I try to integrate the beaconinside sdk into my app and I want to receive the events sent through the Beaconservice even when my app is closed and removed from the app drawer (recent apps).
Now my code looks like so
BeaconFragment
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// init beaconinside sdk using my token
BeaconService.init(this, API_TOKEN);
}
BeaconHandler
public class BeaconHandler extends BroadcastReceiver {
// ...
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// ...
}
}
BackgroundBeaconService
public class BackgroundBeaconservice extends IntentService {
// ...
public void onCreate() {
// setup intent filter for beacon events
IntentFilter beaconListenerFilter = new IntentFilter();
// add intent filter for BeaconService (e.g. REGION_ENTER)
// beacon event handler
beaconListener = new BeaconHandler(this);
// register the event handler to the LocalBroadcastManager
registerBeaconEventHandler(beaconListener, beaconListenerFilter);
}
private void registerBeaconEventHandler(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter filter) {
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
}
}
So far it works but when I close the app from the recent app drawer, it stops working. I wrote to the Tech Support of Beaconinside and they told me to use a Service to receive events from the LocalBroadcastManager in the background.
Which aspects of my code do I need to move in the service class and which can stay where they are?
