In my MainActivity I need to know the state of a boolean type variable to hide or put an icon visible, but this variable is generated in another class called TcpClient which is called several times by the MainActivity, I am trying to use intent to send this variable from the TcpClient class but I have errors.
This is my code of my MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
private TcpClient mTcpClient;
public boolean statusWIFI = false;
.
.
public class ConnectTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, TcpClient> {
#Override
protected TcpClient doInBackground(String... message) {
mTcpClient = new TcpClient(new TcpClient.OnMessageReceived() {
#Override
//here the messageReceived method is implemented
public void messageReceived(String message) { //we create a TCPClient object and
publishProgress(message); //this method calls the onProgressUpdate
}
});
mTcpClient.run();
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
//arrayList.add("RX: " + values[0]); //in the
arrayList we add the messaged received from server
mDumpTextView.append( values[0] );
mDumpTextView.append( "\n" );
mScrollView.smoothScrollTo( 0, mDumpTextView.getBottom() );
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); // notify the
adapter that the data set has changed. This means that new message
received
// from server was added to the list
}
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuItem IconWIFI = menu.findItem(R.id.bt1_wifi);
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle bundle = null;
bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle !=null) {
statusWIFI = bundle.getBoolean( "mstatusWIFI");
}
if (statusWIFI == true){
IconUsbON.setVisible(true);
}else{
IconUsbON.setVisible(false);
}
return true;
}
This is the code of my TcpClient class:
public class TcpClient {
private Boolean statusWIFIX = false;
.
.
public void stopClient() {
statusWIFIX = false;
Intent intent = new Intent( this, MainActivity.class );
intent.putExtra( "mstatusWIFI", statusWIFIX );
startActivityForResult( intent, 0 );
sendMessage(Constants.CLOSED_CONNECTION+": " + Modelox);
// send message that we are closing the connection
mRun = false;
if (mBufferOut != null) {
mBufferOut.flush();
mBufferOut.close();
}
mMessageListener = null;
mBufferIn = null;
mBufferOut = null;
mServerMessage = null;
}
Here is the error; someone could tell me how to correct this
I did't see any initialization of mTcpClient, you need to initialize it like:
mTcpClient= TcpClient();
and if your variable is in TcpClient class you can access it via mTcpClient.statusWIFIX
You also need to make statusWIFIX scope to public like this:
public Boolean statusWIFIX = false;
in your TcpClient class.
You can also send data via intent but just for accessing statusWIFIX to start an activity again is not a good approach.
You must have to pass activity context into the Intent constructor. The TCPClient is not seems any activity or service.

I have answered another question today which has exactly the same mistake.
ServiceA obj1 = new ServiceA();
ob1.IntService();
You are trying to create a new object of a service which is a very very bad practice. You cannot simply create an object of service like this. All Services in Android must go through the Service lifecycle so that they have a valid context attached to them. In this case a valid context is not attached to the obj1 instance. So as a result the line
Intent MyIntentService = new Intent(this, MyIntentService.class);
causes a null pointer as 'this' is null. (Why? Because this refers to the context which has not yet been created as the service is not started using startService(intent))
Btw I don't understand why you are starting the intent service from within the service. you can simply do it from the DataProviderObserver class like this
Intent MyIntentService = new Intent(context, MyIntentService.class);
context.startService(MyIntentService);
since context is present in the class.
I have a service that I'm using to send SOAP Webservice calls. Everything is working perfectly and it never crashes, but I kinda think it should.
My problem is that when I have long running queries (10-50 sec.) onDestroy() is called before my workerthread is done (and I call stopSelfResult). Could it be that System.out.println isn't executed right away/out of sync (cached) in the LogCat window?
The is how a start the service through QueryBase class:

