My service shutsdown when acticty exits and unbinds to it, would like it to keep running

I'm trying to creat a bacckground service that will have a thread that adds one to a counter every minute.
I want other apps to be able to call a methed call getBot that will retunt the value.
Right now I have a test app that has a activty that bindss to the app so it can talk to it to get the counter. When it exits it unbounds to it.
It has a button called botGert that gets the current counter value from the service.
When it unbounds to it, the service shuts down. How can I get it so it does not shut down????

From Android Documentation:
When the last client unbinds from the service, the system destroys the service, unless the service was also started by startService().
So, all you have to do is call this in your onCreate() method in the Service:
startService(new Intent(this, MessengerService.class))
Of course make sure to call stopSelf() when you are done with the service.

Android doesn't kill bound service

I am creating bound service for socket connection.Which means it is creating a long polling connection and listens my server.If user closes the app in task manager my service is killing i have no problem with this.But when user presses the back button I am calling activity.finish() method for close app.But with this method my service doesn't kill,it is still connected to socket server.
Is this normal ? And Could be this drain the battery ?
My service:
public class SocketService extends Service {
//you need constants to tell servise and activity what you are sending a message for
public static final int REGISTER_CHAT_ACTIVITY = 1;
public static final int MESSAGE_RECEIVED = 2;
final Messenger mMessenger = new Messenger(new IncomingHandler());
Messenger chat;
private Socket socket;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
try {
socket = IO.socket("ip");
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
#Override
public void call(Object... args) {
}
}).on("connected", new Emitter.Listener() {
#Override
public void call(Object... args) {
}
}).on("message", new Emitter.Listener() {
#Override
public void call(Object... args) {
try {
chat.send(android.os.Message.obtain(null, MESSAGE_RECEIVED, args[0]));
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
//and add all the other on listeners here
socket.connect();
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
if (socket != null) {
socket.disconnect();
socket.connect();
} else {
try {
socket = IO.socket("ip");
socket.connect();
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mMessenger.getBinder();
}
class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
switch(msg.what){
case REGISTER_CHAT_ACTIVITY:
chat = msg.replyTo;
break;
}
}
}
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
SocketService getService() {
return SocketService.this;
}
}
}

I had something similar a while ago i solved the issue by using shared preferences.(Note: I dont think it's the best answer but it solved my problem)
I saved in preferences a boolean to register when i dont need the service anymore but lost reference of it.
public class YourService extends Service {
private YourService serv;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate();
serv = this;
Then Somehwere on your code that the service does frequently.
if(!sharedPref.getBoolean("TurnOffService", false)){
serv.stopSelf();
}
Hope it helps.

Send Data from Service To Activity Android

I am building a music player that uses a service for playback. I have an Activity UI that controls (play, pause, next, ...) the service.
I want to update the UI from my service when the next or previous button is pressed. I thought of passing an integer value. Here is my code:
I have used a messenger for communication. The code in my service looks like:
enum Event {
NextSongChanged, CurrentPlayingSong
};
public synchronized void registerHandler(Messenger m) {
clients.add(m);
}
private void emit(Event e) {
for (Messenger m : clients) {
try {
m.send(Message.obtain(null, e.ordinal()));
} catch (RemoteException exception) {
/* The client must've died */
clients.remove(m);
}
}
}
My method that I am calling on click of next button:
public synchronized void playnext() {
reset();
if(songIndex < (songsList.size() - 1)) {
songIndex += 1;
playSong(songIndex);
} else {
songIndex = 0;
playSong(songIndex);
}
emit(Event.NextSongChanged);
}
As soon as I fire the NextSongChanged event I want to pass the "songIndex" variable into my activity. Any idea on how to achieve this?
My Activity code to handle the event:
private Messenger playerMessenger = new Messenger(new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
switch (MyService.Event.values()[msg.what]) {
case NextSongChanged:
//String songTitle = songsList.get(currentSongIndex+1).get("songTitle");
//currentSongIndex += 1;
//songTitleLabel.setText(songTitle);
//updatePlaying();
break;
case CurrentPlayingSong:
break;
}
}
});

