Android :: Should I Use Local Service Binding?
Oct 5, 2009I am very new beginner, and I am designing a small application as below.
- After a user starts the application, he/she can click the start button to start a background task. (e.g. retrieving the news headlines periodically, then do something...)
- Even after the user quits the application, the background task still running.
- To stop the background task, the user needs to run the application again, and clicks the stop button to stop the background task.
In the above scenario, what API should I use ? (Local Service Binding ? Remote Service Binding ? Handler ?)
Android :: Binding Service To Activity
Dec 16, 2009I am working on an android application, where the activity binds to a local service to perform certain tasks.Now I am binding the service in the OnCreate method of the Activity, after which the activity has to use the service object to invoke the functionality defined in the servicein the OnStart method. The problem here is that once a call "bindservice" has been made, we might not get the serviceobject immediately, so my service object would be null till that time. So i cannot invoke the service functions.So is there a way to determine in the activity that the service has been bound and the service object is valid and could be used now. For reference i'm attaching a code snippet for the same.

Aug 3, 2010I have a service component (common task for all my apps), which can be invoked by any of the apps. I am trying to access the service object from the all activities, I noticed that the one which created the service [startService(intent)] has the right informaion. But rest does not get the informaion needed.
My Code is as below:
CODE:................
If I invoke startService(intent). it creates a new service and runs in parallel to the other service.
If I don't invoke startService(intent), serviceObj.getData() retuns null value.

Jul 1, 2010Is there any fundamental difference in binding a service to an android.app.Activity vs binding it to an android.app.Application. I want to bind the service to an Application because I want to keep some global state/data in the Application instead of duplicating it in all my activities.

Android :: Binder Is Leaked By Binding To A Service
Jul 30, 2010I made a code for my understanding of Android Service class.
It has just a single Activity and Service in apk. Service is the same as the sample code of API reference as below: http://developer.android.com/intl/ja/reference/android/app/Service.ht...
A client side is an Activity based on the above sample, and just added the following code:
CODE:.......
My sample application has a check box which starts(binds)/unbind to the local service on a single process. The local service instance is created by every bind request (and destroyed by every unbind).
If I press the button repeatedly, then LocalService$LocalBinder is leaked!
The problem is not resolved even If I set an obtained binder to null (like below).

Android :: Binding To Service In OnCreate() Or In OnResume()
Feb 20, 2010I want to know what es the best place in an Activity to bind to a service? I saw examples doing it in onResume() and also in onCreate(). I was asking myself if it is not a problem putting it into onCreate(), cause in onPause() i will do a unbind to the service, so i dont get a serviceConnectionLeak, if i leave the activity. Now if i press the Home-Button and then switching to the HomeScreen, the Activity will unbind from the service, when i go back to the Activity from the Taskmanager, then onCreate() will not be called and if the Code is trying to access a function from the service i will get a null-pointer exception. If i bind and unbind only in onResume() and onPause() i dont have this problem.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Apps In Relation To Different Screen Sizes - Resolutions
Jun 1, 2010I am a current iPhone 3gs user migrating over to Android this Friday and getting the Evo 4g. Now, all iPhone/iPod touch screen sizes are the same and all the hardware specs are the same for the most part, but with Android you all kinds of resolutions, screen sizes, processors, etc etc...
Are all apps made for Android stretched to accomodate bigger screen sizes? For instance, I have played with my friend's Droid on Verizon and the screen is 3.7" at a resolution of 854x480 and he has showed me games on it like Gameloft's NOVA which is a full 3D first person shooter. So his phone essentially has a bigger resolution slightly than the HTC EVO 4G but smaller screen size (3.7" vs. 4.3"). So would the same game be stretched to fit my phone?
I'm wondering with different apps, are there any conflicts in relation to different spec phones?
Android :: In Opengl - Relation Between Pixels And Gl.gltranslatef - Floatx,y,z?
Sep 25, 2010I am trying to learn opengl stuff on Android. In the gl.gltranslatef(x,y,z) call, I am shifting my texture by some units in the +ve x direction. But I am unable to find the number of pixels does 1 unit of x belong to?
Here is what I am doing:
I call gl.glviewport(0,0,width,height); // This will set my rectangle with 0,0 as lowerleft corner and then extend it to accommodate width and height.
Then
I call to gl.glfrustrum(-5,5,-7,7,3,7); // I am little confused how this call is using the dimensions I set in gl.glviewport.
How will -5 to 5 units from left to right in the above call, translate to pixels on the screen of android?
I mean if width = 320 and height = 533 pixels, then what will be the number of pixels occupied on the screen due to the gl.glfrustrum call?
I am experimenting in the gl.gltranslatef call by specifying xshift as 5.0, but it does not translate the bitmap at the right or left corner of the screen, when I increase it to 6, part of it is still visible on the screen.
I am searching for the maximum number of units (in terms of X) which will represent extreme corners of my android phone screen.

