kill() mechanism, using existing API provided by the SDK. Manage your thread creation within a threadpool, and use Future. cancel() to kill the running thread: ExecutorService executorService = Executors.
Stopping a service. You stop a service via the stopService() method. No matter how frequently you called the startService(intent) method, one call to the stopService() method stops the service. A service can terminate itself by calling the stopSelf() method.
A background service performs an operation that isn't directly noticed by the user. For example, if an app used a service to compact its storage, that would usually be a background service.
To specify the thread on which to run the action, construct the Handler using a Looper for the thread. A Looper is an object that runs the message loop for an associated thread. Once you've created a Handler , you can then use the post(Runnable) method to run a block of code in the corresponding thread.
I am trying to establish a runnable which can load ads by every 5 sec interval (of course 5 sec is too fast, it's just for testing purpose)
Here is my code:
package com.admobsdk_dfp_handler;
import com.google.ads.*;
import com.google.ads.doubleclick.*;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
public class AdMobSDK_DFP_Handler extends Activity {
private DfpAdView adView;
private Handler handler = new Handler();
private Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
handler.postDelayed(this, 5000);
}
};
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_ad_mob_sdk__dfp__handler);
adView = new DfpAdView(
this,
AdSize.BANNER,
AD_UNIT_ID);
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);
layout.addView(adView);
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 5000);
};
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_ad_mob_sdk__dfp__handler,
menu);
return true;
}
}
If I press home button to hide the app to the background, the runnable keeps loading ads by 5 sec interval.
Is there any method to stop runnable when an app is hidden to the background? Many thanks.
