How to stop IntentService Android

I have build an IntentService in Android.
So if I received a pushNotification message, I muse stopped this service.

}
To stop the service I m using this code:
Intent i = new Intent(this, DosimeterDataSensingService.class);
i.putExtra(PreferenceHandler.ACTION_STOP,PreferenceHandler.ACTION_STOP);
stopService(new Intent(this, DosimeterDataSensingService.class));
From my log I can see that the system call
super.stopSelf();
onDestroy();
method but the IntentService works always.

You need not call stopSelf() or stopService() for IntentService.
As per the description mentioned in Docs:
Because most of the started services don't need to handle multiple requests simultaneously (which can actually be a dangerous multi-threading scenario), it's best that you implement your service using the IntentService class.
The IntentService class does the following:
It creates a default worker thread that executes all of the intents that are delivered to onStartCommand(), separate from your application's main thread.
Creates a work queue that passes one intent at a time to your onHandleIntent() implementation, so you never have to worry about multi-threading.
Stops the service after all of the start requests are handled, **so you never have to call stopSelf().**
Provides a default implementation of onBind() that returns null.
Provides a default implementation of onStartCommand() that sends the intent to the work queue and then to your onHandleIntent() implementation.
If the service is still running may be some intents are running.
Hope this helps.

Updating UI from Service in Android

I have an App that Monitors room noise levels, I initially got the Code from Github, in the original code, the programmer was monitoring noise levels from Main Activity and displaying the results in textviews, but I want to monitor using a service, I have implemented everything and its working but the textviews seem to be lagging behind, lets say I make a bit of noise and the noise level reach 5, it sticks at 5 even when there is no noise in the room, but in the original app, it was so sensitive that it would go back to 0 or another value depending on the noise levels, I do not know where I have gone wrong but below is my code:
Main Activity
public class StartingPoint extends Activity {
private String volumeBars;
private String volumeLevel;
private TextView volumeBarView;
private TextView volumeLevelView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Loading...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_starting_point);
//starting Service
startService(new Intent(this, VolumeListerner.class));
volumeBarView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.volumeBars);
volumeLevelView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.volumeLevel);
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(mReceiver, new IntentFilter("UI_UPDATER"));
super.onResume();
// Sound based code
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
}
public void updateTextView() {
volumeBarView.setText(volumeBars);
volumeLevelView.setText(volumeLevel);
return;
}
private BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
volumeBars = intent.getStringExtra("VolumeBars");
volumeLevel = intent.getStringExtra("volumeLevel");
Log.d("receiver", "Got message: " + volumeBars + " : " + volumeLevel);
updateTextView();
}
};
Service:
public class VolumeListerner extends Service {
private static String volumeVisual = "";
private static int volumeToSend;
private Handler handler;
private SoundMeter mSensor;
/** interface for clients that bind */
IBinder mBinder;
/** indicates whether onRebind should be used */
boolean mAllowRebind;
/** The service is starting, due to a call to startService() */
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
soundLevelCheck();
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}
private void soundLevelCheck()
{
mSensor = new SoundMeter();
try {
mSensor.start();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Sound sensor initiated.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
handler = new Handler();
final Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Get the volume from 0 to 255 in 'int'
double volume = 10 * mSensor.getTheAmplitude() / 32768;
volumeToSend = (int) volume;
volumeVisual = "";
for( int i=0; i<volumeToSend; i++){
volumeVisual += "|";
updateUI();
}
handler.postDelayed(this, 250); // amount of delay between every cycle of volume level detection + sending the data out
}
};
// Is this line necessary? --- YES IT IS, or else the loop never runs
// this tells Java to run "r"
handler.postDelayed(r, 250);
}
private void updateUI()
{
Intent intent = new Intent( "UI_UPDATER" );
intent.putExtra("VolumeBars", "Volume Bars: " + String.valueOf(volumeVisual));
intent.putExtra("volumeLevel","Volume Levels: " + String.valueOf(volumeToSend));
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent);
}

I recommmand you to use an enhanced event bus with emphasis on Android support. you have a choice between :
1- Otto
2- Event Bus

is it possible to quit looper in onReceive method in BroadcastReceiver

found a way by storing a handle to the looper in a static variable. view below.
declare the variable
public static Handler looperHandle;
set the variable after preparing looper
Looper.prepare();
looperHandle = new Handler();
since i had instantiated the class in an object i just called
object.looperHandle.getLooper().quit();
am not comfortable with this solution because of using a static variable.
if someone has a better solution please post it here.

