Android :: Making Python Service To Run In Suspend State

Jan 16, 2010

Here's my Python script written using android-scripting:

CODE:............

while True:

CODE:.............

It basically vibrates every minute (like a motivator). However, when the phone is locked with screen blanked out, I don't sense any vibration. Perhaps Android is freezing the script (and hence the while loop)? Note that I am indeed running this script as a service (long-tap and click 'Start as service').

Is there a way to make this script work all the time regardless of the phone suspend state?

Update 1: I do hear the vibration occasionally, not every minute .. but rather like every 5-10 minutes randomly.

Update 2: This problems occurs if I run the script normally (not as a service). Seems like "time.sleep" is not sleeping for the specified time.

Android :: Tips On Making An Android Service / Which Polls Web Service Handle Bad Connectivity

Jul 16, 2010

I am developing an Android app which needs to poll a specific webpage in time intervals. I've got it to the point where it does indeed poll the page on a specific interval, and that interval is specified in a SharedPreference which can be changed by the user in the settings page of the app. But complications arise when network connectivity is flaky.For example, how do I ensure that the Service "wakes up" the network adapter and gives it ample time to connect before polling the page, in the case that the phone was sleeping to save power? This polling action can happen as little as once every 24 hours, so I don't want to miss one action just because the network was out (but turned on a few seconds, minutes, or even hours later).

Or there are times when the web service doesn't respond, or DNS doesn't respond, or what have you, and for any reason it doesn't get a response even though the phone is technically connected. What sort of rule do I put in place to make this retry later, so that I'm not retrying repeatedly when the user specifically turned off their internet but I'm retrying soon enough that if it was just a hiccup, the data can be received soon after the first try?Are there any examples for this type of situation? What is the logic to best handle this?

Android :: Notify Service From Phone State Listener

Mar 19, 2010

I have built an application that listen to call state changes, and I want to notify a service when the call_state became IDLE.All the components I have are functional, I just need to notify (not start) a service for this.What's the correct practice, maybe using AIDL? Because, in a PhoneStateListener, I can't bind to a service. Do I have to start an activity for that?

Android :: Stopping And Starting Service Based On Application State

Oct 28, 2010

I have a Service which tracks the location of the user. Currently, the Service boots when the application starts and stops when the application terminates. Unfortunately, if users keep the application in the background, the Service never stops and drains battery.

I would like the Service to stop when my application is not in the foreground. I was hoping the Application class would let me Override onPause and onResume handlers, but it does not have them.

Android :: Error With Listening To Phone State Listener In Service

Nov 11, 2009

I have a BroadcastReceiver that listens for the BOOT_COMPLETED, that part works I know because I disabled my phone listener and displayed a Toast within. That BroadcastReceiver is supposed to start a service, that also works. I run into Force Close issues when my service attempts to tell my TelephonyManager to listen. Any one have any ideas? Here is my code StartSeviceAtStartUp.java import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent;

Android :: Call Not Suspend Main (Calling) Thread

Feb 18, 2010

Hi, I've noticed that on android, the call to pthread_join does not suspend the calling thread. I've a number (6) of new thread created using pthread_create and pthread_join is called on each thread. But It does not suspend the main (calling) thread. I believe this relates to the port of pthread lib to android.

Android :: Changing Displayed State Of Views Based On Parent ViewGroup's State

Aug 11, 2010

I have a compound UI component built up from a ViewGroup containing a number of TextView, ImageView etc. components. Many of these have StateListDrawables as their images/backgrounds. Is there any way of making them select from this drawable based on the state of the parent ViewGroup rather than the component itself? Ideally I want to be able to change the visual state of all children of the ViewGroup (text colour, image etc) based on the state of the ViewGroup, preferably without having to hook up complex logical code. This seems like a fairly common sort of requirement, so I was hoping it would be straightforward in Android - am I going to be disappointed?

But I do not want to uninstall and reinstall everything, just to see/prove that the new apps are not causing my zoom problem.

HTC Desire :: Suspend Constant 1-2% CPU Usage

Nov 12, 2010

I've had System Panel's monitoring feature enabled overnight and I've noticed something using the CPU all night at between 1 and 2%. I have managed to track it down to a process called 'Suspend'. I just wondered if this was normal for whatever this process is? I would have thought the CPU should be at 0% if I'm not using the phone.

