Android :: Activity Starts Remote Service

Oct 8, 2010

My initial activity is basically a splash screen while preforming initialization and login in to network server. To save memory I want to finish() the splash activity once it starts the main menu activity. I still want the remote service to operate. Testing shows it does. But am I going to get into trouble doing this? I know I can restart the remote from the main menu activity but I am trying to save overhead by not starting it twice. The remote service is required by the splash activity.

Android :: Remote Service Destroyed When Main Activity Closed / How To Fix?

Nov 19, 2010

I wrote an android program that: has a main activity for UI, and it starts a service. The service timely callbacks the UI activity to update views. It works fine except: if the activity is closed (with BACK) and start again, the service will also be started again (The service plays audio file, so there are two overlapped sounds). I use bindService with BIND_AUTO_CREATE flag to start and connect to service. According to the document, it should create service only if it doesn't exist, but obviously it starts another instance when opened second time. All I want is when the activity is closed, the service goes on running, and when the activity opens again, it can reconnect to the service. Is that possible? Or I just misunderstand the usage of service?

Android :: Unbind Remote Service In OnDestroy Of Activity On Screen Orientation Change

Nov 24, 2010

In onCreate method of Activity, it binds to a remote service and makes use of AIDL intefaces. Is it required to unbind from the remote service when onDestroy is called on screen orientation change.?

If the activity un-bounded from the remote service in onDestroy and if no other contexts are bound to remote service, is remote service likely to get stopped losing the state that it maintains.?

Android :: Running Activity From Local Service

Sep 13, 2010

I'm trying to create a program with a service that runs every 10 seconds, puts the camera preview, taking a picture and then leaving the user to continue his work (closing down). Currently I have two problems:

1. After I'm taking the picture, the preview still there. There's no function like close() to return to the previous activity. How can I return to the previous activity?

2. I'm trying to run the above described activity from the run() function (from the timer class that execute the run() function every 10 seconds). When I do that, a runtime exception is raised. But when I start the above described activity from a button clicked (not from the timer) it works fine.

Android :: Way To Find Out Current Running Activity From A Service?

Aug 4, 2009

I have been looking for this for a while but I can't find any way of doing it. A contrived example would be a service that simply displays the name of the current running activity as an Ongoing Notification. For instance, when the user is reading a particular email, the name of the activity (hopefully the email title!) would appear in the notifications window and when the user switches to read a text message, the notification would change to show the name of the new activity. Is there a way to do this in Android?

Android :: How To Find Service Running When Activity Resumes?

Dec 9, 2009

I've created my first service, and it's all gone fine, except when the main activity is stopped. What I want is for a user action (button press etc) to start the service, which it does. Then I want the user, some time later, to press another button to stop the service. Which it does. But if the main activity loses focus (i.e. I go to the home screen) when I return to the activity it has no knowledge of the service anymore - even though the service is still running. When the activity resumes, how do I find out a) if the service is running, and if so b) re-bind to it, so that I can then stop it and collect the data I'm after.

Android :: Pop Up Dialog Or Activity From Service Running In Background When Keyguard Locked?

Nov 19, 2010

I have an application in which there will be a service continuously running in background and on certain conditions service should call an activity or pop-up a dialog. I think this is possible. The question is, in case device keyguard gets on say after 2 minutes of idle time then will the service continue running in background. And what will happen when the condition of opening pop-up or Activity is reached.

Android :: Activity Crashes When Remote Service Crashes

Jul 16, 2010

I'm trying to understand remote services at the moment and everything works fine, i can start the service and know how to communicate with it through the AIDL-interface. My problem is that the service seems to still run in the same process like the activity it was started from, because the activity crashes too, if there is an error thrown in the Service.

I set the service process to remote ( android:process=":remote" ) so what am i doing wrong? Or what do i have to do to unbind the service-process completely from the activity-process?

Android :: Android Remote Service Doesn't Call Service Methods

May 28, 2010

I'm developing a GPS tracking software on android. I need IPC to control the service from different activities. So I decide to develop a remote service with AIDL.This wasn't a big problem but now it's always running into the methods of the interface and not into those of my service class. Maybe someone could help me?If i now try to call a method from an activity for example start(trackId) nothing happens. The binding is OK. When debugging it always runs into the startTracking() in the generated ITrackingServiceRemote.java file and not into my TrackingService class. Where is the problem? I can't find anything wrong.

Android :: API Demo Remote Service Example

Sep 22, 2009

I am studying RemoteService example in Android's APISample. In the manifest file, it declares the service like this: My question is how can I specify the service to be 'auto-start', i.e. it gets start whenever the phone start?