Feb 20, 2009I know there is a Google Checkout API, but that seems it is more for creating a shopping cart, and interfacing payment methods w/ Google Checkout. Is there any management tool that allows one to 'easily' communicate with the customers? Automate a thank you message, or something?
In addition we have already had one customer call to say he had multiple $1.00 charges for our $0.99 app.
I purchased our $0.99 app and sure enough, I have the following holds on my account 02/20/2009 5399 GOOGLE $1.00 02/20/2009 5399 GOOGLE $1.00 02/20/2009 5399 GOOGLE $0.99
This does not seem right, especially if someone is buying more expensive applications, or using a one time use card.
Android :: How Binding To Services Works
Jul 2, 2010I'm a little confused on how binding to services works. I understand using Context.startService() starts the service and that bindService doesn't call onStartCommand. But my understanding is that if I use startService, I have to explicitly stop the service. But I want the service to die if there are no more activities bound to it.My problem is that calling bindService never calls onServiceConnected(), so my Service binder object is null. Does the service have to be explicitly started in order to bind to it? If so, how does it know to terminate when nothing is binding to it anymore, and how do I know if it's started so I can know to use the bound object?

Oct 19, 2010I am just starting out with Android and I am attempting my first test app, but I am a bit stuck.
I have an SQLite database and a user is selecting a picture and a reference to this a long with a short description is getting stored in the database. This is all working fine, now I want to bind the images from to database to a gallery, but I am a bit confused how I do this.
My layout xml is as follows:
CODE:.................
I want the gallery with a button below
My on create function I have the following:
CODE:...........
I am using the notepad tutorial as an example and my class extends ListActivity.
When I run it I get the error
Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'
I'm assuming I am using the wrong type of binding, but I can't seem to find anywhere that tells me how to bind from an sqlite DB to a gallery.
I also want to add a reference to the rowId in the gallery so when the image is clicked it will open the relevant page (so it can show the message)

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: TextViews Parametrization / Binding To Model Possible?
Feb 12, 2010I am new to both Android and Stack Overflow. I have started developing and Android App and I am wondering two things:1) Is it possible to parametrize a TextView? Lets say I want to render a text message which states something like: "The user age is 38". Lets suppose that the user age is the result of an algorithm. Using some typical i18n framework I would write in my i18n file something like "The user age is {0}". Then at run time I would populate parameters accordingly. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this or similar approach in Android. 2) Let's suppose I have a complex object with many fields. Eg: PersonModel which has id, name, age, country, favorite video game, whatever. If I want to render all this information into a single layout in one of my activities the only way I have found is getting all needed TextViews by id and then populate them one by one through code. I was wondering if there is some mapping / binding mechanism in which I can execute something like: render(myPerson, myView) and that automatically through reflection each of the model properties get mapped into each of the TextViews. If someone has ever worked with SpringMVC, Im looking for something similar to their mechanism to map domain objects / models to views (e.g. spring:forms)

Aug 17, 2009I currently building an android apps that retrieve data from a distant Web service and I search an efficient way to bind data form XML to ListView. I already use CursorAdapter and i search on the web for an "XmlAdapter". I read on Google IO topic "Coding for Life - Battery Life, That Is" (http://code.google.com/events/io/sessions/ CodingLifeBatteryLife.html) that is more efficient to use "stream parser" instead of "tree parser" but I don't find the way to build a class that implement ListAdapter because of stream parser can't navigate backward so I don't understand how implement method that use "position" parameter (How retrieve data before current XML Parser position?).
