Android - Application has to run in background

Android - Application has to run in background - android

I want My Application has to run in a background. The Application is majorly meant for sending push notification based on IBeacons i.e low-power Bluetooth technology given by Apple.
This is good My Application able to get the notification but it should be in open mode(App should be open). But I want My application has to run in the background like whenever a user enters into the IBeacon proximity range it internally has to get the notification.

We can use Broadcast receivers for background app running but for this how we will implement for this example.

Unfortunately you've built everything around Asynctasks and activities which will not suite your goal. You want to look up services.
Once you've moved your logic to a service, then you'll want to start/stop that service based on broadcast receivers or a persistent notification. Then your Activity can bind to your services to get more information from them if you want or you can use other forms of service->activity communication like broadcasts.
Note that this will likely be a battery drainer so you'll want to provide your users the ability to turn it off or at least opt in/out.

Starting on Android 11 AsyncTask objects shares a single thread. So your service is blocking that thread, and the fragments can't run. The easiest solution is pretty obvious here, don't use AsyncTask for the service. It doesn't even make sense to use it there because AsyncTask is meant to deliver results back on the UI thread, something your service doesn't need to do. Here is a possible solution:
public class MyService extends Service implements Runnable {
private HandlerThread = ht;
private Handler handler;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
try {
session = new SessionManagement(getApplication());
user = session.getUserDetails();
id_datos_usuarios_session = user.get(SessionManagement.KEY_ID_DATOS_USUARIOS).toString();
}catch (Exception e){
InitializeNotificationManager = false;
}
ht = new HandlerThread("MyService");
ht.start();
handler = new Handler(ht.getLooper());
handler.post(this);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
handler.removeCallbacks(this);
ht.quit();
ht = null;
handler = null;
}
#Override
public void run(){
if(isNetworkStatusAvialable (getApplication())) {
accessWebService();
}
handler.postDelayed(20000, this);
}
}

How to make notification appear only in top?

So I have this code
public class notif extends Activity {
private static final int NOTIFY_ME_ID=1337;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final NotificationManager mgr=(NotificationManager)this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification note=new Notification(R.drawable.icon,"New Problem ",System.currentTimeMillis());
note.flags|=Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
PendingIntent i=PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,new Intent(this,list.class), 0);
note.setLatestEventInfo(this,"Problem Occured","Click to see the problem",i);
mgr.notify(NOTIFY_ME_ID,note);
}
This code is about making notifications but i want it to just appear on my notification on top an not opening any page at first so it's like the notification can appear in the main menu without opening any page at first like.the sms notification that appear on top only without having to see the entire sms until we click the notification so can someone help me with this? :)

Create a class NotificationAlert and paste the code below there:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class NotificationAlert extends Activity {
private static final int NOTIFY_ME_ID=1337;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.notification_alert);
/*********** Create notification ***********/
final NotificationManager mgr=
(NotificationManager)this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification note=new Notification(R.drawable.stat_notify_chat,
"Android Example Status message!",
System.currentTimeMillis());
// This pending intent will open after notification click
PendingIntent i=PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
new Intent(this, NotifyMessage.class),
0);
note.setLatestEventInfo(this, "Android Example Notification Title",
"This is the android example notification message", i);
//After uncomment this line you will see number of notification arrived
//note.number=2;
mgr.notify(NOTIFY_ME_ID, note);
}
}
Create a class NotifyMessage and paste the code below there:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class NotifyMessage extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TextView txt=new TextView(this);
txt.setText("Activity after click on notification");
setContentView(txt);
}
}

I think I know now that i have to use service and this is the code for making that service hope it helps other

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

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;

#Override

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:

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.

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.
Here is my runnable that generates the notification, again when stepping through this code in the debugger the notification runs however in realtime nothing happens.

Race conditions, I'm making an HTTP Request and then handing it off to a handler, immediately following that I iterator through the array list, which at full speed is empty because the HTTP hasn't completed. In debugging it all slows down so the HTTP is complete and all works well.
Threads and Network Connections, a deadly combination.
