I am creating an app and the requirement is - I have to listen to the SD card for new data comes in. Whenever a new file is downloaded into SD card , I want to be notified. (or say , I want to listen for changes). Any code sample, link will be nice to have.

I have a program that uses the SD card, so I want to be informed if the state of the card changes by registering a listener if possible. I'm aware of the Environment class and its methods, but I don't really want to be constantly polling the state. I'd rather not have my program force close when running cause someone mounted the sd card to their computer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a list view with array adapter to show user some information that retrieved from Internet, As we all know reading data from Internet requires some time to finish, but if I try to read data on getView(), it means user must wait and he/she cannot see anything at that time, the screen is black for long a time because it will cost too much time to finish. This is unacceptable.
So I think maybe I can show user a empty list view first and then display a progress dialog to let user know I'm now just reading data. The background task will read data and send message to UI thread when job is done. But there's one problem: I don't know how to get notified when list view is displayed. I mean, I want to know when & where to show that progress dialog when I first show user an empty list?
Is it possible to be notified in Android when the Audio system starts playing audio? it looks like i should wire up a BroadcastReceiver, but it's not clear what i would listen for. I could listen for the MediaPlayer intent, but that would only capture when that particular application was playing audio, not when a third party application played audio, etc.

Does Android provide a notification of being in vicinity of a new Wifi Network? Whether the device is configured to connect to that wifi network depends on whether the device has the wifi configuration set for that particular wifi network, but is it possible to get notification whenever entering any new wifi network?
I saw the WifiManager class but the states inside the class do not seem to achieve what I am trying to do. Any ideas?
I want to write a service for Android platform that is notified when the current foreground activity changes. Basically the service should do some tasks only when the top activity changes. Is there any way to subscribe and to be notified when this kind of event occurs? Or there is no possibility and the service should poll from time to time the list of running activities and to check what is the foreground activity ?Not preferable solution...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find the "correct" way to do the following:
I have an activity with a button that starts a repeating task in the background. That is, if the user goes away from my activity, I want my task to still be scheduled and executed every x minutes. I want a status TextView to be displayed on the activity, and if the task happens to start executing while my activity is showing, the TextView should be updated so the user can be aware of what's going on. So basically, is there a way to start a scheduled background repeating task and be notified when it is executed? From what I saw in the sample applications, I understand I'm supposed to use AlarmManager and a Service but I'm not sure about the notification part.
Is there a broadcast receiver or some kind of setting that we can listen/monitor to get notified if the internet/network has been connected.

I am writing an app that connects to a telnet server via wifi. I have a service that manages the socket connection. It all works fine, but when the phone sleeps it disconnects the wifi radio, which causes the socket connection to break (and throws a SocketException). I feel like I should be able to set up a a broadcast receiver whose onResume() method is called when the wifi network connection is lost, and that would allow me to gracefully shut down the socket, and re-open it if the network is immediately re-connected. But I can't find anything like that in the doc or via searching.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like my Activity to be informed when the SD card is removed, since it relies on files from the SD card (to keep apk size down) but for compatibility reasons is not targeted at Froyo. I'd like to close the application when the SD card is removed/mounted (giving the user a dialog message to inform them of course) so that I don't get IOExceptions etc (I'd quite like to not have to check everytime I load a file to see if the external storage is available, I already do a check on application launch). There doesn't seem to be any attribute in the manifest for this (like configChanges) that I can find.
