Android :: Why Service Connection Method Never Executed?
Sep 28, 2010
This is the class that calls my Service:
public class TicketList extends ListActivity {
private ArrayList<Tickets> alTickets = new ArrayList<Tickets>();
private boolean listCreated = false;
private static Drawable background = null;
private Resources res;
private Tickets ticket = null;
private TicketConnector localService;
[Code]
Here is the output of LogCat at verbose mode while activating the TicketList Activity:
09-28 23:22:11.420: INFO/ActivityManager(795): Starting activity: Intent { cmp=org.mw88.cmdb/.gui.TicketListActivity }
09-28 23:22:12.340: WARN/ActivityManager(795): Binding with unknown activity: android.os.BinderProxy@4410bf30
09-28 23:22:16.090: INFO/ActivityManager(795): Displayed activity org.mw88.cmdb/.gui.TicketListActivity: 4606 ms (total 4606 ms)

I'm implementing the onBackPressed() method in my activity. It's crucial to my app that I have this functionality. But, the control never enters this function. It enters onPause() instead, when I press the back button. But the problem is I can't have the same logic in onPause() because when I call another activity, the current activity calls onPause() and I don't want it to execute what should be in onBackPressed().
public void onBackPresed(){
Log.d(TAG,"inside onBackPressed()");
if(STATE == PREVIEW){
} }

I'm pretty sure that android services are going to be the end of me.I have almost no hair left after the last few days.At first I was having a heck of a time getting the service to bind on an onclick of a button, got that straightened out from help here yesterday. Now I actually want the service to bind in the onCreate() method of the activity. That part is no problem, works as intended.My service is actually a socket service to connect TCP sockets to a socket server that I wrote.If I put the call to the method from the bound service mBoundService.StartSocketServer() inside a button click, bingo, works great. But I need this to fire up immediately when the activity loads, so directly under my bindService() call within my onCreate() method of the activity.When I place the call to start the socket inside my onCreate() I get a force-close.
This method (StartSocketServer()) spawns a new thread then opens the socket on that thread to my remote machine.I'm guessing that the problem lies with the new thread generation before the activity fully loads not sure.LogCat is fairly cryptic here. It does say something about thread attach failed, then shows an uncaught handler exception that has "Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException" within it.Again, if I put this call to the method inside a button click, I"m in business, if it's in the onCreate() it fails. Is there some way inside an activity (presuming that my assumption is correct that it needs to fully load before spawning a new thread) to call the StartSocketServer() after it's loaded: ala body.onLoad() in html?

I came to this issue : I created a layout with only 1 ImageButton and it works as expected when loaded from Activity (using setContentView) : The button is changing background on touch down event (orange) But not changing when the same layout is loaded by the InputMethodService (but it react to onClickEvent if used ) Here is a minimal project and video if you need to reproduce : http://rzr.online.fr/tmp/rzr-test-android-imf-0.0.20090520.tar.gz

I am trying to call my service class's stopService() method from my activity. But I don't know how to access stopservice method from my activity class. I have the below code but its not working. This is HomeScreen class:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
enablecheck = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.enablecheck);
enablecheck.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener(){
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(enablecheck.isChecked()){
startService(new Intent(HomeScreen.this, AutoService.class));
} else {
stopService(new Intent(HomeScreen.this, AutoService.class));
} } });
}
This is Service Class:
public class AutoService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "AutoService";
private Timer timer;
private TimerTask task;
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
} @Override
public void onCreate() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Auto Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");
int delay = 5000; // delay for 5 sec.
int period = 5000; // repeat every sec.
timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task = new TimerTask(){
public void run() {
System.out.println("done");
} }, delay, period);
}
@Override
public boolean stopService(Intent name) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
timer.cancel();
task.cancel();
return super.stopService(name);
} }

I have an activity A which uses SharedPreferences to share data with a service S, which is called from within A.Now when I call the stopService() method from A, the onDestroy() method in S is not called immediately.I thought that all the activities and services under a single apk run in just one process. Why then does the jump to onDestroy() not take place immediately instead I can see the output from onDestroy() after the further code in the activity A is executed.

I'm trying to implement an input method service that receives intents sent by a remote client, and in response to those sends an appropriate KeyEvent. Is there any way to send keys and control the device like using the hardware keys from an input method?

I've seen topics discussing this but no one has seemed to post a solution. At the moment, I'm testing passing parameters to my .Net web service. When the parameters reach the web service it adds it with an additional string then returns it too my application; but all I'm returning is the string message, not the parameter I passed. Is there something wrong with my web service or my soap method?

