I have a strange problem and wondering if anyone ran into the same,
and was able to solve it.
I have a the following class that I use to connect to a service I
created. The catch is that I want to be able to start the service and
use it right away when the user clicks on a button.
Here is my class:
public class TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection implements
ServiceConnection {
Context context=null;
private boolean isBound=false;
private ITwitterSendService twittersendservice=null;
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
twittersendservice =
ITwitterSendService.Stub.asInterface((IBinder)
service);
SLog.DEBUG_verbose("TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(onServiceConnected)");
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
twittersendservice=null;
SLog.DEBUG_verbose("TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(onServiceDisconnected)");
}
public TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection() {
}
public TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(Context c) {
context=c;
}
public void releaseRemoteConnection() {
if (isBound==true) { context.unbindService(this); }
isBound=false;
}
public boolean initRemoteConnection(Context c) {
boolean ret=true;
context=c;
if (!isBound) {
Intent i = new Intent(ITwitterSendService.class.getName());
i.setClassName("com.jeanbombeur.smstoolbox",
com.jeanbombeur.smstoolbox.services.TwitterSendService.class.getName());
ret = context.bindService(i, this, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
SLog.DEBUG_verbose("Verbose:TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(initRemoteConnection)
Executed with return code:"+ret);
isBound=ret;
}
return ret;
}
// From the remote
public boolean testConnection(String text) {
SLog.DEBUG_verbose("Verbose:testconnection before trying
anything");
try {
return twittersendservice.testConnection(text);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
// e.printStackTrace();
SLog.DEBUG_verbose("testConnection
error:"+e.getMessage());
return false;
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
}
}
And the way I use it:
TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection tssrc=null;
In my button onClick:
tssrc=new TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(context);
tssrc.initRemoteConnection(context);
tssrc.testConnection("Hello World Here");
If I initialize my connection early, like when my activity is created,
and only later call my service with testConnection, it all works fine.
However when I try to initialize and directly use the connection, it
doesn't work.
It seems that the connection is not finished to be initialized when
the testconnection is called, and the testconnection failed. In my
logs, the "onServiceConnected" is only called -after- the
testConnection call.
I tried to put a thread sleep but it doesn't change anything... Anyone
knows what is the right way to do that? so I can use my AIDL
connection right after initializing it?
