Android :: Executed ASyncTask In Activity But Not Working

Feb 18, 2010

private class ExecuteLocations extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void>{
private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(ListProfiles.this);
protected void onPreExecute() {
//this.dialog.setMessage("Starting pre-execute...");
//this.dialog.show();
} @Override protected Void doInBackground(String... arg0) {
check_profiles_lm=(LocationManager) ListProfiles.this.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
myLocListen = new LocationListener(){
@Override public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { HashMap params = new HashMap();
params.put("lat", Double.toString(location.getLatitude()));
params.put("long", Double.toString(location.getLongitude()));
postData("http://mydomain.com",params);
} @Override public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,Bundle extras) {
} @Override public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
} @Override public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
} };
check_profiles_lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 30000, 0, myLocListen);
return null; } protected void onPostExecute(final Void unused) {
if (this.dialog.isShowing()) { //this.dialog.dismiss();
} //Do something else here
} }

Basically, my objective is:
Constantly post the latitude/longitude to my website every minute or so. Of course, I want to do this in another thread, so it doesn't mess up my UI thread. This AsyncTask is supposed to solve that but it's bringing up an error and I don't know why. What can you do to accomplish my objective? It's very simple...just scan location and post to web every minute, in the background. By the way, my onCreate method is like this. That's basically it.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
new ExecuteLocations().execute();
setContentView(R.layout.main_list);
}

Android :: Executed ASyncTask in Activity but not working


Android :: Instance Variable Of Activity Not Being Set OnPostExecute Of AsyncTask - Return Data From AsyncTask

Jul 28, 2010

I'm trying to figure out the correct way to create an AsyncTask to retrieve some data from the internet and then to take that data and bundle it up in an Intent and pass it to a new activity(A list display). So in the first activity I just have an EditText and Button. In the event of an OnClick the task should be called and when it is finished the data should be bundled inside an Intent and passed to the next Activity. The problem is when I take the results from onPostExecute and set them to an instance variable of the main activity, that instance variable is still null when the task is complete. Here is the barebones version of the code:

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

When I debug the application I see onPostExecute does contain a valid PlacesList full of results, so why is the instance variable places set to null after the task is executed? I am going about "returning data" from an AsyncTask incorrectly?

Android :: AsyncTask And UI Activity

Aug 9, 2010

I know this is not how an async task should behave but my question is how to "block" the user while executing it.My need is the following: I have my own backup/restore process and I have an async task to run these two actions. The backup is fine, I can warn the user when the backup is done and that's just fine But my problem is about the restore process. When the user click on restore he shouldn't be able to make any change in the application (and anyway don't want to because he would lose all his changes).I understand that having the user blocked while restoring (or maybe with a progress bar) is not a best pratice but I do not see any other possibility in this context.

Android :: AsyncTask Won't Stop Even When Activity Has Destroyed

Mar 27, 2010

I have an AsyncTask object which starts executing when the activity is created and does stuff in the background (downloads upto 100 images). Everything works fine but there is this peculiar behavior which i'm not able to understand.For eg: when the android screen's orientation changes then the activity is destroyed and created again. So I override the onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() method and save all the downloaded data executed in the AsyncTask. My purpose of doing this is to not have AsyncTask run each time activity is destroyed-created during orientation changes, but as i can see in my logs the previous AsynTask is still executing. (The data is saved correctly though)I even tried to cancel the AsynTask in the onDestroy() method of the activity but the logs still show AsynTask as running.This is really strange behavior and would really be thankful if someone can tell me the correct procedure to stop/cancel the AsynTask.

Android :: Activity.finish() With AsyncTask Still Running In Background?

Apr 28, 2010

What happens on Activity.finish() with an AsyncTask still running in background?

Does it just pop the Activity off the Activity Stack, but wait to destroy the Activity object until the AsyncTask fully completes (since the AsyncTask is an inner class of my Activity)?

Also, would it act any differently if the AsyncTask were a public, non-inner class that held no references to the instance of the Activity?

