Android :: Running Background Service That Would Disable SMS
Jun 25, 2010
I'd like to include a feature in my application that would include a running background service that would disable SMS, if certain conditions were met (location for instance). Is there a way I can intercept the user wanting to open any SMS app and block it? Would a Broadcast Receiver be able to do the trick? Maybe a different way to go about this?

How to find what service running on background on Android? Maybe I have to ask in another way? Does the service be presented as one "process", then we can use "ps" or "top" command to find it?

I have an android main activity which starts a service (class extending service).
The services onStart creates a Mediaplayer and starts playing an mp3 file.
Then when you click something in my main layout (from the main activity), I call startActivity to fire another screen. I would assume my music background service keeps running, however it finishes. How can I achieve my goal then? code...

I start a Service from an Activity, the user presses back, the Activity goes away and the Service stays running in the background. However the activity (and it's views) still stay in memory. I tested this with cupcake and G1. To reproduce I've made a simple program.
The activity:
package com.android.service_test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class StartService extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
startService(new Intent(getApplication(), RunningService.class));
} }

I have an application in which there will be a service continuously running in background and on certain conditions service should call an activity or pop-up a dialog. I think this is possible. The question is, in case device keyguard gets on say after 2 minutes of idle time then will the service continue running in background. And what will happen when the condition of opening pop-up or Activity is reached.

I have an EVO and I have a problem with it. I downloaded the app Advanced Task Killer to take care of apps running in the background. However sometimes when I pull it up I find that things like Sprint Navigation, Qik, Voice Dialer, and sometimes others are running without me pulling them up. My question is, how do I keep these apps from doing this, because they kill my battery when they come on and I don't know it?

I am new to Android, previous Crack Berry addict here. On the BB I could load Google Maps (including Latitude) to keep my position updated on Google Latitude online (I use it when I go riding on my motorcycle to give my wife a way to check if I'm still moving (= not dead)). Even if I shut down Maps, I could elect to have Latitude run in the background, so it would still update my position. How do I do this in Android? When I 'exit' Maps, it shuts it down, including Latitude, as far as I can tell. Can Android run Latitude in the background, or do I need to keep Maps open all the time?

Is there any way in android to know if your application is running in background? By background, I mean none of the applications activities are currently visible to the user?

I am in the process of creating an app that is similar to the build-in SMS app. What I have tried: - running a regular service which worked just fine until android kills the service - using the AlarmManager the make the 5 min. interval call to a service. But I was not able to make this work.

It seems background images are automatically shrunk in Android, for example, I use setBackgroundDrawable to set background of a view code...
Instead of shrinking, I want the image to be cropped to fit the screen size. How to do it?

We have an application that connects to a device and therefore needs to keep running in the background even when there are no Activities active. What is the recommended way to indicate that our application is still active and for it not to be killed automatically?

Every so often I check my memory with Advanced Task Manager and I see certain applications running in the background and my available memory has dropped quite a bit. Now I am using the HTC Incredible so I still have about 127 MB free, however what concerns me the most is why the programs are even launching themselves in the first place. I could see some application having to start themselves, like a twitter client or an email client, however one of the programs that seems to be launching itself is the eBay app. I installed the app in case I wanted to view an ebay listing however I never use the program and it still seems to launch itself. Is this an example of a poor application design (i.e. ebay app) or is there some other reason these programs are launching themselves?

I'm trying to develop a service, which needs to be run in background as a low priority task and does some complex processing . I need to gracefully quit my service when their is a resource shortage( like CPU running low on memory). Was there any APIs available to know the CPU resource usage, Objectives of my service is to - 1. Exit service when a high priority application(s) is running and which might need entire CPU resources. 2. Should store my states before onDestroy() of my service is called.

It seems trivial to use GPS in a background service, but how can you do the same with the accelerometer? Everything I've tried seems to require a context, but a background service doesn't have a context?
