My app requirements
The application will have an activity and a service.
The service has a sms contentobserver.
After application installation the Service should run all the time irrespective of application active or not
The registration and unregistration of contentobserver inside the service should be controlled from the activity.
On uninstallation of the application the service should be destroyed.
I tried some code. In oncreate of the service i have done resgitartion of content observer and ondestroy i unregistered it. I have used start and stop service from the activity. But even after stop service the onchange method of the content observer is still getting called.
please let me know some sample code and the manifest definition of this service.
public class MyActivity extends ListActivity implements OnInitListener {
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy(); // let it be here as per the android TTS samples
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent sintent = new Intent(MyActivity.this,MyService.class);
MyActivity.this.startService(sintent);
}
private boolean SSMyservice() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//stop service
Intent sintent = new Intent(MyActivity.this,MyService.class);
MyActivity.this.stopService(sintent);
//do some work
//start service again
MyActivity.this.startService(sintent); //start service again
return true;
} //importdata
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.TTSread:
return true;
case R.id.SSS:
SSMyservice();
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Log.v(TAG,"option menu created");
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.layout.omenu, menu);
return true;
}
}
