Camera receiver can't detect image when taken for second time by Camera in Nougat

i have created an Application for Nougat device where my application is detecting all the images taking by camera and i am sending this images in the server. My application is successfully sending the first photo taken by the camera but the receiver neither detecting the second image i am taking nor sending it to the server. I have a ConfigurationBuilder class which will trigger each and every 30 minutes to detect the new pictures by the camera and a cameraReceiver and a service class where i have registered the receiver.

}
}

In Nougat ACTION_NEW_VIDEO and ACTION_NEW_PICTURE broadcasts were removed.
Instead this they recommend to use JobInfo.Builder.JobInfo.Builder.addTriggerContentUri(JobInfo.TriggerContentUri)
It is funny because In Android O this broadcast has been brought back - for registered receivers only.

How to receive missed messages on resuming connection lost in pubnub?

I tried https://github.com/pubnub/java/tree/master/android#connection-durability-reconnecting--resuming-when-a-connection-is-lost-or-changed but still I'm not able to figure out how to use setResumeOnReconnect() .
I'm running android-service and added following code snippet inside onCreate() of the service.
pubnubBroadcastReceiver =new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
int networkType = intent.getExtras().getInt(ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_TYPE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(networkType);
boolean isConnected = networkInfo.isConnected();
if(isConnected) {
ApplicationLoader.getPubnub().disconnectAndResubscribe();
// ApplicationLoader.getPubnub().setResumeOnReconnect(true);
}
}
};
registerReceiver(pubnubBroadcastReceiver, new IntentFilter(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION));
}
Don't know what I'm missing here.

As per PubNub sample chat, you need to implement code to get the last n messages(n: number of messages preferred).
/**
* Get last 100 messages sent on current channel from history.
*/
public void history() {
this.mPubNub.history(this.channel, 100, false, new Callback() {
#Override
public void successCallback(String channel, final Object message) {
try {
JSONArray json = (JSONArray) message;
Log.d("History", json.toString());
final JSONArray messages = json.getJSONArray(0);
final List<ChatMessage> chatMsgs = new ArrayList<ChatMessage>();
for (int i = 0; i < messages.length(); i++) {
try {
if (!messages.getJSONObject(i).has("data"))
continue;
JSONObject jsonMsg = messages.getJSONObject(i)
.getJSONObject("data");
String name = jsonMsg
.getString(Constants.JSON_USER);
String msg = jsonMsg.getString(Constants.JSON_MSG);
long time = jsonMsg.getLong(Constants.JSON_TIME);
ChatMessage chatMsg = new ChatMessage(name, msg,
time);
chatMsgs.add(chatMsg);
} catch (JSONException e) { // Handle errors silently
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
MainActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "RUNNIN",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mChatAdapter.setMessages(chatMsgs);
}
});
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void errorCallback(String channel, PubnubError error) {
Log.d("History", error.toString());
}
});
}

Android- listview, service mediaplayer, and boolean flags

I currently have a listview and when you click on an item it runs a service with a mediaplayer. If I click on another item in the listview the service that's running should stop and run the new service. I am using a boolean isRunning set to false and when the service is created it returns true. Then in the listview I call that flag in an if statement. However, its not exactly working. I think I may be doing this wrong. Any ideas?
This probably sounds confusing the way I described it so Here is the code to my listview and my service. I am only testing this on case 3 (so I press this item to start the service and then click on case 2 to see if it will stop it).
Listview class:
public class PlaylistActivity extends ListActivity{
private static final String TAG = PlaylistActivity.class.getSimpleName();
// Data to put in the ListAdapter
private String[] sdrPlaylistNames = new String[] {
"Best of June 2011", "Best of May 2011", "Dubstep",
"House", "Other"};
private ListAdapter sdrListAdapter;
Intent playbackServiceIntentBOJ, playbackServiceIntentBOM, playbackServiceIntentDUB;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.playlists_layout);
//fill the screen with the list adapter
playlistFillData();
playbackServiceIntentDUB = new Intent(this, DUBAudioService.class);
Log.d(TAG, "Made DUB Service Intent");
}
public void playlistFillData() {
//create and set up the Array adapter for the list view
ArrayAdapter sdrListAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.list_item, sdrPlaylistNames);
setListAdapter(sdrListAdapter);
}
//set up the on list item Click
#Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
//create a switch so that each list item is a different playlist
switch(position){
case 0:
Intent BOJintent = new Intent(this, BOJAudioActivity.class);
// Create the view using PlaylistGroup's LocalActivityManager
View view = PlaylistGroup.group.getLocalActivityManager()
.startActivity("show_city", BOJintent
.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP))
.getDecorView();
// Again, replace the view
PlaylistGroup.group.replaceView(view);
// playbackServiceIntentBOJ = new Intent(this, BOJAudioService.class);
Log.d(TAG, "Made BOJ Intent");
// startService(playbackServiceIntentBOJ);
Log.d(TAG, "started BOJ Service");
break;
case 1:

// Create the view using PlaylistGroup's LocalActivityManager
View view2 = PlaylistGroup.group.getLocalActivityManager()
.startActivity("show_city", BOMintent
.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP))
.getDecorView();
// Again, replace the view
PlaylistGroup.group.replaceView(view2);
Log.d(TAG, "Replace view");
//getApplicationContext().stopService(playbackServiceIntentBOJ);
//playbackServiceIntentBOM = new Intent(this, BOJAudioService.class);

This gets pretty complicated but I used the following to see if my service was running:
private boolean isMyServiceRunning() {
ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {
if ("com.example.MyService".equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
I added this in my listview class and put if statements in each case to see if it was running and if so would stop the service.
I also made my all of my binding conenctions public so that the listview class could access them and start them on click.
If anyone wants to further understand, etc message me.

let your app track the state, not your service.

