Kiosk mode is not working.?

I am creating sample app with kiosk mode in my app to check that is kiosk mode work or not.?. But in sample app kiosk mode is not working. I means after screen goes off activity is not starting.
I have taken this from [http://www.andreas-schrade.de/2015/02/16/android-tutorial-how-to-create-a-kiosk-mode-in-android/][here]
THis is my main activity
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
if(!hasFocus) {
// Close every kind of system dialog
Intent closeDialog = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS);
sendBroadcast(closeDialog);
}
}
}
THis is my Application class
public class AppContext extends Application {
private AppContext instance;
private PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock;
private OnScreenOffReceiver onScreenOffReceiver;
PowerManager pm;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
instance = this;
registerKioskModeScreenOffReceiver();
pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
startKioskService();
}
private void registerKioskModeScreenOffReceiver() {
// register screen off receiver
final IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
onScreenOffReceiver = new OnScreenOffReceiver();
registerReceiver(onScreenOffReceiver, filter);
}
public PowerManager.WakeLock getWakeLock() {
if(wakeLock == null) {
// lazy loading: first call, create wakeLock via PowerManager.
wakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK | PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP, "wakeup");
}
return wakeLock;
}
private void startKioskService() { // ... and this method
startService(new Intent(this, KioskService.class));
}
}
This is receiver class
public class OnScreenOffReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String PREF_KIOSK_MODE = "pref_kiosk_mode";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF.equals(intent.getAction())){
AppContext ctx = (AppContext) context.getApplicationContext();
// is Kiosk Mode active?
if(isKioskModeActive(ctx)) {
wakeUpDevice(ctx);
}
}
}
private void wakeUpDevice(AppContext context) {
PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock = context.getWakeLock(); // get WakeLock reference via AppContext
if (wakeLock.isHeld()) {
wakeLock.release(); // release old wake lock
}
// create a new wake lock...
wakeLock.acquire();
// ... and release again
wakeLock.release();
}
private boolean isKioskModeActive(final Context context) {
SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
return sp.getBoolean(PREF_KIOSK_MODE, false);
}
}
THis is Service class
public class KioskService extends Service {
private static final long INTERVAL = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(2); // periodic interval to check in seconds -> 2 seconds
private static final String TAG = KioskService.class.getSimpleName();
private static final String PREF_KIOSK_MODE = "pref_kiosk_mode";
private Thread t = null;

private boolean running = false;
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
Log.i(TAG, "Stopping service 'KioskService'");
running =false;
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Starting service 'KioskService'");
running = true;
ctx = this;
// start a thread that periodically checks if your app is in the foreground
t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
do {
handleKioskMode();
try {
Thread.sleep(INTERVAL);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.i(TAG, "Thread interrupted: 'KioskService'");
}
}while(running);
stopSelf();
}
});
t.start();
return Service.START_NOT_STICKY;
}
private void handleKioskMode() {
// is Kiosk Mode active?
if(isKioskModeActive(ctx)) {
// is App in background?
if(isInBackground()) {
restoreApp(); // restore!
}
}
}
private boolean isInBackground() {
ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskInfo = am.getRunningTasks(1);
ComponentName componentInfo = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;
return (!ctx.getApplicationContext().getPackageName().equals(componentInfo.getPackageName()));
}
private void restoreApp() {
// Restart activity
Intent i = new Intent(ctx, MainActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
ctx.startActivity(i);
}
public boolean isKioskModeActive(final Context context) {
SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
return sp.getBoolean(PREF_KIOSK_MODE, false);
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
}
This is my manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Any one can solve this... for me..?? Thanks in advance..

Your method isKioskModeActive is always false. So it won't restore your app.

How to run a thread that uses an innerclass?

When clicked on the button on activity_main (button1) I would like to test the ChatClientService.
In the method onStartCommand i want to run a thread which uses the innerclass as runnable. This is were it goes wrong: the intent works (log shows aaaaa) and it goes into the run method (log shows aaaaa) but I do not manage to go into the innerclass. Any ideas? (sorry for the logs)
ChatClientService.java
public class ChatClientService extends Service {
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
//TODO do something useful
new Thread( new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Log.i("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa","aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
}
}).start();
return Service.START_NOT_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
public class ChatClient implements Runnable {
private BufferedWriter bw;
private BufferedReader br;
private boolean running;
public void halt() {
Log.i("DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD","DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD");
running = true;
try {
bw.close();
bw = null;
br.close();
br = null;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.i("EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE","EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE");
}
}
#Override
public void run() {
Log.i("HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH", "HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH");
try {
running = true;
Socket s = new Socket("<your pc ip>", 9999);
this.br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
this.bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(s.getOutputStream()));
String in = null;
while(running && (in = br.readLine()) != null) {
Log.i("CHATCLIENT RECV ", in);
}
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.i("FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF","FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.i("GGGGGGGGGGGGG","GGGGGGGGGGG");
}
}
}

AIDL, bind and unbind IExtendedNetworkService Service

I use AIDL interface IExtendedNetworkService to get USSD code. But application only work after reboot device. I tried bindservice after install app but it didn't work. So my problem is how way to bind service without reboot device . This is my code:

// listener is still inactive, so return whatever we got
Log.d(TAG, "inactive " + text);

Broad Cast Manager issue

I am a new in Android programming.I create one alarm manager and Broadcast manager program . The Broadcast manager class is defined as inner class in main activity. But the inner class is not working. I also give the code here. Please help me.
public class Alarmactivity extends Activity {
Button btn1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn1=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
startAlert(null);
}
});
}
public void startAlert(View view) {
AlarmManager am=(AlarmManager)this.getSystemService(this.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(this, Broadcas.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,i,0);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000 * 15, pi);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
public class Broadcas extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("**********************hello***********************************");
}
}
}

Have you registered the receiver with proper name in the manifest file? Simply giving the BroadcastReceiver name won't work in this case and mostly you need to use the name
Alarmactivity$Broadcas
EDIT:
This is my activity class:
public class MainTestActivity extends Activity {
private Button send_broadcast = null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_test);
send_broadcast = (Button) findViewById(R.id.send_broadcast);
send_broadcast.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
startAlert(null);
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_test, menu);
return true;
}
public void startAlert(View view) {
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(this, Broadcas.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, i, 0);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000 * 15, pi);
}
public static class Broadcas extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("**********************hello***********************************");
}
}
}
And this is my manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.coding.test"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

I'm getting ClassNotFound exception in BroadcastReceiver

I'm trying to use this very simple Service and BroadcastReceiver but I'm getting a
ClassNotFound exception. If I don't use startService things are fine so the problem it's with the receiver. I have registered it in the android manifest file so why do I get the ClassNotFound exception?
I will be using this method of communication for polling a php file and updating a ListView. Is this the appropriate way of communicating (broadcast intent)?
