[Q] Can I register a listener on process state?

I'm an experienced developer but new to Android development. I have an app that runs some native binaries, and I provide a status indicator to show when the native process is running and when it's not. Currently I poll the device to figure this out, using the ActivityManager API to determine if specific processes are running or not.
I'm hoping there is some way to register a listener on process state changes, so I can get notified when my process starts or stops. I looked through the API, and there doesn't seem to be such a thing. Does anyone know how I can keep track of process start and stop other than polling via ActivityManager?

Afaik there's no way to accomplish that other than your way or being system/root app. See this similar question here for reference.

Can you show how you start the process?

Sure. Here's the class that manages starting, stopping, and statusing (running or not) the binary executable. In this case, it's the omniNames service of the omni ORB (CORBA broker).
Code:
public class RHManager {
private TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
if (RHManager.this.listener != null) {
listener.running(isOmniNamesRunning());
}
}
};
private IStatusListener listener;
public RHManager() {
}
public void startOmniNames() {
final Exec exec = new Exec();
final String[] args = new String[]
{RhMgrConstants.INSTALL_LOCATION_OMNI_NAMES_SCRIPTS + "/" + RhMgrConstants.OMNI_NAMES_SCRIPT_FILE,
"start"};
final String[] env = new String[] {"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sdcard/data/com.axiosengineering.rhmanager/omniORB/lib"};
Thread t = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
int res = exec.doExec(args, env);
logMsg("omniNames start return code " + res);
} catch (IOException e) {
logMsg("Failed to start omniNames");
e.printStackTrace();
}
String std = exec.getOutResult();
logMsg("omniNames start: std out==> " + std );
String err = exec.getErrResult();
logMsg("omniNames start: err out==> " + err );
};
};
t.start();
logMsg("omniNames started");
}
private boolean isOmniNamesRunning() {
String pid_s = getOmniNamesPid();
Integer pid = null;
if (pid_s != null) {
try {
pid = Integer.parseInt(pid_s);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
return false;
}
}
if (pid != null) {
RunningAppProcessInfo activityMgr = new ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo("omniNames", pid, null);
return activityMgr.processName != null ;
}
return false;
}
public void stopOmniNames() {
String pid = getOmniNamesPid();
android.os.Process.killProcess(Integer.parseInt(pid));
android.os.Process.sendSignal(Integer.parseInt(pid), android.os.Process.SIGNAL_KILL);
}
private String getOmniNamesPid() {
Exec exec = new Exec();
final String[] args = new String[]
{RhMgrConstants.INSTALL_LOCATION_OMNI_NAMES_SCRIPTS + "/" + RhMgrConstants.OMNI_NAMES_SCRIPT_FILE,
"pid"};
String pid = "";
try {
int res = exec.doExec(args, null);
logMsg("oniNames pid return code: " + res);
} catch (IOException e) {
logMsg("Failed to start omniNames");
e.printStackTrace();
return pid;
}
String std = exec.getOutResult();
logMsg("omniNames pid: std out ==> " + std);
String err = exec.getErrResult();
logMsg("omniNames pid: err out ==> " + err);
String[] parts = std.split("\\s+");
if (parts.length >= 2) {
pid = parts[1];
}
return pid;
}
//monitor omniNames status and report status periodically to an IStatusListener
public void startMonitorProcess(IStatusListener listener, String string) {
this.listener = listener;
Timer t = new Timer();
t.schedule(task, 0, 1000);
}
private void logMsg(String msg) {
if (RhMgrConstants.DEBUG) {
System.err.println(msg);
}
}
}
Here's the Exec class that handles invocation of Runtime#exec(), consumes std and err out, and reports those and process return status to the caller.
Code:
public class Exec {
private String outResult;
private String errResult;
private Process process;
private boolean failed = false;
StreamReader outReader;
StreamReader errReader;
public int doExec(String[] cmd, String[] envp) throws IOException{
Timer t = null;
try {
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd, envp);
outReader = new StreamReader(process.getInputStream());
outReader.setPriority(10);
errReader = new StreamReader(process.getErrorStream());
outReader.start();
errReader.start();
t = new Timer();
t.schedule(task, 10000);
int status = process.waitFor();
outReader.join();
errReader.join();
StringWriter outWriter = outReader.getResult();
outResult = outWriter.toString();
outWriter.close();
StringWriter errWriter = errReader.getResult();
errResult = errWriter.toString();
errWriter.close();
return (failed ? -1: status);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
return -1;
} finally {
if (t != null) {
t.cancel();
}
}
}
public int doExec(String[] cmd) throws IOException{
return doExec(cmd, null);
}
public String getOutResult(){
return outResult;
}
public String getErrResult(){
return errResult;
}
private static class StreamReader extends Thread {
private InputStream is;
private StringWriter sw;
StreamReader(InputStream is) {
this.is = is;
sw = new StringWriter(30000);
}
public void run() {
try {
int c;
while ((c = is.read()) != -1){
sw.write(c);
}
}
catch (IOException e) { ; }
}
StringWriter getResult() {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Unable to close input stream in StreamReader");
}
return sw;
}
}
private TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
failed = true;
process.destroy();
}
};
}
Here's the script that startOminNames() invokes. It's the shell script installed with omniORB with functions other than start and get_pid removed, since those are handled by Android classes. You can invoke any executable in place of the script, or wrap your executable in a script.
Code:
#
# omniNames init file for starting up the OMNI Naming service
#
# chkconfig: - 20 80
# description: Starts and stops the OMNI Naming service
#
exec="/sdcard/data/com.axiosengineering.rhmanager/omniORB/bin/omniNames"
prog="omniNames"
logdir="/sdcard/data/com.axiosengineering.rhmanager/omniORB/logs"
logfile="/sdcard/data/com.axiosengineering.rhmanager/omniORB/logs/omninames-localhost.err.log"
options=" -start -always -logdir $logdir -errlog $logfile"
start() {
#[ -x $exec ] || exit 5
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
$exec $options
}
get_pid() {
ps | grep omniNames
}
case "$1" in
start)
start && exit 0
$1
;;
pid)
get_pid
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|try-restart|reload|force-reload}"
exit 2
esac
exit $?
And here's the IStatusListener interface
Code:
public interface IStatusListener {
public void running(boolean running);
}
Runtime.exec() has some pitfalls. See this helpful Runtime.exec tutorial for a nice explanation.

