According to this blog post and the documentation of onStartCommand() if you have a Service you should implement onStart() and onStartCommand() and in 2.0 and higher only onStartCommand() will be called. It seems that this is not the case and in my Service BOTH are being called. This was a problem as it was trying to do the work twice, so I had to add a check in onStart() to not do anything if the OS version was < 2.0. This seems like a hack and a bug. Anyone else experience this or do I maybe have something wrong? I cut and pasted the code right from the sample. @Override public int

I'm trying to restart service from itself in a few time. My code looks like this (inside the onStartCommand(...) ) Looper.prepare(); Handler handler = new Handler(); handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { Intent intent = new Intent(BackgroundService.this, BackgroundService.class); startService(intent); } }, 3 * 60000); Service is running in the foreground while this code executes, but it doesn't seem to call onStartCommand(...) . Is there any other way to restart service from itself in a few time? UPD: I've found out that it actually restarts service, but not in a

Excuse me for such an elementary question. I understand that the Application class is instantiated when my app's process starts and I understand when the phone is completed booting my boot receiver will be called. I'm assuming since the phone knows via the manifest that my app holds BOOT_COMPLETED intent filter, the reboot process is. Phone reboots, phone starts all processes with BOOT_COMPLETED, phone fires off BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast. My concern came from wondering if I reference Application class instance variables within my boot receiver if the receiver would ever get called before my

In android chrome browser with some singnup textfield its working but not for all textfields. @Override public void onAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) { AccessibilityNodeInfo source = event.getSource(); if (source != null && ( event.getEventType() == AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED ) ) { // || event.getEventType() == AccessibilityEvent

I have an IntentService that uploads a file. Everything works fine, but I'm a little confused about how to handle the notifications. When I start the notification I use startForeground() because the files can be rather large and I don't want the upload to get killed unless absolutely necessary. When I use startForeground() it displays two notifications in the notification area (one under Ongoing and one under Notifications): I've read through a number of different Stack Overflow posts and web articles, but none of them answer the question I have...hopefully I haven't missed one that talks
