After reading lots of sample code into this matter, I'm trying to
figure out the simplest way to achieve the following:
I want to be able to schedule an Intent that calls back to my Alarm
BroadcastReceiver, which in turn fires off my Service. However, I want
to set up so that it calls said Intent
of AlarmManager?

Also, the pending intents that I check with FLAG_NO_CREATE should be
checking if said intents returned null in order to set them.

I'm trying to set up a quick and dirty GPS lookup via LocationManager
which fetches a network location (within 500 meters) every half second
for ten seconds. In other words, I'm just trying to find the correct
coarse Criteria settings and the correct logic to stop checking after
10 seconds of no

So I want to achieve the following: suppose I have one Activity in my
app that generates an event that I want other Activities in my app's
back stack to know about so they can react to it accordingly (i.e.
update UI, refresh data via separate Thread, etc...). What strategies
would I have to pursue

Keep in mind that this is not a one-time event. Rather it is an event
that the user generates, all I want those other activities to know is
whether or not the event was generated by the user while in the
background.

If I recall correctly, ViewStub acts as a lazy XML include, in that the
referenced view only gets added to the view hierarchy in the time that it's
inflated, not ahead of time. The gain on this method is that it makes it
quick and cheap to inflate a view, however, once it's inflated, it cannot
Apparently, it was leaking memory due to the fact that I wasn't properly
unbinding from the service when exiting the activities. That and there were
certain cases where I wasn't carrying over the Service bindings when
rotating, thus it was creating a new connection every time. All is good now.
Targeting and building from API Level 4 and above.
Right now, I'm dealing with an issue in which I'm trying to maintain
bindings to my local service across multiple activities, and stop the
service when the last connection is unbound.
In a nutshell, my service just calls a system service in a
Sorry to bump the thread, but after creating a HandlerThread, all of the
locking stopped and the service stopped on a dime after unbinding even when
it waited for the allotted time before the next scan. Anyways, I was
wondering if I managed to implement it correctly:

So yeah, I managed to try calling the wifi scanner in this fashion within my
thread:
private Object _lock = new Object();
private final long SLEEP_TIME = 15000; //Scan every 15 secs
private final long WIFI_SCAN_TIMEOUT = 6; //One minute timeout
for getting called
I don't think it's doing any blocking operations at all since startScan
calls back onReceive rather quickly (even on a G1), and then I just use the
returned SSID data to call back to the activities bound to the service based
on the existence of a pre-determined SSID that I'm trying to find in
As the question implies, I am wondering how I could write a thread
that would call a system service and then wait a certain amount of
time before calling said system service's function that calls back to
onReceive from a registered BroadcastReceiver.
In other words, I am trying to call the Wifi
it sleep before the onReceive gets called
again?

I already know that I can pass Bundled data through setResult from one
Activity back to another. However, suppose I have an global Activity
that can be launched from anywhere in my app since it is mapped to a
button that appears in my title bar in almost all of my activities.
Long story short,
