how to make a count down timer using service component in android? - java

I am trying to build an app in which the action bar has a countdown timer view. I succeeded in doing it but, when I close the app and reopen, the countdown restarts. What I need is the countdown should not stop till it completes its time even if I close or minimize the app. I tried this code:
final long[] timer = {2700000};
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
final MenuItem counter = menu.findItem(R.id.counter);
new CountDownTimer(timer[0], 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
long millis = millisUntilFinished;
String hms = (TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis))+":"+(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis) -TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis)))+":"+ (TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis)));
counter.setTitle(hms);
timer[0] = millis;
}
public void onFinish() {
counter.setTitle("done!");
}
}.start();
return true;

Mr. donnfelker Had written countdown timer service on his bootstrap android demo. given link is open source Android bootstrap you will find this service class. will give you hint for how this will done.
public class TimerService extends Service {

#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
context = this;
number = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.foodName);
mPrefs = this.getSharedPreferences("myAppPrefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
if (mPrefs.getLong(Key, 0) == 0) {
mPrefs.edit().putLong(Key, time).apply();
} else {
time = mPrefs.getLong(Key, time);
}
Log.d("App Open Time ", time + "");
startCount();
}
private void startCount() {
countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(time, 1000) {
#Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
mPrefs.edit().putLong(Key, millisUntilFinished).apply();
number.setText(millisUntilFinished/1000 + "");
Log.d("Remaining time", millisUntilFinished/1000 + "");
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
Log.d("finished time", time + "");
mPrefs.edit().putLong(Key, 0).apply();
number.setText(time + "");
}
};
countDownTimer.start();
}
#Override

super.onPause();
countDownTimer.cancel();
Log.d("App in background", "with " + time);

how to show a dialog after 1 or 2 min after opning app for first time

I want to show a custom XML dialog dialogue that will appear after a specific time in the first run, let's say after a min
how can I do it
but I'm confused about what should I do in a situation like below
if the user open the app for the first time and just spent 30 sec and just pause the app(screen lock or in onPause) or just close the app completely
Just as a note - I have already implemented a one time show dialog(directly in main activity without any layout file ) when the app runs for the first time already
Code
To view the already implemented dialog(shows up on the first run) please
go to the // Caution dialog (showDialog method)

This is impossible to do if your app is closed.My suggestion would be to create a service on another process that does this dialog such that even if the app process is closed,the service process will still be running unless it is stopped explicitly.
Defining a Process of a Service
The android:process field defines the name of the process where the
service is to run. Normally, all components of an application run in
the default process created for the application. However, a component
can override the default with its own process attribute, allowing you
to spread your application across multiple processes.
If the name assigned to this attribute begins with a colon (':'), the
service will run in its own separate process.
<service android:name="com.example.appName" android:process=":externalProcess" />
This is of course in the manifest file .
You might also need to show a system dialog thus you will need a system Alert Window permission i your manifest and request for the permision on runtime.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />
Then on runtime request like this:
public static void openOverlaySettings(Activity activity) {
final Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
Uri.parse("package:" + activity.getPackageName()));
try {
activity.startActivityForResult(intent, 6);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("Drawers permission :", e.getMessage());
}
}
To check if granted use :
if(!Settings.canDrawOverlays(context)) {
openOverlaySettings(context);
ok=false;
}
Then in your service you should create the dialog like below
View aldv= LayoutInflater.from(act).inflate(R.layout.your_layout,null);
ald=new AlertDialog.Builder(act,R.style.AppTheme)
.setView(aldv)
.setCancelable(true)
.create();
ald.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT);

How to launch a dialog when app is in onStop() state?

I'm creating a timer app that utilizes a thread. When I exit the app using the home button the timer is running fine. Usually, when the time is up a dialog is launched that asks the user for some input. This works completely fine if the app is in its onResume() state, however when the app is in its onStop() state the dialog will not launch and an error is thrown.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not perform this action after onSaveInstanceState
How can I make it so that when the time is up and the app is NOT in the foreground the dialog is still launched. My initial thought was to save the time remaining in the bundle, but the time remaining is changing for every single tick. Then I thought about storing a boolean in the bundle mTimeRunning. However, when the time is up this value must also change. So now I'm drawing a blank. What can I possibly do so that the dialog is launched when the app is not in the foreground?

when the time is up and the app is NOT in the foreground the dialog is still launched
You should not be doing this since this will interrupt the user from doing other work which they might be doing at that time and this can be irritating.
What can I possibly do so that the dialog is launched when the app is not in the foreground?
You can show the dialog only the user is actively using your application or you can fall back to show a notification when the user is not using the app.
And if you desperately want to show a dialog, you can try a dialog themed activity

