android-service

I have a background Service which starts an activity, Intent i = new Intent(this, MyActivity.class); i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(i); After destroying this Activity and restart it over the "long press home key menu", this Activity starts again. But I want to start the main activity instead. How could I realise this? Could you explain in more detail? If I understand your problem try setting the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY. Alternatively a manual solution would be to check the FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY on the intent in MyActivity and launch to the main activity

Im getting an "java.lang.IllegalAccessError class ref in preverified class resolved to unexpected implementation" error when I push a button that starts a method in MainActivity which is supposed to start a new Activity. What can I do to fix this? This is my first attempt to make an android application, so ill need step by step instructions :) Also I havent been able to test if it works yet, but if you notice anything wrong with my AugiActivity service implementation or the local broadcast implementation feel free to let me know. Thanks! fyi: MainActivity starts Navigation Activity, which

My main requirement would be to have a service having its own process and trigger its own geofencing event. I'd like the user to be notified from the notification center when he enters a geofence, even if the app is killed. I read about services and this seems pretty clear to me, the Android documentation is dense so I managed to understand how to start a service with its own process, and also how it is able to communicate with the app using Messenger. Then there is this code sample from Google showing how to use geofencing with google play services: Google samples geofencing What I found so

I'm trying to create a simple program that does the following: A service (NewsService) started by my activity (UpdateServiceActivity) checks for news. If news are found (NewsService) sends a broadcast to a receiver (NewsReceiver). Upon receiving the broadcast the receiver (NewsReceiver) should notify the activity (UpdateServiceActivity) that there are news. Upon notification, the activity (UpdateServiceActivity) gets the news and handles them. So far I'm just working on a simple example. Here is my code so far: UpdateServiceActivity public class UpdateServiceActivity extends 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() {

I'm trying to take a screenshot using a background service. This service is like a Facebook chathead, but I want it to take an screenshot when I do a click. Preview Picture I've developed some code but it doesn't work. The last I've tried was: private void takeScreenshot() { Date now = new Date(); android.text.format.DateFormat.format("yyyy-MM-dd_hh:mm:ss", now); // image naming and path to include sd card appending name you choose for file String mPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/capture/" + now + ".jpg"; // create bitmap screen capture Bitmap bitmap; View v1 =

For communicating between the application and a Service, why would I use a Bound service rather than sending data in the Intent: mServiceIntent = new Intent(getActivity(), RSSPullService.class); mServiceIntent.setData(Uri.parse(dataUrl)); I read that "If the service is already running, it will be called with onStartCommand() again, to deliver the new Intent, but a second copy is not created." Which means that I Could send messages in that intent to affect the service's progress, this is what is done in the google RandomMusicPlayer example: public void onClick(View target) { // Send the correct
