Re: [android-developers] Service app without activities

it's not a Studio thing, it's an Android thing. You can not start a service until the user explicitly starts an activity first, this is to prevent a malicious app from covertly starting a service that does nasty things without the user ever knowing about it! You likely want to give the user some

Re: [android-developers] Service launch issues

In your manifest, the matching action="path.to.file.MainActivity" belongs to the service, and your code uses startActivity with this action. So first off, there is a mismatch in the component type. I'd guess this is the reason for the crash, but do check the logcat. Secondly, what is the purpose

When you say you receive callbacks from the service, there must be some call you are making on to it to register to receive the callback. You need to unregister this callback in onDestroy, through whatever mechanism the service provides. On Sat, Aug 27, 2011 at 9:56 AM, Jason wrote: > Hello all
