[Q] How to use Timer to restart record video for every preset interval time?

Can someone tell me how can i use something like a timer to start a video recording interval process for a period of time (eg: 5mins) then restarts to record another set of 5min video until the user intervene to stop the process..

someone please help...

Thread
you are writing a service, right? typically this service should also implement a thread. inside this thread you could implement your timer feature.
-didi

But the thing is i don't know how to even implement or even write the timer codes into my serviceRecording.java file... Can you help me on this?

i recently did this with a widget. i used an AlarmManager to set repeating alarms that would broadcast an intent that could be caught by a broadcastReciever and then do something... im at work now but when i get home i can try to give you some sample code.

you sure this needs to be a service? a service is something that is doing work but not at the forefront of the ui. its unseen. do you want your recording to be done in the background? i only ask because i did some research on services and found that they cannot be a BroadCastReciever and thus cannot use the AlarmManager that i said would work.
as far as a timer i have not looked into that particular class...
sorry i was no help. but if you decide to use the AlarmManager i could help

Someone recently recommended using these code to implement the sort of interval recording i wanted with this code below but i don't seems to know how to implement these codes into my current code could someone lend me a hand how how can can i implement the appropriate codes into my code to make my code work? Or is there simpler way to achieve "dynamic" (with Preferences) interval recording?
Code:
final ServiceRecording recording = ....
final AtomicBoolean started = new AtomicBoolean(false);
ScheduledExecutorService executor = Executors.newScheduledExecutor(1);
executor.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() { public void run() { //only stop if we have started if(started.get()) { recording.stop(); } else { started.set(true); } recording.start(); }}, 5, 5, TimeUnit.MINUTES);

Any progress on this? I was thinking you coukd have a private inner class in your service class that handles the timing with an AlarmManager
Im on my phone right now but something along these lines...
Private Class MyTimer extends BroadcastReciever {
//Implement onRecieve
Public void onRecieve(Context c, Intent i) {
//if intent matches 5min alarm
//start recording
}
Then in your service you can make a recurring alarm using the AlarmManager class to signal your inner class to start or even stop the recording based on what intent you pass it
When i get home ill right a bit more code as an example
From something awesome

i wrote a bit of code. its incomplete. and you will have to maybe mess with making the AlarmServicer class either static, public, private or something to make it work. basicly your service creates a five minute alarm directed at the AlarmServicer that it catches in the onRecieve() method and then starts your recording again and then creates another alarm directed at itself. you can use some if/then logic to change wether or not the alarm will be created again based on if the user wants it to stop or not. and then to get it going again the service would invoke the setOneTimeAlarm method again.
Code:
public class ServiceRecording extends Service {
// NEW CONSTANT
public static final String FIVE_MIN_ALARM = "FIVE_MIN_ALARM";
public static final int FIVE_MINUTES = 300;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
recordingStatus = false;
ServiceCamera = CameraTest.MainCamera;
surfaceView = CameraTest.surfaceView;
surfaceHolder = CameraTest.surfaceHolder;
//set the first alarm
AlarmServicer.setOneTimeAlarm(AlarmServicer.class, this, ServiceRecording.FIVE_MINUTES , ServiceRecording.FIVE_MIN_ALARM);
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { }
public boolean startRecording() {}
public void stopRecording() {}
// NEW CODE
private static class AlarmServicer extends BroadcastReciever {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
super.onReceive(context, intent);
if (intent.getAction().equals(ServiceRecording.FIVE_MIN_ALARM)) {
ServiceRecording.startRecording();
//set another five min alarm
setOneTimeAlarm(AlarmServicer.class, this, ServiceRecording.FIVE_MINUTES, ServiceRecording.FIVE_MIN_ALARM;
}
}
private static void setOneTimeAlarm(java.lang.Class<?> cls, Context context, int seconds, String action) {
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, cls);
intent.setAction(action);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis() + (seconds * 1000), pendingIntent);
}
}
}
and i believe that you need to register the inner class as a broadcastreciever in the android manifest.

everything is fine.. there is no error in code. even the toast come up when i press the submit button..
but it is not sending message .. plzz help
Edit1 app is sending sms now but not on schedule time . it is sending sms instantly

I know this may be a silly question but did you add the proper permissions to your manifest for sending sms?

yes i already added the permission.. check the edit in the main post. it is sending sms but not at schedule time.

