so then i wrote this tutorial:
First, Make an Activity file and named it: ServicesDemo.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class ServicesDemo extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private static final String TAG = "ServicesDemo";
Button buttonStart, buttonStop;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
buttonStart = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonStart);
buttonStop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonStop);
buttonStart.setOnClickListener(this);
buttonStop.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View src) {
switch (src.getId()) {
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 then create another activity and name it: MyService.java
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "MyService";
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onDestroy");
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onStart");
}
}
And then in your manifest put this code:
And lastly in your main.xml put this code:
