I have written a program in which I am using Timer and controlling that timer using Toggle states.
Toggle's default state is OFF, once I make changes in toggle state from OFF to ON Timer starts, and when I again change to OFF it stops the Timer as per requirement.
But problem starts when my Timer is ON and I switch to other activity and then again come back to ToggleActivity and then do changes in toggle state from ON to OFF - it still runs Timer...
Note: when I use finish() or back press, in place of Intent to come back to ToggleActivity everything works fine, but when I use Intent facing such issues..
ToggleActivity.java:
public class ToggleActivity extends Activity implements OnCheckedChangeListener {
ToggleButton toggleButton;
TextView text;
Timer timer;
TimerTask timerTask;
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Button btnSwitchActivity;
boolean toggleState;
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_toggle);
toggleButton = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.toggleButton);
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
btnSwitchActivity = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSwitchActivity);
sharedPreferences = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("toggleState",0);
btnSwitchActivity.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intentSwitchActivity = new Intent(ToggleActivity.this, SwitchActivity.class);
startActivity(intentSwitchActivity);
}
});
}
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton arg0, boolean isChecked) {
if(isChecked)
{
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putBoolean("toggleState", true);
editor.commit();
text.setText("ON");
startTimer();
} else
{
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putBoolean("toggleState", false);
editor.commit();
text.setText("OFF");
if (timer != null) {
timer.cancel();
timer = null;
}
}
}
public void startTimer() {
timer = new Timer();
initializeTimerTask();
timer.schedule(timerTask, 1000, 5000);
}
public void stoptimertask(View v) {
if (timer != null) {
timer.cancel();
timer = null;
}
}
public void initializeTimerTask() {
timerTask = new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd:MMMM:yyyy HH:mm:ss a");
final String strDate = simpleDateFormat.format(calendar.getTime());
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), strDate, duration);
toast.show();
}
});
}
};
}
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
toggleState = sharedPreferences.getBoolean("toggleState", false);
Log.v("toggleState", Boolean.toString(toggleState));
if (toggleState) {
toggleButton.setChecked(true);
text.setText("ON");
} else {
toggleButton.setChecked(false);
text.setText("OFF");
}
toggleButton.setChecked(toggleState);
toggleButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
toggleButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener(null);
}
}
SwitchActivity.java
public class SwitchActivity extends Activity {
Button btnToggleActivity;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_switch);
btnToggleActivity = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnToggleActivity);
btnToggleActivity.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent(SwitchActivity.this, ToggleActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
/**
* if i use finish instead of Intent to switch to ToggleActivity
* my Timer works fine
*/
// finish
}
});
