using a textview within an intentservice android

Question

I have created a textview within my MainActivity and i need to pass this into my IntentService as I need to use the textview from MainActivity somewhere else. Is it possible to use the findViewById within an IntentService or is there a method in order to be able to do something similar that will allow that TextView to be used within the IntentService?

Thanks

Service does not have a ui. You can use Handler or LocalBroadCastReciever or Third party library like EventBus and then update ui in Activity itself — Raghunandan, Jun 04 '14 at 08:54

You can use putExtra to save your textview id in intent:

Intent i1 = new Intent(ListaActivity.this, ListDetailActivity.class); 
i1.putExtra("YourKey", "your textview id".toString()); 
startActivity(i1);

To retrieve the information:

Intent intent = getIntent(); 
String textViewID = intent.getStringExtra("YourKey");