Android :: Problem Long Running AsyncTask With Reference To Activity

Jul 24, 2010

I have an AsyncTask that scans the file system and publishes progress through Notifications. To do this I need a reference to the current Activity in the AsyncTask.

I also don't want to kill the task when the activity is destroyed. How do I avoid leaking the activity and everything it references on each configuration change?

One possibility is to remove the reference in OnPause() to be sure it is gone when the Activity is destroyed, but that would mean notifications stops coming as soon as you leave the activity which is no good.

Isn't there a recommended way of dealing with AsyncTasks in this way?

Android :: AsyncTask To Run On Activity Start Fails After Previously Getting Cancelled

Sep 10, 2010

I am using an AsyncTask to fetch the ring tone for a contact when my application starts, it works fine until after my Activity closes a couple of times during the AsyncTask, after this happens the AsyncTask will only ever get to onPreExecute() and never doInBackground, so I can never fetch the ringtone then until either a force stop or device restart.

Why this might be happening? Why the AsyncTask would get to onPreExecute but then never run doInBackground()?

Here is my code: (Following the Shelves source code)

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

And onAddRingtone() is used in onCreate and onCancelRingTone() is used in onDestroy() as well as where you can see if in the code above. I have spent 3 days on this and I haven't been able to find a solution? Am I taking the wrong approach? Using cancel wrong? Is there a bug?

Android :: Trap In TabHost When AsyncTask Delays Set Content View At Activity Startup

Nov 3, 2009

I've got a tab host activity started from a home screen shortcut. When my application starts it downloads information from a server using an AsyncTask. In the onPostExecute method of the AsyncTask I call setContentView to display the TabHost.When I start the homescreen shortcut by tapping on the shortcut using my finger everything works as expected, I download the information from the server and display the TabHost with the information in the tabs. However starting the application by navigating to the shortcut with the mouse wheel and then clicking on the shortcut with the mouse wheel leads to a trap in the framework code as soon as my application starts. This looks like a simple fix since mCurrentView is null at the time that this method is called - can this issue be addressed? Does anyone know of any workarounds?

Android :: Progress Update Executed Only Once

Oct 18, 2010

I am trying to update TextView in my Activity with text messages from DatagramServer ( see below) The problem I have is that "backgound UDP server receives plenty of traffic, but onProgessUpdate is ever executed only once so only the first of the messages appear in the TextView.

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
TextView txtStatus; // txtStatus initialized
new BackgroundAsyncTask().execute();
public class BackgroundAsyncTask extends
AsyncTask<Void, String, Void> {
public static final String SERVERIP = "127.0.0.1";
// 'Within' the emulator! public static final int SERVERPORT = 2222;
private DatagramSocket socket;
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try { InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(SERVERIP);
Log.d("UDP", "S: Waiting for connection...");
socket = new DatagramSocket(SERVERPORT, serverAddr);
while(true) { byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
Log.i("telemetry server", " waiting for packet");
socket.receive(packet);
Log.i("received", new Integer(packet.getLength()).toString());
Log.i("UDPServer received:", new String(packet.getData()));
publishProgress(new String(packet.getData()));
} } catch (Exception e) { Log.i("Dbg server", e.getMessage());
} // end of try Log.i("Dbg server", "Dbg server: Done.");
socket.close(); return null;
} @Override protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {

Android :: How To Detect Code Executed On UI Thread?

Jul 23, 2010

I have an AIDL service that is intended to be used by both out-of- process remote users and in-process local users.

How do I distinguish between these two cases?

