I have both ADW and LP on my Droid. If I go into Settings/applications/ manage applications and select a launcher (that has widgets) and use the force stop option on the launcher, will the widgets set up with that launcher continue to run? Or would they be stopped as well? Would it matter if bother the running and stopped launcher had some of the same widgets?

I am having issues with a simple service not running correctly. The logcat shows some force stopping on the installed apk. Also the broadcast receiver should listen to android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED but it is not.
This all worked on froyo 2.2 on a samsung galaxy tab.
Here is the snippet from logcat when I do an 'adb install testService.apk:
Code:
D/AndroidRuntime(15251):
D/AndroidRuntime(15251): >>>>>> AndroidRuntime START com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit <<<<<<
D/AndroidRuntime(15251): CheckJNI is OFF
D/AndroidRuntime(15251): Calling main entry com.android.commands.pm.Pm
I/ActivityManager( 153): Start proc com.android.defcontainer for service

I've thought there might be a shell script I could run, maybe get an app that can run shell scripts from an icon on the home screen--but I don't know what that script would need to be, since it couldn't be about killing a process because that process ID is probably going to be different every time, and I don't know if it would require root. Rooting my phone is not an option.
I'm going to assume though that there's probably no answer to this and that I'll just have to keep going in by hand to force stop the app via prefs/apps/name-of-app/force stop. I just wish these app makers would have an exit option. Twitter and Vine and Growlr are examples of these programs with this kind of behavior. Facebook as well, but that'll just reload itself when you force quit it because it's a special "system app". I mean, I'm not expecting them to exit when I just go to the home screen, that would be silly, but I'd like SOME sort of option to close them besides going through the hassle of force stopping them via the OS preferences.
I want there to be NO chance whatsoever that these programs are going to access data in some way once I'm done using them. I have no problem with whatever the programs want to do when I WANT them running, but when I'm done using them, I want to be able to quit them, and it has nothing to do with wanting to have more free memory.
Since I've been using the cm 10 and 10.1 based roms (4.1.x and 4.2.x, respectively) I've noticed the DSP Manager or Awesome beats audio effects randomly stop effecting the sound. It was noted here:
HTML Code: [URL] .....
That pausing and playing the audio player will re-enable the EQ effects. I normally use Google Music on the HTC Rezound running a variant of CM10.1 (4.2.2) but others have stated other devices and are doing this as well.
I just played with it by force closing the DSP manager process while listening to music. This did not in and of itself stop the EQ effects. Once I reopened the DSP manager app and again stop/start or pause played the effect was re enabled. Simply restarting the DSP manager app did not re enable the effect.
I have a AppWidget, after I delete it from HomeScreen it seems not stopping the AlarmManager attached with it. I have supported it with the AlarmManger, that call the ProviderImplementation class every 1 minute and in onReceive I put the code to call onUpdate. and in onDelete I explicitly stop the alarm, but it seems it is running continously and not stopping. any cure of it ?
I have stopped it with cancel(pendingintent) function.
My appWidget is working well. When it's installed and used by user, a Thread is launched to refresh view (like a flipper). Even if the screen is off, the thread is continuing...perfect for me... But after 3 minutes, it's stopped.
Does it a VM restriction avoiding some bad development usage?
How can I use this type of service? Develop a service in place of my thread?
can someone help me.. i want my service to start as soon as the device starts and also the service to persis and remain started.it should destroy only when device switches off.

It would speed up our testing process so much. Right now we uninstall/install the app each time to make sure the manual test cases start with a clean state.
My service spawns a new thread, and stops it according to the typically recommended java method of interrupt()'ing. When I stop the service, I stop the thread in onDestroy(). The service is stopped, and the interrupt code is reached. However, soon enough the thread restarts from the beginning of the Runnable.code...

This will make the ContentProvider run forever and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it (such as due to inactivity etc).It would be nice if Content Provider would stop after some time so that the memory usage is reduced (An enclosing process, doesn't need to be alive if the Content Provider is not needed anymore).

When the widget is deleted (onDisabled()), I call .cancel() on the service, but the service still shows up in the android "running processes" making me believe I'm doing something wrong.Also, should I be scheduling my updates in the onEnabled() or the onUpdate()? onUpdate doesn't seem to work on anything other than the first widget.

