Android :: Keep FTP Connection - Or Any Connection Object - Alive Between Activities
Oct 27, 2010I'm coding a very basic FTP client on top of my application and I have 2 activities. The first one is the file explorer and the second one is the image viewer. Once I click on the image filename on the explorer, I want to pass the connection to the other activity to handle extra stuff. Basically, I want to keep the same org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient object (which handles the connection) alive in-between the 2 activities. I know I can't pass an object inside an intent so I don't know what my best bets are.

Sep 7, 2009If my screen locks while I have a wifi connection, then the connection is lost when I unlock the phone.First, is this perhaps deliberate, to save power? Also, either way, when I unlock the screen and go into wifi settings, I see that the phone is trying to make a wifi connection, but it never succeeds, even though it's my home network and I'm in the same room as the router. It just states 'Obtaining address.

Feb 8, 2010I have an app which declares a BroadcastReceiver, the receiver gets the broadcast, does what it needs to, then ends ensuring that everything is tidied up as needed. When I examine the system through the DDMS view in Eclipse the process for the application is still running after the receiver has completed. I've even boiled it down to a simple test case which gets a shared preferences instance from the context, checks a random setting, and then exits, and, when run on the 1.5 emulator (which is the minimum supported OS level) the process is still hanging around.The reason this is an issue is memory usage (which shows under DDMS as around 2MB).I've had queries about why the application still uses up memory even when it's not doing anything, so, my question is; Is this behaviour normal, or have I missed something that would make the process exit?

Jul 19, 2009Is it possible to keep service alive even if the foreground app does not run anymore? My app consists of a foreground app (UI) and a service that should keep running in the background until it is being explicitly stopped by the user (similar to a music player). The problem is that if the user opens other apps, my foreground app is being killed by the system (makes sense) but then also the service is being killed by the system (does not make sense).

Apr 14, 2009I just wondered which frequency is OK to send whitespace keep alive packets onto a TCP connection to keep it alive on a T-Mobile 3G connectivity (the use case is to maintain an idle XMPP session alive). On SFR in France, we are disconnected if idle for 3 minutes, but I guess T-Mobile's timeout is lower. By the way there is a bug in the Smack library, the "keep alive" setting is not enforced, e.g. if you set it to 30s, in the worst case the whitespace will not be sent until the double of this time (60s).

View 9 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Phonestatelistener Dies After While - Kept Alive?
Dec 7, 2009am developing an app that needs to track incoming calls. I have set up a phonelistener which is launched form a service like so
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService (TELEPHONY_SERVICE); tm.listen(mPhoneListener, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_NONE);
This seems to work for a while but then fails to fire after - say an hour. I have tried relaunching the listening in a timertask every 60 seconds but this does not seem to work. Is there a way of keeping a listener alive for a long period of time. I can only assume the system is garbage collecting it.

