Android :: ClassCastException While Using Service
May 2, 2010
I defined a local Service:
CODE:.....
The corresponding interface:
CODE:...
Then i try to bind the service in another activity in another application, where the same interface is available:
CODE:........
And
CODE:.........
But the line
CODE:......
Always throws a
CODE:...........
I can't explain why, I followed the app sample on http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/LocalServiceBinding.html.

I'm suffering from this for a week, i was trying to use the famous SeekBarPreference in a dialog - http://android.hlidskialf.com/blog/code/android-seekbar-preference
I copied the class from above link into my project. Then created the xml as brightness.xml:
CODE:............
Finally I try to integrate it as custom dialog:
CODE:...................
But always getting error: "Error inflating class java.lang.reflect.Constructor" at this line "<com.yoomap.anymode.SeekBarPreference" in the xml
Root cause: ClassCastException on SeekBarPreference.

I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but...Why can't I nest another view type within a View element? In my layout file I try:
CODE:...
And this gives me a ClassCastException. Why?

I am new to java, eclipse, and android development, so I may be missing something simple although I have checked basic stuff like spelling several times.
Because there is no number picker control (such as that used in the date picker) in the public Android SDK, the conventional wisdom is to "clone and own" the control that exists in the Android source.
In an attempt to do that, I have copied the code for NumberPicker into my project and its dependency, NumberPickerButton. I have also copied the supporting resources.
The problem I am having is that when I try to include the NumberPicker in a layout, the rendered version of the layout within Eclipse does not work.
CODE:...............
Adding that tag causes the Layout view of the XML file to only show the following error.
ClassCastException: com.spencerandbrown.PatientTracker1.NumberPickerButton cannot be cast to com.spencerandbrown.PatientTracker1.NumberPickerButton
I have tried both the fully qualified name and the unqualified name and it makes no difference.
The strange thing is that the control works at run time, it just will not render in Eclipse.
Is there a solution for this issue? Am I just doing something wrong?
If necessary, I can include more code from my project to clarify.
If I reference the internal Android widget, it works fine in the Eclipse layout view, but it is clumsy to interact with that way and it might break in the future.
CODE:............
Here is the stack trace from Eclipse.

This is probably related to this question. I want to know if anyone else gets the same error as me and if there is a way to get around this. I did the following: Followed the instructions from this page. From the top, go to File -> Create a new project -> Android Project -> Create project from existing sample. Checked Android 2.2. From the drop-down menu picked SkeletonApp. Clicked finish. From the package explorer, went to SkeletonActivity -> res -> layout -> skeleton_activity.xml. In the tabs at the bottom of the editor area (editor area is the center of the screen) clicked on Layout. Then I got the error "ClassCastException: android.widget.EditText cannot be cast to andoid.text.ViewGroup". The full text of the error message is given below.
java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.EditText cannot be cast to android.view.ViewGroup

I've been trying to add a linear layout to a listview header. The listview appears fine and is working as expected, but when i try to add a linearlayout to the header i get a java.lang.ClassCastException: android.view.ViewGroup$LayoutParams occuring at the list.addHeaderView (ll); line. I thought it might be something in the complex layout i had so i switched it to just a linearlayout with a colored background and still got the same error. The end result i an trying to get is a list with a header that is all scrollable.

I've run into an early problem with developing for android. I've made my own custom View (which works well). In the beginning i just added it to the layout programmatically, but i figured i could try putting it into the XML layout instead (for consistency).
So what i got is this:
main.xml:
CODE:..........
(Theres obviously more, but you get the point)
Now, this is the stacktrace:
CODE:...........
Why cant i cast my custom view? I need it to be that type since it has a few extra methods in it that i want to access. Should i restructure it and have another class handle the logic, and then just having the view being a view? I'd really like this to work though.

