Android :: Not Using A WakeLock - Why Does The Device Stay Awake

Apr 13, 2010

I have a service which, when started, does some stuff (like downloading files) typically taking about 2-3 minutes.

If I start this service and then immediately use the power button to switch off the screen, then I would expect the phone, at some point, to fall asleep. But it never seems to fall asleep while the service is still doing its stuff. At least, not on my Nexus One.

I'm not using a wake lock (though I do use WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON in the activity that monitors the service progress).

So is it true that I don't need to use a wake lock?

Android :: Some App Make Their Service Running

Sep 26, 2010

How do some android app make their service restart even if killed from task manager? A good example is Lookout security app. What I guess is that it has registered for all common events that are announced like app installed unistalled, interenet available ,etc.Is this a way to keep your service running ?Another solution I found was to make 2 services monitoring each other, so if one gets killed restart another.Which one would be a proper approach? Is there any way in android to start booting automatically(if device is switched off) once connected to power source? I have never heard this on mobile platform.This is possible for PC through bios feature. Can it be done on android?

Android :: Service Utilizing Custom Usb Device

Apr 28, 2009

I am looking to implement an Android service that will serve as the "driver/hardware access" for a device that will connect to the usb host port. Is there a good framework or example showing how I can make a service interact with this device? Its not a standard device that Android already supports other than the fact it connects via usb.

I am able to do this with linux libusb native code already but what would be the pathway to make this work through the android java framework?

I want to avoid having to make a kernel level driver for this that is why I prefer to have this implemented as a service for other apps to access the device.

Android :: Returning An XML File From Web Service To Device

Aug 10, 2010

I have a set of mp3 files on my computer which i want to be the server. Now i have a web service(Songs_Collection). This web service returns the list of all songs present on the server to the user.The user can download the desired file directly from the server.

I have a small problem :

How does my web service get the list of audio files kept on the server in the folder c:Audio Files.

Someone suggested that i need to keep the names in a "Web Content" folder, but can anyone suggest how should i approach it?

I worked out on this part . But now how do I send it to the client on device ?

Can i send it directly as an array? I guess then some seriliazation-deserialization needs to be done. Or If send it as an XML file then how should I proceed? (This is more important)

Android :: Start A Service During Device Boot-up

May 24, 2010

I have written a class which extends the Service class of android and would like to launch the service during device boot-up. From the service I would like to receive the intents such as boot completed and screen off and on. Currently I am using a BroadcastReceiver to get the boot completed intent and then on starting a service to receive screen on and off intents. But I would like to remove either the broadcast receiver or the service. Any inputs.

Android :: How To Start Service Without Rebooting Device?

Jun 17, 2010

I've read the posts that state that there is no way to automatically start a service right after the package is installed. In my case, i have two apps- one runs as a service and collects data, the other displays it. the second app has the Activity which can be used to start the service. in order to provide the most accurate information, the service must be started immediately after installation. however, if the user decides not to run the activity immediately, then there would be a gap between the time the service is installed, versus when it gets started. of course, asking user to reboot after installation is one option, but not a great user experience. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Android :: New Service - Link To Market From Device And Computer

Apr 1, 2010

I just launched my app VLC Remote and was surprised to see that there isn't a way to post a link to the app on the market that works both on my android device and also in my browser.

-so I made a way, and I'm opening it up for all-comers.

What it does is lets you post an http link like this

http://and-download.hobbyistsoftware.com/android/download?name=VLC Remote&q=pname:com.hobbyistsoftware.android.vlcremote

If someone clicks on the link from an android device, then the link opens in the market. If they click from their computer, then it offers to send them a link by email (so they can click on the link on their device).

the download emails have a (subtle) advert for my app, but the feature is clearly your app!

details are here:[url]

Android :: Protocol To Secure A Connection Between A Mobile Device / A Web Service?

Jun 30, 2009

I'm looking for a protocol to secure a connection between a mobile device and a web service. I want to ensure that only the mobile device can perform actions on the web service and vice versa. Data doesn't need to be encrypted. I know Oauth, but it seems that it's more used to secure connections when you got 3 different entities (Server, Consumer and Auth). Here, the Consumer and the User would be the same person. Is there a simple protocol to do that (without requiring the user to login and then authorize the access token like it is the case for Oauth)? I need to use it on different plateforms, so the protocol needs to be available at least on iPhone and PHP.
