Hi,
how to call web service (asmx) periodically in background using android
service?
Easiest way I know of is this. As a global, set a timer with an interval
of every couple of mins (or however long you need it to be). When the
timer is done, so something like this would do
public void EnableMessageTimer()
{
timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
timer.Interval = 15000;
timer.Elapsed += new
System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);
timer.Start();
}
then in your timer_Elapsed call the webservice. Depending on what the
webservice does depends then on how you handle it. For example, if it's
an async service, when it returns if there is any UI output, you'll need
to use RunOnUiThread to jump onto the UI thread.
If the service isn't Async, you can use something like
System.Threading.Tasks or ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem and that will do
what you need.
