Please show me how to bind to a Service from another Service on Android.
If you have an image to show how to do.
is it possible somehow to bind to private system services? What I want to do is listen to the activitymanagerservice and be notified when other activites are started. I tried implementing the IActivityController.aidl from the Sourcecode. It has methods like activityStarting and activityResuming but this didn't really work. (I used the idea from here: http://blog.codetastrophe.com/2008/12/accessing-hidden-system-service... , problem is there is no proper private field one could use at least c.getDeclaredFields() doesn't return anything useful from the activity manager)
Any ideas how I can get notified of things going on in the Activity Manager without having to do a getRunningTasks all the time? Because this is the only workaround I came up with but it slows down the phone.

i get an error message like 09-30 20:08:24.733: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(949): Caused by: android.content.ReceiverCallNotAllowedException: IntentReceiver components are not allowed to bind to services 09-30 20:08:24.733: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(949): at android.app.ReceiverRestrictedContext.bindService (ApplicationContext.java:136) so i guess you can't bind to a service in an AppWidgetProvider - although you can start the service just fine?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Android development and am working on a small test project. I have a service, which communicates with an SQLite3 database, and two activities. A main activity which fetches database information via the service and displays it and a second activity which allows me to add data to the database via the service.
Currently, I have a singleton class which implements the ServiceConnection interface and I'm binding this to the service in the the main activity using the bindService function. Because it's a singleton, I can then use this service connection in both the main activity and second activity to work with the database and it all seems to work quite well.
However, I'm all the time aware that the service connection is bound to the main activity and I'm wondering if this is the wrong/bad way to do it? Would I be best off having two service connections, one in each activity, and binding each to the service?
I have coded this service, that computes stuff and i want other applications to be able to bind this service, i.e. i want to enable other programmers to communicate with this service. problem is, this has to work without these other programmers to get access to the source code. just the (installed) apk with the remote service is given (and of course a detailed description of the service' interface)...problem is, eclipse keeps braggin' about that the packages of the service are not available in source code...

I can start the MsfRpcd ( the metasploit daemon ) from a su shell an make it bind to the 127.0.0.1 address.
I can connect to the server using busybox netcat ( no Java though here ).
I can't connect to 127.0.0.1 from the android app! i got ECONNREFUSED.
After a bit of google i understood that JavaVM have a separate network and it filter out my connection to localhost/127.0.0.1.
how can i connect to a service bind to 127.0.0.1 on my phone from an android app?
I gave a quick look at iptables -L output, maybe i can make some hack there, but probably i will break the JavaVM network.
Binding on wifi ip is not an answer.
A new question about android and services. Currently I'm developing a App that should send images to a server. It should also be possible to send more images parallel. I made a service that creates for every image a new image. The activity can bind to that service and gather information about the progress. I want to show the current status for every image in a notification (and when the user clicks a notification, an activity with the progress for that image should be shown). But I get several problems with that approach. There are errors with binding, the notification pending event starts the activity completely new, so I lose information about currently sending images and so on. How I could design in a appropriate way.

Question is pretty simple, so I will repeat:
How can I ensure a service is started at 9am and stopped 9pm every day?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've a service which listens to user request for ending one activity and starting another activity. For Ex: Say there are activities1,2 ,& 3. Now if there is already activity1 started by someother activity then based on the user request i need to stop activity1 and start activity2 or activity3. If the acitivity1 is started by my service then i can do finishactivity(requestcode) and shall receive a call to onActivityResult() then i can start next activity 2 or 3. But can i stop the activity1 which is started by some other activity from a service?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've successfully implemented a BootReceiver, AlarmManager, and Service per the code here: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/SystemServices...
Inside the doWakefulWork method of the Service I am instantiating a few classes, but some of them require my Activity to be running. How do I actually start the Activity? The code above only starts the AlarmManager and Service.
There are also times where the Activity *is* already started, like if the user manually opened it. So I also need to start the Activity "only if it's not already running". Hows that work?
And what about the situation where the user first installs your application and may not even reboot their phone for a week. In that case, do you have to start the Service from the Activity? But then the Service will die with the Activity.
I am looking to code simple application
let's say I have an activity that starts a service which is simply a counter and counter value is reflected on activity UI , when I navigate away from this .I want this counter to be continue and when I get back to Activity I want to see counter count.so the question is
how can a reconnect with the started service and then if I want to kill it ? how can I know the service is already started?
I'm developing an Android application that consists of:
a lightweight background service that logs events to a DB
a heavier GUI application that summarizes these events and displays graphs.
I'm having trouble creating the service part, though. The graphic application can use quite some RAM, and when it goes to the background, the OS closes it after some time of not being used.
The problem is, when the application gets shut down, so does the service. This is bad because this keeps me from recording further events. I don't care if the application gets terminated, but the service needs to keep on running.
I have tried numerous ways to keep the service alive, like having it use threads or a differently named process than the main app. Nothing has worked, and I have found no help on any of the android developer pages or forums.
I start service by using:
private ServiceConnection _serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {...}
bindService(new Intent(this, MainService.class), _serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
I want to 'restart' the service. (Let's not argue why I want to do that)
I do that by:
unbindService(_serviceConnection);
// Do some initialization on service
bindService(new Intent(this, MainService.class), _serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
I noticed service doesn't die(onDestroy doesn't run) until I call next bindService();
So some static initialization I did on service got cleared by onDestroy() implementation.
Question: How do you make sure unbindService() will stop service (run onDestory()),
so that I could do initialization after and re-run bindService()?
I am curious if there is a way to bind more then one db column to a resource. I need to bind more information to R.id.secondLine then just the difficulty column. But I'm unsure how to go about this? I'm currently subclassing SimpleCursorAdapter. Should I subclass another adapter?
If so How to do I go about it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedTwo activities here, A and B. A is main, B is PreferenceActivity with two EditTextPreference.
I want to be able to access the preferences generated by B from activity A, and for that I need of course (I guess) getSharedPreferences on A. But in order to do that I need to supply the preference file for the activity that generated it. This is tedious (long names), erratic at best (depends on the activity that generated it), and finally it's a mess, because it's much better to keep everything under one xml file, with a name that is well known to all my activities. And besides, if I have 100 activities, how would I keep track of preference files anyway...
So the point is: how do I "bind" an EditTextPreference in a way that the changes are made to a given preference file, not the one automatically generated by Android?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat I need is to perform some network operations in background inside a service. I want them to run in a service because, as pointed out in the "developing rest client application" talk from google io, I don't want to loose the result if the activity is brought in background. What sounds quite obvious is to use an Intent Service, and get the result as a broadcast. In this way I am sure the service will die and no consume any other resources when its done, but I need to convert the actions I want to perform to intents and back. Well, I was now wondering if it makes sense to bind to the service instead, at least for getting the result. And a more general question: is the bind mechanism suitable for one shot services, or it just make sense for persistent services? What happens if I call the startService method but the service is already active? Will it start another service, or will it call the onStartCommand of the same service? I am asking this because if I use "regular" non sticky service, it could happen that I need it to perform some action and I don't know if it is already active (and I don't want to have a queue of action waiting for onServiceConnected to be called.
