Hi,
I'm having a problem with my IntentService. Every time I start my
service, the onDestroy() method is called as soon as the service
becomes idle. I set up my service to run in the foreground, and
despite this the service is still being killed right away. I have only
one other activity in my application, and it is not calling
stopService().
Reading the developer docs gives me the impression that calling
startForeground() will allow your service to persist, even when idle,
except when there is an very high demand for memory, or am I reading
this wrong?
My code below:
public class FileMonitorService extends IntentService {
public int mNotifyId = 273;
public FileMonitorService(){
super("FileMonitorService");
}
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent arg0) {
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, getText(R.string.toast_service_stop),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
stopForeground(true);
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon,
getText(R.string.notification_short), System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.flags|=Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this,
FileMonitorActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this,
getText(R.string.notification_short),getText(R.string.notification_long),
pendingIntent);
startForeground(mNotifyId, notification);
Toast.makeText(this, getText(R.string.toast_service_start),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}
}
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Chris
