> Now I just want to update the GUI from this method. > Can I somehow call a method in PushEndpointDemo.java? No, for two reasons: 1. Because C2DMReceiver is a manifest-registered BroadcastReceiver and therefore has no access to any activities 2. There might not be an activity, since you have no control over the timing of when the C2DM message is received (e.g., the user pressed BACK, the user pressed HOME) > Do I need a Broadcast Intent to do this? Possibly. -- If you want to update an activity or else ignore the message, have C2DMReceiver send out a private broadcast, picked up by a receiver registered via registerReceiver() in the activity -- If you want to update an activity or else raise a notification, have C2DMReceiver send out an ordered broadcast, as described here: http://commonsware.com/blog/2010/08/11/activity-notification-ordered-... -- If you want to update a database, call startActivity() on an IntentService, and have it do the database I/O, plus possibly broadcast an Intent to update an activity/raise a notification.

If your data is stored in a SQLite database on the device, performing a full-text search (using FTS3, rather than a LIKE query) can provide a more robust search across text data and can produce results significantly faster.

If your data is stored online, then the perceived search performance might be inhibited by the user's data connection. You might want to display a spinning progress wheel until your search returns.

On an HTC Hero, this EXTRA_OUTPUT doesn't even work. It doesn't put your picture in the file you specify, but it hands it to you thru a Mediastore uri. Apparently, the only way to get a full size picture is to do all camera handling in your app instead of using the IMAGE_CAPTURE intent.

I think Google have missed a trick on this one. They have defined standard intents for media capture, but not specified standard responses (ie. the "data" parameter in the onActivityResult Activity callback method). Other Android vendors (e.g. HTC Hero) have created their own Camera applications that handle the standard IMAGE_CAPTURE intent, but return different data & have different ways to save/return the image information. All I want is to be able to fire a IMAGE_CAPTURE intent from my own app, and get back a Uri reference to the captured image. Simple. I have no requirement to further manipulate the image .. I just need the Uri to store in my app's database for future reference.
