Android Studio Tutorial - 52 - Services & Thread

Always use a separate thread for service and do not use the main GUI thread . If you use the main GUI thread for service, it may cause the the Application Not Responding Error (ANR) . This video demonstrate how to create a separate thread for your service.

Hi Prabeesh. Thank you for great tutorial . I have a question though. MyService class involves a callback, LocationListener onLocationChanged, does the newly created thread handle the callback or main thread handles it ? Please let me khow

hi sir,
I was having a task like, where i have to insert/update A LOT OF DATA like 1000 rows with 80 colums each in the sqlite local DB, for that i was creating a thread.. in that thread i was creating a method like dbLogic(), the thing is after completion of the task i.e; insertion/updation completion i have to show an alert dialog, that alert dialog code i have written normally not in the thread..In some times the main problem causing is, the alert dialog is coming before only unless my another thread doesn't completed its work, i was trying to store 1000 data, in some times it was storing 200 data and the alert was coming, in some times it was storing 400 data alert was coming, in sometimes it was storing 550 or 600 or 650 the alert box was coming.. what i need is after successfully completion of the task only my main thread should execute. i heard that thread is an independent process... what to do please help me..

is it possible to use Async task instead of a service + thread?

[amrashraf]

why are you use syncronized function ? as it is in the same thread

I have a problem when i had used the thread (ANR), and Start it is not working, i have to replace it with Run

[anikaanik]

I have a switch button in my android application.
I make a thread which work is randomly flashing. I put a Start method
when switch button is on and interrupt the method when the button is of.
It works the first time but the second time when I touch the switch
button the application ends automatically. I press the button then the
random flashing work then I stop the button and the flashing stops but
when I start it again with the button the app stops by itself.
xx=new Runnable()
{
@Override
public void run()
{
synchronized (this)
{
while (true)
{
try {




camera.stopPreview();

c1.sleep(100);


camera.startPreview();
//c1.interrupt();


}
catch (Exception e)
{

break; //this is a MUST

}

}
}
}
//}

};


c1 =new Thread(xx);

{
public void buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
if (s1.isChecked())

{
c1.start();
}
else
{
c1.interrupt();

}

}

});

[gurkanlus]

if we use seperate thread, whats the meaning of using service

[deadpiece]

i don't think that thread will stop coz it doesnot have intrrupt in it as for the service i know it will stop but

[TRK]

Make a video on service which gives toast for every 10sec even when the app is closed

[iadorakelley]

I cannot understand anything U R saying!