Android :: Control Never Enters Function / Method Not Being Executed

Jul 9, 2010

I'm implementing the onBackPressed() method in my activity. It's crucial to my app that I have this functionality. But, the control never enters this function. It enters onPause() instead, when I press the back button. But the problem is I can't have the same logic in onPause() because when I call another activity, the current activity calls onPause() and I don't want it to execute what should be in onBackPressed().

public void onBackPresed(){
Log.d(TAG,"inside onBackPressed()");
if(STATE == PREVIEW){
} }

Android :: Getting Result Of Executed Shell Command Fails / Hangs

Sep 15, 2010

I try to execute shell commands, this does work as it should. Even the result comes back (as is see on LogCat). The problem ist the last line of the result. Every time a readLine() on the last line occurs (which shouldn't occur, temp should be null), the app hangs forever and doesn't come back from the readLine call. Maybe you find the error. I tried readUTF and standart read(), all the same problem. And yes, the app got su-rights.

try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
DataInputStream osRes = new DataInputStream(process.getInputStream());
for (String single : commands) { os.writeBytes(single + " ");
os.flush(); String temp = new String();
while( (temp = osRes.readLine()) != null) { Log.v("NITRO", temp);
result2 += temp + " ";
} } os.writeBytes("exit");
os.flush(); process.waitFor();
} catch (IOException e) { Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
} catch (InterruptedException e){ Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
}

That is the StackTrace where it hangs when I stop debugger when hanging:

Sqlite Code Should Be Executed Only Once

May 15, 2012

I am developing a app using android C2DM. sqlite3 is my back-end. Everything is just working fine but am struck with an performance issue regarding sqlite3. so my question is 'can i place the database code somewhere where it will be executed only once i.e The dvm(dalvik vertiual machine) should execute the code pertaining to the db only once; during the successive run the dvm should not go thru the (db)code because the db had been created.

More specifically, my app send msg to all the phones which has my app. so when an app at the client end receives a msg, the dvm should not execute this code : SQLiteDatabase db;

//use tat ref to open or create a table
db = openOrCreateDatabase( "/data/data/de.vogella.android.c2dm.simpleclient/app_database/file__0/0000000000000001.db", SQLiteDatabase.CREATE_IF_NECESSARY, null);
try
{
[code]....

Because everytime a msg comes this code ll be executed.

Android :: ListView On Click Listener Not Working Within Tab Activity

Sep 23, 2010

I have a ListView and an ExpandableListView inside of a TabActivity. I have overridden the setOnItemClickListener for the ListView. I have 2 tabs and one uses the ListView and the other uses the ExpandableListView. For some reason I cannot click on any of the items in the first ListView. If I change tabs to the ExpandableListView and then go back to the first tab it will then allow me to click on the items as usual. Any ideas on why this is happening. Is there some kind of weird focus thing going on? Code...

Android :: Simple Activity Switch Not Working - No Errors

Feb 19, 2010

I have a basic calculator app I'm making. Two activities, the main one and ResultView.

I've made it where I click a button on activity A to go to activity B. The log says activity B is started and "displayed" successfully, the title for the new activity loads, but the body does NOT show. I added a simple Text view with static text.. see the result.xml at the bottom. I also tried inserting information programmatically, but that didn't do.

When I debug the program, I tried putting breakpoints as the activity is called with startActivity() as well as on the first line of the onCreate method within the ResultView class (my activity "B") but the program never hits the second breakpoint. In fact, it looks as if Looper.class is called in the end.

This bit of code is placed in the button handler on acitivity A:

CODE:........

The activity is in the manifest, within the "application" tag:

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

If more info is needed, let me know...in short, "HELLO WORLD" does not display at all.

Android :: ImageView Scale Type Not Working In List Activity / Workaround It?

I have tried setting the android:scaleType property to every single value but the image never scales down. I have set the min and max sizes as well and they don't seem to have any effect. I have done both of these things in both the XMl and in code to no avail...

Does anyone have any ideas or perhaps a workaround? code...

Android :: Threads Or ASyncTask

Apr 6, 2010

I am working on a simple application (studying purposes) which list all the files from a selected folder. On top of that I would like to have a search feature where the user can search for files (the code for that is already in place). Now, I was thinking about having the search running in the background somehow, whilst the user can still navigate, create folders, copy, sort and do other stuffs normally. When the search finishes the user would get a notification and then could click on it and go to that activity (It ideally should be the same ListView I already use for browsing the files, I would just need to update the Adapter there with the latest processed data after clicking in the notification). What's the best answer for that? Threading or AsyncTask?
