Android :: Inside Service Class / Executing Method For Toast From Scheduled TimerTask
Apr 30, 2010I am trying to execute a {public void} method in Service, from scheduled TimerTask which is periodically executing.This TimerTask periodically checks a condition. If it's true, it calls method via {className}.{methodName};However, as Java requires, the method needs to be {pubic static} method, if I want to use {className} with {.dot}.The problem is this method is for notification using Toast(Android pop-up notification) and Status Bar.But for this to work, the method must not have {static} modifier and resides in Service class.So, basically, I want background Service to evaluate condition from scheduled TimerTask, and execute a method in Service class.Can anyone help me what's the right way to use Service, invoking a method when certain condition is satisfied while looping evaluation?

Android :: How To Check If User Defined Service Is Already Running
Sep 6, 2010I have a service that is running within the context of my application. It gets invoked at the start of the activity and then gets update when new data is inserted or deleted from the database. The problem is that everytime I start the activity , it restarts the service. As you may have guessed - not a very intuitive design. Therefore I was wondering if there is a way to determine if the service is already running before starting it. I know I can bind to the service but I do not want that since the main activity needs to exits after the database operation is completed. I know for system services, you can get the service details from the application context. How do you do it for user defined service?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Start Service At Boot Based On User Settings?
May 6, 2010I'm trying to write an app that consists of an activity that manages a background service. However, I want to implement a user setting for automatically starting the service up at boot time. I have user settings implemented with SharedPreferences and I have the services starting up at boot by using a BroadcastReceiver and listening for BOOT_COMPLETED. However, I can't figure out a good way to implement a setting so that the service is only started at boot if said setting is enabled. I can think of a few cheap ways to do this (such as messing with onCreate() in the service, or creating/checking for a file on SD card) but I want to follow good practice. There must be a good way to do this because there's tons of apps out there that do it, I just can't find anything online about how to do it.

Android :: Executing 2 Async Tasks
Dec 21, 2009In the documentation, I read that it is not possible for executing 2 Async Tasks. If execute is called again, it should throw an exception.
The following is given under the heading of "Threading Rules", and i quote:
"The task can be executed only once (an exception will be thrown if a second execution is attempted.)"
I wish to understand the meaning of this statement.
Does this mean, that if i try and execute the same task twice (concurrently) when the first execution of the task was still going on...an exception will be thrown ? Will i need to wait for the completion of the first task, before i spawn a second task ?
A possible use case:
The user wishes to download a set of files. He clicks on the download button by providing the URL. When the first download is still going on, he wishes to download another file and provides another URL. Both these user actions are serviced by a DownloadTask, that extends the AysncTask.
If i wish to change this default behavior, is there a configuration option?
Android :: Application Of Image Editor Not Executing
Apr 19, 2010I am devoloping an application of image editor. I always do it by using the resources in the drawable carpet. Now I changed it to use the resources in the SD card. I don't change the code of the image access but the program always produce an error if I intent to set the value of a pixel. The program works correctly if I try to read the pixel but if I try to modify it fails. I think this is a permissions error but I added the following: <uses-permission android:name="com.android.editorImagenes.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></ uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="com.android.editorImagenes.permission.WRITE_OWNER_DATA"></ uses-permission> And everything remains exactly the same. I'm desperate. A thing happens is that if I try to do the scaling or rotating the image using a matrix postrotate, etc, the program works correctly and as of this moment I can use the SetPixel without causing error.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Activity Executing Code While Screen Is Black
Sep 22, 2010I've a lot of initialization code in my main activity's onCreate(). When I launch my game, the screen goes black for a long time, then my game appears. I did logged some message at the start and end of onCreate() and found that onCreate() is executing its code while the screen is black. Sometimes the screen goes black for too long and phone shows a popup dialog prompting me to choose between Force close/Wait. Then when onCreate() is completed, my game appears. Choosing 'Wait' then dismiss the dialog.
I tried using progress dialog described in this article:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#ProgressDialog
But it doesn't work. The screen goes black for the same amount of time even after I use the progress dialog.
Android :: WebView Pre - Executing Java Before Loading Page

Jul 22, 2010I 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:

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.
Android :: How To Get Interface On Service Without Destroying Service At Unbind?
Mar 1, 2009My 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.

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.
