Android :: Registration And Polling Of Messages?
Aug 25, 2010
what I need to do is auto-register device if not already done and then start polling messages with the credentials I received through this registration. Now, after I read quite a bit about services, threads, asynctasks and the AlarmManager I'm totally confused about how to handle this. :-s So, there are my two main tasks. What would you recommend as a not-too-silly approach
1.) Registration
I'm currently spawning a service from my UI thread if there are no credentials saved in the DB. Inside this service I start an asynctask that POSTs my request to the server and receives the credentials for the new device. stopSelf ends the service.....................

So it looks like mobile phones these days are capable of providing gps data ;) I'm building a django app with a mobile edition that I want to be location aware. My question is, how does one access GPS data? Is there a standard, or do you have to custom code for android/iphone/other. Ideally, I'd imagine it being provided in the HTTP request in the same way you get information such as the IP Address and User Agent.

I've download it OK (I think). I go to complete and then it says there is a "parse error". It then says that registration failed.
I've uninstalled it and installed it again, still the same. Any ideas whats wrong?

I intend to develop an app on android that can help people selecting the best pizza/ice cream/hot dog in a certain town based on their ratings through a poll. Now what resources do I need to achieve the desired solution? Do I need a web service or website/device connectivity for the desired poll? I would like to start off with a simple application that just shows polls or ratings for a certain item.

Before i contact dataviz, I wanna make sure that maybe someone has done this. I just did a hard reset on my hero because my sense UI kept crashing, so i figured, "maybe if i hard reset, it'll stop the crashes." But before i reseted, i wanted to make sure if i could redownload doc to go before anything else, since this was my only paid app on the phone. I did the hard reset, and for the past hour, I've been trying to retrieve it back. I even purchased a maintenance package that i has the ability to redownload the app up to 10 times in the year. i tried that and it still asked me to register as a new user. Is there anyway i can put my registration ID on the phone? ugh this is really getting to me and i use this app the most for editing a lot on word.

I am required to work on an application which is be deployed on devices running Android 1.5. The application is supposed to maintain a connection with a server and regularly poll it for new data. The server will notify the client of new data following which the client will connect to the server and download the data.I know that ideally a push based approach will be more conducive here given that we are to run this on a mobile platform. Also, from Android2.2 there is going to be support for C2DM(Cloud to Cloud device Messaging) but as already mentioned this application is for devices running Android1.5.Implementation: I was thinking of using AlarmManager which would Broadcast Intents periodically(poll interval), The Broadcast receiver will then try to connect to the remote server and make data changed check. If the server has an update, the thread will connect to the remote server and download the data from the server.
Problem and Issues: 1. Is this the right way to approach the problem? 2. Is AlarmManager reliable? Would it remember Alarms after a device boot? (I think it does) 3. How do I ensure that battery usage is kept at minimum.(I have heard something about using "keep-alive" to sustain the session for longer time..what is this legend?) 4. What are other things that I need to consider? I am sure I must be missing lots of things here.

Is it possible to do polling in Android? For example, I want my application to monitor a directory continuously. If there is for example a new folder created in that directory I want to log it down. Is it possible to acheive this by polling? Or is there any other way to do this?

I have a Service that uses the LocationListener, and it will be running from boot, indefinitely. My question is, how often is too often to listen for location updates? Is 5 minutes a battery killer? What about 1?

I'm trying to pulse my bluetooth dongle, to see if it is range. Every second my Android sends a char to the dongle, which then responds with a char. If there is no response, or the char is wrong, then it should conclude that there is no connection. I'm able to send from Android to dongle (attached to MCU), and the dongle is able to respond. All I need is a simple way to read each char (when received) to compare it. I'm trying to do it in a seperate thread to make it run in its own loop.
Here is my code so far, but I think I might be off, so if you could give me a pointer!
void readFromInputStream()
{
Thread readFromInputStream = new Thread()
{
public void run()...............................

I keep trying to get my device registered with DivX so I can play DivX movies, but i'm having no luck. I go through the registration process and transfer the registration movie to my Ally and play it with no problems. But after that, I can't transfer and play any of the DivX movies I've bought on my Ally. And even if I go back and try to replay the registration movie again, it tells me my device is not registered and can't play the movie.Now this is no big deal because I doubt I will ever really watch a movie on my Ally except maybe on a business trip, but I was just curious if anyone has had any luck getting their device registered and/or playing a DivX movie on their Ally? I'd just like to get it setup in case I ever needed it if I could.

I'm a SGS2 owner on T-Mobile and a university student. Yesterday morning my phone anomylously deregistered itself from my network, displaying the error message "Not registered on network" whenever I attmpted to make a call.
I phoned Samsung and T-Mobile and resolved the issue by a 'Network Refresh' and manually registering the phone to T-Mobile. I registered manually and had the phone working hours before I got the text from my NSP telling me that I had recieved a network refresh. About which time I noticed that my 3G was not connecting, and has yet to establish a connection today.

