Attach a View as Foreground Service On Oreo

271 views Asked by At

I'm trying to update a foreground service where a layout appear in front of other apps like Facebook Messenger's talking head. It has no background service. The foreground service operates successfully without the setView(). When I set the view to the window manager I get

android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running?

I cannot figure out how to set the token to not be null. Any insight would be helpful.

Activity

 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    Button btnStartService, btnStopService;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        btnStartService = findViewById(R.id.buttonStartService);
        btnStopService = findViewById(R.id.buttonStopService);
        btnStartService.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                startService();
            }
        });
        btnStopService.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                stopService();
            }
        });
    }
    public void startService() {
        Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
        serviceIntent.putExtra("inputExtra", "Foreground Service Example in Android");
        ContextCompat.startForegroundService(this, serviceIntent);
    }
    public void stopService() {
        Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
        stopService(serviceIntent);
    }
}

Service

public class ForegroundService extends Service {

int LAYOUT_FLAG;
WindowManager windowManager;
View mFloatingView;

public static final String CHANNEL_ID = "ForegroundServiceChannel";

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    String input = intent.getStringExtra("inputExtra");
    createNotificationChannel();
    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,
            0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE);
    Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
            .setContentTitle("Foreground Service")
            .setContentText(input)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
            .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
            .build();
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"onStartCommand",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    **makeWindow();**

    startForeground(1, notification);
    //do heavy work on a background thread
    //stopSelf();
    return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
**public void makeWindow(){**
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>= Build.VERSION_CODES.O){
        LAYOUT_FLAG = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY;
    }else{
        LAYOUT_FLAG = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE;
    }
    windowManager = (WindowManager)this.getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);

    mFloatingView = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.layout_widget,null);


    WindowManager.LayoutParams layoutParams = new WindowManager
            .LayoutParams(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LAYOUT_FLAG,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
    //initial position
    layoutParams.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.END;
    layoutParams.x = 0;
    layoutParams.y = 100;
    mFloatingView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
    mFloatingView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    **windowManager.addView(mFloatingView,layoutParams);**

}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
}

                NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
        );

        manager.createNotificationChannel(serviceChannel);
