int): the process is nearing the end of the background LRU list, and if more memory isn't found soon it will be killed. int TRIM_MEMORY_MODERATE Level for onTrimMemory(int): the process is around the middle of the background LRU list; freeing memory can help the system keep other processes running later in the list for better overall performance. int TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL Level for onTrimMemory(int): the process is not an expendable background process, but the device is running extremely low on memory and is about to not be able to keep any background processes running. int TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_LOW Level for onTrimMemory(int): the process is not an expendable background process, but the device is running low on memory. int TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_MODERATE Level for onTrimMemory(int): the process is not an expendable background process, but the device is running moderately low on memory. int TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN Level for onTrimMemory(int): the process had been showing a user interface, and is no longer doing so.
