I have an android activity where there is an EditText and as user types in, it calls the service on every key typed. I believe this is not efficient because more than required calls are being made. So the solution is to have some sort of pause checking there.
if (PauseOfThreeSeconds) {
// call the service here
}
How can I sense a pause and then only call the service?
Start a handler with post delayed for 3 seconds every time the key stroke is made. When ever you get a key store, cancel the runnable that is already in the queue and start a new runnable like i mentioned above.
