I'm brand new to android and developing in general. I'm using android's SDK with eclipse Galileo. I've followed several tutorials to create different layouts. I've even learned recently how to use radio buttons and verify which ones were selected. Now I need to create a service that downloads and updates an xml file within the application. I've tried to locate a simple tutorial for services on Google's developer site but so far, so bad. If they exist could somebody point me in the right direction?
On the other hand, I've been told Google's tutorials are a little out dated. Is that true? If so, are there any other tutorials that would hand-hold (and possibly over-explain) how to use a service to a true newbie for free (like google)?
I have a Music Player application and music plays continuously even user comes out of application UI. I have read that such background processing should be done with service in android. How to do that?any idea?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible implement an Android application as a web service? On the official site I've read:
Note: If you want to develop a server-side application, we recommend that you implement your application as a servlet running in a servlet engine like Tomcat or full-blown JSEE container like Geronimo. If you prefer to implement a server-side application based on our HttpService, we'll assume that you know what you're doing and that you don't need help in figuring out which interceptors need to be configured.
How can I implement this? Apache TOMCAT can run on Android?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run the sample soft keyboard included in the SDK. I am using the debugger, and the literature says that to use a breakpoint while debugging a SERVICE, I need to include:
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
So here is the portion of the code I modified:
CODE:...........
I have put a couple of breakpoints, at the statements indicated by the comments.
This is what happens: the debugger first stops at the breakpoint1, for a few seconds. But then the service restarts. For the life of me I can't figure out what makes the service to restart.
My service works exactly the way i want as long as i use start and stop and communicate using intents. However my activity needs to change the state of my service as well as retrieving state information.So i thought it would be nice to broadcast some kind of state_changed event from my service and use a binder interface to pull information from the service or change the services state based on user input.This works fine too. The only problem is that my service gets killed when i unbind it just as the documentation says.Is there any way to keep the service alive but still get an interface to control it directly. My activity offers the user a way to stop the service and the service kills itself anyway after it's work is done but i don't want the service to stop every time the activity is destroyed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm confused about whether I need to run my service in a separate process. What are the advantages / disadvantages of each?For reference I'm trying to create an App that uses a service to play [streaming] audio in the background. So which one is better for my use case?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat I'm trying to do here is implement something like a peer-to-peer client. Being that, it will start a client thread and a server thread.I know Services themselves run in the main GUI thread, so I'll have to start a couple of independent threads (or Asynctasks?) for each server and client. The only thing I'm not so sure about is if I'll better have 1 Service starting 2 threads, or maybe 2 services, each one of them starting their own thread.

I am developing an Android app which needs to poll a specific webpage in time intervals. I've got it to the point where it does indeed poll the page on a specific interval, and that interval is specified in a SharedPreference which can be changed by the user in the settings page of the app. But complications arise when network connectivity is flaky.For example, how do I ensure that the Service "wakes up" the network adapter and gives it ample time to connect before polling the page, in the case that the phone was sleeping to save power? This polling action can happen as little as once every 24 hours, so I don't want to miss one action just because the network was out (but turned on a few seconds, minutes, or even hours later).
Or there are times when the web service doesn't respond, or DNS doesn't respond, or what have you, and for any reason it doesn't get a response even though the phone is technically connected. What sort of rule do I put in place to make this retry later, so that I'm not retrying repeatedly when the user specifically turned off their internet but I'm retrying soon enough that if it was just a hiccup, the data can be received soon after the first try?Are there any examples for this type of situation? What is the logic to best handle this?
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 2 Replies View RelatedI am porting GPS to Android now. I have been look for many web site relate to Android GPS porting include this group. However, I also feel confused about that. I have some questions. Can anyone give me some suggestions and I will appreciate about that. 1.There are 3 files : Android.mk, gps.cpp and gps_qemu.c in hardware/ libhardware_legacy/gps. What is the functionality about the 3 files in directory gps. Should I modify the 3 files to implement GPS. In this web site http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/cupcake/development/pdk/docs/g..., it shows that anyone that want to integate GPS with Android should create a shared library named libgps.so refer to gps.h. My question is how to create a shared library libgps.so.If the libgps.so is created, where can I find it. What is the relation between libgps.so and libhardware_legacy.so. 3.How to test GPS if gps is implemented successfully. I know there is a gpstest tool in Android but I don't know how to use it. Can someone tell me the detail about gpstest tool provided by Android.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSay I want to define that an URI such as: myapp://path/to/what/i/want?d=This%20is%20a%20test must be handled by my own application, or service. Notice that the schema is "myapp" and not "http", or "ftp". That is precisely what I intend: to define my own URI schema globally for the Android OS. Is this possible? This is somewhat analogous to what some programs already do on, e.g., Windows systems, such as Skype (skype://) or any torrent downloader program (torrent://).

I would like to implement a new LocationProvider. In this case, one that uses OpenCellID.org. I figured the pattern wou be quite similar to providing an AccountAuthenticator but was stunned that I could not find any documentation on this.
Looking at the source http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/frameworks/base/location/java/... all the relevant code seems to be in a service providing the ILocationManager.aidl -interface that I cannot navigate to or find using Goole Code Search.
Is it supported to provide your own LocationProvider at all? If so, what do I have to do to acomplish this?
