Android :: Multiple Activities Binding To A Service

Aug 3, 2010

I have a service component (common task for all my apps), which can be invoked by any of the apps. I am trying to access the service object from the all activities, I noticed that the one which created the service [startService(intent)] has the right informaion. But rest does not get the informaion needed.

My Code is as below:

CODE:................

If I invoke startService(intent). it creates a new service and runs in parallel to the other service.

If I don't invoke startService(intent), serviceObj.getData() retuns null value.

Android :: One Local Service Multiple Binding Activities

Nov 20, 2010

I have a local Service to which multiple activites needs to bind. In the first launched Activity, bindService returns true and onServiceConnected is called. But in any additionally launched activites bindService returns false, and I can't get a reference to my Service.

How can multiple activities simultaneously be connected to a local Service?

Android :: Service Interacting With Multiple Activities

Jun 29, 2010

I'm trying to refactor/redesign an Android app. Currently, I've one UI activity (Activity 1) that creates a DataThread. This thread is responsible for network I/O and interacts (provides data) with the UI activity via a handler.

Now, I want to add another activity (a new UI screen with Video) - Activity 2. Activity 1 is still the main activity. Activity 2 will be invoked when the user clicks a button on Activity 1. Activity 2's data also comes from the DataThread.

My idea is to put the logic of my DataThread inside an Android Service (DataService). My question is - can more than on activity bind to my DataService at the same time? Is there a way to tell the service to provide data to a specific activity only?

Android :: Bind Service To Multiple Activities Advice

May 19, 2010

I'm new to Android development and am working on a small test project. I have a service, which communicates with an SQLite3 database, and two activities. A main activity which fetches database information via the service and displays it and a second activity which allows me to add data to the database via the service.

Currently, I have a singleton class which implements the ServiceConnection interface and I'm binding this to the service in the the main activity using the bindService function. Because it's a singleton, I can then use this service connection in both the main activity and second activity to work with the database and it all seems to work quite well.

However, I'm all the time aware that the service connection is bound to the main activity and I'm wondering if this is the wrong/bad way to do it? Would I be best off having two service connections, one in each activity, and binding each to the service?

Android :: Handling Events From One Service For Multiple Activities

Jun 10, 2010

I have a class A which extends TabActivity and creates Activities B, C and D as tabs in its onCreate() function. Also, class A initializes another service handler class S which is responsible for establishing a connection to a service and implementing callback handlers for the service. Any of the Activities B, C and D should be able to receive events from the service and update accordingly. If I receive any event in class S from the the service then I want to call a function in Activity B which would be responsible to update the UI elements in Activity B based on the event received. You can assume that the user is in Activity B when the event arrives.

Can I call an activity function like the following in the stub handler for the callback in my class S -

Android :: Should I Use Local Service Binding?

Oct 5, 2009

I am very new beginner, and I am designing a small application as below.

- After a user starts the application, he/she can click the start button to start a background task. (e.g. retrieving the news headlines periodically, then do something...)

- Even after the user quits the application, the background task still running.

- To stop the background task, the user needs to run the application again, and clicks the stop button to stop the background task.

In the above scenario, what API should I use ? (Local Service Binding ? Remote Service Binding ? Handler ?)

Android :: Binding Service To Activity

Dec 16, 2009

I am working on an android application, where the activity binds to a local service to perform certain tasks.Now I am binding the service in the OnCreate method of the Activity, after which the activity has to use the service object to invoke the functionality defined in the servicein the OnStart method. The problem here is that once a call "bindservice" has been made, we might not get the serviceobject immediately, so my service object would be null till that time. So i cannot invoke the service functions.So is there a way to determine in the activity that the service has been bound and the service object is valid and could be used now. For reference i'm attaching a code snippet for the same.

Android :: Pros - Cons Of Multiple Activities In An App Vs One Activity - Multiple Views

Aug 16, 2010

Are there design guidelines to help decide if an application with multiple views should be designed with multiple activities or just one activity and control the back button itself.

I've tried both. My most complex applications using one activity per screen. However, now that I'm successfully written an app with just one activity and handling the back button myself, I don't see any compelling reason to use multiple activities. The one activity application is much simpler and more straightforward.

