Check In Android When Application (not Activity) Going To Closed?

How to check in android when application (not Activity) going to closed?
In the following scenario, the fields of Activity is not released when the Activity is closed with calling finish().
Class MyClass {
}
If I understand it correctly, bindService() with BIND_AUTO_CREATE will start a service and will not die until all bindings are all unbinded.
But if I bindService(BIND_AUTO_CREATE) at onCreate() and hit back button to close the activity, the service calls onDestroy() and dies also.
I don't call unbind() at anytime. So is that mean when the Activity got destroyed, the binding got destroyed also and the service gets destroyed also?
What if I want the service to be always running, at the same time when the activity starts I want to bind it so that I can access the service?
If I call StartService() and then bindService() at onCreate(), it will restart the service at every launch of Activity. (Which I don't want).
So I could I start service once and then bind next time I launch the activity?
I have a widget that launches an activity, but when the activity finishes using the finish() I don't know how my widget can know about it since I can't override onActivityResult() which seems like the only way to listen when an activity closes...?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wrote an android program that: has a main activity for UI, and it starts a service. The service timely callbacks the UI activity to update views. It works fine except: if the activity is closed (with BACK) and start again, the service will also be started again (The service plays audio file, so there are two overlapped sounds). I use bindService with BIND_AUTO_CREATE flag to start and connect to service. According to the document, it should create service only if it doesn't exist, but obviously it starts another instance when opened second time. All I want is when the activity is closed, the service goes on running, and when the activity opens again, it can reconnect to the service. Is that possible? Or I just misunderstand the usage of service?

I am writing an application that listens to phone calls and perform some tasks when phone call arrives. The Application contains one activity which includes 2 buttons 'Start' and 'Stop' (where starts register the listener and stops unregister it - see code below).
The problem starts when the application is closed ( onDestroy is called ). If the user pressed on the start button and exit from the application the listener still working (which is the expected behavior) but from now it is impossible to unregister the listener since launching new instance of the application create new instance of phoneListener.
My question is:
1.Is there better way to implement my requirement?
2.Can I save the phoneListener object and reload It on application creation?

In an Android application, we usually got the "Force Closed" error if we didn't get the exceptions right. How can I restart my application automatically if it force closed? Is there any specific permission is used for this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedA customer asked me to create an android application for their internal use. Essentially it would some sort of mobile terminal for a special chemistry database.It doesn't make any sense, to distribute this application via "Android Market" since it is only useful for special users and payment wont be done per installation but for the whole contract.Is there any other way to distribute android apps besides the market? Maybe by putting them on a web page? Any hints appreciated since i couldn't find anything on the web.

I have an application with main view having a search button. On clicking the search button, search results are displayed in a text view. When I hit the back button at this view, instead of navigating to the previous screen, application itself gets closed. Could anybody please let me know how to go back to previous screen.

I hit the end button and pulled up my phones lock screen. Decided to test the new emergency dialer and when I pulled that up Open Home had force closed. When I hit end it returned me to the main screen w/o me entering my combination. I assume this could happen with any force closed app so although it's a rare issue that something FCs in the background it is possible and is a security issue. Just a heads up.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I exit out of an app the screen is blank for 30 seconds or so before my widgets and icons reappear. I had it back in November 2009 and I still have it after 2.0.1 and 2.1 and 2.2 and the other 2.2. I see a million threads here and on other forums asking about it. Just checking in to see if there was ever a solution discovered. Like all of you, I can always bring them back with a hard or soft reset.
I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to prevent it from happening in the first place. I assume that it's related to available memory or processor or something, so every once in a while I think "I'm going to streamline this thing and give it all kinds of available memory" and it doesn't work. I kill all widgets and go to vanilla wallpaper and it still happens. Anyone figure this thing out?

Is there a way to check and see if the activity exists? I don't think I can catch the runtime exception since startActivity() doesn't throw it.
I have an app that starts a service, then starts another activity previously selected by the user. Everything works on my app except I'm trying to get the service to kill itself, after it leaves the other activity without it having to come back to my activity. I've looked everywhere to see if anyone knows how to peek() search() the Activity Stack from a Service. Another way of wording is to check the foreground process from a service.
