Force stop "syncing" about comicreader HOT 10 OPEN

Can we get a little more detail on this? When do you want to force stop syncing?

from comicreader.

When sync is in progress and is taking a lot of time (or is hung), then there should be option to stop sync.
Currently stopping this is possible only by stopping application in a task manager app.
Something like long click on notification will give a pop up to stop syncing, or a stop button in the notification itself.

I have done some review of this I cannot find any tutorial to do long press identification. I have a stackoverflow bounty on this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7003592/android-catch-events-on-notification-long-press.

We can also implement buttons but they are pretty ugly: The second answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10516722/android-notification-with-buttons-on-it

I was looking at my phone today, on android 4.2, and when the alarm went off it had an option in the notification bar: snooze and disable. I didn't find online how to create those buttons.

Yup! Even I tried to do some research of my own and couldn't find any helpful pointers on this.
Agree. IMO, buttons on notifications are ugly.

I think just clicking on the notification should open the app and pop up a dialogue, "would you like to cancel sync?" Cm does that with their download notification.

Just a thought - since now there is an option of disabling display of notifications, force closing sync for those people who have disabled this wouldn't be possible.

Popup dialog in app looks a good solution though.

I will add it to menu. Stop sync. Which pops up would you like to stop syncing?

from comicreader.

I was referring to your suggestion only "clicking on the notification should open the app and pop up a dialogue".

from comicreader.

I did a brute force way. suggested here with inturrupts checking often in code:

I added a menu button because, I didn't know how to do the pop up dialogue. Will submit code tomorrow.