I am rotating a view using rotateAnimation with this code new RotateAnimation(0, 360, w / 2, h / 2); I want to rotate this view infinitely, so i put setRepeatCount(RotateAnimation.INFINITE);
But the problem is after every one complete rotation, its stopping and starting again, means by default rotateAnimation have AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator(). I feel because of this. So if i put setInterpolator(null), its throwing null pointer exception. How to solve this.
I want to rotate my view without any lag.
I have this problem, I have some audio I wish to play. And I have two buttons for it, 'Play' and 'Stop'.Problem is, after I press the stop button, and then press the Play button, nothing happens. -The stop button stops the song, but I want the Play button to play the song again (from the start) Here is my code:final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.megadeth);And then the two public onclicks: For playing)
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Perform action on click
button.setText("Playing!");
try {
mp.prepare();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
And for stopping the track
final Button button2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cancel);
button2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
Can anyone see the problem with this? If so could you please fix it. (For suggest)
How can I identify and stop single running services? More specifically, once I got the running services on a List as in a chunk of code like:
ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE); List<RunningServiceInfo> services = activityManager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
Is there any method to stop a single service, i.e to identify one and then stop it?
I'm trying to prevent my application to call the same method twice in the event of a double-click, or if the user presses different buttons quickly, almost at the same time.I have clickable Views, acting as buttons, that call the same method but passing different parameters.Inside this method I'm creating a new Thread, because it queries a web server for the result.The problem is that upon two quick clicks, the method is fired twice, two threads are created, and consequently two new activities are created. That makes my app crash.But this only seems to work on slower phones like the G1, I tried on Nexus and before it set blocked = true, the second request has was granted. So is there any way I can block the method being called if it's already running, or if the thread has started so it wont create a new one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my game, I've got one activity starting another activity via an intent. When the user is finished with the second activity, they quit it using the back button. However, I have a problem: when this happens, the second activity is still running, even if it's quit with the back button.
My second activity will eventually give a "game over" message using a pop up window if there is no user input for a period of time. Problem is, when I back out of the second activity (where the game is happening) the "game over" message still appears eventually. This is how I know the second activity is still running. It even displays a "game over" message if my entire app is quit (on the Android OS).
How do I stop an activity completely when the user presses the back button?
My application uses GPS updates while it is running and I would like that to stop when the user back out of the app as I assume it will continue wasting a lot of battery power. I've tried intercepting the back button press but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if this is because it's not executing the code or I'm using the wrong command.

I'm trying to help someone who'd like a way to stop email spam from reaching his Android phone. I understand this is usually best done from the email server side of things, but this is where we are right now. This is regarding his work email, and I've suggested that he have gmail fetch it for him so they can filter it (does this work for fetching? I know it works great for emails sent directly to gmail), alas, he says he only has an imap server and no Pop3 server for gmail to fetch. I looked in the market and found only one not terribly highly rated app for filtering email spam on Android phones. If you've tried that email filtering app, it worked?

To support usability studies on what applications are used, i want to write a service that logs when an activity is started and also when it has finished. This is to understand how the users are using the device:
One straightforward option is to have the applications modify, to write this out. But this is tedious having to modify all applications and will not work esp with third party or built in applications.
Is there any alternatives that makes this simpler and easier?
BTW: Looking at the android framework source ActivityManagerNative seems to be invoking a Binder interface when an Activity is started and finished. Any information on what this service is? Is this something i can tap into?
I have a Service which tracks the location of the user. Currently, the Service boots when the application starts and stops when the application terminates. Unfortunately, if users keep the application in the background, the Service never stops and drains battery.
I would like the Service to stop when my application is not in the foreground. I was hoping the Application class would let me Override onPause and onResume handlers, but it does not have them.
I am facing a problem with a stopping thread which is in a synchronized block. I am using TCP socket. The problem is that I am waiting on a DataInputStream object and I want to create a new socket again but it doesn't allow me to do because of the synchronized block.
I have tried with Thread.interrupted(). I cannot avoid the synchronized block. Is there any other way to do the same?
dis = new DataInputStream(ReadWriteData.kkSocket.getInputStream());
int i = -1;
String aval = ""; //new String();
char c = (char)dis.read();
It is getting blocked on dis.read().
What I should do for escaping the dis.read when I want to create a new socket?
I have one simple question regarding Java TimerTask. How do I pause/resume two TimerTask tasks based on a certain condition? For example I have two timers that run between each other. When a certain condition has been met inside the task of first timer, the first timer stops and starts the second timer, and the same thing happens when a certain condition has been met inside the task of second timer.how do I pause timer1 while running timer2 and vice versa while timer2 is running? Performance and timing is my main concern as this needs to be implemented inside another running thread. By the way I am trying to implement these concurrent timers on Android.
