hi, can anybody help - ive got an intent receiver that starts a
service, and i want to send data via the intent for the service OR a
bundle - neither seem to work. my data is always empty strings, as
initialized in the service .
i thought onStart of the service was the place to pick up the data -
even when i hard code my userid, password, and email in the onStart of
my service, i still get empty strings.????? arggh!
intent receiver and service follow.
tyia,
fran w
import org.apache.android.mailContactsOften.GetContacts;
import android.app.Service;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Binder;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.os.Parcel;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class GetContacts extends Service
{
String pList = "";
String st = "";
String userid = "";
String password="";
String email="";
public void onStart(Intent in, Bundle b)
{
//userid = b.getString("userid");
//password = b.getString("password");
//email = b.getString("email");
userid = in.getStringExtra("userid");
password = in.getStringExtra("password");
email = in.getStringExtra("email");
//NOTE: hard coding of userid, password and email here STILL
results
// empty strings being passed to run()
}
@Override
protected void onCreate()
{
Thread thr = new Thread(null, mTask, "GetContacts");
thr.start();
}
/**
* The function that runs in our worker thread
*/
Runnable mTask = new Runnable() {
public void run()
{
// Normally we would do some work here...
// get the contact string and call send to send the info
String body = getContactStr();
// send the data
SendContacts s = new SendContacts (body,userid, password,
email);
// Done with our work... stop the service!
GetContacts.this.stopSelf();
}
};
.... rest of service routines, etc.
here is the intent receiver
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentReceiver;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class EmailContactsRepeat extends IntentReceiver
{
String userid ;
String password ;
String email ;
@Override
public void onReceiveIntent(Context context, Intent intent)
{
//get bundle of extras (userid, passwork, email) from intent
userid = intent.getStringExtra("userid");
password = intent.getStringExtra("password");
email = intent.getStringExtra("email");
//context.startService(new Intent(context, GetContacts.class),
// null);
Intent conintent = new Intent(context, GetContacts.class);
//bundle data for conintent
// bundle extras (data) with the intent.
conintent.putExtra("userid", userid);
conintent.putExtra("password", password);
conintent.putExtra("email", email);
Bundle b= new Bundle();
b.putString("userid", userid);
b.putString("password", password);
b.putString("email", email);
context.startService(conintent,b);
}
}
