Hi all,
i'm trying to make service getting twitter update by a thread every
5secs
start service just fine and getting new twittes and inserting to
database but i cant close service and it continue working untill force
close
here is my code :
public class UpdaterServices extends Service {
private static final String TAG =
UpdaterServices.class.getSimpleName();
updater up;
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
up = new updater();
Log.d(TAG, "check on create");
}
@Override
public synchronized void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
if (up.isRunning() == false) {
up.start();
Log.d(TAG, "check onstart");
}
}
@Override
public synchronized void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (up.isRunning() == true) {
up.interrupt();
}
up = null;
Log.d(TAG, "check ondestroy");
}
class updater extends Thread {
final static int Delay = 5000;
private boolean running = false;
public void run() {
running = true;
while (running) {
try {
// ///open database and inserting what
we get from twitter
// into our sqlite new schema
DBHelper dhhelper = new
DBHelper(UpdaterServices.this);
SQLiteDatabase db =
dhhelper.getWritableDatabase();
Twitter twitter = ((MarkanaApplication)
getApplication())
.gettwitter();
List<Status> s =
twitter.getFriendsTimeline();
ContentValues value = new
ContentValues();
for (Status w : s) {
value.put(DBHelper.C_ID, w.id);
value.put(DBHelper.C_CreatedAt,
w.createdAt.getTime());
value.put(DBHelper.C_User,
w.user.name);
value.put(DBHelper.C_Text,
w.text);
try {
db.insertWithOnConflict(DBHelper.Table, null,
value,
SQLiteDatabase.CONFLICT_REPLACE);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
Log.d(TAG, String.format("%s
%s", w.user.name, w.text));
}
// ///close databases which we opened
db.close();
dhhelper.close();
Log.d(TAG, "running thread");
Thread.sleep(Delay);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
running = false;
}
}
}
public boolean isRunning() {
return running;
}
}
}
what is wrong in my code or how can stop service when user click on
stop ??
another question what better using Asynctask instead of service
cause i can control in it better than service or service just fine ??
