I have a thread listening on a TCP port. When there's nothing coming in on that port, the thread blocks. This is fine, and the behaviour I want, but how do I kill said thread while it's blocking?

I'm trying to use the Mail client on my Hero to send emails, but it seems that Three is blocking port 25. I've asked my hosting company if they can allow me to use port 587, but in the meantime, does anybody know of how else I can send email from my Hero?

But what I really need to do is listen on a particular port.
It appears you can set it in the manifest like below, but this is a utility class so it doesn't have a manifest:
<data android:port="8192"/>
I'm looking at the IntentFilter documentation, but I'm not sure what to use...
Does 'port' fall under "Data Path"? Is it a "Category"?
Can you even add properties like that to a programmatically created IntentFilter (I presume you can)?
Also, I am interested in reading the message (as part of a control scheme), will this trigger some sort of notification to the user to decide who/what gets to handle the SMS?
I am basing my game off of the Lunar Lander demo.
The problem I am having is my game not restoring its last saved state when it comes back into focus.
When the game loses focus/quits it saves all the information to a Bundle correctly, then runs surfaceDestroyed() to shut down the thread.
When I restart the game, I thought onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) method was supposed to always start first, then restore the saved Bundle if it is not "Null". But because it sees that I have started/ created a thread last time, it jumps straight to surfaceCreated method.
The only thing I can think of is to find a way to get rid/destroy the thread so that it runs onCreate at the start. However the stop() and destroy() methods for threads have been depreciated. Is there anyway to do this? Or is there a better method of saving an instance of the game? code...
How can I kill Android activity from asynchronous thread? In my android application, I start another activity using startActivity. Is there anyway for me to kill that activity I started after several minutes?Or is there any way beside using thread?

View 49 Replies View RelatedI've created a class which is an extension of Thread. This class hits a web service and throws some data on screen. I don't care about persisting this data (the screen displays search results).
Currently, the user simply types into an EditText and clicks a search button. I'd like to take away the search button and implement something similar to Google's Instant Search where, as you type, the search results get updated.
This means, as the user types, the search parameters change. I want to be able to kill the currently running thread (if one is currently running) and spawn a new one with the new search string. How can this be achieved? Can I do it with Thread or will I need to use a new object?
I have the startup auditor and Task Panel apps. I want to try and setup the phone to always have as much memory available as possible. Most of them are pretty obvious but there are a few I'm not sure of. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of services/processes/etc. that we can safely kill off and/or set for auto-kill/disable at startup? Edit: One I was curious about is Google Partner Setup. I have killed it off without any issues through Task Panel. But would having it on the auto-kill list be OK?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow can I implement a run() method of thread if I create a Thread Global?
I mean If I create a Thread Globally then can I implement its run() method {" public void run()"} anywhere in my Application?
In the run() method I have to write the code to perform some action.
IF I can do it then please can anyone show me briefly how to do it particularly.
I am writing an application in which i need to handle messages between the main thread(the deafult UI related thread) and the user created Gamethread.
The requirement is like this.
An activity(say "Activity_X") is setting the view by "setContentView(some "View_Y")". In "Activity_X" i have implemeted "onCreateOptionsMenu()" and "onOptionsItemSelected()" fucntions for creating menus & a switch case for action to be taken on selecting those menus.Menu has items like "resume/pause/zoom/" .
All action to be take on selecting these menus are implemented in "View_Y" in a separate Gamethread by extending "Thread" class.
So whenever a menu is selected in "Activity_X" i need to send a message to "View_Y". And on receiving this ,a particular action/method should be called in View_Y(GameThread).
How can i achieve this using Handlers?Is there any other way of doing this? Please do share with me some code snippets for these.
I have a separate thread running to get data from the internet. After that, I would like to update the ListView in the main thread by calling adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(). But it does not work. Any workaround for that?

In my ideal little dream world, I'd like to have a custom service running that handles network comms. Activities (e.g. UIs) then add listeners to it and it provides callbacks when anything interesting happens.
As it stands, I can't see how to do this in an appropriate way. OK, you can call bindService() and have a ServiceConnection implementation that monitors the service state. From there you can easily talk *to* the service whenever you desire, using serialisation over transactions, but I don't think that helps with communication initiated by the service.
The only way I know of doing what I want is by maintaining static collections of listeners on the service class, which doesn't strike me as good engineering.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm launching an IntentService using startActivity from inside the onClickListener of a button. startActivity returns immediately. No blocking there. But the button stays "pressed" until the IntentService finishes its work. In addition, the screen does not respond to rotation while the IntentService thread is running. I can see that it's a separate thread in the debugger but the UI seems to be coupled to it. As soon as the IntentService thread finishes, the UI is unblocked. Any idea how I can prevent this and let the UI continue?

View 4 Replies View RelatedOn the market, there's an application called App Protector, which seems to effectively block the launching of configured activities until a password is correctly provided. By default, it blocks access to itself (not very interesting), Settings, and a few others. I wrote my own app to launch settings (rather than doing so through the home screen) and App Protector continued to do the job it claims to do.
When an activity that is protected is started, App Protector's password input activity is shown instead. Once the correct password is provided, the activity that was started comes to the front.
First -- does anyone know how this app is able to get between the rest of the system and the activities it protects? I would like to do something along these lines in my own application as well. Perhaps this app is receiving a broadcast about other activities coming to the foreground, and when the foreground activity is protected, it forces itself to the foreground?
Second -- does anyone know how well this technique will stand up to attack? Are there other ways to circumvent, where start Activity(...) fails to? It seems that one could use adb to un install it, thus removing its protection easily, but if I pursue my plans here, the app will be a part of a device's firmware (which, I assume, offers some protection against its apps being installed?)
Is there a API for intercepting and blocking a call? What I want to do is to create app that autometically detect incoming call and based on the caller it either alert the user or don's alert the user. Like, if the number is stored in the phone book then alert the user other wise just send a message to the caller that the person is busy.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Activity that implements a Gesture Detector to catch the user fling input for navigation to other screens. That was working fine - but - I recently updated a class that derives from my BaseActivity to add an onClick function and now that click event seems to block the onFling from being hit. The onClick is tied to a TextView area (in a LinearLayout) I have on my screen. The resultsClick method is wired to the TextView using its onClick property in the XML layout.
I've tried changing the return values in onSingleTapUp and onDown without luck. I've also tried adding log statements to all the functions below as well. None of them fire when I fling in the TextView area but they do on other areas of the screen.
Maybe I am using the wrong search terms, but I couldn't seem to find an example that addressed this - yet I'm sure this problem has been solved before.