I am trying to execute a {public void} method in Service, from scheduled TimerTask which is periodically executing.This TimerTask periodically checks a condition. If it's true, it calls method via {className}.{methodName};However, as Java requires, the method needs to be {pubic static} method, if I want to use {className} with {.dot}.The problem is this method is for notification using Toast(Android pop-up notification) and Status Bar.But for this to work, the method must not have {static} modifier and resides in Service class.So, basically, I want background Service to evaluate condition from scheduled TimerTask, and execute a method in Service class.Can anyone help me what's the right way to use Service, invoking a method when certain condition is satisfied while looping evaluation?

I'm confused why is my activity still lagging, I use remote service that has few methods and each has its own work like download stuff, process data, compare stuff, etc... It will run in background and update data at selected intervals and notify user of changes over notify system.
The reason why remote service, because I will eventually add a widget, and service needs to stay running even if android kills the activity, so I unbind it on each onPause().
But as far I understand that part doesn't cause my issue.
But back to my problem... so my is Activity still lagging when I run stuff in service and handler.post method.
here is the code...
Also I wanted to add progressDialog to be updated in updateLayer(...) through Activity is a listener to this service, but thats not working well. Whats the best way to update progressDialog? Ever listener, handler, intent, or what?
So how do I do this correctly?

I do a ((Context)thingy).bindService(...) from within the onCreate callback of an Activity. I've observed that the onServiceConnected() callback of my associated Service Connection does not execute immediately, but rather, is delayed until after the Activity resumes, or more precisely, after return from the onResume() callback of the Activity. I discovered this the hard way (through a null pointer exception) because I was unable to use the Service (I call a method in the Service to start a Thread) immediately upon return from the bindService () call.
I assume this is normal behavior, but I don't understand why, and I further assume that there is a good reason for it and that I would benefit from understanding it. I'm guessing that maybe the Service isn't eligible to run because there are fewer than 1 processes bound that are in an active state.(?) But once it starts, if I then start the Thread within, it continues to completion of its task, even if the Activity calls unbindService() and terminates first! I don't mind that behavior (it's what I want to happen), but I want to know whether I can generally rely on it. I'm seeking some wisdom from the forum. Please help me clear my fog on all these points.

I have followed the Local Service example provided by Google, but my Context::bindService(...) always returns false and there is Service Connection::onServiceConnected is also never called. I understand that Context::bind Service() returns immediately, but my Service Connection object is never triggered. I don't know if these apply My activity is running inside a tabHost and I was wondering if that can affect service binding in any way. The Service itself may have a problem, but I can call start service to the same service with the same Intent and it works as expected. Does anyone have experience with this? Please help me out.

I use Microsoft Outlook 2007 as my MAIN email and calendaring software. I will be accessing my mail and calendar via Outlook on my office PC for the vast majority of time.
My main email accounts are currently configured as POP3 but are also configured to leave copies of messages on the server for 30 days, which allows me to check new messages via my ISPs webmail when out of the office.
I have considered changing to IMAP for my main email account but have purposely avoided it up to now as I have a huge number of mail folders and messages my Outlook pst file is currently 7.2GB. A lot of those are for archive reference and I dont need to see them on other devices BUT, as I understand it, IMAP does not let me only select certain folders to mirror and sync between different devices (it must sync all of them) so I feel it would be unwieldy to use IMAP on my account. (If anyone knows of a way to set IMAP to only include specific folders please let me know!).
I do have a Google Mail account already, but rarely use it its just there as a back-up account. I�ve NOT as yet imported my Outlook contacts or calendar into my Google account.
Now I know that I can use HTC Sync to sync up my Contacts and Calendar, but what I�ve read suggests that the phone works best when you sync it with your Google account. I COULD of course import my Outlook Contacts and Calendar into my Google account, and I COULD also use my Gmail account to check mail from my main POP3 accounts. However, Im unsure about going down that route as Im worried that might confuse things, cause conflicts, or cause double-work for me when I update my contacts or calendar from Outlook or from Google. Are there possible problems with going down that route?
Secondly, Im very intrigued to have read that Gmail is more efficient for the phone as Ive read it works as a push email service. That is, I dont need to check my mail by doing a send/receive from my phone either manually or automatically at set intervals, but that Gmail will just automatically PUSH new emails to my phone as soon as they arrive. Is that correct?
If it is correct it sounds good, but does that mean my phone must be or will be permanently connected to the net? As I don�t use my mobile that much Im on a Pay-As You-Go service so need to ensure my phone is ONLY connecting to a data connection when I need it to. Will I be able to work-around this?
I know HTC Sync doesn't transfer Outlook Notes or Tasks. Has anyone found, or can recommend, an app that will do that for me?

