I am doing an application in android which requires to know for how long the application is running. Do anyone know how to retrieve such information??. Is there any way where android provides the information about the running applications ,from how much time they are running?

I have an app that has a service with it. This service is started the first time you open the app is is suppose to run continuously in the background every two minutes. It seems that at some point though the service stops running or alarmManager stops scheduling/doing what is requested of it. Here is a breakdown of my code flow.
User opens the app,. Service is started, Inside the service I cancel any alarms that might be for this app then create a new one set for two minutes out, Once the alarm is set I call a GPS location check to get lat/lon, I then call up a .net web service to do some stuff with the lat/lon, Once text is returned I check that text for certain Items, If a certain item is found I send a broadcast out to a receiver that then creates a wakelock, starts a new intent to open an activity of my app then sounds an alarm, Right after I broadcast I call stopSelf() as well as calling stopSelf() if the text did not contain certain Items, I call finish() on the new activity I started if we go that far once the Active screen of my app is closed.
The reason I think something is dieing out here is because after some point in time usually once I wake up in the morning and check the phone I no longer see my GPS icon on my droid checking every two minutes.
I'm planning to use the JavaScript interface to Java, to connect to Java methods that go to the network (or some other long-running function) and deliver the results via callback.
The flow is: 1. User clicks on a link in the WebView, which calls my Java code. 2. My Java code posts a worker Runnable to a Handler, and returns immediately. 3. The worker goes to the network, then makes a callback to the WebView.loadUrl("function('result')") to deliver the result.
I made an example that sleeps inside the Runnable. The entire WebView becomes unresponsive! What is the proper way (if any) of implementing a long-running JavaScript call?
Is it safe to call loadUrl() from multiple threads?
I have an AsyncTask that scans the file system and publishes progress through Notifications. To do this I need a reference to the current Activity in the AsyncTask.
I also don't want to kill the task when the activity is destroyed. How do I avoid leaking the activity and everything it references on each configuration change?
One possibility is to remove the reference in OnPause() to be sure it is gone when the Activity is destroyed, but that would mean notifications stops coming as soon as you leave the activity which is no good.
Isn't there a recommended way of dealing with AsyncTasks in this way?
How to programmatically stop a long-running query?
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:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: attempt to acquire a reference on a close SQLiteClosable
I JUST had to restart my phone for the first time (some weird lagging started). It had been running since two days after launch (when I received it from letstalk.com)

I can run it fine on a phone running 1.5 but when I try to launch it with an emulator running 1.5, the emulator doesn't show up on the list of available AVDs. I have the <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/> tag in my manifest but it doesn't make a difference.

I wrote two apps and submitted them to the marketplace last night (been roughly 12 hours now). One was a LITE version of my app and the next was a Standard version. Neither shows up in a search on the Marketplace even though the LITE version of my app has been installed 25 times already.Is there a lengthy approval process that goes on before an app is approved?
View 19 Replies View RelatedOnce you fill out the submission form and upload the apk, assuming the file is signed properly, etc, how long does it take an application to show up in the Market?The Dev Guide doesn't appear to mention this detail. I'm guessing it should show up almost immediately since I've never read anything about waiting for an approval process.

I listen to podcasts and recorded shows that can go on for several hours. I'm looking for a media player with a "skip to" function, so if I get interrupted, I don't have to fiddle with my finger on a slider to find the right section. I just enter "1:33" or whatever and the player goes to that location. Neither the stock media player nor mixzing support that (that I can see). I don't need full RSS support, automatic downloading, I just want a media player that I can skip to a particular spot in a track by specifying the time.

I've rebooted several times and tried both Nova Launcher and trebuchet.

I need an Android application which should be able to fetch data from the web (maybe an .apk or a .jar) and launch "something" from it.
If it's a "trivial" class there's no problem at all. This is my Loader

The problem is that the code I want to execute looks very like an application, which should have a "simple" view and some interaction on it.
I'm not able to invoke the "onCreate" method of my downloaded class.
I guess I've three streets:
I look for a method which silently install the application and then runs it (is it possible?) I understand how to initialize a second "application" inside my own one (with its own R and all stuff) I write my master program to fetch data from the web and construct pages dinamically.
I create new Project.
In that I move to res -> layout -> create one xml file.!
I gave name Login.xml but it show error (only [a-z] and [0-9] allowed).
Then I remove the file and create new file as login.xml.!
But It show the new Error "your project contain error(s) please fix them before running your application"
How to I fix the error..!

I notice that my application continues to run in the background after I hit the home or back button. I tried calling the finish() method and it still says its running. On another note, how do I setup the keyListener to respond to the user hitting the back or home button.

At the moment I can run the command from the terminal and it works but when I try to run it from the application it fails (and I don't know why - there is no USB on my Android phone to plug in the debugger).

The Emulators don't have this command to run - and they are running on Windows anyway. I can't think of anything else to add to this.
I was wondering if its possible to have an application run on startup of the phone and then run permanently in the background. Also I would then like it to monitor the call log, and detect any changes and run about 15, 20 lines of code each time there is a change.
