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);

Just would like to add some images like happy if that is the detected emotion. Please do help me. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you :)
I would like to add that after the emotionInfo.

I guess detectWithStream is you want.

From Java SDK, the List<DetectedFace> object will return if successful.

Android Studio Ble Gatt connection writing data to a custom service characteristic

I am trying to write some custom data to a BLE device with a custom service on it. I have followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUbFB1Qypg8&feature=emb_logo which is from android.
I can see my custom service with data on it. Also via another application (NRF connect) I can write data to this custom service. Therefore, I know its possible to write data to the service.
The issue I have is other examples of how to write data to the custom service use BluetoothGatt whereas, this code seems to use BluetoothLeService instead. This is an issue as the documentation does not seem to have a read API for the BluetoothLeService. So I can not use something like mBluetoothGatt.readCharacteristic(mReadCharacteristic);
How can I go about creating a function to write a value (integer) to the characterisitic.
My UUID for the service is: "f3641400-00b0-4240-ba50-05ca45bf8abc"
My UUID for the characteristic is: "f3641401-00b0-4240-ba50-05ca45bf8abc"

}

I fixed my issue by creating a function inside of the Bluetoothle service. This is where the bluetooth gatt connection is. The function is like so.
public void writeCharacteristic(int Data) {
if (mBluetoothAdapter == null || mBluetoothGatt == null) {
Log.w(TAG, "BluetoothAdapter not initialized");
return;
}
byte[] value = intToByteArray(Data);
BluetoothGattService mCustomService = mBluetoothGatt.getService(UUID.fromString("f3641400-00b0-4240-ba50-05ca45bf8abc"));
if(mCustomService == null){
Log.w(TAG, "Custom BLE Service not found");
return;
}
/*get the read characteristic from the service*/
BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic = mCustomService.getCharacteristic(UUID.fromString("f3641401-00b0-4240-ba50-05ca45bf8abc"));
characteristic.setValue(value);
mBluetoothGatt.writeCharacteristic(characteristic);
}
It just needs a data (Int value passing into it). Then this is received by my Bluetooth board and, can see its data on a terminal being sent correctly.

dialog pops out even after hiding the dialog

I have implemented a lockscreen and in it i have a check button which opens a calculator like UI and when the user types his secret no this unlocks the complete lockscreen where calculator is a dialog over my lockscreen.
Service class that gives the calculator UI:

This class gives me the UI like this Calculator ui in which = button should unlock the device
Here this completely works fine but the problem is after unlocking this calculator dialog again comes in front like this UI in home screen
which i dont want. So how to avoid this UI from popping out again and again.

mediaplayer.isPlaying always gets false

I am currently working on Chat application. In this there is feature of sending voice notes. The sending and playing of voice notes is working fine. But the problem is that when I play the voice notes, the previous voice notes playing not stoping.. both are playing together.
here is my code for playing voice notes,
public static class MessageViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private TextView messageTextView;
private ImageView messageImageView;

private SeekBar progressSeekbar;
private MediaPlayer mPlayer;
double timeElapsed = 0, finalTime = 0;
Handler durationHandler = new Handler();
Runnable updateSeekBarTime;
boolean isPlaying;
public MessageViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
messageTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.messageTextView);
messageImageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.messageImageView);
timeTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.timeTextView);

isPlaying = false;
mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
}
public void setupAudioPlay(final long duration, final String url){
progressSeekbar.setMax((int) duration);
progressSeekbar.setClickable(false);
mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
try {
mPlayer.setDataSource(url);
mPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}catch (IllegalStateException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
playImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Log.e("Media player","isPlaying"+mPlayer.isPlaying()+isPlaying);
if (mPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mPlayer.stop();
mPlayer.release();
mPlayer = null;
}
if (!isPlaying) {
isPlaying = true;
mPlayer.start();
playImageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
stopImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
timeElapsed = mPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
progressSeekbar.setProgress((int) timeElapsed);
durationHandler.postDelayed(updateSeekBarTime, 100);
} else {
isPlaying = false;
mPlayer.pause();
}
}
});
stopImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (isPlaying) {
if (stopPlaying()) {
playImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
stopImageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
}
});
mPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
if (mp != null) {
mPlayer.seekTo(0);
isPlaying = false;
progressSeekbar.setProgress(0);
}
playImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
stopImageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
});
updateSeekBarTime = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (mPlayer != null) {
if (mPlayer.isPlaying()) {
timeElapsed = mPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
progressSeekbar.setProgress((int) timeElapsed);
durationHandler.postDelayed(this, 100);
} else {
mPlayer.pause();
isPlaying = false;
progressSeekbar.setProgress(0);
playImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

}
}
}
};
}
private boolean stopPlaying() {
mPlayer.pause();
mPlayer.seekTo(0);
if (!mPlayer.isPlaying()) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
here the mPlayer.isPlaying always gets false.
Please Help me!

From the documentation:
When the call to pause() returns, the MediaPlayer object enters the Paused state. Note that the transition from the Started state to the Paused state and vice versa happens asynchronously in the player engine. It may take some time before the state is updated in calls to isPlaying(), and it can be a number of seconds in the case of streamed content.
This may be the case here. The reasons why sound is not stopping and why isPlaying() returns true might be different. For example multiple instances of MediaPlayer might exist in parallel, making mPlayer static would exclude such an option.

You can check the system Audio status whenever it is necessary. In your case, whenever the play button is clicked the condition below should be checked first.
AudioManager manager = (AudioManager)this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
if(manager.isMusicActive())
{
// to do
}
In to do part you should implement the primary action which is:
KeyEvent event = new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PAUSE);
audioManager.dispatchMediaKeyEvent(event);
You can find the whole documentation here