Your service is stopped if you call stopSelfResult() with the latest startId. So if the service gets started with an intent for startId=1 and another intent with startId=2 and the second is finished before the first, you call stopSelfResult(2) before you finished for startId=1. The service gets destroyed immediately if you call stopSelfResult() with the latest startId and no other intents are pending.
Hold the latest startId. Add all startIds you wish to process in an array (e.g. List<Integer> runningStartIds) and remove them when you've finished processing them. After removing on finishing, compare the current startId with the latest one and do not call stopSelfResult() if runningStartIds is not empty. So you will end up calling stopSelfResult() only for the latest startId, when all intents were processed and no more intents are pending.
Should work, although I haven't posted an example.
.:EDIT:.
Explenation:
The next Intent may come in as fast as you return from onStartCommand() regardless of what you're doing in the background.
.:EDIT:.
Not an Improvement(Improvement:
Thinking about that, in fact you only have to keep the mLastStartId. Just skip calling stopSelfResult() until the finished startId matches mLastStartId.)
Unfortunately, it always can be happen. Actually, android application components' life cycle aren't synchronized w/ any type of worker threads as default.
So, you may need to check the status of Service manually, for example you can have one boolean flag to indicate if a service is working or not. Another handy approach is using IntentService instead of using normal service, it handles worker thread and life-cycle features by itself.
public class MyIntentService extends IntentService {
public MyIntentService() {
super("MyIntentService ");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
// This callback-method is called inside worker thread,
// so you can do some long-time network job here.
SystemClock.sleep(30000); // 30 seconds
// In this timing the service will be stopped automatically.
}
}
I am using service for running long background tasks in my application, in the service these functions are running login to XMPP and getting some data from XMPP server. i want to show the progress bar upto login completed. How to get response from service to activity to Update progress bar properly to avoid some exceptions in UI.
I am calling service like this
final Intent gtalk_intent = new Intent(AccountsActivity.this, GtalkService.class);
gtalk_intent.putExtra("user_name", acc.getAcc_Name());
gtalk_intent.putExtra("user_pass", acc.getAcc_Pass());
startService(gtalk_intent);
this is the code from service
public class PmService extends Service {
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mBinder;
}
public class PmBinder extends Binder {
public PmService getService() {
return PmService.this;
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
context = this;
app_preferences = new AppPreferences(this);
chat_source = new ChatsDataSource(this);
chat_source.open();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if(extras == null) {
full_name = extras.getString("user_name");
if(full_name.contains("#")) {
String[] _na = full_name.split("#");
U_name = _na[0];
}
U_pass = extras.getString("user_pass");
}
new PmAsync().execute();
return START_STICKY;
}
private class PmAsync extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
SASLAuthentication.supportSASLMechanism("PLAIN", 0);
ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration(server_host, SERVER_PORT, SERVICE_NAME);
configure(ProviderManager.getInstance());
m_connection = new XMPPConnection(config);
try {
m_connection.connect();
Roster.setDefaultSubscriptionMode(Roster.SubscriptionMode.manual);
} catch (XMPPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
m_connection.login(U_name, U_pass);
setPacketFilters();
} catch (XMPPException e) {
}
return null;
}
}
i want to show the progress bar upto login completed, how to response from service after login completed?
Via Binder you can send callbacks to your Activity, which means that you can update UI.
Add according method to your Binder (let's name it onProgress)
From your AsyncTask call method of this Binder
In order to know about progress updates consider using Observer pattern (in other words - your Activity should listen for updates of your Binder, or more specifically - of calling Binder.onProgress method)
You can update the progress bar via overriding the onProgress() method
here is a close to your case that you can refer to.link
I've looked at a number of other threads with similar titles, and none seem to cover my problem. So, here goes.
I'm using the Google market expansion files (apkx) library and sample code, with a few modifications. This code relies on receiving callbacks from a service which handles background downloading, licence checks etc.
I have a bug where the service doesn't get correctly attached, which results in a softlock. To make this more unhelpful, this bug never happens on some devices, but occurs about two thirds of the time on other devices. I believe it to be independent of Android version, certainly I have two devices running 2.3.4, one of which (a Nexus S) doesn't have the problem, the other (an HTC Evo 3D) does.
To attempt to connect to the service, bindService is called and returns true. OnBind then gets called as expected and returns a sensible value but (when the bug occurs) onServiceConnected doesn't happen (I've waited 20 minutes just in case).
Has anyone else seen anything like this? If not, any guesses for what I might have done to cause such behaviour? If no-one has any thoughts, I'll post some code tomorrow.
EDIT: Here's the relevant code. If I've missed anything, please ask.
Whilst adding this code, I found a minor bug. Fixing it caused the frequency of the problem I'm trying to solve to change from 2 times in 3 to about 1 time in 6 on the phone I'm testing it on; no idea about effects on other phones. This continues to suggest to me a race condition or similar, but I've no idea what with.

I am trying to send a message to my main activity from an Async task embedded within a Service. Basically, the Async task has to block on input and it can't run in the main Activity thread (the blocking was removed from the example code below). When the data comes in though, I need to send it to the main activity. I am finding that the messages sent below never make it. If the answer is moving the bind within the Async task, how do you do that? Pointing to example code would be a big help if possible.
public class InputService2 extends Service {
int bufferSize = 1024;
Process process;
DataInputStream os;
TextView inputView;
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
private MyAsyncTask inputTask = null;
public void onCreate(){
inputTask = new MyAsyncTask();
inputTask.execute((Void[])null);
}
private class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void> {
int mValue = 0;
static final int MSG_SET_VALUE = 3;
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void progress){
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
}
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
int i = 0;
try {
mValue = 0x23;
Message message = Message.obtain(null,MSG_SET_VALUE,mValue,0);
mMessenger.send(message);
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
}
}
final Messenger mMessenger = new Messenger(new IncomingHandler());
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mMessenger.getBinder();
}
}
Below is inside the activity:
class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_LONG;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, msg.arg1, duration);
toast.show();
}
}
boolean mBound;
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
// This is called when the connection with the service has been
// established, giving us the object we can use to
// interact with the service. We are communicating with the
// service using a Messenger, so here we get a client-side
// representation of that from the raw IBinder object.
mService = new Messenger(service);
mBound = true;
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
// This is called when the connection with the service has been
// unexpectedly disconnected -- that is, its process crashed.
mService = null;
mBound = false;
}
};
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// Bind to the service
bindService(new Intent(this, InputService2.class), mConnection,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
It looks like you based your example on the javadoc reference at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#RemoteMessengerServiceSample, however you left out much of the implementation detail that actually makes it work. You have to go back and implement the full functionality referenced in that example to use that particular pattern: pay careful attention to the REGISTER_CLIENT and UN_REGISTER_CLIENT implementation sections in the IncomingHandler class as these are the bits that actually ensure that the Message can be transferred from the Service to the Activity.
