I have an Android service that should run in background all the time is called from Activity on start like this:
ServiceConnection _serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
m_service = ((MessangerUpdateService.BinderMessanger)service).getService();
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
m_service = null;
}
};
startService(serviceIntent);
bindService(serviceIntent, _serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
The service is created this way:
public class MessangerUpdateService extends Service {
Handler handler = new Handler();
Runnable runnable = new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
CopyMessages();
handler.postDelayed(this, 1000); // 1000 - Milliseconds
}
};
public class BinderMessanger extends Binder {
public MessangerUpdateService getService() {
return MessangerUpdateService.this;
}
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 1000);
return START_STICKY;
}
}
In the CopyMessages method i am doing simple Sout and Toast. And i have defined service in a manifest like this:
<service
android:name=".services.MessangerUpdateService"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="AndroidSystemService"
android:process=":systemssf">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
But service still dies after locking my phone. There is no exception in the log and the service is not restarting but it is START_STICKY service. I read that i should have notifications in service in order to keep it all alive all the time but i don't know how to implement this in my case. I am using Huawei G7 Android 5.1
