How to call stopservice() method of Service class from the calling activity class

Question

I am trying to call my service class\'s stopService() method from my activity. But I dont know how to access stopservice method from my activity class. I have the below code

Answer 1

I actually used pretty much the same code as you above. My service registration in the manifest is the following

In the service class I created an according constant string identifying the service name like:

public class MyService extends ForeGroundService {
    public static final String MY_SERVICE = "it.unibz.bluedroid.bluetooth.service.MY_SERVICE";
   ...
}

and from the according Activity I call it with

startService(new Intent(MyService.MY_SERVICE));

and stop it with

stopService(new Intent(MyService.MY_SERVICE));

It works perfectly. Try to check your configuration and if you don't find anything strange try to debug whether your stopService get's called properly.
