In your concrete implementation you have to declare a default constructor which calls the public IntentService (String name) super constructor of the abstract IntentService class you extend: public MyService () { super(“MyServerOrWhatever”); } You do not need to overwrite onStartCommand if the super implementation fits for you (what I expect). In your current case you … Read more
A service started by startForeground belongs to the second most important group visible process: A visible process is doing work that the user is currently aware of, so killing it would have a noticeable negative impact on the user experience. A process is considered visible in the following conditions: It is running an Activity that … Read more
Use the below method with your package name. It will return true if any of your activities is in foreground. public boolean isForeground(String myPackage) { ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE); List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> runningTaskInfo = manager.getRunningTasks(1); ComponentName componentInfo = runningTaskInfo.get(0).topActivity; return componentInfo.getPackageName().equals(myPackage); } Update: Add Permission: <uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.GET_TASKS” />
You may run the service in the foreground using startForeground(). A foreground service is a service that’s considered to be something the user is actively aware of and thus not a candidate for the system to kill when low on memory. But bear in mind that a foreground service must provide a notification for the … Read more
Seems that this is a bug present in Android 4.4, got around it with the following: @Override public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent) { Intent restartService = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), this.getClass()); restartService.setPackage(getPackageName()); PendingIntent restartServicePI = PendingIntent.getService( getApplicationContext(), 1, restartService, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT); AlarmManager alarmService = (AlarmManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); alarmService.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() +1000, restartServicePI); } Found this answer from this post
You can access the default shared preferences instance, which is shared across all your Activity and Service classes, by calling PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(Context context): SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); This is great for storing simple primitives (like booleans) or serializable objects. However, if you’re capturing a lot of location data, you might consider using a SQLite database instead.
Just follow these scenarios, your service and processes (Threads run inside your service) will remain continuous. Create service and use START_STICKY as return value in onStartCommand method like below: @Override public int onStartCommand(final Intent intent, final int flags, final int startId) { //your code return START_STICKY; } Above code will Restart the service if destroyed … Read more
Look to this document section: Service lifecycle changes (since 1.6) updated after some investigations (have created project, run described command step by step, etc) i found that code is working exactly as described in “Service lifecycle changes” what I found: adb shell am kill com.tavianator.servicerestart kills nothing (try adb shell , then in shell am … Read more
it is really weird that camera on android platform can’t stream video until it given valid preview surface. it seems that the architects of the platform was not thinking about 3rd party video streaming applications at all. even for augmented reality case the picture can be presented as some kind of visual substitution, not real … Read more