NotificationListenerService gets killed but not restarted

Hi all i'm having troubles with an app that I'm developing. I make use of NotificationListenerService, prompt the user to set the Notification permission from the menu and all works flawlessly. But when I update my app, or when my service gets killed it, for unknown reasons, doesn't restart.
In `onCreate()` I retain a reference to the service with `instance = this;` that I use to determine if my service is running from other classes.
This is some methods in `onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification notification)` that extends NotificationListenerService:
PHP:
@Override
public void onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification sbn) {
if (MyOtherService.hasInstance()) {
Log.v(TAG, "onNotificationPosted called by system");
int count_debug = 1;
for (StatusBarNotificationListenerInterface listener : toBeNotified) {
if(listener != null) {
Log.v(TAG, "Loop call #" + count_debug++);
listener.onNotificationHotAdded(sbn);
}
}
} else {
// MyOtherService isn't running. Does nothing but clearing toBeNotified list.
toBeNotified.clear();
Log.v(TAG, "onNotificationPosted: MyOtherService is stopped ");
}
}
public static void registerForNotifications(StatusBarNotificationListenerInterface listener) {
if (!toBeNotified.contains(listener)) {
Log.v(TAG, listener.getClass().getCanonicalName() + " added to toBeNotified list");
toBeNotified.add(listener);
}
}
NOTE: MyOtherService extends DreamService and just register itself calling the `registerForNotifications()` method.
In the `MyNotificationListener` I override `onStartCommand` returning `START_STICKY`
I'm really going crazy with this stuff being killed almost at each update.

[Q] updating parse?

