As the question implies, I am wondering how I could write a thread
that would call a system service and then wait a certain amount of
time before calling said system service's function that calls back to
onReceive from a registered BroadcastReceiver.
In other words, I am trying to call the Wifi scanning service
(registering a BroadcastReceiver with IntentFilters) within my custom
local service so I can get the current SSID's available and send them
back to the activities that are bound to this service. I know what I
will end up doing with the received data, which is not relevant to
this question. However, I will need to wait a certain amount of time
before calling startScan again within onReceive, and that is where I
am trying to determine the best course of action.
Here is what I have so far:
class MyWifiScanner extends BroadcastReceiver implements Runnable{
private boolean running;
private final int SLEEP_TIME = 10000;
private Object mSync = new Object();
WifiManager wifiMan;
Thread t;
public MyWifiScanner(){
//receiver registered with intent filters
wifiMan = (WifiManager)
SSIDListenerService.this.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//Received WiFi access point names, handle them
//Should I call wait on a sync object while syncronized
with it for
said amount of time and then call notify???
syncrhonized(mSync){
mSync.wait(SLEEP_TIME);
mSync.notify();
}
}
@Override
public void run() {
while(running){
syncrhonized(mSync){
wifiMan.startScan();
}
}
}
}
Or would it make sense to just create a BroadcastReceiver object that
just calls Thread.sleep in the end of onReceive?
