AsyncService uses annotations to shorten the code needed to start asynchronous long running tasks and return result

android-asyncservice's Issues

What's the difference between return and send? Why return at all?

I was checking out your library and I find it a little confusing:

Why do service methods return something? And what's the difference between sending a message and returning that same message?

As asynchronous calls, having return makes little sense to me. What's the logic behind it?

@ApplicationContext doesn't work with fragments.

Service field annotated with @ApplicationContext is null when injecting service into fragment.

Here's code from fragment:

    @InjectService
    PdfGeneratorService pdfGeneratorService;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        AsyncService.inject(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        AsyncService.unregister(this);
    }

PdfGeneratorService:

@AsyncService
public class PdfGeneratorService {

    @ApplicationContext
    static Context context;

    public File generateClassRecordsTable(List<Student> students) {
        return new ClassTableCreator(context, students, context.getFilesDir()).create();
    }

}

Further investigation lead me to AsyncService.java, and here's the code that supposed to get Application context from object.

    /**
     * If the given object contains an Android context, extract
     * the application context and retain it statically.
     */
    private static void extractContextFromObject(Object object) {
        if (context == null && object instanceof Context) {
            context = ((Context) object).getApplicationContext();
        }
    }

But fragments doesn't have context, so I need to have a way to pass some context while injecting into fragment. Maybe some kind of builder approach for this would be better for this?

how would you cancel the current running service?

i have tried almost everything to stop the current task, but it doesn't stop. is there any way to stop current running service?

Lifecycle Events...Use Returned Object Outside Callback...?

How to handle lifecycle events in the activities/fragments where the objects are returned?

In my analytics service I'm creating a mixpanel instance and returning it to the calling activity.

How do I use that object in OnResume or OnPause?

Or pretty much how do I use that object outside of the callback....

I'm having a issue understanding how to use the returned object outside on the @OnMessage
callback.....

java.lang.NullPointerException on compilation

So the library fails when I try to compile my project. I think I know what's the problem but I also think that you should explicitly state the limitation of your library in the README.

You can't use parametrized types in your method return type.

I keep getting the error in line

@CacheThenCall
    public ArrayList<Category> getCategoryList(String token) {...}

Can you explain the best way to return a list from asyncservice

What is the best practices to do a network call every hour ?

I have used the AsyncService for the network calls which cache that data. Now I wanted to call this network service every hour and keep it in the cache so that if there is no network then data can be picked from the cache. What's the best practice to implement this solution ?

Not working with Generic Type

It causes build errors when using the generic type.

Worst example ever

Init objects in service...

Let's say I have a analytic service, that's holding all my analytic provider method calls and inits...

in the @init of the service I initialize all of the providers I'm using

analyticService.java

@Init
public void init() {
        mixpanel = MixpanelAPI.getInstance(context, BuildConfig.MIXPANEL_KEY);
        appboyUser = Appboy.getInstance(context).getCurrentUser();
        segmentAnalytics = new Analytics.Builder(context, BuildConfig.SEGMENT_KEY).build();
}

Now when I make a call to a method in this service having to do with let's say mixpanel...

#MainActivity.java
analyticService.trackDataMixpanel()

#AnalyticService.java
public void trackDataMixpanel(){
.....
}

everytime I make that call all those other analytic service providers instances will intialize?
is that wrong? wasteful?

should I just have a initMixpanel() method in the analytic service?

but let's say I want to use the mixpanel instance or the appboy instance inside the analytic service...just call the initAppboy() method

trackEventsAllProviders(){
   initMixpanel()
   initAppboy()
   initSegment()
   do work.......
}

can you give me some pointers?

thanks!

Example use case...

This is a useful lib, lil tricky in implementing some possiblities nevertheless...

so, let's say I have tons of methods like this:

Analytics analytics = new Analytics.Builder(mContext, BuildConfig.SEGMENT_KEY).build();
        Analytics.setSingletonInstance(analytics);

 TypefaceHelper.initialize(this);

Foreground.init(this);

 Indicative.launch(getApplicationContext(), BuildConfig.INDICATIVE_API_KEY);
        final TwitterAuthConfig authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(BuildConfig.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
                BuildConfig.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET);

Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics(), new Twitter(authConfig),new MoPub());

that need initializing in the Application class for use throughout the app.

I want to speed up the app's startup so i want to async off load all the initializations i'm doing in the App class.

How would I go about doing that using Services and then bring the objects back into the Application class to be available throughout the app?

thanks for your work!

Can not cache object - ask make it serializable

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

I can not cache even POJO
What is the cache it uses? I guess, snappy db.
How can I change it?

Don't working with proguard

Can you post your proguard rules?

I can compile project with these rules, but when i try call service.doSomething(); App crashes from nullPointerException. Everything is fine without proguard

-dontwarn com.joanzapata.android.asyncservice.**
-dontwarn com.esotericsoftware.**
-dontwarn com.squareup.javawriter.**
-keep public class com.joanzapata.android.asyncservice.api.** {
public protected private *;
}

unable to call run method of task class which is resulting in blocking of thread

We have integrated Async library('android-asyncservice 1 ' ,"https://github.com/JoanZapata/android-asyncservice") in our Application, but we recently identified an issue regarding network calls. We are using async services for network call to our server, but services stop responding after X number of calls. While debugging the application, we have identified some findings that we would like to share with you and seek resolution to this problem.

While debugging BackgroundExecutor class we came across an unusual behaviour in directExecute method i.e. after submitting the runnable or the task to the executor, the overided run method of the corresponding task is never called that results in a blocker condition and no new task are executed and a deadlock is created.

Please advice if we missing anything or if there is any fix for this problem

Not injected is no @InjectService

The injectors should be generated for classes which are only using @OnMessage. Currently it needs to have an @InjectService annotation to be detected.

Rejecting re-init on previously-failed class java.lang.Class<com.joanzapata.android.asyncservice.api.internal.AsyncServiceCache>

Hi ,

Android - asyncservice is working in the my app and I get data response from cache aswell as from service.
But when I tested app on Mi 4i android phone , its is showing below error. This error come in Mi 4i device. I get the response when I don't use @CacheThenCall on Mi 4i.
