Android : Kill The Currently Running Thread - If One Is Currently Running
Nov 4, 2010
I've created a class which is an extension of Thread. This class hits a web service and throws some data on screen. I don't care about persisting this data (the screen displays search results).
Currently, the user simply types into an EditText and clicks a search button. I'd like to take away the search button and implement something similar to Google's Instant Search where, as you type, the search results get updated.
This means, as the user types, the search parameters change. I want to be able to kill the currently running thread (if one is currently running) and spawn a new one with the new search string. How can this be achieved? Can I do it with Thread or will I need to use a new object?

Is it possible to get list of all process which are running in the Android system, and kill some of them? I know that there are some applications (task managers), but I would like to write my own, simple application.
I would like to write simple task manager, just list of all process and button which will kill some of them.
Could you just write some Java methods which I can call in order to get list of process, and method for killing them. Or just give me some advices.

I am using this method to identify if a thread is running at any point of time, irrespective of whether the enclosing activity is running or not. Is this the right way?

I am continuously running a thread in my activity which fetches lat/ lon information and the overlays on the map are updated dynamically through a handler. The overlays can be varying in number and can change dynamically. The thread is interrupted in onPause().
I am over riding the onTap() method in my Itemizedoverlay, where I want to call a dialog or may be start anothrer activity which describes that particular overlay item.
Every time I click on the moving overlay my app force closes.
I am basically using same onTap() method in http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.... .
If it is only a Toast message and not starting a dialog/activity then it works fine.

I have a situation where i want to show a dialog. However, the code that calls the method to show the dialog can be running either in the ui thread or not. How can i find if the current thread is running in the ui thread or not?

I have an application that starts on boot using a broadcast receiver, also I have an activity and a process, because the service must run always on the background I am starting the service on it's own process using the android:process manifest tag.The ui is only for presentational needs and I would like the user to be able to run the service even if the activity is not active.when I press the back button or the home button the activity's on destroy method is called and the service although seems its running (it appears on the task manager) its not behaving as supposed, it should connect to the net and send some data but every X time using an timer task but the task never fires so the data are never send.

Suppose I have code in the onStart() handler of my Service to launch a thread to do some stuff and then call stopSelf().stopSelf() gets called before the thread finishes.What exactly happens?I've tested this out myself and my thread continues to execute until it is finished.Does Android hear the stopSelf() call, but postpone it until the thread is finished?

I have a project that builds against Android v2.1 . 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 am basing my game off of the Lunar Lander demo.
The problem I am having is my game not restoring its last saved state when it comes back into focus.
When the game loses focus/quits it saves all the information to a Bundle correctly, then runs surfaceDestroyed() to shut down the thread.
When I restart the game, I thought onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) method was supposed to always start first, then restore the saved Bundle if it is not "Null". But because it sees that I have started/ created a thread last time, it jumps straight to surfaceCreated method.
The only thing I can think of is to find a way to get rid/destroy the thread so that it runs onCreate at the start. However the stop() and destroy() methods for threads have been depreciated. Is there anyway to do this? Or is there a better method of saving an instance of the game? code...

I'm testing my app with the new 1.6 SDK, and I ran into the error below. The InstantiationException doesn't give me much details. I'm wondering if anyone can give me a tip for how to debug this type of situation. Also, if someone could point me to the source for PhoneLayoutInflater I'd appreciate it.
Note: This application works well using the 1.5 SDK. I've tested the 1.5 SDK version a lot in preparation for the ADC2.
This problem occurs on a 1.6 Platform, HVGA, API Level 4, Google APIs AVD.
I'll describe the code a bit, and give the actual lines which are involved.
First, I've sub-classed RelativeLayout. I've only dynamically added a view to the layout after inflation is complete. This RelativeLayout sub-class is used in a ListView.
Here are the bits that actually do stuff:
CODE:.........
I've put a break point at the first line of both the CheckableRelativeLayout constructor and onFinishInflate method, but neither method seems to be reached.
I instantiate this class from an XML layout like so:
CODE:.............
I also added a Java exception breakpoint for InflateException and I get this stack:
CODE:...........
I searched the GIT repository for the PhoneLayoutInflater, but could not find it. Anyone know where I can find the source for this PhoneLayoutInflater?
Finally, here is the error:
CODE:................
