Is it possible to call methods of a Activity from service. I am running a thread from a service and i listening to some external event from that thread. I am not able to call methods from that thread. Is there any way to call methods from a thread.

I made two applications. One for an activity receiving user input, the other for a background service. In the service package, I create two files (startSensorBroadReceiver.java, remoteService.java). StartSensorBroadReceiver will receiver an intent from activity application and call method inside of the service. There is no erron in the codes but I can not excute what is want. I meet a message like this "The application ServiceExample has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." could you let me know. what is wrong? and how I can call service methods from broadcastReceiver?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi, custom classes which are part of a framework, so nothing graphical. One of those (singleton) classes is a Logging class which send logs to my server. I noticed that even though I can call the classes methods in my service it actually won't be logging anything... In my specific example it's osmething like : Logger.getInstance().log("Whatever I want to Log"); Obviously the getInstance is a static method so it can be accessed from anywhere within my project right away.. I was wondering though why this method for example isn't getting called ? Also how do I debug a Service ? Btw I am using of IPC from one of my Activities which gets bound to the service and can start/stop the music for example...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it's possible to call specific methods defined within the AsynTask class from another class and/or service ?
In my specific case I have a Service playing some sounds, but the sound is selected from a List with available sounds...
When a sounds is selected it is downloaded from my home server, this takes some time (not much, let's say around the 3-4 seconds, the sounds/effects aren't big in size)...
So my problem at the moment is that I have a service to play those sounds, and when I select one I wanted to show a progressdialog... The way (if I understood correctly) is to use an AsyncTask, but the only thing the AsyncTask will do is telling my Service to play a specific sound from my server... So there is no "callback" from the service to the Asynctask...
How can I call a running AsyncTask, which sits in another class, and tell him all work is done and thus he can stop showing the ProgressDialog ? Or am I over-engineering it and there are other ways ?
I'm developing a GPS tracking software on android. I need IPC to control the service from different activities. So I decide to develop a remote service with AIDL.This wasn't a big problem but now it's always running into the methods of the interface and not into those of my service class. Maybe someone could help me?If i now try to call a method from an activity for example start(trackId) nothing happens. The binding is OK. When debugging it always runs into the startTracking() in the generated ITrackingServiceRemote.java file and not into my TrackingService class. Where is the problem? I can't find anything wrong.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Activity (A) and a Service (S) which gets started by A like this:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.putExtra("updateInterval", 10);
i.setClassName("com.blah", "com.blah.S");
startService(i);
A have a function like this one in A: public void someInfoArrived(Info i) Now I want to call A.someInfoArrived(i) from within S. Intent.putExtra has no version where I could pass an Object reference etc.
I have a back ground service running.I have a client which interacts with service.
When the client requests for some operation, the service performs it and it should send the result back to the activity(client).
I know how to invoke the service methods in activity and using call backs we can achive wat I wan to do. But I am not able to understa the call back mechanism and code example provided in Api demos(remoteservice).
I want to know if it is possible to call an activity through background service in android like..

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I'm writing an Android app which uses a large c++ library. I have everything working so that the java app can call the c++ delegation methods, but I'm finding myself wishing I could log messages from c++ to the Android log. This is easy from java, but I'm at a loss as to how to call a java method from c++. My searches found methods for opening a jvm from c++, which is not at all what I want to do. Ideally, I'd like to pass a log method pointer to c++, which could then be used whenever I wanted. Of course, java doesn't support method pointers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two applications A and B (in different packages,but it doesn't matter).Application B is an sms application that i have made and contains one activity.This activity has a method called sendSMS(String number,String text).I want to call this method from application A and send an SMS without opening the activity(the GUI) of application B but just send an SMS in the background by calling just the method of the activity.Any ideas?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am curious whether the AIDL only serves for inter-process communication between several Android apps on the same device, or AIDL provides much wider functionality. Let's say I have a Java application running on some server, is it possible to remotely call methods on that server through AIDL from an Android phone?If yes, do I need some extra libraries on the server-side Java application?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm binding to a local Service (that is, not using IPC and AIDL) from several activities. I want to ensure that I'm not holding references to this service from activities that the user isn't using. My options are: 1.) to bind to the service in onCreate() and unbind in onDestroy(). 2.) bind in onStart() and unbind in onStop(). 3.) bind in onResume() and unbind in `onPause(). Or some combination of these. Which is the best-practice way of binding and unbinding to a local service? Do I not need to be concerned with holding local connections from stopped activities? Additionally, once bound to this particular service I am retrieving a Cursor which is attached to my ListActivity via a CursorAdapter. The data retrieved by the Cursor may have changed while the Activity was out of view so I want to requery it when the Activity is shown again. If I bind in onCreate() I can requery in onRestart(). If I bind in onResume() each time the data will be fresh because I'll query it in the Service's connected callback.

private OnClickListener onMyListener = new OnClickListener() {

And my Method:
private String myMethod() {
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView1);

When it calls this method, at tv.getText() it breaks in the debugger.

I know that Android provides some useful methods to be overridden in order to define a menu:
CODE:..............................
I would like to have this menu shared by each Activity and ListActivity of my Android application. This is for having a standard menu in each (List) Activity that lets the user jump to every part of the application within a click.
Right now, the easiest way to achieve this is to copy-and-paste both methods in every (List) Activity of the application. I don't like this redundancy of code written.
Is sub-classing a reasonable choice? I've already seen that sub-classing one of my ListActivity does not work very well (threads that retrieve objects from a database are giving problems). Are there other ways to share a menu though Activities?
Whenever the memory needs to be reclaimed, the process is being killed by Activity Manager Service in killPidsForProcess. I have a back button in my activity window on right corner of the title bar.
I want to kill the activity completely on clicking the close button. Can I reuse the same function and will it have any major effect? Please help me out in this.
I'm looking into writing simple graphics code in Android and I've noticed some synchronized() blocks. What is the reasoning behind this and how do I know when I should be "synchronizing" my code?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Service which is typically bound to, but sometimes needs to go into a mode where it should be active even if nobody is bound to it. Therefore, startService() must be called so it can be explicitly started & stopped. In my case, when exactly this should happen is best determined by the service itself, depending on its state (after being bound to). Can the Service (at the appropriate time) just call startService() from it's own Context?
