Question

I feel like an idiot for having to ask this question, but I have no idea what a slider interrupt is on Android, and a search of Google and Stackoverflow turned up nothing. Amazon sent me a rejection notice for my app because all of the activities except the main one (which they call, “pop up windows”) do not respond well to a slider interrupt. I have no seekbars anywhere in the app, so that isn’t the “slider” that they are referring to.

Also, one of the views in question isn’t a new activity at all, but a listview. It disappears on a “slider interrupt.” As far as I know, I have no control over what a listview dialog does in this case. Once I figure out what a slider interrupt is, how do I tell the listview not to close when it happens? I suppose I could track whether the listview is open and recall in onResume or whatever function handles slider interrupts. But without knowing what a slider interrupt is, it makes testing difficult.

Answer 1

I had the same problem with Amazon. I filed a ticket and here is the response:

A slider interrupt occurs on devices with a flip-out keyboard. While the app is running the keyboard is flipped out.
