I would get rid of the broadcast receiver and just have the activity work with the service. > There is no erron in the codes but I can not excute what is want. > I meet a message like this "The application ServiceExample has stopped > unexpectedly.

You cannot call new RemoteService() to create an Android service. You need to call startService() with an appropriate Intent to start up your RemoteService. And, bear in mind that the service will not be started until after your onReceive() method returns. 3. You cannot call methods on a service from a BroadcastReceiver very easily. I would strongly recommend you find some other solution (e.g., put extras on the Intent you use with startService(), so your service learns what to do from those extras alone). You can see an example of a BroadcastReceiver using startService() to start up a service here: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/SystemServices/Alarm/ -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
