}We also need to add our service to AndroidManifest.xml, so add <service
android:name = ".PostMonitor" /> inside the
At this point, your project will still compile and run, though our service is
not yet doing anything.
Step #2: Set Up a Background Thread...............................................
Next, we need a well-managed background thread that can do our timeline
polling for us.
First, add an import for java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean, along
with a private AtomicBoolean data member named active. Initialize this to
true.
Also, define a static int value named POLL_PERIOD to be the amount of time
you want between timeline polling operations. Please make this no less
than 60000 (one minute in milliseconds).
Then, create a Runnable named threadBody that will loop, sleeping
POLL_PERIOD each pass, until active is toggled to false:
private Runnable threadBody=new Runnable() {
public void run() {
while (active.get()) {
// do something with TwitterSystemClock.sleep(POLL_PERIOD);
