[android-developers] Cant stop service

2011-06-20 Thread Boozel 
Hi
I have a toggle button which i use to start and stop a service
When i press the button the service starts fine but i cant seem to stop it.
The boolean a in my code below return true but the service keeps running.
What am i doing wrong? any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

toggle = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.toggle);
toggle.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
boolean checked = toggle.isChecked();
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putBoolean(toggle, checked);
editor.commit();
Intent toggleIntent = new Intent(MyActivity.this, 
MyService.class);
if (checked) {

try
{ComponentName a = startService(toggleIntent);
Log.w(TAG,toggle Enabled: +a.toString());}
catch (Exception e)
{Log.i(TAG,Cannot Start toggleService: 
+e.getMessage());
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), Cannot Start 
toggleService:\n +
e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} else {

try{boolean a = stopService(toggleMapIntent);
Log.w(TAG,toggle Disabled: +a);}
catch (Exception e)
{Log.i(TAG,Cannot Stop toggleService: 
+e.getMessage());
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), Cannot Stop 
toggleService:\n +
e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}
}
}
});

Do you have any code that binds to this service?

Re: [android-developers] Cant stop service

Ok.

Your code calls startService and stopService with different Intent objects:
toggleIntent vs. toggleMapIntent.

Does the stop intent actually point to the service you want to stop?

If not, you are stopping someone else's service.

Re: [android-developers] Cant stop service

2011-06-20 Thread Boozel 
sorry i changed the variable names to make it more readable they are 
actually both the same intent  toggleIntent declared above.
Could it be because the intent would essentially be redeclared each time the 
button is pressed with the line  Intent toggleIntent = new 
Intent(MyActivity.this, MyService.class); ?

Re: [android-developers] Cant stop service

2011-06-20 Thread Dianne Hackborn 
You are responsible for stopping whatever work your service does in its
onDestroy().

You can look at the current state of all actively running services with adb
shell dumpsys activity services.  Make sure your service is actually in
there.  If it isn't, you aren't cleaning up your worker.