Count down timer how to implement onfinish method

I have a countdown timer that i want to implement on finish method or some kind of code so that when the timer stops, the text views change to Time's up and another method is initiated (in the activity).
To clarify, the timer is given a starting number that counts down from, to zero in format of xx:xx.
The class of the timer :
public class countdown_timer {
private long pls;
private long millisInFuture;
private long countDownInterval;
private boolean status;
public countdown_timer(long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
this.millisInFuture = pMillisInFuture;
this.countDownInterval = pCountDownInterval;
this.pls = pMillisInFuture;
status = false;
Initialize();
}
public void Stop() {
status = false;
}
public void Reset() {
millisInFuture = pls;
}
public long getCurrentTime() {
return millisInFuture;
}
public void Start() {
status = true;
}
public void Initialize()
{
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Log.v("status", "starting");
final Runnable counter = new Runnable(){
public void run(){
long sec = millisInFuture/1000;
if(status) {
if(millisInFuture <= 0) {
Log.v("status", "done");
} else {
Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain");
millisInFuture -= countDownInterval;
handler.postDelayed(this, countDownInterval);
}
} else {
Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain and timer has stopped!");
handler.postDelayed(this, countDownInterval);
}
}
};
handler.postDelayed(counter, countDownInterval);
}
The activty that the timer is used:

card_2_down.setText(card_2_down_start_formatted);

};
handler.postDelayed(counter, 100);
}
You can use CountDownTimer:
new CountDownTimer(endsIn * 1000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
timerTextView.setText(String.valueOf(millisUntilFinished/1000);
}
public void onFinish() {
}
}.start();
OR:
extend CountDownTimer class:
public class countdown_timer extends CountDownTimer {
TextView textView;
#Override
public void onTick(long millisInFuture) {
long sec = millisInFuture/1000;
if(millisInFuture <= 0) {
Log.v("status", "done");
} else {
Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain and timer has stopped!");
}
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
if(textView != null){
// change text in your textview
}
}
public countdown_timer(long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
super(pMillisInFuture, pCountDownInterval);
}
public countdown_timer(TextView textView, long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
super(pMillisInFuture, pCountDownInterval);
this.textView = textView;
}
}
here is a two constructors, one of them is the same as is in your example and in second one you can pass also TextView object and use it in onFinish() method.
UPDATE 2:
Here is CountDownTimer in the Activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView textView;
CountDownTimer mycounterdown;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
long startcard = 10000;
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.test);
mycounterdown = new CountDownTimer(startcard, 1000) {
#Override
public void onTick(long mycounterup) {
int minutes_up_start = (int) (mycounterup / 1000) / 60;
int seconds_up_start = (int) (mycounterup / 1000) % 60;
String time_2_up_start_formatted = String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%02d:%02d", minutes_up_start, seconds_up_start);
textView.setText(time_2_up_start_formatted);
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
// call here other methods from activity
testMethod();
}
};
mycounterdown.start();
}
public void testMethod(){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Test Method called", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
UPDATE 3: if last tick is one, not zero change count down interval to 500 instead of 1000:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView textView;
CountDownTimer mycounterdown;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
long startcard = 10000;
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.test);
mycounterdown = new CountDownTimer(startcard, 500) {
#Override
public void onTick(long mycounterup) {
int minutes_up_start = (int) (mycounterup / 1000) / 60;
int seconds_up_start = (int) (mycounterup / 1000) % 60;
String time_2_up_start_formatted = String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%02d:%02d", minutes_up_start, seconds_up_start);
textView.setText(time_2_up_start_formatted);
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
// call here other methods from activity
testMethod();
}
};
mycounterdown.start();
}
public void testMethod(){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Test Method called", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
NOTE: take a look at this answer
First, extend CountDownTimer in your timer class.
public class countdown_timer extends CountDownTimer {
}
This allows you to implement some methods.
#Override
public void onTick(long l) {
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
}
Also you must implement constructor that matches super class. You can also add some additional parameters. For example TextView
TextView textView;
public countdown_timer(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval, TextView txt) {
super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
textView = txt;
}
The onFinish() is what you want. Also make sure you are using this class as a CountDownTimer. Then you will be able to start your timer.
Hope it helps.

