View 9 Replies View RelatedActivity 1 starts a Service, using the standard Intent. Activity 1 starts Activity 2. Then, Activity 1 gets finished().
Now, there's only Activity 2.
How does Activity 2 kill the Service, since that Intent was generated in Activity 1? I don't want to pass the Intent everywhere...
Is there any way not to force to restart the service once the service crash and is killed?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have an EditText and a button set next to each other on the same horizontal line. It looks great, except when the user enters a lot of text, the EditText is resized, and the button is squished. I have both EditText and Button set to layout_width="wrap_content". "fill_parent" messes up the layout, and I don't want to use absolute sizes if I don't have to - the way it is now looks great in both landscape and portrait, I just don't want the EditText to resize.

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?
Based on some quick tests, I've noticed the following: if you kill the Google Messaging Service, Chrome to Phone (a.k.a. Send to Phone) will stop working.
This seems rather obvious, but I had been in the habit of killing the Google Talk Service (GTalk) prior to Froyo. After Froyo, it looks like the service was renamed/replaced with Google Messaging Service.
I suspect that killing the Google Messaging Service could affect other Google services too.
I have an Activity with a list that is bound to a ListAdapter reading data into a ArrayList from a database. All is well when the data is first loaded. While the Activity is open and the list is being displayed it is possible and likely that the data in the database will be updated by a service but the list does not reflect the changes because the ArrayList does not know about the changes. If the Activity is no longer in the foreground as would be the case if the user goes to the home screen and then is brought back to the foreground I would like for the Activity to not display what it did prior but rather reload the data using the ListAdapter the view is bound to. I think something needs to call finish() but I am not sure what.
This is what I have in the Activity.
CODE:.......................
From what I can tell -- if you return START_NOT_STICKY from Service.onStartCommand(...), the system should not restart a service if it crashes. However, I'm not seeing that behavior -- any ideas on what could be restarting the service?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIt is very important that my service stay running until someone with a password stops the service from my UI screen. My app runs great but it is designed to be turned on/off by parents (with a password) on their kids phones. I have managed to make everything work but the problem I'm having is that if the kid uses a task manager to kill my service then my app is useless. I would be grateful to anyone who knows a way to either
1) monitor the service and start it back up automatically if its "killed"
or
2) prevent someone from being able to kill it except from the activity (administration screen) that launched the service. Or both?
I have android application and service that runs in separate process. Application and service read and write to same database (and same table).
What is the best way to work with database? How to prevent locks?
For example, is there any way to define a service to run as 'system' UID or GID?Or any way to add your app to the 'system' group?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a service that is running within the context of my application. It gets invoked at the start of the activity and then gets update when new data is inserted or deleted from the database. The problem is that everytime I start the activity , it restarts the service. As you may have guessed - not a very intuitive design. Therefore I was wondering if there is a way to determine if the service is already running before starting it. I know I can bind to the service but I do not want that since the main activity needs to exits after the database operation is completed. I know for system services, you can get the service details from the application context. How do you do it for user defined service?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write an app that consists of an activity that manages a background service. However, I want to implement a user setting for automatically starting the service up at boot time. I have user settings implemented with SharedPreferences and I have the services starting up at boot by using a BroadcastReceiver and listening for BOOT_COMPLETED. However, I can't figure out a good way to implement a setting so that the service is only started at boot if said setting is enabled. I can think of a few cheap ways to do this (such as messing with onCreate() in the service, or creating/checking for a file on SD card) but I want to follow good practice. There must be a good way to do this because there's tons of apps out there that do it, I just can't find anything online about how to do it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
