View 6 RepliesHave to create thread and run it for 5 seconds, then I want to stop. How can I do that? I can't do anything with time/milliseconds.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've created a class which is an extension of Thread. This class hits a web service and throws some data on screen. I don't care about persisting this data (the screen displays search results).
Currently, the user simply types into an EditText and clicks a search button. I'd like to take away the search button and implement something similar to Google's Instant Search where, as you type, the search results get updated.
This means, as the user types, the search parameters change. I want to be able to kill the currently running thread (if one is currently running) and spawn a new one with the new search string. How can this be achieved? Can I do it with Thread or will I need to use a new object?
My problem is: Activity A called Activity B, and in Activity B, it start a background thread to do some client-server work. But it maybe takes too much time. So i add a cancel button to call the stop() method to stop the thread, and call finish() to finish the Activity B and go back to Activity A. Although it is back to Activity A, the thread isn't stop immediately. Can i just call the finish() to go back to Activity A, and leave the thread to exit by itself? If it is not the right way, which is?

I am basing my game off of the Lunar Lander demo.
The problem I am having is my game not restoring its last saved state when it comes back into focus.
When the game loses focus/quits it saves all the information to a Bundle correctly, then runs surfaceDestroyed() to shut down the thread.
When I restart the game, I thought onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) method was supposed to always start first, then restore the saved Bundle if it is not "Null". But because it sees that I have started/ created a thread last time, it jumps straight to surfaceCreated method.
The only thing I can think of is to find a way to get rid/destroy the thread so that it runs onCreate at the start. However the stop() and destroy() methods for threads have been depreciated. Is there anyway to do this? Or is there a better method of saving an instance of the game? code...
I am using this method to identify if a thread is running at any point of time, irrespective of whether the enclosing activity is running or not. Is this the right way?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am continuously running a thread in my activity which fetches lat/ lon information and the overlays on the map are updated dynamically through a handler. The overlays can be varying in number and can change dynamically. The thread is interrupted in onPause().
I am over riding the onTap() method in my Itemizedoverlay, where I want to call a dialog or may be start anothrer activity which describes that particular overlay item.
Every time I click on the moving overlay my app force closes.
I am basically using same onTap() method in http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.... .
If it is only a Toast message and not starting a dialog/activity then it works fine.
Can any one tell me , how to stop thread safely ? Can any one help me how to stop or cancel this thread safely ? Code...

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have an application that starts on boot using a broadcast receiver, also I have an activity and a process, because the service must run always on the background I am starting the service on it's own process using the android:process manifest tag.The ui is only for presentational needs and I would like the user to be able to run the service even if the activity is not active.when I press the back button or the home button the activity's on destroy method is called and the service although seems its running (it appears on the task manager) its not behaving as supposed, it should connect to the net and send some data but every X time using an timer task but the task never fires so the data are never send.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm develop a download manager function which the dialog will popup when the the item was finished download. the download function was running at background.
My question is how can I know when the downloading was finished and the project is intent other activity?
For example:
CODE:............
The above method where should I put? i try put it at onResume(), onStart() in every activity which will open by user. but unlucky it won't work.
My application is basically a image viewer. It is opened from both camera and as a separate application.
I open the image viewer to view and edit the picture. Each edit operation is implemented using thread. If my application closes due to pressing the home button, the next time I open it with camera. It throws anr.
This doesn't always happen. Only when large edit operations or edit operations on large image files are done.
I get out of memory error, sometimes timeout.
I guess it s because the thread doesn't complete the edit operation when home is clicked. and it s still running on the background. so when i open it s unable to process it.
m I right?
If so what is the way to stop a thread before the completion?
To the mod who moved my thread please move it back. It is multi part and fits were I put it just fine.
View 49 Replies View RelatedIs there a way I can test if there are any other activities in my app still alive? I am looking to stop a service in an onDestroy method, but only want to do this if there are no other activities from my app still alive on the stack.
I have the call stop the service in the main activity's onDestroy() method. This works perfect EXCEPT that if a user launches my app, then launches a few activities in my app, then hits the home screen and RELAUNCHES my app, they will subvert my order and the main activity will now be above other activities of my app. From this state, if they hit the back button and 'back out' of my home screen they will trigger the onDestroy() method and kill the service even though there are other activities open on the stack. I want to avoid this by stopping the service ONLY if I am sure there are no other activities of mine open on the stack.
I am having a problem with this app. I may use it in the future, so I don't want to delete it. But it keeps randomly popping up. When I go into my running applications, 8 out of 10 times it is running. I shut it down, and it keeps popping back up. How can I stop it from running on its own? I only want it to run if I manually click on it. Went into application settings and can find nothing to toggle it off with. This happens on a bunch of applications, but Amazon MP3 is the most frequent.

The long-running step is, for example, the first call to Cursor.moveToFirst(). This can sometimes take up to 30 seconds so I would like the user to be able to cancel.
However, how should this be done? I've tried closing the Cursor (in another thread) but all that happens is that the close() call takes as long as moveToFirst() and then terminates with the exception:

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently, I have tried to know what would happen to an alive thread, when the device goes to sleep. I program a simple activity that will create and start a thread printing "HERE AM I" repeatedly through Log.d. I expect the thread would be stopped after I "echo standby > /sys/android_power/request_state." The screen is off, but the thread still keeps alive and prints out "HERE AM I." I don't know why the thread can't be stopped. I test this through emulator (1.5cupcake) and G1(1.1?), but the results are the same. Could anyone give me some suggestions or hints about this question?

I have cleared the cache as online recommendations have mentioned, but Backup Assistant STILL runs in the background and restarts if forced to quit.I'm now rooted and have the Clockwork recovery mod on my phone....what can I do now to permenantly banish "Backup Assistant" from running? I've heard of people deleting it but then having problems with syncing FCing. So I'm just looking to slam the door in its face.
