Android : How To Schedule Some Code Execution In Droid?
Oct 7, 2010
I'm currently working on an app for the android os that requires to fetch data from a remote server from time to time. as this "update" should be carried out even when the actual frontend app is not running, i implemented a remote service that is started on system boot. now i need to schedule a timer to start the update. is the "Timer"-class the right one for this job? and if "yes": what is the difference between a "normal" Timer() and one started as a "daemon" by Timer(true)?

What is the easiest to time execution in Android?
I have looked around a bit and I found TimingLogger on the Android SDK, and instructions here. It looks very convenient. But I can't get it work. This is my code:
CODE:................
It's is supposed to dump the times in in LogCat. But I can't see nothing.. I What am I doing wrong? Eclipse doesn't show any varnings. I guess it has something with verbose ouput, but I have set LogCat to show Verbose.

I am using below code for scheduling a task in android but its not giving any results.
int delay = 5000; // delay for 5 sec.
int period = 1000; // repeat every sec.
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"RUN!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}, delay, period);

Occasionally I see thread execution hiccups on my Motorola Droid (currently running 2.1 but I saw it with 2.0.1, too). Normally my dummy thread (full tilt, foreground, not doing *anything* else) runs in about 5-6mS. However, I see a second hump around 13-14mS and stragglers anywhere out to 80mS (typically around 35mS, though). What is going on? Why is this scheduling so non-deterministically? What is the solution? I could deal with a couple mS slower if it would get rid of those stragglers that exist the whole way out to 50-80mS..................

How can I execute an action (maybe an Intent) on every specified time (e.g. Every day on 5AM)? It has to stay after device reboots, similar to how cron works.
I am not sure if I can use AlarmManager for this, or can I?

I once had a HTC TyTN. It was basically ok at what it did, but it couldn't sync with my Linux systems reliably, so it lost much of its appeal. I eventually sold it and I'm now using a 15 euro phone that came with 10 euro prepaid. You know the kind. Basically, I needed any mobile phone and I would keep my contacts / schedule on paper until a better solution came along. </backstory> I've been meaning to complicate things again. Android now seems like a good solution, and the Droid/Milestone is the best there currently is. Problem is, I live in the Netherlands.
It's in Germany and in Italy now. But is there any more information - educated guesses even - on when it might arrive in the Netherlands? Or, I'm sure others are interested, elsewhere in Europe? I was hoping to get one this year. Should I hold my breath? I know there is the option to import the device from Germany or Italy. But as I understand it, three quarters of the appeal of Android in general, and the Droid in particular, is the wireless internet connectivity.

1. My work email is set up under a Corporate Sync header, not an email header. This seems to email that arrive to not show up on my notifications header or notify me the way I've got the other email accounts to notify (ring, vibrate, etc.). Is there a way to change this?
2. Can the fetch schedule be reduced to anything less than 15 minutes? That seems to be a very long time to wait for an email to arrive.

My application has a MapView which shows a collection of items in a satellite view. I use the MapController's zoomToSpan() method to initialize the zoom level of MapView. I later discovered that the MapView was showing a blank white screen with grey X's (zoom'd too far, zoom out once and everything looks as expected) for the use case when the collection of item's locations were very close to each other.
So, I modified the code from this:
CODE:......
To this:

I saw on Internet some services that give you the possibility to test an Android app on the web: for example, Manymo launches an emulator on a remote server and give you the possibility to interact with it. AppSurfer let you test your Android app in an emulator-like environment. Pieceable Viewer is similar to AppSurfer but for iOS.
According to you, how these services are implemented?
Maybe there are some emulators running on a remote server on which run a vnc server, but looking at AppSurfer or PieceableViewer they looks too responsive for this implementation.

I have an android app that repeatedly collects fingerprints from the wifi-networks that are around (for scientific reasons, not to invade anybodies privacy). Anyways, imagine I have a function that does this work and it's called scanWifi(). I initally wanted to start it like this:
ExecutorService mExecutor = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
mExecutor.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
scanWifi();
}
}, 0, interval, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
Sadly, this only works reliably when the phone is plugged in. If it's plugged out and lays there for a while, it doesn't run my scanWifi() function every minute. Sometimes there are gaps of several minutes between single calls to scanWifi(). I also tried doing the same thing using a Timer/TimerTask with similarly poor results. The only thing that seems to work more or less reliable until now is to post it to a handler and call it repeatedly, like this:
Handler h = new Handler();
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
if (!mIsStopped) {
scanWifi();
h.postDelayed(this, mInterval);
}
}
};
h.post(r);
Why is that the case? Is the CPU sleeping and thus misses the scheduled execution? I hold a partial wakelock in my app.

I am about to develop a web application for smart phones. This app uses some JavaScript code. While testing it on Android devices (Hero, Desire) I noticed that all JavaScript timers immediately stop when the page is moved or zoomed. They never continue. Let's say you have a site which displays web camera images with 5 fps. As soon as you move this page (I mean scroll with finger) the web camera image will never be loaded again. So you can't center or zoom the image at all without stopping the stream. This behaviour is 100% reproducible on all Android devices I tested (1.5, 2.1). It does not appear on an iPhone which continues execution after moving stopped fine.

I want to display the status of the activity execution on the screen using the TextView while activity is executing. I am appending the String messages at different stages of execution in the TextView, which is defined in the Layout main.xml (e.g. TextView.append("Server started..").
For e.g. I am running socket communication application in which my android application is the server and it is receiving the messages from the local desktop. So in this application I want to show "Server started.." message when socket server on android started , then a messge "waiting for message.." and then "message receivied.." when message received by android server.All 3 steps are the part of a single activity.
But in my case, I am getting all 3 messages at a time after activity execution completed. Is there any API available, using which I can show the status during the execution also.

I have a ImageView acting as a top banner on top of a webview. The image of this banner is created in execution time dependending on the resolution of the device. The height of the banner is always the same for each resolution. The only thing that changes is the width, which changes according to the orientation. But, since the width changes and the height doesn't, I end up having sort of 2 images with different proportion. And this is way the scale down/up won't work out for me.
Another problem is that everytime the user rotates the screen, the banner image is created again but Android seems not to update the image and thus I have a banner missing part of it.
I thought about having a real big image that will fit for both landscape and portrait orientation. But this seems not to be a good idea since Android keeps resizing the image everytime so it will fit on the space of the ImageView.
I'm running out of ideas here. Can someone suggest something?