how to solve android service has leaked error

I have an activity that calls a service on its onCreate , however when I try yo run the project I keep getting an error saying the service has leaked and longer bound on the activity that called/registered it .
"Activity com.xera.deviceinsight.home.DataUsageActivity has leaked ServiceConnection com.xera.deviceinsight.home.DataUsageActivity$3#42676a48 that was originally bound here" I am assuming this might have something to do with the lifecycle of the activity . I have both the activity and the service in question below
myActivity
public class DataUsageActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements MonitorService.ServiceCallback
{
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TinyDB settings = new TinyDB(this);
if (settings.getBoolean(AppPreferences.HAS_LOGGED_IN))
{
this.bindService(
new Intent(this, MonitorService.class),
serviceConnection,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
return;
}
}

// adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}

The problem is that you don't unbind from you service in .onPause() or in .onDestroy(), so if you Activity is destroyed, connection still last, so there is leaked connection. If you want you service to run all the time, you should start it by .startService() and then bind to it. In .onStop() or .onDestroy() unbind from that service

stopwatch running in background with service

I'm trying to make a simple stopwatch for Android. It should keep counting time after minimalizing an app. I have put stopwatch logic into Service and I bind this service in MainActivity to get control over it. Counting time runs in separate thread and I'm using messenger to send time back to MainActivity. Everything works good as long as I don't minimize app and go back while stopwatch is running. After that, pressing start/stop runs second thread counting time instead of stopping the first one. Could check what is wrong? Would appreciate :)
Here are java classes:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public static Handler sHandler;
private final int playPause = 0;
private final int reset = 1;
private int secs = 0;
private int mins = 0;
private int millis = 0;
private long currentTime = 0L;
private boolean isBound = false;
private MyService myService;
private Intent intent;
#BindView(R.id.timer)
TextView time;
#OnClick(R.id.fab_playPause)
public void playPause() {
myService.startStop();
}
#OnClick(R.id.fab_reset)
public void reset() {
myService.reset();
mins = 0;
secs = 0;
millis = 0;
setTime();
}
#OnClick(R.id.fab_exit)
public void exit() {
onDestroy();
}
#OnClick(R.id.fab_save)
public void save() {
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ButterKnife.bind(this);
intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
MainActivity.sHandler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message timeMsg) {
super.handleMessage(timeMsg);
currentTime = Long.valueOf(timeMsg.obj.toString());
secs = (int) (currentTime / 1000);
mins = secs / 60;
secs = secs % 60;
millis = (int) (currentTime % 1000);
setTime();
}
};
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
bindService(intent, myConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
stopService(intent);
finishAffinity();
}
private ServiceConnection myConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
MyService.LocalBinder binder = (MyService.LocalBinder) service;
myService = binder.getService();
isBound = true;
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
isBound = false;
}
};
public void setTime() {
time.setText("" + mins + ":" + String.format("%02d", secs) + ":"
+ String.format("%03d", millis));
}
}
and:
public class MyService extends Service {
private boolean isRunning = false;
private long startTime = 0;
private long timeInMilliseconds = 0;
private long timeSwapBuff = 0;
private long updatedTime = 0;
private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder();
private Message timeMsg;
public MyService() { }
public Runnable updateTimer = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
timeInMilliseconds = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - startTime;
updatedTime = timeSwapBuff + timeInMilliseconds;
Log.d("Czas:", String.valueOf(updatedTime));
timeMsg = new Message();
timeMsg.obj = updatedTime;
MainActivity.sHandler.sendMessage(timeMsg);
MainActivity.sHandler.postDelayed(this, 0);
}
};
#Override
public void onCreate(){
super.onCreate();
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mBinder;
}
public void startStop(){
if (isRunning) {
timeSwapBuff += timeInMilliseconds;
MainActivity.sHandler.removeCallbacks(updateTimer);
isRunning = false;
} else {
startTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
MainActivity.sHandler.postDelayed(updateTimer, 0);
isRunning = true;
}
}
public void reset(){
MainActivity.sHandler.removeCallbacks(updateTimer);
isRunning=false;
startTime = 0L;
timeInMilliseconds = 0L;
timeSwapBuff = 0L;
updatedTime = 0L;
timeMsg = new Message();
timeMsg.obj = updatedTime;
MainActivity.sHandler.sendMessage(timeMsg);
}
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
public MyService getService(){
return MyService.this;
}
}
}
and a GitHub link: https://github.com/zelaznymarek/stoper
1)extend your service from service class just like
public class AlarmService extends Service {...
2)return your service STICKY like
return Service.START_STICKY;
3)use CountDownTimer or Timer Or Simple Tread Classes ;
