Can I call stopSelf() in Service.onStartCommand?
Solution 1:
is it bad form to call stopSelf() while inside a onStartCommand() method?
Off the top of my head, I can't think of why that would be a problem.
stopSelf(), like a lot of stuff in Android, has no immediate effect. It puts a message on the message queue processed by the main application thread. The actual work of stopping the service will not even begin until sometime after onStartCommand() has returned.