I am writing a adapter for a specific app, the problem I met is:
I have only 1 listview in main.xml, and the row style is defined in file_row.xml. If I simply use list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, items)); where items is a ArrayList<String>, everything works well.
But if I use my custom Adapter, say, list.setAdapter(new MyOwnListAdapter(this, filename)); and in the class of MyOwnListAdapter, the code has been simplified as
CODE:................
But I always met the problem which is:
CODE:.........
I thought the self-defined Adapter class actually has only one line of valid execution, which is super(context, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, filename_list); It's essentially identical to direct calling of list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, items)); Then why I always got this error if I call my own Adapter?

I have a service running in the background.I have a background thread that gets a reference to the service from the application's main activity. But when the background thread calls a method in the service to display a toast, I get the "Looper not initialized exception".Why,if I have a valid, bound reference to a Service, does this still happen?

I am trying to run the sample soft keyboard included in the SDK. I am using the debugger, and the literature says that to use a breakpoint while debugging a SERVICE, I need to include:
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
So here is the portion of the code I modified:
CODE:...........
I have put a couple of breakpoints, at the statements indicated by the comments.
This is what happens: the debugger first stops at the breakpoint1, for a few seconds. But then the service restarts. For the life of me I can't figure out what makes the service to restart.

My service works exactly the way i want as long as i use start and stop and communicate using intents. However my activity needs to change the state of my service as well as retrieving state information.So i thought it would be nice to broadcast some kind of state_changed event from my service and use a binder interface to pull information from the service or change the services state based on user input.This works fine too. The only problem is that my service gets killed when i unbind it just as the documentation says.Is there any way to keep the service alive but still get an interface to control it directly. My activity offers the user a way to stop the service and the service kills itself anyway after it's work is done but i don't want the service to stop every time the activity is destroyed.

I'm confused about whether I need to run my service in a separate process. What are the advantages / disadvantages of each?For reference I'm trying to create an App that uses a service to play [streaming] audio in the background. So which one is better for my use case?

what I'm trying to do here is implement something like a peer-to-peer client. Being that, it will start a client thread and a server thread.I know Services themselves run in the main GUI thread, so I'll have to start a couple of independent threads (or Asynctasks?) for each server and client. The only thing I'm not so sure about is if I'll better have 1 Service starting 2 threads, or maybe 2 services, each one of them starting their own thread.

I am developing an Android app which needs to poll a specific webpage in time intervals. I've got it to the point where it does indeed poll the page on a specific interval, and that interval is specified in a SharedPreference which can be changed by the user in the settings page of the app. But complications arise when network connectivity is flaky.For example, how do I ensure that the Service "wakes up" the network adapter and gives it ample time to connect before polling the page, in the case that the phone was sleeping to save power? This polling action can happen as little as once every 24 hours, so I don't want to miss one action just because the network was out (but turned on a few seconds, minutes, or even hours later).
Or there are times when the web service doesn't respond, or DNS doesn't respond, or what have you, and for any reason it doesn't get a response even though the phone is technically connected. What sort of rule do I put in place to make this retry later, so that I'm not retrying repeatedly when the user specifically turned off their internet but I'm retrying soon enough that if it was just a hiccup, the data can be received soon after the first try?Are there any examples for this type of situation? What is the logic to best handle this?

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.

I am creating a application whose only component is a service which keeps on running in background (basically a proxy server) but I am not able to find a way how to start that service. Application can not have any UI or user interaction so I am not using Activity.Broadcast receiver can listen to BOOT broadcast but how do I start service first time when it is installed and how can I keep it running?or is there a broadcast which I can listen after app is installed e.g. may be TIME_TICK but that has to be registered from activity i think.

I would like to know the best practices for running a Service every day at 4AM.The way I think I should be doing it is to create a new repeating alarm using AlarmManager and having it run the service at 4AM. Problem is, I'm not sure where to put the code to set the alarm.Do I do it in my main activity as one of the first tasks in the OnCreate method? Do I do some funky stuff with BroadcastReceivers and intents? What happens when a user updates my app? What happens when a user restarts?Any help with these questions would be much appreciated.Sample code would be helpful as well!