What advantages of multiple activities am I missing?

Android :: Binding Service To Activity Vs Application

Jul 1, 2010

Is there any fundamental difference in binding a service to an android.app.Activity vs binding it to an android.app.Application. I want to bind the service to an Application because I want to keep some global state/data in the Application instead of duplicating it in all my activities.

Android :: Binder Is Leaked By Binding To A Service

Jul 30, 2010

I made a code for my understanding of Android Service class.

It has just a single Activity and Service in apk. Service is the same as the sample code of API reference as below: http://developer.android.com/intl/ja/reference/android/app/Service.ht...

A client side is an Activity based on the above sample, and just added the following code:

CODE:.......

My sample application has a check box which starts(binds)/unbind to the local service on a single process. The local service instance is created by every bind request (and destroyed by every unbind).

If I press the button repeatedly, then LocalService$LocalBinder is leaked!

The problem is not resolved even If I set an obtained binder to null (like below).

Android :: Binding To Service In OnCreate() Or In OnResume()

Feb 20, 2010

I want to know what es the best place in an Activity to bind to a service? I saw examples doing it in onResume() and also in onCreate(). I was asking myself if it is not a problem putting it into onCreate(), cause in onPause() i will do a unbind to the service, so i dont get a serviceConnectionLeak, if i leave the activity. Now if i press the Home-Button and then switching to the HomeScreen, the Activity will unbind from the service, when i go back to the Activity from the Taskmanager, then onCreate() will not be called and if the Code is trying to access a function from the service i will get a null-pointer exception. If i bind and unbind only in onResume() and onPause() i dont have this problem.

Android :: Should App's With Multiple Layouts Have Multiple Activities To Handle Each

Jul 1, 2010

I'm planning to develop and app that presents the users with several different screens (of different information).
Was wondering what would be the best way to implement this?

Is it better to have separate XML layouts and an activity to display and allow the user to interact with each screen of data?

OR would handling all of these in the same activity be more efficient (and dynamically load / unload each layout)?

Android :: Cursor Adapter - Binding Multiple Item Values In ListView

Jan 12, 2010

I have the following code to intantiate a SimpleCursorAdapter to use with a ListView. As you can see I have passed the R.layout.log_item to display the list items, and one value/control to bind to (TripDate).

SimpleCursorAdapter sca = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.log_item,c,new String[] {DBAdapter.KEY_LOG_TRIPDATE},new int[]{R.id.txtTripDate});

This works. I currently only have one widget in the layout xml, a TextView to hold the TripDate.
How do I pass multiple binding parameters for the additional widgets in the layout? So I can also display other info.

Android :: How To Use Multiple Map Activities / Views?

Jul 31, 2010

My situation is the following: I have written one MapActivity class that is able to display a set of places as well as single places. On startup, the application creates an instance of this MapActivity and displays multiple places. If the user clicks on a certain place, then a new Activity is launched that shows the details of the selected place. This activity has a menu item that allows the user to view the place on a map - this causes that a new instance of the MapActivity is created, except that now only this single place is displayed.

The problem now is that if the user navigates back to the first MapActivity (the one that shows multiple places) the tiles won't be loaded anymore + sometimes OutOfMemoryErrors are encountered. According to the Android JavaDocs, it is only possible to have one MapActivity per process. However, I don't want to define my MapActivity as a singleInstance/singleTask, since the user should always be able to navigate back to the first MapActivity that shows multiple places. I have seen that the Google Places app (which has come with Google Map 4.4) for Android uses multiple MapActivity instances. How is this possible?

Android :: Multiple OpenGL Activities

Mar 18, 2010

I'm having a problem when I create a Sub-Activity to my main activity. Both activities have their own GLSurfaceViews. Nothing on Logcat. Basically It just opens up the new view and it's black and it never renders with the new opengl stuff. I've tried a bunch of stuff, just want to know if there's some special way I need to pause the first opengl activity to get the second to run, or if there's some toggle which I am missing, or if it just can't be done. When I open the second activity with a GLSurface View, the first activity stops drawing frames, but the second one, never initializes or starts to draw.
