android-service

I'm trying to work out if bound service is appropriate for doing background work in my app. The requirements are that various application components can make web requests through it of varying priority. (Thus the service must maintain some sort of queue and be able to cancel it's ongoing requests for others of higher priority). I'd like the service to be relatively unobtrusive to the user such that they don't find it running after they are done with the application - if I want to do something more important that continues while the application is closed I can use startForeground() to push a

I been struggling a lot thinking about where to place Android Services in the new Android recommended Architecture . I came up with many possible solutions, but I cannot make up my mind about which one is the best approach. I did a lot of research, and I couldn't find any useful guideline nor tutorial. The only hint I found about where to place the Service in my app architecture is this one, from @JoseAlcerreca Medium post Ideally, ViewModels shouldn’t know anything about Android. This improves testability, leak safety and modularity. A general rule of thumb is to make sure there are no

I am writing an Android application that interfaces with a RESTful service. This web service essentially fronts a file system, and provides metadata as well CRUD access to the files. My application retrieves the metadata, and exposes it to 3rd party apps through a ContentProvider . I need to add the ability for 3rd party applications, running on the same device as my app, to CRUD the actual files by making requests to/from my app (not directly with the server). This means they need to either send or receive the contents of the files (which are typically XML or images) through my app. I have

I want to start service from fragment from a list view item. I am trying to call service with: startService(new Intent(getActivity(),myPlayService.class)); But it wont work at all. How do i call my service from fragments? Is there any another way to start service? Replace startService(new Intent(getActivity(),myPlayService.class)); with getActivity().startService(new Intent(getActivity(),myPlayService.class)); 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13007355/how-to-start-service-from-fragments

TL;DR How can I make a notification that does some work from the lock-screen without unlocking? After clicking an action, a button on the notification or just the complete notification, I want to do an API call (without typing my unlock code) Details Goal Based on the answer on this question I tried to make a notification with an action that works on the lockscreen without unlocking the device. The action is something that doesn't need any further interface or interaction (think 'send an API request'). Status The notification and click do work with an unlocked device. However, when locked I

After watching the very known video on this topic I decided to go with design pattern B. Using a contentprovider with servicehelper. Basically I have the following files: MyProvider MyDatabase Mycontract In the activity I can now get the contentresolver and query the provider. All is working great so far. Now I need to sync my contentprovider to fetch data from my REST API. Thus I need to implement a service helper service and Rest method. Studying the Google IO app has helped me a lot, I'm a novice with Android so it's still hard to figure it out. I see Google uses RemoteHandlers to process

My app uses a pattern where I start a service with Context#startService() as well as bind to it with Context#bindService() . This is so that I can control the lifetime of the service independently from whether any clients are currently bound to it. However, I noticed recently that whenever my app is killed by the system, it soon restarts any services that were running. At this point the service will never be told to stop, and this is causing battery drain whenever it happens. Here's a minimal example: I found someone with a similar issue here , but it wasn't ever diagnosed or solved. Service:
