The AWS Android SDK for S3 includes classes for data transfers. Namely, the TransferUtility . The TransferUtility seems to create a service for its own use. Is it possible to use it from a service and in particular set the transfer listener and use it to send updates to application or create notifications from within said service? Yes it's possible to start a service from another service. TransferUtility may fail to work if its Amazon S3 client gets garbage collected before TransferService gets it. Normally an object is passed as a parcelable in an intent between components. However it's quite

I’m developing an Air mobile application for Android which uses Air Native Extensions (ANE). From the ANE I call a function that creates a Pending Intent which is passed to a Notification. Next, the native function starts a service and passes it the Pending Intent and the Notification. Here’s the code for that part: public class StartServiceFunction implements FREFunction { @Override public FREObject call(FREContext context, FREObject[] args) { Log.d("MyApplicationStartServiceFunction", "call(StartService)"); Context applicationContext = context.getActivity().getApplicationContext(); try {

I am using PubNub API to get real time messages. I have implemented code to subscribe to my channel and receive ongoing messages. I just want these messages to receive in background even if my application is not open. I have learned about services and broadcast receiver in android but I am not understanding the how to use this with PubNub. Is there any proper way to achieve this? PubNub Subscribe Code public static final String GLOBAL_CHANNEL = "NAME_OF_MY_CHANNEL"; public void subscribe() { Callback callback = new Callback() { @Override public void connectCallback(String channel, Object

Edit Adding this line in my manifest solved my problem (the Service is well created). <service android:name=".TimersService" > Post I'm currently trying to implement alarms to notify the user that a countdown has finished. I have a method createAlarm() that adds a new Alarm through an AlarmManager . This method is currently called inside a Fragment. It looks like this: private final void createAlarm(String name, long milliInFuture) { Intent myIntent = new Intent(getActivity().getApplication(), TimersService.class); AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getActivity() .getSystemService

I had read quite a number of resources regarding the Service and IntentService . However when come to make a decision, I am not confident enough to choose which type to use in order to create a background service that will poll data from database in a time interval and stop it when I get the data I want since the data represent a status of a request, eg. ordering medicine confirmation status(pending, completed, in progress). I need to detect when a status is set to "completed" and send a notification to alert the user that the order is completed. After that the service will stop itself

We bind to our local service (same process) in Application subclass but sometimes we are getting a ClassCastException. I have no idea how to fix it since everyone says the exception occurs if the service process is different than your application. How can this be fixed? Application subclass: public class App extends Application implements ServiceConnection { private ServiceApi exposedServiceApi; private EventBus eventBus; @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); bindToService(); } public void bindToService() { if (isConnectedToService()) { return; } boolean successfulBindCall =