Sample code hope will help others
1. Set Handler (to receive message) and Messenger (to communicate) MainActivity.java
Messenger msgService;
boolean isBound;
ServiceConnection connection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) { isBound = false; }
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
isBound = true;
msgService = new Messenger(service);
}
};
public void sendMessage(View view) {
if (isBound) {
try {
Message message = Message.obtain(null, MessangerService.MESSAGE, 1, 1);
message.replyTo = replyMessenger;
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("rec", "Hi, you hear me");
message.setData(bundle);
msgService.send(message); //sending message to service
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
//setting reply messenger and handler
Messenger replyMessenger = new Messenger(new HandlerReplyMsg());
class HandlerReplyMsg extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
super.handleMessage(msg);
String recdMessage = msg.obj.toString(); //msg received from service
toast(recdMessage);
}
}
2. Setup service class MessengerService.java
Messenger replyMessanger;
final static int MESSAGE = 1;
class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (msg.what == MESSAGE) {
Bundle bundle = msg.getData();
toast(bundle.getString("rec"));//message received
replyMessanger = msg.replyTo; //init reply messenger
doSomething();
}
}
}
private void doSomething() {
// do stuff
if (replyMessanger != null)
try {
Message message = new Message();
message.obj = "Yes loud and clear";
replyMessanger.send(message);//replying / sending msg to activity
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Messenger messenger = new Messenger(new IncomingHandler());
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return messenger.getBinder();
}
Make sure you declared Service in manifest and binding/unbinding Service in activity.

Android Service exits leaving imp. data open

I am facing a grave problem. Inside a service I am opening Wifi connection and closing it after my task completes. Since, a service exits at any point i face a problem wherein the connection opens and remains open.
Is there a way i can handle this as i am using START_STICKY or i will have to handle it programmatically only?
EDIT : Can i share my intent information across couple of receivers (BroadcastReceiver). For example, I will write another receiver for action android.net.wifi.wifi_state_changed and my existing receiver is for android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE.
IF that can be achieved i can do something about it.
EDIT2 : My code is as follows:
public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "CallReceiver";
private static final String CALL_ACTION = "android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent callIntent)
{
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "----------------Inside onReceive of CallReceiver----------------");
if (callIntent.getAction().equals(CALL_ACTION))
{
try
{
Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(myIntent);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(LOG_TAG,"----------------Exception occured while starting service----------------");
}
}
}
}
public class MyService extends Service {
private Context context;
private static final String LOG_TAG = "MyService";
private Thread thread = null;
public MyService()
{
super();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "----------------Inside Email Service constructor----------------");
}
public int onStartCommand(Intent myIntent, int flags, int startId)
{
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "----------------Email Service Command Started----------------");
try
{
context = getApplicationContext();
if(thread == null || !thread.isAlive())
{
thread = new Thread(new MyRunnable("Email Sender", myIntent));
thread.start();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(LOG_TAG,
"----------------Exception occured in Email Service onStartCommand----------------");
}
return START_REDELIVER_INTENT;
}
class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
String name;
Intent myIntent;
public MyRunnable(String name, Intent myIntent) {
this.name = name;
this.myIntent = myIntent;
}
#Override
public void run()
{
try
{
doStuff(emailIntent);
}
catch (NumberFormatException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, e.getMessage());
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, e.getMessage());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, e.getMessage());
}
finally
{
stopSelf();
}
}
}
private void doStuff(Intent emailIntent) throws InterruptedException, Exception
{
if (context != null)
{
boolean isWifiConnection = false;
try
{
// Check if WiFi connection is available ,if yes try opening it;
// Attempt to open WiFi connection
isWifiConnection = Utility.isEnableWifiSuccessful(getApplicationContext());
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "----------------Wifi conn enabled = " + isWifiConnection
+ "----------------");
if (isWifiConnection)
{
// Do more stuff
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
throw e;
}
finally
{
// Code never reaches here !! Somehow, the service stops and by
// the time the service stops,
// WiFi has been enabled
try
{
if (isWifiConnection)
{
Utility.isDisableWifiSuccessful(getApplicationContext());
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(LOG_TAG,
"----------------Error occured while closing network connections----------------");
}
}
}
else
{
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "----------------Context is null----------------");
}
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
Now, if i have another receiver as NetworkReceiver
public class NetworkReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String ACTION = "android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED";
private static final String LOG_TAG = "NetworkReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent networkIntent)
{
if(networkIntent.getAction().equals(ACTION))
{
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "----------------Inside Network Receiver----------------");
//Do something which will keep track who has opened the WiFi connection
}
}
}
then can myIntent and networkIntent share information and can MySerivce read that information.
Any help would be really grateful.

Service exits when the memory is too low, since you are already using START_STICKY, the service will be restarted once the memory resources are available. I beleive you might need to check if the connection is opened and you are done with the task, then you have stop the service by using stopSelf().
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ramesh
