Android: stopService doesn't call onDestroy

Question

I have big problems with stopping a service, which plays audio file. I want to stop the current service before I play another file.

Activity:

public vo         


        

Answer 1

First, it's onDestroy, not OnDestroy . Second, you must use the @Override annotation for compile-time checking, so your Service code should look somewhat like this:

@Override
public void onDestroy(){
    Log.v("SERVICE","Service killed");
    player.stop();
    super.onDestroy();  
}
