I'm trying to put a timer in my code to determine the amount of time it takes to execute a block of code.
I've tried googling up some ideas, but they are all related to scheduling tasks, which is not what I want.
I want to, perhaps, place a time stamp in different parts of my code. How can I do this?
I'm trying to get an application / reciever / anything that can perform a task once every minute. I'm trying to use the intent-filter "android.intent.action.TIME_TICK" which, in theory, sends an Intent message every minute.
Does anyone have any code that uses the android.intent.action.TIME_TICK intent? I can't seem to get it to send the intent to my application and I can't find anything much on the internet. Has anyone used it successfully?
I have a manifest.xml as below.

I have a list of checked items. I used the simple_list_item_multiple_choice.xml layout from android from the list. My requirement for this list is- When I check the checkbox of an item, the background color of that row will change. (For e.g. black background to green)- Then when I uncheck the checkbox, the background color of that row will back to original (green to black) Is there any way to implement that? What I want here is different from the orange color when you scroll the list, which is made by default for the list in Android.

When I press the button mulitple times the tick persists. I was wondering if this was the audio file itself or is there something I need to do differently with the SoundPool other than play simply play the clip. These are .ogg files I created using Audacity. When I play them in my dekstop media player, they sound fine.

When I first got my phone I was being charged for text notification from orange so I'm just wondering if this tick has something to do with that? If so, how do I turn them off?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to intercept the event that the apk has been updated in order to launch again my Timer. Indeed, I have a Timer wich is "scheduled AtFixedRate", but when my App is updated through the market, the timer is killed ; and if the user doesn't launch the App, the timer is not started (so my app becomes useless). How could I do to avoid it ? Is there an event to catch the "App updated" ? I searched, tried, but nothing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have to give a 20x20 presentation tomorrow and I'm looking for a timer app to help out. 20x20 means that each slide auto-advances after 20 seconds. I'd like to have a timer on my phone that would give me a quick glance of how much time I have left for each slide. Start it at 20 seconds, have it count down and when it hits zero, start over at 20. Seeing as it's just a timer app, I really would rather not pay $2 for StopWatch & Timer, which is the only one I've found that offers a looping timer. Does anyone have any ideas?

Is there a timer within Android that can be set for a given interval and when the interval has elapsed to send a signal back to a listener routine inthe main programme? Something like the way a button reacts when clicked.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a Timer in my android application, but i can't get it to work. When I start my application the Timer simply does not start. The application continues but does not update.The long "toStart" finds the number of seconds left of the current minute, and thereafter the period is set to 60 seconds. The TimerTask simply calls a method.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an app that lets you set a countdown timer on another app which causes it to force close. For example, I use my Eris as my MP3 player and would like to listen to it while I go to sleep, however I don't wanna let it play all night while I'm sleeping maybe just an hour or so.*Edit* Nevermind I found an app that does the job. Its called Music Sleep. It lets you set a timer that will close your music app in case anyone else was interested. It only costs 99 cents
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am presently working on GPS. I have to start GPS periodically. I mean I want GPS to start after a particular interval, get Location value and then stop taking location updates. For this, I'm calling requestLocationUpdates( , , ) method in a timer. Then in onLocationChanged(), I stop taking location by using removeUpdates(). Then after particular interval, it again starts taking values, then when location changes, it stops, and so on.
Here is my code:
CODE:.............
Now the problem is:It starts fine for the first time,when location changes it stops then starts again,but the timer stops running after that.I dont get any error or exception.I dont know where is the problem.As far as I am concirned,the problem is in timer......
I have an activity that uses a Timer (java.util.Timer) to control the display. I set it off to repeat its run() method every second or so. When it runs, it updates some View elements.
As Timer runs in its own thread, I assumed this would be reliable. But I notice that sometimes there is a stutter, or delay, in the views updating. It's like they occasionally get stacked up, and all happen together. Studying the output from logcat, I notice that this happens when the device is doing something else - some system functions, or sometimes a garbage collection.
How can I avoid this? I'm not aware I can run the main activity in a thread of its own, can I? If the timer has its own thread, why is it affected?
I've created an app that functions as a countdown timer via a thread, a wakelock, and a handler back to my activity. My question is, what will cause my thread to die, or app to not be running in memory anymore? I've had this happen once, and can't seem to recreate it again.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a class that is essentially a message manager (a singleton) that has a timer that polls for status. (statusPollerTask is just a derived class of TimerTask that has the run() defined)
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(this.statusPollerTask, 0, 1000);
Several Activities register themselves with the msg-man for updates (observer pattern style) as they become visible. Works fine, except if the user presses the Home button and minimizes the app. Sometimes the timer keeps polling other times it doesn't. I need to maintain the polling even when the app is not visible. I feel like I'm just missing something simple here.
