I already checked the LocationListener onStatusChanged method but somehow it seems that is not working, or just the wrong possibility. So basically i just need to know if the gps icon at the top of the screen is blinking (no actual fix) or solid (fix is available)..
I know there is the Date() class built into the API, but line of code actually grabs the time of day?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to check that the service with some name is running once? also if i go out from my activity then my service is running & when i come to my activity the onCreate method is called so my service is created again in this case or running service will be attached again?
public class ServiceExampleActivity extends Activity { Intent intent; Button start,stop; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); intent = new Intent(this, ServiceExample.class); // service example is service class Log.i("-----service------", "Service Created"); }
I am using this method to identify if a thread is running at any point of time, irrespective of whether the enclosing activity is running or not. Is this the right way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for this for a while but I can't find any way of doing it. A contrived example would be a service that simply displays the name of the current running activity as an Ongoing Notification. For instance, when the user is reading a particular email, the name of the activity (hopefully the email title!) would appear in the notifications window and when the user switches to read a text message, the notification would change to show the name of the new activity. Is there a way to do this in Android?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am newbie to android. I have client server based application. Server keeps on sending the update notifications to client after every single minute and at client side my app receive those updates and display it using Toast. But now my problem is whenever my client app goes into the background server keeps on sending the update notifications and my client display it as if the application is in foreground. I am not getting how to check that application is running in background.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSorry for the newbie question, but does anyone know how I can check whether an IntentService is already running? I'm starting an IntentService from onCreate within a normal Activity, and that means that if the user minimises and maximises the application, it gets called twice. I'm wondering if I need to use something like the solution here http://bit.ly/du3VW5 or whether there's a simpler way.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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 RelatedI have a free application that has a number of paid-for upgrade applications you can buy for it. The base game is free and remains the application that the user always launches, it detects the presence of the other applications and unlocks various upgrade features as appropriate.
I wanted to use the new licensing service to detect whether the bought applications were licensed, and pass the name of the package to the licensing service to verify if it is authorised (and blindly following the sample I stupidly assumed that passing in the package name to the obfuscator meant that the package name was passed to the licensing server - oops). However I've just realised how dumb that was, and in any case I have hit a brick wall: "If you already published your application as free, you won't be able to upload an updated version that includes licensing (that is, an application that uses the same package name and that includes the licensing permission)".
So, a two-part question: is there any plan to implement what I'm looking for: to check from inside a free application whether any of my other paid published applications are licensed?
If not, then what would be the best way of achieving what I'm seeking? I'm thinking of maybe sending an intent to each of the installed upgrades, getting them to perform the licensing check, and then getting the upgrades to pass the response back into my base application.
I have an Android activity running with a custom view in it. When something happens within that custom view, I want to tell the currently running activity by changing one of the Activity member variables. Is there a way to access the current running activity member variables from within a custom view class besides passing the activity into the view class though a function arg?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSometimes (it's not usual, but sometimes it happens) my phone (Nexus one, CM7) runs quite slowly, and not fluent at all, just because of an app that is eating all the memory / processor. If I kill that app, problem solved.
When this happened the first time, I went to the running services section in settings, and I checked that the services listed are not ALL the running processes, so even if I kill all the services there, there are still running apps. Then, I tried to install several app killers, just to check if they kill all the running apps, but not only they don't list all the running apps, but also when killing all, there are still apps that keep running (like some games), and the only way I found to find them is checking one by one in the apps list, if they are running or not.
Is there any app to check at once ALL the running apps? I have looked for it, but all I have found are apps to do exercise ("running apps", D'oh!), and stuff like that?

I had an application on my home page that looked like a a small green cylinder. it told me how many applications were currently running. if i clicked on it, it would tell me what applications were running in the background. now the green bar is gone and i can't seem to figure out how to get it back. not sure if it was a standard android application or something i downloaded. can anyone help me figure out how to get it back?
