I want to write a service in my application. I hope the service can automaticaly access to internet and update database after phone boots up every time. The whole process is background and no any UI for user. Is it possible? there is any demo ?

I am developing a Service component which runs periodically, triggered by the Alarm Service. At the moment I have written an Activity which enables a user of the Service component to schedule it to run or cancel the service from running (just adds or removes scheduled Alarms via the Alarm Service).However I would like to have the Service component get scheduled to run at Android boot-up time - I would like this to happen without user inter-action (so not using the Activity I have written). I plan to have a stored boolean value in Preferences which will either enable or disable the service. Does the Android Framework support a way for me to support running some code at system boot or soon after ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedGood Evening, I doing a bit of surfing this morning with the Desire and put it in down for a few hours and when I cam back to it about 4 hours later I found the battery was dead.. After charging it up and turning it back on all it will do is show the white screen with green HTC letters before rebooting again.
Very frustrating as I have just got this one setup the way I like it since being replaced. I can not even say why it has happened, I use no task killers and the only app ran was the internet via wifi.
I have called Orange and they will send a new one out tomorrow to replace it, so good for the customer services but this is my second faulty desire.
I tried loading the phone with the volume down button pressed and using fastboot / recovery but no joy there.
Before it goes back tomorrow I really want to reset the phone to factory defaults as all my data will remain in the phone and I do not trust any 3rd party to clear it down.
Does anyone know what I can do to clear the data please?
I am very new to this rooting process of Android but I figured Cyanogen seemed simple enough, but I managed to screw it up. The phone boots up to TWRP 2.3.3.1 but the phone has no OS installed so I don't know what to do.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe only way I know this is having installed a task manager. There would be no other way of knowing this.
I have about 14 apps downloaded form the market. Not too many, but I was susrprised to see applications like shop savvy and My Backup automatically start up when my phone boots up. Whilst in the apps themselves, there seems to be no way of stopping this behaviour. Why would they do this ? Why is there no kill switch fro these apps natively for android ? It seems there is a lot of chatter about whether or not task managers are good for the platform, or whether we should just let android do it's thing on it's own. I'm really in two minds whether to carry on using a TM or not. It's for reasons such as shop savvy opening up on it's own when I don't want it to that I'm tempted to keep in, if only for my own piece of mind, and the ability to kill apps that don't need to be on. This MUST have a direct correlation with battery usage.
Anyway, I have to say that I've had most platforms, iphone, blackberry, symbian, and Android really does seem to me to be the best one yet. I am extremely happy with my Hero.
I've had a Samsung Galaxy Ace for a year and a half and have never had any problems with it. It gets dropped once or twice a week, but besides that it stays pretty safe. Last night I went to restart my phone and when I turned it back on it showed its logos like it always does before bringing me to my lock screen but this time it got stuck at the Samsung logo. It pulsed white and blue for around 30 seconds, then goes through all the logos again and it does this on loop. I've tried removing the battery and trying it, removing the SD and SIM cards and trying it, and no luck.

Currently, it is taking about 20+ mins and for this time my UI is stuck. I was thinking of using a thread in service so my UI doesn't get stuck but it is giving error.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a service (input method) and from within that service I want to start and activity which was declared in the same manifest. The activity maybe running but in the background.
How do i check its presence and bring it to front, or optionally start this.
From what I can gather from other posts, this is about what I need to do:
CODE:..............
I don't knwo which of thest flags pertain to what I need to do. The docs are quite merky, and my random attempt at making this work failed.
My application has a background process which continuously waits on a socket for receiving messages and it should be started only once and at the time of application starting.Thus i want to do that background job in a service.
The service should not be started from the activity ,it should be started at the application starting.
How can i define the service,which will be started at the time of application starting?
If at all the service is started from activity.The activity can be destroyed and restarted.when this happens the service also be restarted .
We have a service. bindService() returns true. But our ServiceConnection is never called with onConnect(). The onCreate() of the service is never executed (neither is the onBind(), of course).
Except sometimes! (twice now, out of many many tries).
Remote service, local service, intent-filter, direct class invocation, "procedure" attribute, no procedure attribute, cupcake, 1.1, emulator, device ... we've tried 'em all!
We belive the service is found, and in the remote case, we see the new process always created ... but the dang service just isn't started. We aren't specifying any security settings and writing the simplest manifest entry we can....
I am trying to start a service from the BroadcastReceiver, but I keep getting the startService line marked as an error:
CODE:............
I am having service inside a .apk file. I want to automatically start this service when this package is downloaded from the browser and installed. Is it possible to automatically start the service when the .apk file gets installed using some special intents.
I am right now using activity and broadcast recievers to start the service . But however, I would like to start the service automatically when the apk file gets installed with out writting activity or broadcast recievers.
My service is not in the same package namespace as my application / activities.
I have
CODE:...........
The issue is that my service is in -- package com.myco.service.myservice and my activity is in -- package com.myco.test.myactivity
My questions are:
1. does my service *have* to be in the com.myco.test namespace?
2. if it doesn't, how do I specify the android:name for my activity and my service to work?
I have moved some intensive processing from my main thread to a service. My UI is hanging and then crashing when I start the service, even if I put the service start in a new thread started via
Thread updateThread = new Thread(null, backgroundRefresh2, "new_thread"); updateThread.start();
What am I doing wrong? Also, it seems like the cause of the eventual crash in the service/worker thread doesn't show up in LogCat.
Is it possible to start a service directly from the launcher by clicking the application icon?
I have no activity just a single service which I want to start when I click on the icon, however when I specify my service's intent-filters it seems that it will not be recognised from the launcher, therefore no icon is visible in android's launcher.
CODE:............
