在OnClick android上启动后台服务

Question

I want to make an app in which when start is clicked the phone should detect a free fall and should scream.

Basically, when the user clicks the start button the service should start recording Accelerometer reading and detect a free fall and the phone should scream and when he clicks stop the service should terminate.

I am having very basic knowledge about coding. I have written some codes which i have shared below. But the app is not working please help me correct the codes.

This is the Main_Activity.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/main_status"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/start_button"
        android:layout_marginTop="18dp"
        android:padding="4.0dip"
        android:text="@string/Welcome" 
        android:textStyle="bold"       />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/start_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="57dp"
        android:onClick="startWatcherService"
        android:text="@string/start" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/stop_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginRight="62dp"
        android:text="@string/stop" 
        android:onClick="stopWatcherService"
        />

</RelativeLayout>

This is the Android_Manifest.xml

 <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="14"
        android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.sitc.fallscream.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name="com.sitc.fallscream.WatcherService"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_watcher_service" >
        </activity>
        <service android:name="com.sitc.fallscream.WatcherService"/>
    </application>

</manifest>

This is the Main_Activity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

TextView mMainStatus;
Button mStartButton;


class C01891 implements OnClickListener{
    C01891(){

    }

    public void onClick(View v) {
        Log.i("MainActivity", "Start button clicked.");
        if(WatcherService.g_WatcherIsRunning){
            MainActivity.this.stopWatcherService();
        } else{
            MainActivity.this.startWatcherService();
        }
    }
}

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    setVolumeControlStream(4);
    this.mStartButton = (Button) findViewById (id.start_button);
    this.mStartButton.setOnClickListener(new C01891());
    this.mMainStatus = (TextView) findViewById(id.main_status);
    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
    filter.addAction(WatcherService.WATCHER_SERVICE_STATUS_CHANGED);

}


private void startWatcherService() {
    startService(new Intent (this,WatcherService.class));       
}

private void stopWatcherService() {
    sendBroadcast (new Intent(WatcherService.STOP_WATCHER_SERVICE));

This is the WatcherService.java

    }

}


public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {

}

}

Please Help

Answer 1

Start background service on button click by following code:

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(YourActvity.this, MyBackgroundService.class);
            startService(startServiceIntent);
        }

    });

Answer 2

start_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            startService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), WatcherService.class));

        }});

stop_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            stopService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), WatcherService.class));

        }});

Answer 3

Try This :

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

      Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, WatcherService.class);  
      startService(intent);

      // OR
      startService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, WatcherService.class));

    }

});

Answer 4

Replace your onclick methods with these ...

   private void startWatcherService(View v) {
startService(new Intent (this,WatcherService.class));       
}
private void stopWatcherService(View v) {
sendBroadcast (new Intent(WatcherService.STOP_WATCHER_SERVICE));        
}

Answer 5

Try making public the click listeners:

public void startWatcherService() {
    startService(new Intent (this,WatcherService.class));       
}

public void stopWatcherService() {
    sendBroadcast (new Intent(WatcherService.STOP_WATCHER_SERVICE));        
}
