auto call AsyncTask - android

I have this code, I have 2 AsyncTask I called that by button, and I have one more I want to ask is there any way to call the Asynctask automatic when is open the activity?
I tried to but it with onCreate but it is error
public class SingleCompleteOrder extends ActionBarActivity {
private static final String comp_id = "complete_id";
private static final String comp_table = "complete_table";
private static final String comp_items = "complete_items";
private static final String comp_date = "complete_date";
private TextView oid;
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
onBackPressed();
break;
default:
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_single_contact);
...
...
...
...
...
}
public void huss() {
Updatsituation task = new Updatsituation ();
task.execute();
}
private class Updatsituation extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Boolean> {
private ProgressDialog pd;
private Boolean result = false;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(SingleCompleteOrder.this);
pd.setMessage("Processing commend,Please wait");
pd.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.show();
}
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(Utils.WS_UPDATE_SITUAT);
List<NameValuePair> mParams = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
mParams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("complete_id", oid.getText().toString()));
mParams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("order_situation","showed"));
try {
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(mParams));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
String res = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
Log.d("Order Preview", res);
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(res);
result = jsonObj.getBoolean("Result");
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean res) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostExecute(res);
if (pd != null)
pd.dismiss();
if (res) {
Toast.makeText(SingleCompleteOrder.this,
"Order Completed Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
finish();
Intent intent = new Intent(SingleCompleteOrder.this,
CompleteOrdertest.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
Toast.makeText(SingleCompleteOrder.this,
"Unable to process the command", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
}
}

If you want to run the Async task for when the Activity is created you can do this in your OnCreate method. or if you want to execute this every time the Activity come to visibility, you can run this in onResume method.
I do not see you are calling your huss() method in any of your OnCreate or OnResume methods.
EDIT: Try this:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_single_contact);
huss();
...
...
...
...
...
}

If you want to call your AsyncTask, simply do the following within your onCreate() method of the Activity:
#Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// All lines of code
new Updatsituation().execute();
}
This should fire up the task without you having to click any button.
You can put it inside onResume() but then be prepared to have it start everytime your activity resumes.

If you want to call AsyncTask automatically, then you need to call it on OnCreate() method.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
new Updatsituation().execute(); //call your async task
}

In my Android apk, ANSYNC TASK method is not working

In my Android apk, I am using async task method.
It was working fine from last many years but now it is creating problem.

here in the logcat the last line shows that its call the onstartcommand method again. Why is it so? Even my Activity is not running I meant to say (the service starts in oncreate method on on acticity, but here in the logcat the control goes directly to the onStartCommand when i destroy my App ).
Your service will be START_STICKY so the android framework is restarting it -> This will give you call to onStartCommand()
I changed my service to START_NOT_STICKY so the android framework will not restart my service on its own without any explicit request from out application
To make your service of START_NOT_STICKY, just return value Service.START_NOT_STICKY from onStartCommand()
This worked and solved my issue

ProgressDialog doesn't appear when calling a thread inside AsyncTask

I have an app that sends a file through a socket. While doing this I want to show the progress in a ProgressDialog. The app sends the file perfectly but I'm not able to make the dialog appear.
public class ProgressDialogActivity extends Activity {
private ProgressDialog downloadDialog = null;
private String filePath;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
filePath = getIntent().getExtras().getString("filePath");
downloadDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
Task myTask = new Task();
myTask.execute(0);
}
private void showMessage(final String msg) {
this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), msg, `enter code here`Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
private class Task extends AsyncTask<Integer, Integer, Boolean> implements Observer
{
private Thread t;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPreExecute();
downloadDialog.setTitle("SENDING");
downloadDialog.setMessage("................");
downloadDialog.setCancelable(false);
downloadDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
// downloadDialog.setMax(100);
downloadDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
downloadDialog.show();
}
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(Integer... params) {
SendFile send = new SendFile(filePath);
downloadDialog.setMax(0);
t = new Thread(send);
send.registerObserver(this);
// try {
// Thread.sleep(10000);
// } catch (InterruptedException e) {
// // TODO Auto-generated catch block
// e.printStackTrace();
// }
t.start();
return true;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
int counter = values[0].intValue();
downloadDialog.setProgress(counter);
if(filePath != null)
{
downloadDialog.setMessage(filePath+"...");
}
}
#Override
public void update(Subject subject) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(subject instanceof SendFile)
{
SendFile e = (SendFile) subject;
if(e.getException() != null)
{
t.interrupt();
showMessage(e.getException());
} else
{
if(!e.isStarted())
{
initializeProgressBar(e.getNumIter());
} else
{
refreshProgressBar(e.getNumIter());
}
if(e.isSent())
{
t.interrupt();
showMessage("File sent");
}
}
}
}
public void initializeProgressBar(int max){
downloadDialog.setMax(max);
}
public void refreshProgressBar(int amount){
publishProgress(downloadDialog.getMax()-amount);
}
#Override

