android - Not receiving CountDownTimer callbacks in Service -

i have bound service collects locations 3 minutes every 15 minutes. start countdowntimer 1 time service connected in onserviceconnected of serviceconnection. receive timer callbacks (onfinish) (ontick) far activity bindservice visible. when device locked not receive updates timer.

mylocationservice

public class mylocationservice extends service implements mytimerlistener{ private ibinder mbinder = new mylocationbinder(); public void oncreate() { locationmanager = new mylocationmanager(this); } @override public ibinder onbind(intent arg0) { homecoming mbinder; } public class mylocationbinder extends binder { public mylocationservice getservice() { homecoming mylocationservice.this; } } public void startfetchinglocations() { if(locationmanager != null){ locationmanager.startfetchinglocations(); if(publishperiodcountdowntimer != null) { publishperiodcountdowntimer.cancel(); publishperiodcountdowntimer = null; } publishperiodcountdowntimer = new mycounttimer(gpspublishperiod * 60 * 1000, 1000, mylocationservice.this); publishperiodcountdowntimer.start(); } } @override public void ontimefinished() { //start fetching locations locationmanager.startfetchinglocations(); //start 3 min countdowntimer } @override public void ontick() { } public void onalllocationsrecieved(arraylist<location> locations) { //do stuff on locations locationmanager.stopfetchinggps(); //stops 3 min countdowntimer } }

myactivty

public class myactivity { @override protected void onstart() { super.onstart(); btnstop.setvisibility(view.visible); mynoificationmanager.cancelallnotifications(); if (!islocationservicebound) { intent locserviceintent = new intent(this, mylocationservice.class); bindservice(locserviceintent, locationserviceconnection, context.bind_auto_create); } } private serviceconnection locationserviceconnection = new serviceconnection(){ @override public void onservicedisconnected(componentname name) { islocationservicebound = false; } @override public void onserviceconnected(componentname name, ibinder service) { mylocationbinder locationbinder = (mylocationbinder) service; locationservice = locationbinder.getservice(); islocationservicebound = true; locationservice.startfetchinglocations(); } }; }

it works expected when activity visible. timer doesn't provide ontick() or ontimefinished() callbacks when device locked. problem here ?

the countdowntimer not work when phone goes sleep mode. design , it's save battery life.

alternately can utilize android.app.alarmmanager instead accomplish goal. next sample code how that. set alaram below

alarmmanager alarmmanager = (alarmmanager) getsystemservice(context.alarm_service); intent intent = new intent(this, mylocationservice.class); intent.putextra("need_to_fetch_loc", true); pendingintent alarmintent = pendingintent.getbroadcast(this, 0, intent, 0); alarmmanager.set(alarmmanager.rtc_wakeup, gpspublishperiod * 60 * 1000, alarmintent);

add next method mylocationservice class

@override public int onstartcommand(intent intent, int flags, int startid) { if(locationmanager!= null && intent.getbooleanextra("need_to_fetch_loc", false)) { locationmanager.startfetchinglocations(); } homecoming super.onstartcommand(intent, flags, startid); }