Always have circle instead of sim1 or sim2 coverage and triangle indicating Network Registration Error and I try the following
1-restart or enable Flight mode then disable
2-replacing the two Sims cards with another from another network
3-trying to register manually and failed to register
4-replacing the software with another
I did all these steps separately or together.

I went into Weather Bug (free version) to check the weather and accidentally hit the menu button. Decide to check preferences for the heck of it and I see "Enable Updates' set to yes and Update Interval set to every 1 hour. What?? I know it's probably not a huge drain - but I had no idea that it was checking on a regular basis (and why I don't know). So please check your apps to make sure they are not updating data auotmatically! After that I went into every app I had to make sure I was either signed out or or set updates to manual.

Ever since I upgraded to 2.1 my email accounts have not been polling like they are set to. In some cases, it won't poll until I manually check it. I've tried 2 factory resets, but no luck. They are set to 5 min.

- Does the standard Gmail application that comes with the phone (not the email app) utilize polling on a set schedule, or is it set to automatically push messages to the phone as soon as they hit the Gmail server? I have noticed that what it does seems to correspond to my Google Account Settings (and what I have checked). Specifically, when I check off the "Sync Gmail" feature, I seem to get my Gmail emails on my phone in real time. Does this mean that checking this option allows Gmail to "push" emails to my phone, or is it simply polling at very frequent intervals?
- Which, in your experience, uses less battery: setting the phone to poll for e-mails every 30-60 minutes, or simply having the server "push" the e-mails straight to the phone? Also, does "pushing" e-mails work when Syncing is turned off (via the Power Control widget)

Is there a way to change how often the device updates my email? I had a sprint Hero and switched to the moment (very good decision), and I changed it on the Hero to improve battery life.

for those of you running moxier mail on exchange with a polling mode, have you ever noticed it doesn't successfully always update? I am seeing that at times i will set it to a 1 hour polling mode for example but it won't bring down new emails. If i notice on the moxier settings page the last synch'd time is further back than the polling interval i'll hit 'synch now' and it ALWAYS brings down any new messages.
I contacted moxier and they seem to think its an issue with my server. I should also say my IT department doesn't support moxier/android explicitly but there is no reason it shouldn't work as designed they say. I have dug into the moxier logs and it seems that everytime i see a failure the following similar entries appear to be in the logs:.............

Then all a sudden when i went back to text someone else my whole thread was gone and all my messages had been deleted. Then I try using the stock messaging app and obviously all my threads are deleted but messages send twice, any suggestions?

Newly replaced Eris, so I'm reinstalling a lot of apps. But now I've forgotten how I fixed this problem the last time. I'm getting double the messages (and notifications), via both Messages and Handscent. All i really wanna see/hear from/use is Handscent.

I tried the steps above, and it didn't work. I then compared it to the steps on the other link, and there it says to do mtdblock4, not mtdblock3
So I typed mtdblock4 instead, and I rebooted from the adb shell in the computer.
The boot animation went fine, and then when I got to my homescreen, I freaked out!
It is all black. Instead of the unlock button, there is a green button with an airplane symbol on it. It says NO SERVICE.
The bar IS transparent, but it has these weird symbols on it, not the normal ones.
AND, to make it worse, EVERYTHING is force closing. I'm getting messages after messages of force closing. NOTHING works.
I can't even pull down the notification bar to get mount my sdcard in order to delete the .apk file from there. All these stupid force close messages keep propping up.
Also, it says that the date is Wednesday, December 31 (the 31 is a thursday, though), and it has a time of 6 hours from now.
NOW,
I am actually still in debugging mode, and I still have access to adb shell.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO? I'M FREAKING OUT HERE!
(Why oh why did I have to root my beautiful Droid! I think I killed it!)

I am developing an application which is communicating with the server. Tha application can perform log-in and get different parameters from server.
The application consists of a RESTful client (custom class for making requests), Communication Service (the service which runs in the background) and the main activity.
For now I created multiple broadcast messages and multiple broadcast receivers in the main activity so when the application performs login operation a receiver (loginBroadcastReceiver) in the main activity receives a message and when another parameter is received from the server different message is broadcasted and another receiver handles the message.
This way however the application performance is poor but I am not sure whether it is due to multiple broadcast receivers.
Does anyone know what is the best way to exchange data between service and main activity - is it better to create a single broadcast receiver and retrieve all parameters from message or is it better to initialize multiple broadcast receivers for multiple parameters?

How can we delete MMS messages programmatically? What URI should I use for MMS. I have implemented deleting SMS and the code works fine. The URI I used for SMS was "content://sms/inbox". I tried "content://mms/inbox". But it does not work.
