I need to create two Android apps.
App1 - displays a user message (ie, "Hello World") from the user, and App2 displays a message in the Console view through ADB Logcat. A message from App1 must be sent to App2 through Intents. App2 must be a service
I am not sure whether to use Serviceor IntentServicefor App2. If I create a service for App2. Will I be able to use it using Implicit Intent , like this:
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent("com.example.vinitanilgaikwad.app2");
bindService(serviceIntent, myConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
Could you advise me how I should proceed?
My App1 has the following source code classes.
App1 : DisplayMessageActivity
public class DisplayMessageActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_message);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setTextSize(40);
textView.setText(message);
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.content);
layout.addView(textView);
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent("com.example.vinitanilgaikwad.app2");
bindService(serviceIntent, myConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
startService(serviceIntent);
}
Messenger myService = null;
boolean isBound;
private ServiceConnection myConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder service) {
myService = new Messenger(service);
isBound = true;
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
myService = null;
isBound = false;
}
};
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
unbindService(myConnection);
}
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Message msg = Message.obtain();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("MyString", "Vinit");
msg.setData(bundle);
try {
myService.send(msg);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
App2 .
App2: MessengerService
package com.example.vinitanilgaikwad.app2;
public class MessengerService extends Service {
class IncomingHandler extends Handler {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
Log.i("dddsds","fsdfdsfsfs");
Bundle data = msg.getData();
String dataString = data.getString("MyString");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
dataString, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d("Me123",dataString);
}
}
final Messenger myMessenger = new Messenger(new IncomingHandler());
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return myMessenger.getBinder();
}
}
App2: AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
