[android-developers] Updating a service with data from an activity

[Ab Caballero]

I need to send data from an activity to a persistently running GPS
service and I'm not certain how to do this. Below is the code from my
activity and service. ANY help is greatly appreciated.

//%%
// THIS IS THE ACTIVITY
//%%%

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.tripinformation);


Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.pickup_load);
button.setOnClickListener(mPickupListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.deliver_load);
button.setOnClickListener(mDeliveryListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.pickup_delivery);
button.setOnClickListener(mPickupDeliveryListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.railhead);
button.setOnClickListener(mRailHeadListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.warehouse);
button.setOnClickListener(mWarehouseListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.other);
button.setOnClickListener(mOtherLocationListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.gate);
button.setOnClickListener(mGateListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.terminal);
button.setOnClickListener(mTerminalListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.traffic);
button.setOnClickListener(mTrafficListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.onbreak);
button.setOnClickListener(mBreakListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.fueling);
button.setOnClickListener(mFuelingListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.closed);
button.setOnClickListener(mDestinationClosedListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.closed);
button.setOnClickListener(mPaperworkListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.paperwork);
button.setOnClickListener(mEquipmentListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.equipment);
button.setOnClickListener(mOtherIssueListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.other_issue);
//Return to the LoginActivity
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Back);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
finish();
}
});
}

//
//  Set the listeners
//  The data from these button presses need to be sent to the
main service
//

private OnClickListener mPickupListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Pickup);
}
};
  private OnClickListener mDeliveryListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Delivery);
}
  };
  private OnClickListener mPickupDeliveryListener = new
OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Pickup/Delivery);
}
};

private OnClickListener mRailHeadListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Railhead);
}
};

private OnClickListener mWarehouseListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Warehouse);
}
};
  private OnClickListener mOtherLocationListener = new
OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(OtherLocation);
}
  };
private OnClickListener mGateListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Gate);
}
};
private OnClickListener mTerminalListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Terminal);
}
};
private OnClickListener mTrafficListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Traffic);
}
};
private OnClickListener mBreakListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Break);

}
};
private OnClickListener mFuelingListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(Fueling);
}
};
private OnClickListener mDestinationClosedListener = new
OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
getStatus(DestClosed);
}
};
private OnClickListener mPaperworkListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