I'm new to parse. Having trouble with updating. I don't have a problem at all with saving and retrieving user data. Just updating users data.
In my error toast I added some code to tell me my objectId. According to that its the objectId for my User. Not profile_info like I believe I need.
The error I get is "no result for query".
Code:
update.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg1) {
final String obId = ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId();
ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = ParseQuery.getQuery("profile_info");
query.getInBackground(obId, new GetCallback<ParseObject>() {
public void done(ParseObject profile_info, ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
profile_info.put("first_name", fname.getText().toString());
profile_info.put("last_name", lname.getText().toString());
profile_info.put("height_in_feet", hf.getText().toString());
profile_info.put("height_in_inches", hi.getText().toString());
profile_info.put("weight", weight.getText().toString());
profile_info.put("waist", waist.getText().toString());
profile_info.put("wrist", wrist.getText().toString());
profile_info.put("hip", hip.getText().toString());
profile_info.put("forearm", forearm.getText().toString());
profile_info.saveInBackground();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Your profile has been updated",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Error saving: " + e.getMessage() + "\nthe objectId is " + obId,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
});
}
})

Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

I figured it out. Not sure if this is the right way to do it but it works.
Code:
ParseQuery<ParseObject> pQuery = new ParseQuery<ParseObject>("profile_info");
pQuery.whereEqualTo("first_name", fname.getText().toString());
pQuery.getFirstInBackground(new GetCallback<ParseObject>()
{ [user=439709]@override[/user]
public void done(ParseObject profile_info, ParseException e) {
if (e == null){
[\CODE]
I I also figured out that I can't change the text that's in the text field used in this: "pQuery.whereEqualTo"

When I import "uri" for my on activity results at the end of my code I get a bunch of errors for everything I'm doing with parse. I been searching and trying different image picker tutorials and always end up with same results. I've checked out parse.com but only see info on saving images from the drawable folder. If I can get the image picker to work I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to save it to parse.com.

Permission Denial when reading URI after RESTARTING the app

Hello everyone, I have an Android application that allows users to choose a photo for their profile as follows:
public void pickImage(View view) {
Intent getIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
getIntent.setType("image/*");
Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
pickIntent.setType("image/*");
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(getIntent, "Select Image");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[] {pickIntent});
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, 1);
}
@override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Context context = getApplicationContext();
if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data == null) {
//Display an error
return;
}
try {
ImageView im = findViewById(R.id.circularImageView);
uri = data.getData();
im.setImageURI(uri);
String image = uri.toString();
Log.d("ImageS", image);
SqlHelper db = new SqlHelper(this);
Intent i = getIntent();
String userid = i.getStringExtra("Name");
db.updateImage(userid, image);
}catch (Exception e){
}
//Now you can do whatever you want with your inpustream, save it as file, upload to a server, decode a bitmap...
}
}
Everything works fine and when I want to retrieve from my db the image everything works fine:
ImageView im1 = findViewById(R.id.circularImageView2);
im1.setImageURI(null);
String iS = db.getImage(name);
Log.d("ImageR", iS);
//
// Uri uri = Uri.parse(image);
//Log.d("Equals", String.valueOf(iS.equals(String.valueOf(R.drawable.imageuser))));
if(iS.equals(String.valueOf(R.drawable.imageuser))){ //Part to determine whether the user changed it or I use the default one
im1.setImageResource(Integer.parseInt(iS));
}else{
Uri uri = Uri.parse(iS);
ContentResolver contentResolver= getContentResolver();
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor = null;
try {
parcelFileDescriptor = contentResolver.openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);
try {
parcelFileDescriptor.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
im1.setImageBitmap(image);
}
The thing is that when I restart the application, I get the following error when going into an activity in which a user changed the image:

I have permissions set for my app to read internal storage but it is like it is not working after rebooting.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS"/>
String[] permissions = {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS};
for(String permission: permissions){
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, permission)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
permission)) {
// Show an explanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
// this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
// sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.
} else {
// No explanation needed; request the permission
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
permissions, 0);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
// app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
// result of the request.
}
}
}
Any ideas on how to solve this?

I think the gallery app gives you temporary access to the photo (search FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION).
As the solution, you can copy the photo into application folder and keep it there.

Your logcat says "requires that you obtain access using ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or related APIs".
Have a look in the following link. It should give you an idea or possible solution...
