I am trying to have some code execute every 24 hours.But my question has to do with how to trigger the service even if the phone has not been rebooted.In other words, suppose someone installs my application.I would like to make it so that in 24 hours, it executes some code, whether or not the phone has been rebooted.

I have an observation concerning how Android handles scheduled events and would like any suggestions, comments, or feedback on how other developers have handled this behavior in Android. I have noticed that there does not appear to be anyway to schedule an event to happen at "regularly" scheduled times. By regularly scheduled times I mean a long-lived service/schedule that must run every "n" minutes. For instance, an application that must check the status of a web service at user specified intervals (like every 10 minutes). I have tried a writing a service to run in the background using Context.start Service, Android stops that service after a few minutes. And, there are many senior Android developers that recommend using the "alarm that starts a service" method for this type of application. My testing on Context.Start Service would tend to agree. My best results have been using an alarm to start a service, although the results are still less than stellar. I have done weeks of testing trying to get Android to run a service every 10 minutes (or even close to 10 minutes) using the "Alarm that starts a service" method. The best I can get in a 24 our period for an alarm scheduled every 10 miutes is about 75% (110 out of 144 repeating alarms). I have tried varying this interval from 1 minute to 30 minutes with the same result. I have tested on a non-rooted T-Mobile both 1.0 and 1.1 firmware. I have tested on an ADP using both 1.0 and 1.1 firmware. I have tried using "PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK" and "FULL_WAKE_LOCK" feature of the PowerManager. Nothing seems to work. Android just will not run an event consistently. I had high hopes for the repeating alarm that starts a service, but it seems Android always skips many of the scheduled alarms. I am beginning to think that "Reguarly" scheduled events is not even possible in Android. I'm looking for any comments and suggestions from developers and Android engineers.

When it happens - and I've encountered it several times in a few days now - no camera application can access the camera. A power cycle is needed to recover from this locked camera state.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAre there any apps out there that would allow me to have both gmail and exchange switch from "as mail arrives" to "manual" certain times of the day?For instance, I sit in front of my work computer most of the day and don't require immediate email to my phone, same with gmail.So from say 8-5pm I don't really need instant mail. Also, from say 11pm - 6am I also don't need instant mail since I'm sleeping :-)it would be important that this would be controlled by days (for instance, I would like to be able to schedule the instant mail off on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am - 5pm.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am trying to execute a {public void} method in Service, from scheduled TimerTask which is periodically executing.This TimerTask periodically checks a condition. If it's true, it calls method via {className}.{methodName};However, as Java requires, the method needs to be {pubic static} method, if I want to use {className} with {.dot}.The problem is this method is for notification using Toast(Android pop-up notification) and Status Bar.But for this to work, the method must not have {static} modifier and resides in Service class.So, basically, I want background Service to evaluate condition from scheduled TimerTask, and execute a method in Service class.Can anyone help me what's the right way to use Service, invoking a method when certain condition is satisfied while looping evaluation?
