定时器从服务类调用并连接到EEG耳机时出错

Question

I have a problem with retrieving the correct values from my program. I am currently using the startService in order to start a Timer from a service class and be able to close it from my mainActivity class. The example that i am using activates the timer within the class and seems to be working just fine but the problem is i cant close it from my mainActivity class.

PS. I am using the EPOC+ EEG headset for my program.

This is my Activity Training Class

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

public class ActivityTraining extends Activity implements EngineInterface {

EngineConnector engineConnector;

Spinner spinAction;
Button btnTrain, btnClear;
ProgressBar progressBarTime,progressPower;
AdapterSpinner spinAdapter;
ImageView imgBox;
ArrayList<DataSpinner> model = new ArrayList<DataSpinner>();
int indexAction, _currentAction,userId=0,count=0;

Timer timer;
TimerTask timerTask;

float _currentPower = 0;
float startLeft = -1;
float startRight = 0;
float widthScreen = 0;

boolean isTraining =false;
ArrayList<Song> songList;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_trainning);
    engineConnector = EngineConnector.shareInstance();
    engineConnector.delegate = this;
    init();
    songList = (ArrayList<Song>) getIntent()
            .getSerializableExtra(MusicPhoneUtils.SONG_LIST_INTENT);
    Log.d("ActivityTraining", "GOT SONG COUNT = " + songList.size());

}

public void init() {
    spinAction=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinnerAction);
    btnTrain=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btstartTraing);
    btnClear=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btClearData);
    btnClear.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            switch (indexAction){
                case 0:
                    engineConnector.trainningClear(IEmoStateDLL.IEE_MentalCommandAction_t.MC_NEUTRAL.ToInt());
                    break;
                case 1:
                    engineConnector.trainningClear(IEmoStateDLL.IEE_MentalCommandAction_t.MC_PUSH.ToInt());
                    break;
                case 2:
                    engineConnector.trainningClear(IEmoStateDLL.IEE_MentalCommandAction_t.MC_PULL.ToInt());
                    break;
                case 3:
                    engineConnector.trainningClear(IEmoStateDLL.IEE_MentalCommandAction_t.MC_LEFT.ToInt());
                    break;
                case 4:
                    engineConnector.trainningClear(IEmoStateDLL.IEE_MentalCommandAction_t.MC_RIGHT.ToInt());
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
        }
    });

    progressBarTime=(ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressBarTime);
    progressBarTime.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    progressPower=(ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.ProgressBarpower);
    imgBox = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgBox);

    setDataSpinner();
    spinAction.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
            indexAction = arg2;
        }
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
            //TODO Auto-genereted method stub
        }
    });

Here is were i am calling the the service class to start

    Intent strtService = new Intent().setClass(getApplicationContext(), StartEndEpocService.class);
    startService(strtService);

And here is the were the original timer is located

    Timer timeListenAction = new Timer();
    timeListenAction.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            handlerUpdateUI.sendEmptyMessage(1);
        }
    }, 0, 20);

}

The connected method is being called from the Service class to pass the value to the handlerUpdateUI

public void connect() {
    handlerUpdateUI.sendEmptyMessage(1);
}


Handler handlerUpdateUI = new Handler(){
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
        switch (msg.what){
            case 0:
                count++;
                int trainninTime = (int)MentalCommandDetection.IEE_MentalCommandGetTrainingTime(userId)[1]/1000;
                if(trainninTime>0){
                    progressBarTime.setProgress(count/trainninTime);
                }
                if (progressBarTime.getProgress()>=100){
                    timerTask.cancel();
                    timer.cancel();
                }
                break;
            case 1:
                changePages();
            default:
                break;
        }
    };

Here is were the problem starts. When i calling the timer from the service class the values of _currentAction and _currentPower don't get updated into the class. The normal values after the EEG headset is connected should be as follows: _currentAction = 1 _currentPower = 0.0 Moreover it does not update the values in the class and it keeps returning the values of _currentAction = 0 and _currentPower = 0.0 Although that is normal because those are the values that the variable were declared in the beginning of the class.

When i am using the Timer within the ActivityTraining class the values get updated just fine.

@Override
public void currentAction(int typeAction, float power) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    progressPower.setProgress((int)(power*100));
    _currentAction = typeAction;
    _currentPower  = power;
}

public void TrainingHomePage(View v) {
    Intent goingB = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    setResult(RESULT_OK, goingB);
    finish();
}
}

This is my Service Class

import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.example.assiotiscy.headshake.MentalCommand.ActivityTraining;

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;


public class StartEndEpocService extends Service {

ActivityTraining activityTraining = new ActivityTraining();
Timer timeListenAction;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    //Toast.makeText(this, "service starting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    thread();

}

private void thread () {
    timeListenAction =new Timer();
    timeListenAction.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run () {

                activityTraining.connect();

        }
    },0,20);
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    return START_NOT_STICKY;
}

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    // We don't provide binding, so return null
    return null;
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {

    Toast.makeText(this, "Service Stopped...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    if (timeListenAction != null){
        timeListenAction.cancel();
        timeListenAction.purge();
    }
}
}

/ Finally this is my EngineConnector Class. /

I would like to know what the problem activating the timer from a service class might be.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

The problem to my Question was that since my ActivityTrainning class was already an activity and i was creating another object of it into the service class (ActivityTrainning activityTrainning = new ActivityTrainning()) then i had 2 different object of ActivityTrainning class.

A simple/good solution is the following:

Activity A should have a variable

static ActivityA activityA;

In onCreate state:

activityA = this;

and add this method:

public static ActivityA getInstance(){
    return   activityA;
}

In activity B, call:

ActivityA.getInstance().myFunction(); //call myFunction using activityA
