I have developed a service which includes timer task and runs after every 5 minutes for keeping tracking record of the device, every five minutes it adds a record to the database.
My service is working fine when the phone is not moving i.e it gives records after every 5 minutes as it should be. But i have noticed that when the phone is on move it updates the points after 10 or 20 minutes , i.e whenever the user stops in his way whenever he is on the move.
Do service freezes on the move, if yes! how is whatsapp messenger managing it??
Please help!
i am writing my onstart method. please help
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onStart");
mLocationClient.connect();
final Handler handler_service = new Handler();
timer_service = new Timer();
TimerTask thread_service = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
handler_service.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
some function of tracking
}
});
}
};
timer_service.schedule(thread_service, 1000, service_timing);
//sync thread
final Handler handler_sync = new Handler();
timer_sync = new Timer();
TimerTask thread_sync = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
handler_sync.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
//connecting to the central server for updation
Connect();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
}
});
}
};
timer_sync.schedule(thread_sync,2000, sync_timing);
}
