Hi. I need to made an activity (without layout) that on start check if a service is running. if it is true it starts Activity2, if it false it starts Activity1. I tried with this code:
public class FirstActivity extends Activity{
    private final Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(ServiceConnected.class
                    .getName());
    private ServiceConnected serviceConnected;
    private final ServiceConnection serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
            @Override
            public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
                    serviceConnected = ServiceConnected.Stub.asInterface(service);
                    Log.e("Connessione al Servizio", "onServiceConnected");
                    Toast.makeText(FirstActivity.this, "Connessione con il Service Effettuata", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            @Override
            public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
                    Log.e("Disconnessione dal servizio", "onServiceDisconnected");
                    Toast.makeText(FirstActivity.this, "Scollegamento effettuato", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
    };
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
            setContentView(R.layout.firstactivity);
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            bindRemoteService();
            Log.e("Dopo Bind onCreate","FirstActivity");
            if(serviceConnected!=null)
                    try {
                            boolean temp=serviceConnected.getConnected();
                            Log.e("ServiceConnected",Boolean.toString(temp));
                            if(temp==true){
                                    Log.e("Salto alla seconda","FirstActivity");
                                    step2();
                            }
                            else{
                                    Log.e("Salto alla prima","FirstActivity");
                                    step1();
                            }
                    } catch (RemoteException e) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            Log.e("Errore Step","FirstActivity");
                    }
    }
    public void bindRemoteService() {
            if (serviceConnected == null) {
                    if( bindService(serviceIntent, serviceConnection,
                                    Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE) ){
                            Log.e("Bind Effettuato", "bindRemoteService");
                            Toast.makeText(this, "Service Binded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
            }
    }
    private void step2(){
            Intent intent;
            intent=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Activity2.class);
            startActivity(intent);
    }
    private void step1(){
            Intent intent;
            intent=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Activity1.class);
            startActivity(intent);
    }
enter code here
but when I check, in the onCreate method, if serviceConnect!=null I receive sometime a NullPointerExcption.
I tried also to insert the operation in the method onCreate in an Async Task:
private class BackgroundWorker extends AsyncTask<Void,Integer, Void> {
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute () {
        Log.e("BackgroundWorker","onPreExecute");
        super.onPreExecute();
    }
    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground ( Void... params ) {
        Log.e("Dentro Background Worker", "DOIN");
        bindRemoteService();
        publishProgress(1);
        //publishProgress(2);
        return null;
    }
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    protected void onProgressUpdate ( Integer... values ) {
        try{    
            do{
                try {
                    if (serviceConnected!=null&&checked==true){
                        boolean temp=serviceConnected.getConnected();
                        if(temp==true){
                            Log.e("Salto alla seconda","FirstActivity");
                            Log.e("ServiceConnected",Boolean.toString(temp));
                            step2();
                        }
                        else if(temp==false){
                            Log.e("Salto alla prima","FirstActivity");
                            Log.e("ServiceConnected",Boolean.toString(temp));
                            step1();
                        }
                    }
                } catch (RemoteException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    Log.e("Errore Step",e.toString());
                }
            }while(checked==false);
        }catch(Exception e){Log.e("Errore do",e.toString());};
    }
}
But I have the same problem. Someone knows how I can fix this? Thanks
