ya you are right but in my code in doServiceWork() method its not
working
public class TestService extends Service
{
public static FileScanner MAIN_ACTIVITY;
private Timer timer=new Timer();
private static long UPDATE_INTERVAL = 1*60*10; //default
private static long DELAY_INTERVAL = 0;
// hooks main activity here
public static void setMainActivity(FileScanner activity)
{
MAIN_ACTIVITY = activity;
}
/*
* not using ipc...but if we use in future
*/
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
_startService();
if (MAIN_ACTIVITY != null) Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(),
"FileScannerService started");
}
@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
super.onDestroy();
_shutdownService();
if (MAIN_ACTIVITY != null) Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(),
"FileScannerService stopped");
}
/*
* starting the service
*/
private void _startService()
{
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(
new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
try{
doServiceWork();
Thread.sleep(UPDATE_INTERVAL);
}catch(InterruptedException ie){
Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(),
"FileScannerService InterruptedException"+ie.toString());
}
}
},
DELAY_INTERVAL,
UPDATE_INTERVAL);
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "FileScannerService Timer
started....");
}
/*
* start the processing, the actual work, getting config params,
get data from network etc
*/
private void doServiceWork()
{
///code for work to be done
}
/*
* shutting down the service
*/
private void _shutdownService()
{
if (timer != null) timer.cancel();
Log.i(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Timer stopped...");
}
}
