I think the easy way to resolve it is create a service which always are
running and notifying to the activity, this service should run a thread to
check periodically the data from the web service.
public class ViewSlideService extends Service {
public static final String TAG = "ViewSlideService";
Updater updater;
private final int DELAY = 3000;
private boolean isRunning = false;
Messenger outMessenger;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
updater = new Updater();
Log.v(TAG, "onCreate");
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
Log.v(TAG, "onStart");
licenseSeat = QwizdomCommon.licenseSeat;
isRunning = true;
updater.start();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
isRunning = false;
updater.interrupt();
updater = null;
// QwizdomWS.releaseSessionSeat(QwizdomCommon.licenseSeat.getSeatKey()); //
May be to finish we must release the session seat.
Log.v(TAG, "onDestroy");
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.v(TAG, "onBind");
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
outMessenger = (Messenger) extras.get("MESSENGER");
}
return null;
}
private class Updater extends Thread {
@Override
public void run() {
super.run();
while (isRunning) {
UpdateResult update;
try {
//Get data from web service
Thread.sleep(DELAY);
} catch (Exception e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
