The error I get is this: Not allowed to start service Intent { comp= {com.commonsware.android.service/ com.commonsware.android.service.WeatherPlusService} } without permission private to package I installed the WeatherPlus app from Mark Murphy's dev book. I'm trying to call his weather service from a different app. I think I have an issue with permissions, not really sure how they work. I thought that you could just make your own, and then check against it. With that in mind, listed below is the client manifest, followed by the service manifest. I called my permission "mypermission". Code...

I have created the Client-Server application. At the Server site i have used the AIDL to impliment the interfaces in my Service class. At Client site i have exposed the AIDL interfaces and have one Activity that mainly do the IPC mechanism , i mean ServiceConnection, bindService and then call the Serivce of the Client site. But i am getting the error i mentioned during the bindService call.
Could you please let me know the steps mainly i have to follow to run the Client -Server Application. For time being i am running the Client .apk first and then the Server .apk, but the server one giving me error.
It would be great if you could let me know what all permission short of thing to take care, as my Client and Server code are placed at different APks, so do i need to import the Client project in my Server Project, if yes then how to impliment that.
Can you please tell me how can I start an intent to launcher the IM application on android?

I need to know how I can create an Intent to open MyTracks or any other application that I don't know what intents they listen to.
I got this info from DDMS, but I havn't been succesful in turning this to an Intent I can use. This is taken from when opening MyTracks manually.

Is it possible to start an Intent but keep it hidden? For example now to start the intent I am using startActivitity(intent). Suppose the intent is to start a web browser, the webbrowser is shown to user. Is it possible to keep this hidden?

I'm using Wikitude API 1.1 as an AR viewer in my application. The problem with Wikitude, if I haven't launched the actual Wikitude application since the phone's bootup, I will get a NullPointerException everytime I start my own application.
So I figure if I can start my app first and them check if Wikitude is installed and or running. If it's not installed, go to market n download. If it's not running, then we should run it straight to background so that my app doesn't loose its focuscode...
The part I block commented is the intent to start Wikitude. But I always failed in restricting Wikitude to background. Any help?
I want startActivity in the service.first I new Intent(),but I don't know how to new Intent().Because Activity and Service don't together project.I don't know Intent how to find this Activity.
View 2 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 2 Replies View RelatedI'm starting a service with an intent where I put extra information. How can I get the intent in the code of my service? There isn't a function like getIntent().getExtras() in service like in activity.

View 11 Replies View RelatedMy IntentService is blocking my UI thread and I wanted to find out why. So I turned on profiling in the onStartCommand method of the IntentService and turned it off at the end of the onStartMethod. The working being done in between is web access with the Apache HTTP client.According to the profiler, the onStartCommand method of the IntentService is running on the main thread, not in a worker thread. Any idea what could cause this behavior?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSuppose that I installed app A and app B, app A has a main activity, and app B wants to show that activity by sending a intent. My question is that how android knows I have installed app A and is able to map the intent to its activity? Is there any windows-registry-like store saving such information?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSorry for the newbie question, but does anyone know how I can check whether an IntentService is already running? I'm starting an IntentService from onCreate within a normal Activity, and that means that if the user minimises and maximises the application, it gets called twice. I'm wondering if I need to use something like the solution here http://bit.ly/du3VW5 or whether there's a simpler way.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to receive Intent "android.intent.action.SEND" in a Service. Is it possilbe to register for this Intent via registerReceiver() and get the Intent in Broadcast receiver in the Service?
Or is there any restrictions that "android.intent.action.SEND" can only be registered via Manifest.xml of an Activity and not in a Service?
Is there a significant difference in time needed for sending data over a service or by using an intent?
Are there general advices when to use service and when to use intents?
Is is possible to send an object to an Android Service through an Intent without actually binding to the service? Or maybe another way for the Service to access Objects...

Currently, it is taking about 20+ mins and for this time my UI is stuck. I was thinking of using a thread in service so my UI doesn't get stuck but it is giving error.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a service (input method) and from within that service I want to start and activity which was declared in the same manifest. The activity maybe running but in the background.
How do i check its presence and bring it to front, or optionally start this.
From what I can gather from other posts, this is about what I need to do:
CODE:..............
I don't knwo which of thest flags pertain to what I need to do. The docs are quite merky, and my random attempt at making this work failed.
My application has a background process which continuously waits on a socket for receiving messages and it should be started only once and at the time of application starting.Thus i want to do that background job in a service.
The service should not be started from the activity ,it should be started at the application starting.
How can i define the service,which will be started at the time of application starting?
If at all the service is started from activity.The activity can be destroyed and restarted.when this happens the service also be restarted .