<service android:name=".app.RemoteService" android:process=":remote" >
<intent-filter>
<!-- These are the interfaces supported by the service, which
you can bind to. -->
<action

android:name="com.example.android.apis.app.IRemoteService" />

Android :: Remote Service - Reconnecting

Aug 11, 2010

I have implemented a RemoteService which will increment a countere ( just for testing purposes ). Therefore I have a Task class which implements Runnable and the method run() where a infinite while loop increments the variable.

From the client side, I start the RemoteService with startService and then i bind to the service. When I close the activity, the service is still running. Now i want to rebind to the service.

How do I know if the service has already been started (therefore i would only need to bind to the service again) or not (then I would need to call startService() first and then bind to the service)?

What would happen, if I call startService() if the service is already running? Does the OS start a second service, or will it affect the service which is already running?

Android :: Broadcast Receiver And Remote Service

Jan 20, 2010

I'm hoping to do some audio processing in a remote service (service I've spawned onto its own thread); this will basically occur in a while (1) loop so constant processing. Occasionally I want to provide some information back to the activity that is bound to the service; I'm doing this by sending a broadcast from the service, that is received by a broadcast receiver on the activity, which then uses the activity's service connection to call into the service and get the information needed; at this point the broadcast receiver makes an alert dialog presenting the information to the user.If I stay in my while(1) loop after raising the broadcast, the action in the broadcast receiver never seems to occur.This is confusing to me since the activity and service are in separate threads.If I end the loop after raising the broadcast, the desired behavior on the activity side occurs, but of course this isn't acceptable since I need to be doing constant processing.

Android :: Does Use Of A Remote Service Help Avoiding GC Lags

May 18, 2010

Since yesterday I got an idea running around my mind but I donīt know first if it would work, and then how "hack" it would be.

People who develop audio processing/recording/playback apps for Android know how hard it is to maintain GC away from our critical paths: playing and recording audio. Processing must be as optimized as possible not only to save battery and use less CPU, but also not to create new objects/allocate new memory spaces ... this all to avoid GC at all cost. Well, we have knowledge and this we can handle (mostly). But what about all the other processing that happens from and for user interaction? Media players display images, some apps display ads, ... and sometimes we have to avoid releasing features to the users just to maintain our critical paths free from GC.

Yesterday I stumbled upon an article about remote services and this led me to a doubt: if they can run as a different process, would a GC call from my activity impact the performance of my remote service? I really donīt know how GC works on the Dalvik so this may be a dumb question. If so, I apologize.

Android :: Step Through Code In Remote Service

Is there a way to step through code in a remote service? What I do now is install the service, then run the app that starts it and use trace output. Is there a way to perhaps automatically start the service upon installation, and have it stop at break points? Or is there another method?

Android :: Multithreading And Progress Dialog With Remote Service

Apr 28, 2010

I like to do some long running initializing work in a remote service, and during that, a progress dialog shall be shown. So basicly, I invoke ProgressDialog.show, run a oneway method of the service with a callback to be invoked when it's finished, and in the callback dismiss the dialog. I expected the service method to work in it's own process while the activity shows the progress dialog. But what happens instead (according to debugger and logs) is: ProgressDialog.show and service method invocation return immediately, then the service method is processed, and finally the progress dialog is shown for a few milliseconds right before it's dismissed. Even a "not responding" error might occur during that. If I invoke the service method in an own thread, which (as it's to be expected) is finished long before the service method is done, everything works fine. But I don't get why this is necessary. Why does a remote service method block the Activity thread? This even happens if the service method only does a Handler.post and returns immediately.

Simplyfied code overview: Activity: public void onStart() { startService(...); bindService(...);}

Android :: Bind Remote Service - That Installed On Device

Sep 5, 2010

I have coded this service, that computes stuff and i want other applications to be able to bind this service, i.e. i want to enable other programmers to communicate with this service. problem is, this has to work without these other programmers to get access to the source code. just the (installed) apk with the remote service is given (and of course a detailed description of the service' interface)...problem is, eclipse keeps braggin' about that the packages of the service are not available in source code...

Android :: Aidl Remote Service Call Namespace

May 16, 2009

I didn't find a sufficient answer to my problem in any posts, if there already is one, please excuse and point me to it, thanks. I made 2 projects. project 1 hast an activity that binds to a service from project 2 on a button click (all just for testing).

How can I make project 1 know (import) my TestInterface (from TestInterface.aidl out of project 2) for usage in: "TestInterface mService = (TestInterface) TestInterface.Stub.asInterface(service);"

without adding project 2 to the build path, because if I'd have an installed service without the project code, I couldn't do it this way, too...?? I read in one thread that TestInterface.aidl should just be added to project 1, too, but if I do this, in DDMS enforceInterface() complains and seems to just see/use the interface from project 1 and it doesn't work.

2. issue:...............
