I have to post messages from one process to another process by using handler .
I am using Handler.post/Handler.sendMessage but i am not getting those messages in another process. I am not getting any exceptions also.
Is it possible to sent messages across processes using Handler?
If it is the case how can i do it?

I'm confused why is my activity still lagging, I use remote service that has few methods and each has its own work like download stuff, process data, compare stuff, etc... It will run in background and update data at selected intervals and notify user of changes over notify system.
The reason why remote service, because I will eventually add a widget, and service needs to stay running even if android kills the activity, so I unbind it on each onPause().
But as far I understand that part doesn't cause my issue.
But back to my problem... so my is Activity still lagging when I run stuff in service and handler.post method.
here is the code...
Also I wanted to add progressDialog to be updated in updateLayer(...) through Activity is a listener to this service, but thats not working well. Whats the best way to update progressDialog? Ever listener, handler, intent, or what?
So how do I do this correctly?
My Problem is that I need to send messages with a delay of 1 second. The handler then initiates some action, you're getting the picture. There are nevertheless some conditions in which the already sent message should be deleted ( before the second elapsed ) to prevent the handler from doing anything. I couldn't figure out how to do this ( or if it's even possible ), so If anyone of you has a clue, please let me know.

How can I pass all the XMPP information (including XMPPConnection) to the service so it can use it without twice logging in? Currently I have it setup so I am making 2 XMPP connections. This works, my service continues to send XMPP messages UNTIL I try to send a message in my main activity, then the app force closes. Im assuming because I have tried to login to the service twice.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an app which declares a BroadcastReceiver, the receiver gets the broadcast, does what it needs to, then ends ensuring that everything is tidied up as needed. When I examine the system through the DDMS view in Eclipse the process for the application is still running after the receiver has completed. I've even boiled it down to a simple test case which gets a shared preferences instance from the context, checks a random setting, and then exits, and, when run on the 1.5 emulator (which is the minimum supported OS level) the process is still hanging around.The reason this is an issue is memory usage (which shows under DDMS as around 2MB).I've had queries about why the application still uses up memory even when it's not doing anything, so, my question is; Is this behaviour normal, or have I missed something that would make the process exit?

The name for each call the MemoryFile's constructor was the same.Is it possible to share data between processes using a MemoryFile?

I would like to know how it would behave if I use the same from my remote service class which runs as a separate process. Will it create a new instance in that process or will it use the instance from the other process?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe were told that, as of Android 1.6, background processes were put in a Linux process scheduling class that limited how much CPU they would use. A few weeks ago, I ran a benchmark test that seemed to validate this claim.I have run more tests, and I am no longer confident in my earlier conclusion. I can get a background process to significantly impact the foreground process, more than would seem to be possible if the background process was, indeed, CPU-limited.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have read all about having separate processes for different Application components, and how to use them.I am curious, what are some appropriate use cases for when an application should actually use separate processes?It seems to me, the main advantage to using separate processes is to make the different portions of your app more easily killable by the OS.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to locate some excessive object creation to deal with hiccuping caused by the garbage collector (any word on upcoming improvements to this, btw?), and have discovered that DDMS is the tool for the job.I shut down eclipse and booted up DDMS, and it finds my device, but lists no processes running (no matter what I run).Initially, it did list the "powermanager" app that I had installed, so I assumed this was causing some kind of conflict and uninstalled it and rebooted my device.Now it simply lists no processes.

I have an application with a multi-instance activity. I would like each instance of the activity to appear in a new task and process. Any suggestions on how to do this? By manipulating the manifest I can cause all instances of the activity to appear in a specific task and
process, but I haven't found any way to cause each instance to appear in a different task and process.(The requirement to have different tasks is that we want each instance of the activity to appear separately in the task list; the requirement for different processes is that each instance of the activity is backed by a chunk of native code with global state. We can't change either of these.)
How can I debug some system process (...acore), for example, the status bar, in Eclipse ? I couldn't find any help online yet. I'm able to debug a normal application, but not system threads (windowManagerSevice etc).Also, when I open the Android source in Eclipse using the official instructions, I get build errors, is it OK ? (already executed "make" successfully)
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my application , i have an option to capture the hprof dump. I used
android.os.Debug.dumpHprofData (String fileName)
Initially i though the hprof data generated by the method above is for the entire device , which is not so . The hprof data generated is only for my process.
Now i am trying to generate hprof data for other process as well. I need to get the Hprof dump for all the running processes from application code.
from adb shell i tried "kill -10 <pid>" , This command will generate the hprof file for the corresponding process in the data/misc folder.
Now the problem is this command is working perfectly from the adb shell prompt , but i am not able to embed the command to mycode.
My code is like
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod 777 /data/misc") Runtime.getRunTime().exec("kill -10 <pid>")
No exceptions are thrown , but somehow it is not working. The same code above is capturing Hprof dump for my process, when i give my process ID.
I tried with "android.os.Process.sendSignal (int pid, android.os.Process.SIGNAL_USR1) ;" also.Getting the same problem.It is capturing Hprof dump for my process. For other processes it is not working.
Do we need to have any special permission to kill other process from our process ? Or is it a built issue ? can you please suggest some possible way to get Hprof dump for other processes from application code?.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have written a very simple game with some simple animations, but I've noticed that when the phone checks email, or several other apps are running, the animations that update in my thread start behaving slowly or choppy. This is a problem as the game mechanic requires some careful timing of your screen touches based on the animations. So if it starts behaving erratically, the game doesn't really work well - and isn't much fun.
Is there a way to prevent this? Can my threads have a higher priority when they need to run?
I subscribe to the church of not using a task killer but what I really would like is an app that I can select programs I don't want android to kill.
An example of why I want this: theres 3 to 4 websites I view for the most part on my phone. I like to open my browser and get it all set up in tabs on Dolphin. However, if I don't use it for while, I re-open the browser to find it had been closed and I have to repeat.
I'd use this in conjunction with the app that monitors CPU use (forgot what it was) and gives a notification if an app rises over a customized threshold in case the app started getting too hungry.
I've got 2 classes GLLayer and GLCamTest. I'm attempting to run a method located in GLCamTest...
CODE:..........
I'm looking to run in on a thread from GLLayer but from what I understand I need a Handler..
CODE:.........
I'm starting the Thread from within public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) { my question is how would I implement said handler? I've read http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler.html but I still don't really understand how I'd implement it.
I am very confused about handlers and looper can anyone plz explain it in simple terms to me any good links would be great.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter searching, I was unable to find any post that deals with my particular problem, and I don't know if it's a problem or something I have to deal with. On my LG Eve (unlocked, not yet rooted), when I run Task killer, I notice that there are two items in the list that look like configuration files (window with a gear in front of it):
com.tni.Task killer:Captain Obviously, the first one is linked to Task killer and if I kill the configuration file, it kills the Task killer process. When I try to kill beware.com, though, it does nothing. The file remains in the list and is also visible in the Task killer widget. (Speaking of the widget, when I kill Task killer, the icon for the 2 configuration files usually remain, even if I auto kill everything.) Doing a little searching on the tubes, I found that beware.com are the developer for Quick Settings. I don't think I downloaded that app yet, but I might have and subsequently deleted it. Is it possible that the configuration file remains after I un install an app? If so, how do I remove that con fig file?