This is how I did mine:
MainActivity button click event (or some other event):
Code:
//Now let's set up the alarm
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, AlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MeterMaid.this,
0, intent, 0);
// We want the alarm to go off 30 seconds from now. Calendar.MINUTE
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.add(SECONDS_OR_MINUTES, (picker.getValue() - REMINDER_OFFSET));
// Schedule the alarm!
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), sender);
And my service to receive the alarm:
Code:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
private int SIMPLE_NOTFICATION_ID;
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
NotificationManager manger = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.meter128, "expiration warning", System.currentTimeMillis());
//intent.putExtra("Ringtone", Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/test.mp3"));
intent.putExtra("vibrationPatern", new long[] { 200, 300 });
intent.putExtra("Testtone", RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM));
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, new Intent(context, MainActivity.class), 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "Time is up!", "Your time is about to expire!!", contentIntent);
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_INSISTENT;
notification.sound = (Uri) intent.getParcelableExtra("Testtone"); //Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/test.mp3"); //
notification.vibrate = (long[]) intent.getExtras().get("vibrationPatern");
// The PendingIntent to launch our activity if the user selects this notification
manger.notify(SIMPLE_NOTFICATION_ID, notification);
}
}

Have you declared an edittext in a layout? maybe you need to change the id of this line.
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);, or maybe connection parameters are wrong...or you miss something...post the logcat!

Radiogroup and radiobutton selection in ExpandableListView

SharedPreferences Context Issue

I have created a questionnaire in the beginning of the app in order to base a user model off the answers chosen. The values of the chosen options are stored as Shared Preferences as shown below. With the data retrieved I am then trying to tag a Google map with certain tags based on the answers chosen. The issue I am encountering is that of reading the stored Shared Preference values across the different activities, from the Question2 Activity, to that of the Map Activity (code below). Any pointers on how to solve the *context* conflict would be greatly appreciated.
Question2 Activity:
Code:
public class Question2 extends Activity{
RadioButton q2a1,q2a2,q2a3;
Button btn2;
public static final String MY_PREF = "MyPreferences";
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_question2, null);
return v;
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_question2);
q2a1 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.q2a1);
q2a2 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.q2a2);
q2a3 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.q2a3);
btn2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.q2_button);
btn2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
SharedPreferences prefernces = getSharedPreferences(MY_PREF, 0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefernces.edit();
if (q2a1.isChecked()){
editor.putInt("answer_value2", 1);
editor.commit();
}
if (q2a2.isChecked()){
editor.putInt("answer_value2", 2);
editor.commit();
}
if (q2a3.isChecked()){
editor.putInt("answer_value2", 3);
editor.commit();
}else {
editor.putInt("answer_value2", 0);
editor.commit();
}
editor.commit();
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Question3.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
Map Activity:
Code:
public class MapActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapLayout)).getMap();
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences(Question2.MY_PREF,MODE_PRIVATE);
int q1answer = preferences.getInt("answer_value", 0);
int q2answer = preferences.getInt("answer_value2", 0);
int q3answer = preferences.getInt("answer_value3", 0);
if(q1answer == 1){
//method
}
if(q1answer == 2){
//method
}
if(q1answer == 3){
//method
}
if(q2answer == 1){
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(FOOD_FOOD).title("Food & Food").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE)));
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(HEALTHSHOP).title("Health Shop").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE)));

}if(q2answer == 2){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your result is " + q2answer, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(FOOD_FOOD).title("Food & Food").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE)));
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(SUBWAY).title("Subway").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE)));

Use this
create this class in your package
Code:
public class SharedPrefence{
// Shared Preferences
SharedPreferences pref;
// Editor for Shared preferences
Editor editor;
// Context
Context _context;
// Shared pref mode
int PRIVATE_MODE = 0;
// Sharedpref file name
private static final String PREF_NAME = "MyPreferences";
// Answers (make variable public to access from outside)
public static final String KEY_ANSWER_TWO = "answer_value2";
//similarly other answers tag can be added(this is the key of preference)
// Constructor
public SharedPrefence(Context context) {
_context = context;
pref = _context.getSharedPreferences(PREF_NAME, PRIVATE_MODE);
editor = pref.edit();
}
/**
* Create Answer.
* */
public void createAnswer(int ans) {
// Storing name in pref
editor.putInt(KEY_ANSWER_TWO, ans);
// commit changes
editor.commit();
}
public int getAnswer(String tag,int default) {
return pref.getString(tag, default);
}
}
now create an activity and initialise this class in the starting with the activity context.
next call the create answer method of this class and you are done.
also no need to create sharedprefence in each activity.
and it's even better if you create only one activity and use ViewPager for all questions.you can google for it.