Android :: Phone State Listener State Transitions

Feb 8, 2009

I'm a little confused by what I'm seeing with regards to phone state transitions via the PhoneStateListener. When I receive a call, this is what happens: (call comes in) RINGING -> IDLE (I pick up) OFFHOOK (I hang up) IDLE It's that first transition from RINGING to IDLE without any interaction from me (not ending the call, not answering the call) that confuses me. Do I really have to implement an idle counter to know that an incoming call has really ended? Seems like the reported phone state represents some sort of phone state that isn't the obvious one.Is this a bug or am I just not in tune with the paradigm here?

HTC EVO 4G :: Suspend Process - Running CPU At 50%-60% While Phone's Supposed To Be Asleep

Aug 28, 2010

I noticed a weird battery drain on my EVO over the last week or so. I've got the System Panel app, and it appears there's an internal process called "suspend" that is running the CPU at 50%-60% while the phone's supposed to be asleep.

I have the un-updated facebook app, and it doesn't have any login information anyway. The problem started occurring around the time I installed Pandora; have there been any reports of problems with that app? Alternatively, does anybody know what might be causing that process to chew CPU cycles?

Android :: How To Compress Data To Obtain Same Value In Python?

Mar 11, 2010

I am porting a Python application to Android and, at some point, this application has to communicate with a Web Service, sending it compressed data. In order to do that it uses the next method:
def stuff(self, data): "Convert into UTF-8 and compress."
return zlib.compress(simplejson.dumps(data))

I am using the next method to try to emulate this behavior in Android:
private String compressString(String stringToCompress) { Log.i(TAG, "Compressing String " + stringToCompress);
byte[] input = stringToCompress.getBytes();
// Create the compressor with highest level of compression Deflater compressor = new Deflater();
//compressor.setLevel(Deflater.BEST_COMPRESSION);
// Give the compressor the data to compress compressor.setInput(input); compressor.finish();
// Create an expandable byte array to hold the compressed data.
// You cannot use an array that's the same size as the orginal because
// there is no guarantee that the compressed data will be smaller than
// the uncompressed data.
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(input.length);
// Compress the data byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while (!compressor.finished()) { int count = compressor.deflate(buf);
bos.write(buf, 0, count); } try { bos.close();
} catch (IOException e) { } // Get the compressed data byte[] compressedData = bos.toByteArray();
Log.i(TAG, "Finished to compress string " + stringToCompress);
return new String(compressedData);
}
But the HTTP response from the server is not correct and I guess it is because the result of the compression in Java is not the same as the one in Python. I ran a little test compressing "a" both with zlib.compress and deflate.
Python, zlib.compress() -> x%9CSJT%02%00%01M%00%A6
Android, Deflater.deflate -> H%EF%BF%BDK%04%00%00b%00b
How should I compress the data in Android to obtain the same value of zlib.compress() in Python?

Android :: Starting - Java Or Python - SL4A

Jul 27, 2010

I just ordered an Android smartphone and want to start playing around with creating my own applications. Now the question is which language to use, the native Java or Python using SL4A (former ASE).

I tend to Python, as I know it much better than Java, but I'm wondering what I would be missing using a "second class" language on Android. On the SL4A website it is also stated to be alpha quality software, which is not exactly encouraging.

I'm also not quite sure what the limitations of the scripting environment are and if they would be problematic.

Android :: Modify Python USB Device Driver To Only Use Vendor_id And Product_id - Excluding BCD

Mar 27, 2010

I'm trying to modify the Android device driver for calibre (an e-book management program) so that it identifies devices by only vendor id and product id, and excludes BCD.

The driver is a fairly simply python plugin, and is currently set up to use all three numbers, but apparently, when Android devices use custom Android builds (ie CyanogenMod for the Nexus One), it changes the BCD so calibre stops recognizing it.

The current code looks like this, with a simple list of vendor id's, that then have allowed product id's and BCD's with them:

CODE:..........

The line I'm specifically trying to change is:

CODE:............

Which is, the line for identifying a Nexus One. My N1, running CyanogenMod 5.0.5, has the BCD 0x226, and rather than just adding it to the list, I'd prefer to eliminate the BCD from the recognition process, so that any device with vendor id 0x18d1 and product id 0x4e11 or 0x4e12 would be recognized. The custom Android rom doesn't change enough for the specifics to matter.

The syntax seems to require the BCD in brackets.

How can I edit this so that it matches anything in that field?
