[Q] Handling ACTION_SCREEN in a widget

Hi,
I'm doing a widget that needs to be update on screen_on or on
user_present. As I'm not hable to register a BroadcastReceiver inside
the widget I'm doing it in a Service that is triggered by the widget
like this:
Widget.java:
Code:
@Override
public void onEnabled(Context context) {
super.onEnabled(context);
context.startService(new Intent(context,
WidgetService.class).setAction(WidgetService.ACTION_WIDGET_START));
}
WidgetService.java:
Code:
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
String action = intent.getAction();
Log.d(LOG_APP,"WidgetService onStart: "+action);
if (ACTION_WIDGET_STOP.equals(action)) {
this.unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
stopSelf();
return;
} else if (ACTION_WIDGET_START.equals(action)) {
// register receiver that handles screen on and screen off logic
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
return;
}
The problem is that when I try to register the receiver I get the
error that the service has leaked IntentReceiver because it was
already registered. Ive checked and no duplicate registration was done
in my code.
Do you have any idea what I'm overlooking?
Thanks,
PMD

[Q] Schedule with long delay

Hello guys. I'm making an app, its a kind of alarm scheduler but I have a problem with the code. Thats what im using
Code:
ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor scheduler=new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(1);
scheduler.schedule(new Runnable() {
public void run(){
alarm(1);
} }, delay , TimeUnit.SECONDS);
It works for low values of "delay" if I put a high value (11000 for example) and leave the device alone, I think it enters in sleep mode and dont execute the timer.
How can I solve that?
Thanks in advance

I dont know about the scheduler but an alarm manager can wake the phone from sleep if you want. Or run the alarm in the background while asleep
From something awesome

Thanks for your answer, worked for me.
Here's the code, it maybe help others

Nav drawer reloads fragments each time it closes...

I have a navigationDrawer that I am implementing for the first time, and each time I close the navigationDrawer without selecting an option in the listVIew it reloads a fragment.... I need help on how to reorganize my code so the drawer can close without reloading the fragments each time.
Code:
public class MainDraw extends FragmentActivity {
final String[] data ={"Statistics","Discover","three"};
final String[] fragments ={
"com.beerportfolio.beerportfoliopro.StatisticsPage",
"com.beerportfolio.beerportfoliopro.Discover",
"com.beerportfolio.beerportfoliopro.FragmentThree"};
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_main);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActionBar().getThemedContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, data);
final DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
final ListView navList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer);
navList.setAdapter(adapter);
navList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener(){
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, final int pos,long id){
drawer.setDrawerListener( new DrawerLayout.SimpleDrawerListener(){
@Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView){
super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
FragmentTransaction tx = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
tx.replace(R.id.main, Fragment.instantiate(MainDraw.this, fragments[pos]));
tx.commit();
}
});
drawer.closeDrawer(navList);
}
});
FragmentTransaction tx = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
tx.replace(R.id.main,Fragment.instantiate(MainDraw.this, fragments[0]));
tx.commit();
}
}

Passing data between two fragments

Hello guys,
I have a list of fragments created and I want to delete these fragment by long pressing on them. However, before doing so I want dialog fragment to pop up and offer the user the choice to delete or not. I have created the two fragments but I can't get the data across each other. I can't give functionality to the 'OK' button. Here is my code:
Code:
public class CourseListFragment extends Fragment implements
OnItemClickListener, OnItemLongClickListener {
public static final String ARG_ITEM_ID = "course_list";
public static final String YES_NO = "modify";
Activity activity;
ListView courseListView;
ArrayList<Course> courses;
CourseListAdapter courseListAdapter;
CourseDAO courseDAO;
private GetEmpTask task;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
activity = getActivity();
courseDAO = new CourseDAO(activity);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.schedule_fragment_course_list,
container, false);
findViewsById(view);
task = new GetEmpTask(activity);
task.execute((Void) null);
courseListView.setOnItemClickListener(this);
courseListView.setOnItemLongClickListener(this);
return view;
}
private void findViewsById(View view) {
courseListView = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_course);
}
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> list, View view, int position,
long id) {
Course course = (Course) list.getItemAtPosition(position);
if (course != null) {
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putParcelable("selectedCourse", course);
CustomCourseDialogFragment customEmpDialogFragment = new CustomCourseDialogFragment();
customEmpDialogFragment.setArguments(arguments);
customEmpDialogFragment.show(getFragmentManager(),
CustomCourseDialogFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID);
}
}
@Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// Show dialogFragment
FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
CheckDialogFragment dialog = new CheckDialogFragment();
dialog.show(fm, YES_NO);
Course employee = (Course) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
// Use AsyncTask to delete from database
courseDAO.deleteEmployee(employee);
courseListAdapter.remove(employee);
return true;
}
public class GetEmpTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, ArrayList<Course>> {
private final WeakReference<Activity> activityWeakRef;
public GetEmpTask(Activity context) {
this.activityWeakRef = new WeakReference<Activity>(context);
}
@Override
protected ArrayList<Course> doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
ArrayList<Course> courseList = courseDAO.getCourses();
return courseList;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<Course> empList) {
if (activityWeakRef.get() != null
&& !activityWeakRef.get().isFinishing()) {
courses = empList;
if (empList != null) {
if (empList.size() != 0) {
courseListAdapter = new CourseListAdapter(activity,
empList);
courseListView.setAdapter(courseListAdapter);
} else {
Toast.makeText(activity, "No Course Records",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
}
}
/*
* This method is invoked from MainActivity onFinishDialog() method. It is
* called from CustomEmpDialogFragment when an employee record is updated.
* This is used for communicating between fragments.
*/
public void updateView() {
task = new GetEmpTask(activity);
task.execute((Void) null);
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
getActivity().setTitle("Course Schedule");
getActivity().getActionBar().setTitle("Course Schedule");
super.onResume();
}
}
//Dialog Fragment
Code:
public class CheckDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
CourseListAdapter courseListAdapter;
CourseDAO courseDAO;
@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity())
.setTitle("Do you want to delete?")
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
})
.setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
dialog.cancel();
}
});
return builder.create();
}
}
I have problems trying to get the data from onItemLongClick() of CourseListFragment to CourseListFragment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Volley] Main UI extremely slow

In my app i just have a splash screen and a main activity. In the main thread i have three EditText boxes and a spinner with a string array. On clicking the Button, input from three EditText and spinner selection is posted to my mysql database. For the button click network operation, i used Volley since its east and i dont have to use AsyncTask which am not familiar with.
Apart from this, on entering the main UI .. app first check for network connectivity using ConnectivityManager class. After onClick app checks for empty/invalid imputs using TextUtils.
Now the problem is that when i run my app, its very slow and taking upto 65mb of RAM. IS something wrong with my code. Should i run something else as AsynTask ? Can someone check my code and refine it .. thank you

Well it's hard to say what exactly is wrong with it. Maybe text is to long. You can try to measure each operation performance with System.nanoseconds(easiest) and localize the problem first. It would be easier to say what to do with it.

Yes you should try to figure out what part is causing the problem. Try to cut the code down to essentials and measure the execution time. Maybe you will be able to tell what part exactly is not working as wanted.
