stop service in android
Here I tried simple service program. Start service works fine and generates Toast but stop service does not. The code of this simple service is as below:
public class MailService extends Service {
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
public void onCreate(){
super.onCreate();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void onDestroyed(){
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Destroyed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
super.onDestroy();
}
}
The code of the Activity from where this Service is called is as below:
public class ServiceTest extends Activity{
private Button start,stop;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.service_test);
start=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnStart);
stop=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnStop);
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
startService(new Intent(ServiceTest.this,MailService.class));
}
});
stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
stopService(new Intent(ServiceTest.this,MailService.class));
}
});
}
}
Help me to stop service with that stop button which generates toast in the onDestroy() method. I have already seen many posts regarding stop service problem here, but not satisfactory so posting new question. Hope for satisfactory answer.
onDestroyed()
is wrong name for
onDestroy()
Did you make a mistake only in this question or in your code too?
This code works for me: check this link
This is my code when i stop and start service in activity
case R.id.buttonStart:
Log.d(TAG, "onClick: starting srvice");
startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
break;
case R.id.buttonStop:
Log.d(TAG, "onClick: stopping srvice");
stopService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
break;
}
}
}
And in service class:
@Override
public void onCreate() {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");
player = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.braincandy);
player.setLooping(false); // Set looping
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onDestroy");
player.stop();
}
HAPPY CODING!
