Android :: Stop Services And Alarms When Application Ends

Aug 3, 2010

I have an application that consist of several Activities. When the application starts, some alarms are scheduled using AlarmManager and some services are started:
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
a.setInexactRepeating(...)....

I would like to know any way to guarantee every service is stopped and every alarm is unscheduled when the user exits the application. The problem is that the user can leave the application from different Activities, and I don't like the idea of overriding the onDestroy method in every Activity. Is there any known Intent I can receive when the application ends? I've also found that an Android application can have a class that extends from Application, with a onTerminate method:

public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override public void onTerminate() {
... } }

But the documentation is very clear: "never depend on this method being called; in many cases an unneeded application process will simply be killed by the kernel without executing any application code".

Android :: Stop All Started Services On Application Close / Exit

Apr 18, 2010

Is it possible to stop all started services when the user hits the Home Button? I use:
startService(new Intent(ClassName.this, ClassName2.class));
stopService(new Intent(ClassName.this, ClassName2.class));

This means I will have to somehow add the 'stopService()' for 7+ of my app classes
I've researched this topic and I think there's 'onTerminate' but still not sure how this should be implemented.

Android :: How To Release Resources When Application Ends

Jul 3, 2009

I created an application which is displaying camera preview. When the application terminates I noticed that some processes are still running. Also if I try to run the original camera application it displays an error (obviously due to the active process which belongs to the custom application).

Does anyone know how to release all resources when application ends?

Android :: Stop Other Services In API 8 (Froyo 2.2)

Jun 12, 2010

I know of the wonderful change from 2.1 to 2.2 that ActivityManager.restartPackage now doesn't do the dirty stuff anymore since it now calls killBackgroundProcesses. Nice on one side, but bad on the other side. Because of that Services are not killed anymore.See as well: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa.I am the developer of SleepTimer in the Android market and used restartPackage to stop Music Players to play music. I therefore killed the services. That worked well. But now with killBackgroundProcesses it doesn't work anymore. I added the new Permission to my manifest, but still the music remains running. Yes i know that google kind of wants that. But it breaks the possibility to stop the different music players from my app. Now my question: Is there another way to kill/stop other services (music player services) in API 8?

Android :: Locking File Across Services In Same Application

Jul 8, 2010

What is the best way to share a file between two "writer" services in the same application. I have a Service that saves entries into a buffer. When the buffer gets full it writes all the entries to the file (and so on). Another Service running will come at some point and read the file (essentially copy/compress it) and then empty it.

I don't understand this. If I go to menu - applications, I have manage apps and running services. My running services only shows essential apps running. When I go into manage apps and click on the running tab, it shows a ton of non essential apps running that I have used. My confusion, and question is, which menu is correct? For example, facebook does not show under running services but it shows under the running tab in the manage apps menu. I force close it and it comes back on. Which one is correct?

Android :: OpenGL Lifecycle Ends With A Crash

Feb 7, 2010

I am having difficulties with the lifecycle of the opengl context. While rendering my scene and the user hits the back button, home button or another application opens in front of my application, my app is still running in the background.

So when my application comes to the foreground later on (user relaunches it or the app that was opened on top of it finishes), my application crashes and leaves me nothing but a GL stack trace which i can't properly decipher.

For rendering i use the GLSurfaceView and therefore delegate the onPause and onResume. The crash happens on the first call to glDrawElements(..).

I have tried to reload my resource (geometry/textures etc.) on onSurfaceChanged but with or without reloading... The problem persists.

This behavior can be observed on all AVD versions of the emulator as well as on the G1.

Here is the gl stacktrace i get.

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

Android :: Stop Application Catch

May 25, 2010

I have five screen in my application. While in performing one action in fifth screen I encountered with Stop Application message. On which, I am getting 3 times "Stop Application" msg box, which covers 3 previous screen and comes back to the first screen. I understand I must have encountered with Error may be IndexOutOfBoundException which I have not addressed it in my code. I was wondering why it asks for extra 3 times "Stop Application" system message. It is fine to display an "Stop Application" system message if I encountered an error in any screen it should stop that particular screen and should come to the next screen on. How can I trap/catch such incidents not to occur in the consecutive screen. If the above description is not clear at any place please let me know that I be more clear to you.

Android :: Using Progress Bar Ends Up In Not Populating List View

Jul 26, 2010

I am using a progress bar in android, so that till my data is loaded, user is getting a proper feedback of what is going on.

The code for the bar is below:

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

The setSelected() method is inserting data into an array list, and then creating an array adapter and then using a list view to show those items. so when I put the setSelected() method in progress bar, it shows the loading circle, but once loading is done. Nothing is displayed in listview. But if I take out progress bar code (thread and run method), and simply call setSelected() method, the listview successfully declares the data. so far it concludes that the progress bar code is doing some thing...so wanted to know am I missing something to add in or take out from the code. I need to the show progress bar as I am reading data from online source and it takes time , which may make user uncomfortable.

Android :: Stop An Application If Any Of Activities Were Killed By OS

Sep 10, 2010

I have an application with many forms implemented as separate activities. The form variables are dynamically built based on a database, and there are a ton of variables in the C++ side of the application (accessed via JNI). I don't see how saving out all of this data to persistent storage each time the onPause() or the onSaveInstanceState() of one of these many activities goes into the background is a smart use of processor time. And I don't see how even if I save the local variables for each activity during that time I'd be able to restore a single activity within the context of all the others.

I have set up a service that auto saves the files when I detect that the app has gone into the background. (I set a time stamp when onPause() is called in any activity and then clear the time stamp when onResume() is called on any other activity. If the time elapsed is more than a few seconds, I know I'm not the top activity any longer and the service saves the files).

What I'd like to do is continue on as normal unless the OS kills one of my activities. Since we don't always get notified of this, I thought it would be nice if there were a way to tell the OS that I'd rather you kill the whole app than just one activity.