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostExecute(result);

}

}
#Override

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
};
}
SendFile is the class that contains the socket to send the files.
I think the problem is due to I'm calling the thread inside the AssyncTask because when I make Thread.sleep(10000) I can see the ProgressDialog for that time, but I don't know how to fix it.
Also, when I run the debugger I can see that the variable 'counter' is incremented every time I call it, but if I add a watch with 'downloadDialog.getProgress()' the progress is always 0.
You are creating an AsyncTask, which doInBackground() method RUNS IN BACKGROUND. In there, you don't do anything, but start a new thread... Now this thread does the work, but your AsyncTask finishes, because it has nothing to do after starting the other thread... So, your ProgressDialog is shown for some milliseconds, then your AsyncTask finishes and the ProgressDialog is hidden again. But the thread that is doing the work is still running, only your AsyncTask has finished.
Solution : Either use an AsyncTask OR use a thread.
You need to call publishProgress on doinBackground()
Example:
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
int i = 0;
Log.i("Thread","1");
Thread.sleep(1000);
publishProgress(i++);
Log.i("Thread","2");
Thread.sleep(1000);
publishProgress(i++);
Log.i("Thread","3");
Thread.sleep(1000);
Log.i("Thread","4");
Thread.sleep(1000);
Log.i("Thread","5");
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "done";
}

I am running app using Emulator.Is it possible to run this problem in emulator,because writing to external directory
Can anyone help me?
Use
public DownloadService() {
super("DownloadService");
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
Instead of
public DownloadService(String name) {
super("DownloadService");
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
UPDATE:
You have to declare a default constructor which calls the public IntentService (String name) super constructor of the IntentService class you extend. ie. In simple words, you need to provide no-argument constuctor for your service ,without which android wont be able to instantiate your service.
you start the intentservice using startService(your_intent); And as per the documentation
You should not override onStartCommand() method for your
IntentService. Instead, override onHandleIntent(Intent), which the
system calls when the IntentService receives a start request.

progress dialog displays after task is finished in asynctask

Hi i want to display progressdialog until a command is executed through telnet.
so i use asynctask for that purpose.
private class AsyncAction extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>
{
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostExecute(result);
try
{
telnet.connect("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX", 23);
// Get input and output stream references
in = telnet.getInputStream();
out = new PrintStream(telnet.getOutputStream());
// Log the user on
readUntil("login:");
write("jk");
readUntil("password:");
write("kk");
// Advance to a prompt
readUntil(prompt + "");
write("ping -t localhost\n");
readUntil(">");
write("cdkk");
AlertDialog.Builder alertbox = new AlertDialog.Builder(TelSampActivity.this);
String msg="work finished!";
alertbox.setMessage(msg);
alertbox.show();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// TODO: handle exception
}
finally
{
pd.dismiss();
}
// pd.dismiss();
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(TelSampActivity.this);
pd.setMessage("loading...");
pd.setIndeterminate(true);
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.show();
}
}
And i call asynctask in oncreate() like below
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
try{
new AsyncAction().execute();
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
The problem is that i could not see progressdialog until command executes.
please help me solve the issue.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
The code to send and read command
public String readUntil(String pattern) {
try {
char lastChar = pattern.charAt(pattern.length()-1);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
boolean found = false;
char ch = (char) in.read();
while (true) {

Currently you are trying to do Network operations from onPostExecute because this method called from UI Thread . change your code as to get work in proper way
private class AsyncAction extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>
{
public static boolean status=false;
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try
{
telnet.connect("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX", 23);
// Get input and output stream references
in = telnet.getInputStream();
out = new PrintStream(telnet.getOutputStream());
// Log the user on
readUntil("login:");
write("jk");
readUntil("password:");
write("kk");
// Advance to a prompt
readUntil(prompt + "");
write("ping -t localhost\n");
readUntil(">");
write("cdkk");
// make status true or false if command successfully executed
status=true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// TODO: handle exception
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result)
{
pd.dismiss();
// check status if true then show AlertDialog
if(status==true){
AlertDialog.Builder alertbox =
new AlertDialog.Builder(TelSampActivity.this);
String msg="work finished!";
alertbox.setMessage(msg);
alertbox.show();
}
else{
// your code here
}
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPreExecute();
pd = new ProgressDialog(TelSampActivity.this);
pd.setMessage("loading...");
pd.setIndeterminate(true);
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.show();
}
}
You need to show the progress bar in onPreExecute() do the work in doInBackground() and then hide the progress bar in onPostExecute(). onPreExecute() and onPostExecute() are both executed on the main thread, where as doInBackground is executed in the background.
You are doing your work on onPostExecute() method which should be inside doInBackground()
show your progress dialog inside onPreExecute() and dismiss inside onPostExecute().
