[ACCEPTED]-How to start a new Thread in a service?-android
Android commandment: thou shall not interact 2 with UI objects from your own threads
Wrap 1 your Toast Display into runOnUIThread(new Runnable() { });
Example of new thread creation taken from 3 Android samples (android-8\SampleSyncAdapter\src\com\example\android\samplesync\client\NetworkUtilities.java):
public static Thread performOnBackgroundThread(final Runnable runnable) {
final Thread t = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
runnable.run();
} finally {
}
}
};
t.start();
return t;
}
runnable is 2 the Runnable that contains your Network 1 operations.
You can use HandlerThread and post to it, here 1 is an example to service that has one.
public class NetworkService extends Service {
private HandlerThread mHandlerThread;
private Handler mHandler;
private final IBinder mBinder = new MyLocalBinder();
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mHandlerThread = new HandlerThread("LocalServiceThread");
mHandlerThread.start();
mHandler = new Handler(mHandlerThread.getLooper());
}
public void postRunnable(Runnable runnable) {
mHandler.post(runnable);
}
public class MyLocalBinder extends Binder {
public NetworkService getService() {
return NetworkService.this;
}
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mBinder;
}
}
You may define your jobs in a runnable object, use 4 a thread object for running it and start 3 this thread in your service's onStartCommand() function. Here 2 is my notes:
In your service class:
- define your main loop in an
Runnableobject - create
Threadobject with the runnable object as parameter
In your 1 service class's onStartCommand method():
- call thread object's start function()
my code :
private Runnable busyLoop = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
int count = 1;
while(true) {
count ++;
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (Exception ex) {
;
}
ConvertService.running.sendNotification("busyLoop" + count);
}
}
};
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
sendNotification("onStartCommand");
if (! t.isAlive()) {
t.start();
}
return START_STICKY;
}
