I'm in the process of writing an app that will act like a thermostat for an external cooker. The Android will connect to the cooker via an IOIO, monitor the temperature, and raise/lower the heat to keep the cooker at a set temperature. As I see it there are two components:
1) Service that monitors the temps and adjusts the heat. 2) UI that lets user view the temperature and change thermostat value. This component makes requests to the service for data updates. What kind of service should I use? I've tried creating an IntentService with a background thread that runs in a loop to monitor the temp. The onHandleIntent() method handles the requests from the UI for updates. Is this a reasonable way to do this? If so my problem is that the IntentService shuts down after the onHandleIntent() finishes; how do I prevent this? Thanks for any help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
