I am developing an Android Wear OS 2.0 application. Every time a user gets an SMS from a given number, the watch should start vibrating, and a UI with a given text should appear, with a button, which stops the vibration. It works in the following way:
In the SmsReciever.java
I'm checking if the phone number is matching, or the UI screen is already active.
public class SmsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
//interface
private static SmsListener mListener;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle data = intent.getExtras();
Object[] pdus = (Object[]) data.get("pdus");
for(int i=0;i<pdus.length;i++){
SmsMessage smsMessage = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i], "3gpp");
String sender = smsMessage.getDisplayOriginatingAddress();
String alertPhoneNumber = "301112233";
if (sender.toLowerCase().contains(alertPhoneNumber.toLowerCase()))
{
String messageBody = smsMessage.getMessageBody();
//Pass the message text to interface
mListener.messageReceived(messageBody);
} else if (AlarmActivity.active) {
Intent intent1 = new Intent();
intent1.setClassName("hu.asd.watchtest", "hu.asd.watchtest.AlarmActivity");
intent1.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent1);
}
}
}
public static void bindListener(SmsListener listener) {
mListener = listener;
}
}
I have needed the else if part, because sometimes when the UI was active, and I've received a new message, the vibration stopped. So that part starts the AlarmActivity
(which handles the vibrating).
In the MainActivity.java
I'm binding a new listener, so now every time I get the right message in the SmsReciever
, the AlarmActivity
should run:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
requestPermissions(Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_SMS, PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_RECEIVE_SMS);
SmsReceiver.bindListener(new SmsListener() {
@Override
public void messageReceived(String messageText) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, AlarmActivity.class);
MainActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
}
In the AlarmActivity.java
the application wakes the screen up, then gets the Vibrator
, sets the onClickListeners to the stop vibrating button, and then starts the actual vibration. I also change the active state here:
public class AlarmActivity extends WearableActivity {
static boolean active = false;
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
active = true;
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
active = true;
}
@Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
active = false;
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
active = false;
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_alarm);
PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
final PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP|PowerManager.SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK,
"MyWakelockTag");
wakeLock.acquire();
findViewById(R.id.stop_button).getBackground().setLevel(5000);
final Vibrator vibrator = (Vibrator) getSystemService(VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
final long[] mVibratePattern = new long[]{0, 400, 800, 600, 800, 800, 800, 1000};
final int[] mAmplitudes = new int[]{0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 255};
final Button stopButton = findViewById(R.id.stop_button);
stopButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
vibrator.cancel();
wakeLock.release();
new SendEmail().execute();
Intent myIntent = new Intent(AlarmActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
AlarmActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
setAmbientEnabled();
vibrator.vibrate(VibrationEffect.createWaveform(mVibratePattern, mAmplitudes, 0)); // 0 to repeat endlessly.
}
}
If the user presses the Button, then the MainActivity starts again. The problem is, that out of 50 cases, I can send multiple text messages, the watch will vibrate until I press the stop button, but in 1 case, it'll only vibrate once, then it will stop vibrating. It usually happens, if the AlarmActivity
is active already and vibrating, or vibration was cancelled before. I'm guessing that I do way to much work with intents, or something with the Vibrator instances? Or when I get a new text, the watch requires the Vibrator, and my Application can't get it?
This is my first Android application, and I tried a lot of different implementations, but still not perfect.