How to communicate with HostApduService from an Activity

I have asked this question here but it was marked as duplicate -
however I didn't find any solution helpful mentioned in comments.
Here, I am asking again with more details ...
I am doing a sample app (PoC) on HCE and using HostApduService as per Android user guide. I have created two apps
1) ReaderApp - acting as card reader
2) HCEApp - emulating a card
In HCEApp, I have created a class 'MyService' extending HostApduService
public class MyService extends HostApduService {
private int messageCounter;
private final String TAG = "MyService";
Intent mIntent;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.i(TAG, "onCreate");
mIntent = new Intent(this, MyActivity.class);
mIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(mIntent);
}
/**
* returned bytes will be sent as response. This method runs in Main thread
* so return ASAP.
*/
#Override
public byte[] processCommandApdu(byte[] apdu, Bundle extras) {
if (selectAidApdu(apdu)) {
Log.i(TAG, "Application selected");
return getWelcomeMessage();
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "Received: " + new String(apdu));
return getNextMessage();
}
}
private byte[] getWelcomeMessage() {
return "Hello Desktop!".getBytes();
}
private byte[] getNextMessage() {
return ("Message from android: " + messageCounter++).getBytes();
}
private boolean selectAidApdu(byte[] apdu) {
if (apdu != null) {
for (byte b : apdu) {
System.out.printf("0x%02X", b);
}
}
return apdu.length >= 2 && apdu[0] == (byte) 0
&& apdu[1] == (byte) 0xa4;
}
#Override
public void onDeactivated(int reason) {
Log.i(TAG, "Deactivated: " + reason);
}
#Override
public boolean onUnbind(Intent intent) {
return super.onUnbind(intent);
}
}
As you can see in onCreate(), I am launching MyActivity provides user to enter some information and needs to be sent back to MyService.
I think I can not use binding as 'onBind()' is declared final in HostApduService as below
#Override
public final IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mMessenger.getBinder();
}
Please let me know if I am understading it correctly. Appreciate any help.
Thanks
iuq

Whether you can use onBind or not I do not know, but I recently worked with a BroadcastReceiver from which I had to start a Service. You cannot bind a Service from a BroadcastReceiver according to docs, you can only start it. I needed to send some data to the Service from my BroadcastReceiver at some later point, and since the binder techniques was not available to me, I had to find a different way to communicate with the Service, much like your case where you don't have a reference to it.
I did some research but could not find any solution, but then I remembered that you can pass intent data with the startService(intent) call. I start my Service work in onCreate instead, as onCreate is only called once when the Service is created.
In your Activity
public void sendDataToService(){
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
intent.putExtra("message", SOME_DATA);
context.startService(intent);
}
In your Service
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// Check if intent has extras
if(intent.getExtras() != null){
// Get message
int message = intent.getExtras().getInt("message");
}
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
This may be some sort what of a hack since "startService" does not sound like it should be used to send messages, and am not sure if this is exactly what you need, but it worked for me, so I hope it works for you. Cheers
Edit: BTW. I use it to tell a LocationService that a particular activity no longer want location updates.

I ended up taking a different approach to solving this same problem. When I bind to my HostApduService subclass, I grab a handle to the Messenger interface returned by the HostApduService onBind implementation.
Here's some sample code. This would all go in your activity implementation (calling it MyActivity here, communicating with MyHostApduServiceSubclass). Here's what MyActivity would need to include:
private Messenger mAPDUMessenger;
...
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Context context = getApplicationContext();
Intent apduIntent = new Intent(montext, ContactlessApduService.class);
context.bindService(apduIntent, mAPDUConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
...
private ServiceConnection mAPDUConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
// The HostApduService has a final override on the onBind() service method that returns
// an IMessageHandler interface that we can grab and use to send messages back to the
// terminal - would be better to get a handle to the running instance of the service so
// that we could make use of the HostApduService#sendResponseApdu public method
mAPDUMessenger = new Messenger(service);
registerAPDUMessengerIntentFilters();
// ^ This method sets up my handlers for local broadcast messages my BroadcastReceiver processes.
}
...
}
...
private void registerAPDUMessengerIntentFilters() {
LocalBroadcastManager lbm = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(MyActivity.this);
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(MyHostApduServiceSubclass.ACTION_PPSE_APDU_SELECT);
lbm.registerReceiver(apduMessageBroadcastReceiver, intentFilter);
}
...
BroadcastReceiver apduMessageBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(MyHostApduServiceSubclass.ACTION_PPSE_APDU_SELECT)) {
sendResponseApdu(MyActivity.PPSE_APDU_SELECT_RESPONSE_BYTES);
}
}
};
...
public final void sendResponseApdu(byte[] responseApdu) {
Message responseMsg = Message.obtain(null, MyHostApduServiceSubclass.MSG_RESPONSE_APDU);
// ^ Note here that because MSG_RESPONSE_APDU is the message type
// defined in the abstract HostApduService class, I had to override
// the definition in my subclass to expose it for use from MyActivity.
// Same with the KEY_DATA constant value below.
Bundle dataBundle = new Bundle();
dataBundle.putByteArray(MyHostApduServiceSubclass.KEY_DATA, responseApdu);
responseMsg.setData(dataBundle);
try {
mAPDUMessenger.send(responseMsg);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// Do something with the failed message
}
}
And then your HostApduService subclass would just need to send a broadcast to your activity indicating what APDU command was received. Here is what would need to be included in MyHostApduServiceSubclass:
public static final String ACTION_PPSE_APDU_SELECT = "ACTION_PPSE_APDU_SELECT";
// Abstract super class constant overrides
public static final String KEY_DATA = "data";
public static final int MSG_RESPONSE_APDU = 1;
#Override
public byte[] processCommandApdu(byte[] commandApdu, Bundle extras) {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
LocalBroadcastManager lbm = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context);
if (Arrays.equals(MyHostApduServiceSubclass.PPSE_APDU_SELECT_BYTES, commandApdu)) {
lbm.sendBroadcast(new Intent(ACTION_PPSE_APDU_SELECT));
}
return null;
// ^ Note the need to return null so that the other end waits for the
// activity to send the response via the Messenger handle
}

onServiceConnected sometimes not called after bindService on some devices

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.