I'm looking for a protocol to secure a connection between a mobile device and a web service. I want to ensure that only the mobile device can perform actions on the web service and vice versa. Data doesn't need to be encrypted. I know Oauth, but it seems that it's more used to secure connections when you got 3 different entities (Server, Consumer and Auth). Here, the Consumer and the User would be the same person. Is there a simple protocol to do that (without requiring the user to login and then authorize the access token like it is the case for Oauth)? I need to use it on different plateforms, so the protocol needs to be available at least on iPhone and PHP.

I am trying to update TextView in my Activity with text messages from DatagramServer ( see below) The problem I have is that "backgound UDP server receives plenty of traffic, but onProgessUpdate is ever executed only once so only the first of the messages appear in the TextView.
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
TextView txtStatus; // txtStatus initialized
new BackgroundAsyncTask().execute();
public class BackgroundAsyncTask extends
AsyncTask<Void, String, Void> {
public static final String SERVERIP = "127.0.0.1";
// 'Within' the emulator! public static final int SERVERPORT = 2222;
private DatagramSocket socket;
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try { InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(SERVERIP);
Log.d("UDP", "S: Waiting for connection...");
socket = new DatagramSocket(SERVERPORT, serverAddr);
while(true) { byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
Log.i("telemetry server", " waiting for packet");
socket.receive(packet);
Log.i("received", new Integer(packet.getLength()).toString());
Log.i("UDPServer received:", new String(packet.getData()));
publishProgress(new String(packet.getData()));
} } catch (Exception e) { Log.i("Dbg server", e.getMessage());
} // end of try Log.i("Dbg server", "Dbg server: Done.");
socket.close(); return null;
} @Override protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//it will never been shown in this exercise...
} @Override protected void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
} @Override protected void onProgressUpdate(String... values) {
txtStatus.append(values[0] + " ");

I have an AIDL service that is intended to be used by both out-of- process remote users and in-process local users. As a result, my common interface methods will either be invoked on the UI thread or in a binder background thread. The logic between the two is not the same. How do I distinguish between these two cases?

We are supposed to make UI actions only from the main UI thread. But it is not clear to me if callbacks like LocationUpdateListener (and other callbacks from sensors) are already in the UI thread or they require special care to access the UI components.

} //Do something else here

Basically, my objective is:
Constantly post the latitude/longitude to my website every minute or so. Of course, I want to do this in another thread, so it doesn't mess up my UI thread. This AsyncTask is supposed to solve that but it's bringing up an error and I don't know why. What can you do to accomplish my objective? It's very simple...just scan location and post to web every minute, in the background. By the way, my onCreate method is like this. That's basically it.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
new ExecuteLocations().execute();
setContentView(R.layout.main_list);

Most of the time the data connection works fine. But if I go into an area with no cell phone reception for a little while, once I come out into a full-bars area where data normally works, my data connection never resumes. Once that happens, I can make calls just fine, but can't use the internet/market/etc. The only thing that solves this problem is to go to network settings, enable 2G networks only, then turn that setting off. That is a huge pain, obviously. Has anyone else had this problem? This was happening with my old SIM, so I had T-mobile give me a brand new one, but it is still happening.

I try to execute shell commands, this does work as it should. Even the result comes back (as is see on LogCat). The problem ist the last line of the result. Every time a readLine() on the last line occurs (which shouldn't occur, temp should be null), the app hangs forever and doesn't come back from the readLine call. Maybe you find the error. I tried readUTF and standart read(), all the same problem. And yes, the app got su-rights.
try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
DataInputStream osRes = new DataInputStream(process.getInputStream());
for (String single : commands) { os.writeBytes(single + " ");
os.flush(); String temp = new String();
while( (temp = osRes.readLine()) != null) { Log.v("NITRO", temp);
result2 += temp + " ";
} } os.writeBytes("exit");
os.flush(); process.waitFor();
} catch (IOException e) { Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
} catch (InterruptedException e){ Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
}

I am developing a app using android C2DM. sqlite3 is my back-end. Everything is just working fine but am struck with an performance issue regarding sqlite3. so my question is 'can i place the database code somewhere where it will be executed only once i.e The dvm(dalvik vertiual machine) should execute the code pertaining to the db only once; during the successive run the dvm should not go thru the (db)code because the db had been created.
More specifically, my app send msg to all the phones which has my app. so when an app at the client end receives a msg, the dvm should not execute this code : SQLiteDatabase db;
//use tat ref to open or create a table
db = openOrCreateDatabase( "/data/data/de.vogella.android.c2dm.simpleclient/app_database/file__0/0000000000000001.db", SQLiteDatabase.CREATE_IF_NECESSARY, null);
try
{
[code]....
Because everytime a msg comes this code ll be executed.