Android remote services: no communication

I am trying to make an Activity run a certain service.
I followed the tutorial here but adapted to my code, and I can't make it work, because when I am invoking the service after starting and binding it to the activity, my Interface (IMyRemoteCallsLoggingService) object does not seem to have the connection properly created.
I have been trying to make this work for several days but I can't seem to get rid of a NullPointException.
Not sure if I made myself clear, in which case here's the code:
public class MtprojectActivity extends Activity {
[...]
private boolean started = false;
private RemoteSmsLoggingServiceConnection SmsLoggingConn = null;
private RemoteCallsLoggingServiceConnection CallsLoggingConn = null;
private IMyRemoteCallsLoggingService callsLoggingService;
private IMyRemoteSmsLoggingService smsLoggingService;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
retrievePreferences();
Button prefBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.prefsBtn);
prefBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Explicit intent to call the preferences
Intent preferencesActivity = new Intent(getBaseContext(),
Preferences.class);
startActivity(preferencesActivity);
}
});
}
private void retrievePreferences() {
// Get the xml/preferences.xml preferences
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
callsCheckbox = prefs.getBoolean("callsLogChk", false);
smsCheckbox = prefs.getBoolean("smsLogChk", false);
locationCheckbox = prefs.getBoolean("locationLogChk", false);
if (callsCheckbox) {
startCallsService();
bindCallsService();
try {
invokeCallsService();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
}
private void startCallsService() {
if (started) {
Toast.makeText(MtprojectActivity.this, "Service already started",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("app.mtproject", "app.mtproject.CallsLoggingService");
startService(i);
started = true;
updateCallsServiceStatus();
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "startService()");
}
}
private void bindCallsService() {
if (CallsLoggingConn == null) {
CallsLoggingConn = new RemoteCallsLoggingServiceConnection();
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("app.mtproject", "app.mtproject.CallsLoggingService");
bindService(i, CallsLoggingConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
updateCallsServiceStatus();
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "bindService()");
} else {
Toast.makeText(MtprojectActivity.this,
"Cannot bind - service already bound", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
private void invokeCallsService() throws RemoteException {
if (CallsLoggingConn == null) {
Toast.makeText(MtprojectActivity.this,
"Cannot invoke - service not bound", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
callsLoggingService.dumpCallsLog();
TextView t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.notApplicable);
t.setText("It worked!");
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "invokeService()");
}
}
class RemoteCallsLoggingServiceConnection implements ServiceConnection {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder boundService) {
callsLoggingService = IMyRemoteCallsLoggingService.Stub
.asInterface((IBinder) boundService);
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "onServiceConnected()");
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
callsLoggingService = null;
updateCallsServiceStatus();
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "onServiceDisconnected");
}
};
I get a NullPointerException right on callsLoggingService.dumpCallsLog() in the invokeCallsService() method, and I'm not sure what's the problem!
Here's the code of the service:
public class CallsLoggingService extends Service {
String date, duration, type;
private Handler serviceHandler;
private Task myTask = new Task();
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "onBind()");
return myRemoteCallsServiceStub;
}

}
};
#Override

serviceHandler.removeCallbacks(myTask);
serviceHandler = null;

serviceHandler = new Handler();
serviceHandler.postDelayed(myTask, 10L);
Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "onStart()");
}
class Task implements Runnable {
public void run() {
try {
myRemoteCallsServiceStub.dumpCallsLog();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
serviceHandler.postDelayed(this, 86400000L);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Calling the dumpCallsLog");
}
}
private synchronized void dumpCallsLog() {
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
String columns[] = new String[] { CallLog.Calls.DATE,
CallLog.Calls.DURATION, CallLog.Calls.TYPE };
Uri mContacts = CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI;
Cursor c = cr.query(mContacts, columns, // Which columns to return
null, // WHERE clause; which rows to return(all rows)
null, // WHERE clause selection arguments (none)
CallLog.Calls.DEFAULT_SORT_ORDER // Order-by clause
// (ascending
// by name)
);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
// Get the field values
date = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DATE));
duration = c
.getString(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DURATION));
type = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.TYPE));
} while (c.moveToNext());
}
}
}
Thanks a lot everybody for the help!

bindService() is asynchronous. You cannot use callsLoggingService until onServiceConnected() is called.

When running my Android App in the Eclipse Debugger, I have a service that notifies. Outside of the debugger it does not send a notification

I'm making an app that sends a notification to the status bar, it sends the notification when stepping through the code in the debugger, however it never sends the notification when run in realtime.
