I have an app that listens to incoming Calls. If the user has another app that listens to the same (Call popup applications in specific) my process is getting killed - any solutions or ideas on how to prevent this ?

As is mentioned above,What i'm trying is to protect a sub- thread,and keep it going on as long as the App that starts it is still alive.In other words,If the system need more resources,Let it kill both the App main thread and the sub-thread started from it,Instead of just kill the sub-thread.Is there any way i can do this ?? And another question here,The android system seems to be "rude",As it killed my thread without telling me,even in the logs,Is this the case?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an android app that listens for json commands over a socket. I am wondering how I can implement this as a background service. The service would receive the commands and depending on which commands they are, notify the user, or update data within the main program. Some code examples would be great if anyone has them. I've got an example of how to build a background service however it uses timers. I'd like for socket to always be listening.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having another problem with my milestone that I'd like to share with developers and Android coders: Whenever I run memory-intensive applications while I have an IM app running in the background, the IM app is often killed without any user notification whatsoever.Take this scenario for instance (works every time on my Milestone): A few background apps are already running: Sipdroid, Locale, Titanium Backup's service... 2. Launch Nimbuzz (or Fring, eBuddy or Meebo - it's reproducible on all of them) 3. Use lots of memory - for instance with a browser (open lots of windows will full desktop sites), or by launching multiple memory- intensive applications at once (Maps Navigation or other navigation apps work well)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if I'm not alone in this: I have a rooted Evo 4G LTE running Jelly Bean/Paranoid Android 2.13. I'm running into an issue with running audio apps like Google Play Music and Doggcatcher. Basically sometimes if I'm playing something and I switch to another app, a few moments or minutes later the audio dies and the audio app gets killed. I can tell because when I enter back into Doggcatcher, the loading screen starts up as if it wasn't running before. Is this a case of over aggressive task killing? Is there a way to prevent this at all?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to come up with an app that works on the call that a user gets on his phone. For this I wanted to know whether it is possible for me to get intimated when a call comes to the phone and is it possible to intercept the same.I tried to go through quite a few forums but could not get conclusive evidence on how to achieve this.Does anyone have an idea whether this is feasible and if so then how?

When I'm the university library I've to put the cellphone in silent mode and often I end up loosing calls&SMS while I'm working on my laptop.
So it would be very nice if there was a way to notify me with incoming calls (maybe on windows 7 task bar) while my cellphone is connected to the pc via USB.
Does anyone know a way to achieve this?

Question.. Is there anything out there that allows you to broadcast an incoming call (either an alert tone or a ringtone) over a boat or car stereo? I'm looking for something that, while I'm on our boat listening to music or the engines are running, or both, will do this so I don't miss calls. I know there's something out there to broadcast music from your phone over the stereo and you can take incoming calls, etc.. But I either listen to Sirius or my iPOD and won't be using my phone as a music source.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have had my evo for a little over a month now and I love it, only problem is it wont accept any incoming calls anymore. At first it would accept some but now it I don't get any. I updated to froyo today hoping it might fix something but no luck. I took it to sprint a few days ago he updated it and said see if it works now if it doesn't take it to the repair shop and if they cant fix it then they will give you a new one but I don't know how you'll be able to get a new one because we don't have any. I would rather not get a new one because I got the invisible shield put on my phone and I would rather not have to waste money getting a new one/putting it on. Has anyone else heard of evos doing this or know of anything that could make this happen? Everything else works fine on the phone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to know whether this is actually possible in Android?
When Android phone receives an incoming call from a specific number the phone's ringing should stop and also the screen should not blink. What I mean is the user should not be able to know that there was incoming call, but actually there was.
I do not want to delete any call logs, just to stop sound on incoming call from a specific number and that too at a specific time.
How can we reject incoming phone call in android if the incoming number is already stored in phonebook.
What method is used to reject incoming calls? I know how to detect incoming calls but don't know how to reject.
I just upgraded my Sprint HTC Hero to the latest official firmware. I was looking for 2 apps if they exist:
1: I had a program on 1.5 that was called city caller ID and it displayed the city and state of incoming calls. When I upgraded to the newest software, I can't locate this software in the Android market. So I was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions on Caller ID apps that work good?
2: In regards to the other app, I was wondering if they had something like the Blackberry does where when I have the phone plugged in and the screen times out, a clock would be on the screen instead of just the normal black screen?
Is it possible to set up a number (e.g. Google Voice or something else) and link that number to your mobile #, such that who ever calls you first dials the "proxy" number and the proxy is what directs them to you?
I ask because I have the 10 friends and family thing and I'd like to do a "one to many" by placing my proxy number on the list of numbers (so calls aren't deducted from my plan's minutes) and having certain people dial that number to get to me.
That way, the incoming number would (in theory) be the proxy number and therefore static, so that I could talk to non-Verizon people without the calls eating into my minutes.
I know one question will be: "So why not just list that phone number on your 10 friends and family list?"
Answer: Because I want a dummy proxy number so that, if I ever (i.e. can't anticipate which numbers they'll be) need to make a long call to a non-Verizon #, I can just have them dial that proxy number.
Make sense? Is this possible?
I also heard from a friend once about SIP or PBX virtual hosting to get all my calls onto VoIP through 3G or WiFi. That's something else that sounds like it works (because that person mentioned they were setting it up) and I may try if I can't do what I'm requesting above.
I have gone through many threads in this group about avoiding the use of everlasting Services, Timer/TimerTask sleep issues and detecting phone calls, but not finding the answers I am looking for this app, I will really appreciate any help you can provide me. I am working on an App to detect incoming calls and when the call time is equal to 5 minutes indicate the user by vibrating the phone. In my strategy I am creating a Receiver that listens for RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED action and launch an everlasting Service which sets up a PhoneState Listener.
1) Is there any other strategy to be always listening for incoming calls and thus avoide to using an on boot created Service? (besides the Service eventually gets killed and I am not able to detect incoming calls) A first approach I took here was setting up a Timer and TimerTask when CALL_STATE_RINGING state was detected and after 5 min (if the call continues) vibrate the phone for 2 seconds. However sometimes the timer phone vibrates after an hour a call was placed (the vibration happens in the run() TimerTask method. I know Android can go to sleep and that could be the reason my timer is not run on time but 2) How can Android be slept if I am in a call? Is the call just handled by the modem or how come? Next, to overcome this issue I tried preventing the Service from going to sleep by putting it in foreground state calling startForeground (NOTIFICATION_ID , notification), still the same behaviour the timer is run long after the call was placed 3) does startForeground prevent Android going to sleep or it is just aimed to keep the Service's process in memory? 4) A wake lock would do this job ? (I have not tried this) Encouraged by many post I tried using an Alarm and it works (thought I do not want to use it because I think it should be possible to accomplish with something lighter) but when the phone vibrates it just keeps vibrating till I remove the phone from my cheek (the screen is turned on again) 5) Why? Is it that Android started vibrating the phone and then went to sleep? so the vibration is turned off when Android awakes, when the screen is turned on again? 6? Ideas of how to stop the timer?