View 14 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Keeping Service Alive Across Configuration Changes
Apr 7, 2010The default way configuration changes (i.e., rotates) are handled is to destroy the activity & recreate it with a new one. What is the recommended way to handle these changes in an activity that binds / unbinds to a service (that is possibly heavy/slow to start)? When the activity gets destroyed, it unbinds & causes the service to be destroyed. When the new activity is created, it binds & recreates the service.
The only choices seem to be:
-- override onConfigurationChanged in the activity. Feels ok, but non - conformant.
-- explicitly start the service & only stop it when the last activity gets an onDestroy that's not due to a config change (i.e., there was no call to onRetainNonConfigurationInstance). Feels icky.
-- explicitly start the service & don't stop it until some amount of time after the last unbind. Ickier.
On a related note, what happens between activity switches within a process, where the first activity (A) starts the next activity (B) & then calls finish() -- is there a guarantee that B.onCreate is called before A.onDestroy? If not, and the activities share a service, the same issue of keeping the service alive during this window exists, but with only the icky workarounds.
Android :: Keep Threads And Views Alive Between Activities
Sep 13, 2010Trying to understand the Android framework model. I have an application that needs to have several threads running. On thread gets GPS fixes, another picks up GPS fixes and pushes them to server, and yet another occasionally polls a server for dispatched orders. Some of these threads update status Views as well.
Since I am new to Android, the application framework model hasn't clicked for me. Where are these threads started? Right now I start the threads in the initial Activity, but if I understand it right, once that Activity goes invisible it is stopped. Furthermore, I have to track GPS and network statistics so that I can have a View which may (or may not) be the active View.
Android :: Keeping An Activity Alive Instead Of Destroying It?
Nov 23, 2009Is there a way to keep an Activity in memory after the user hits the back button on it?ActivitySearch is used frequently in my app, however after the user starts it up, then hits the back button, it's destroyed, and the next visit to it requires it be built from scratch again.If after its first construction, I could just request it be paused instead of destroyed on the back button, then I could reuse it. Is there a sensible way of doing this?The only way I could think of reasonably doing it is to combine ActivitySearch with ActivityMainMenu into a single activity, and simply switch views when the user chooses search, but this is probably a bad design.

Android :: Way To Keep Service Alive Till Phone Switched Off?
Nov 23, 2010Once we call the startService() method, can we keep the service alive until its explicitly stopped by the user? I want my service to stay alive until the phone is switched off. How can i do this? The idea is that when I receive an incoming call, I want to start recording and once the status changes to idle, I want to stop the recording. I am doing this inside my service. It does work sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. How can I implement such a thing in a service? Can someone help me with this?

Feb 24, 2010I am currently firing an Intent to a Broadcast Receiver which in turns starts an Activity.
Then from the same Service another Intent is fired to a Broadcast Receiver thats in the Activity.

I was wondering is there anyway to make sure an Activity is alive before sending an Intent?

Dec 21, 2011I would like to change the Keep Alive Timeouts in the native SIP Application. I'm using a Nexus S with ICS. But I always get this error
Code:
I/ActivityManager( 152): START {act=android.intent.action.MAIN flg=0x4000000 cmp=com.android.phone/.CallFeaturesSetting} from pid 1745

have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
That's what i did:
-Check out Android Source with repo, Tag 4.0.3
-Edited frameworks/base/voip/java/com/android/server/sip/SipService.java
-lunch full-user
-make
-Copied the resulting Phone.apk and Phone.odex from out/target/product/generic/system/app/ to my Phone and fixed permissions.
Android :: Cancel/abort Connection From ThreadSafeClientConnManager Connection Pool
Oct 14, 2009I'm using ThreadSafeClientConnManager to manage a pool of client connections, because my application has several threads, which are simultaneously connecting to a webserver.
Abstract sample code:
CODE:..............
Now lets say on of this threads is downloading a large file, but then the user of my application is switching to another activity/screen. Therefor the file is needless and I'd like to abort this download connection.
In ThreadSafeClientConnManager I found this method: public ClientConnectionRequest requestConnection (HttpRoute route, Object state) Returns a new ClientConnectionRequest, from which a ManagedClientConnection can be obtained or the request can be aborted.
So far I've been using:
CODE:.........
Now from what I understand, I've to use:
httpclient.getConnectionManager().requestConnection(HttpRoute route, Object state);
And that's the point where I'm stuck. I assume that for the route I can just use new HttpRoute(new HttpHost("10.0.0.1")) or whatever my server is, but what to put in for Object state?
And second, as soon as I've the ClientConnectionManager I can call getConnection(long timeout, TimeUnit tunit). But then from there, how I do I execute my HttpGet httpRequest = new HttpGet(URL_TO_FILE); as I did before with HttpResponse response = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);?
I've been gone through the documentation and tried out quite a few different things, but I wasn't able to obtain a working solution. Therefor any suggestions and/or code examples are more than welcome.
