Re: [android-developers] Update ad view every 30 seconds
No I got it working. The method Mark suggested was fine. Some error in R.java cause a resource on my sensor change to be reffered to as the same one, calling it again and again.

Re: [android-developers] Update ad view every 30 seconds
Why not use postDelayed()? It saves you a background thread, and your
Runnable gets invoked on the main application thread (which will be
necessary eventually for updating the ImageView or whatever the ad
banner is).
I haven't used Timer/TimerTask on Android. Nothing leaps out at me as
being an issue with the code snippet, other than the background
thread. Are you sure you're not accidentally scheduling lots of
timers?

Re: [android-developers] Update ad view every 30 seconds
I tried using a postDelayed like this:
final Runnable r = new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
myBanner.refresh();
handler.postDelayed(this, 1);
}
};
handler.postDelayed(r, 1);
It still doesn't work. It updates continuously, instead of the ten seconds I
specified.

Either you are calling this too often (thereby scheduling lots of

Re: [android-developers] Update ad view every 30 seconds
I am using the greystripe SDK, for which I need to call myBanner.refresh();.
the same call works fine in another one of my apps when I call it at game
over. However, here there is no moment at which I can call it and hence must
run it every 10 seconds. I only call the runnable in onCreate as you can
see:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
handler=new Handler();
myBanner = (BannerView) findViewById(R.id.gsBanner);
ads.initialize(this, mykey);
accelerationTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.acceleration);
maxAccelerationTextView = (TextView)
findViewById(R.id.maxAcceleration);
sensorManager = (SensorManager)
getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
Sensor accelerometer =
sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
sensorManager.registerListener(sensorEventListener, accelerometer,
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);
Timer updateTimer = new Timer(gForceUpdate);
updateTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
public void run(){
updateGUI();
}
}, 0, 5);
final Runnable r = new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
handler.postDelayed(this, 1);
myBanner.refresh();
}
};
handler.postDelayed(r, 1);
}
Does anything jump out at you?

Re: [android-developers] Update ad view every 30 seconds
Nothing obvious. Create yourself a scrap project that just does the
postDelayed() quasi-loop, logging to LogCat. You should see it simply
show up every 10 seconds.
