Android Service Stops Even with Wakelocks in Place
I must not have implemented the wakelocks correctly. This is how I did it. Is this correct?
private static final String LOCK_NAME_STATIC="domination.shredAssistant.locationService";
private static volatile PowerManager.WakeLock lockStatic=null;
synchronized private static PowerManager.WakeLock getLock(Context context) {
if (lockStatic==null) {
PowerManager mgr=(PowerManager)context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
lockStatic=mgr.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK,
LOCK_NAME_STATIC);
开发者_高级运维 lockStatic.setReferenceCounted(true);
}
return(lockStatic);
}
and the onStart method
//onStart
public void onStart( Intent intent, int startId ) {
super.onStart( intent, startId );
if (running == false) {
Context ctxt=getApplicationContext();
getLock(ctxt).acquire();
running = true;
readResorts();
serviceHandler = new Handler();
serviceHandler.postDelayed( new RunTask(),1000L );
runtest=true;
locupdate(0,0);
}
}
I can't seem to figure out why the service is still killed after a period of inactivity even though I use getLock(ctxt).acquire(); Thanks for your help! -Dom
If a service has been in-active for quite sometime Android will kill it. Normally developers would set services to foregrounded priority but this caused poor battery life. If you need to keep a long running service you'll now have to use the new startForeground api in the service class to post an icon in the notification bar.
developer.android
I created a class that makes this backwards compatible to Android 1.5 and 1.6 if you need it.... ServiceForegrounder.java
