I write an android service of get weather, and the AndroidManifest.xml is:
Here says from documentation:
If we want to make this service run in a remote process (instead of the standard one for its .apk), we can use
android:process
in its manifest tag to specify one:
Also note that the name remote
chosen here is arbitrary, and you can use other names if you want additional processes. The :
prefix appends the name to your package's standard process name. With that done, clients can now bind to the service and send messages to it. Note that this allows clients to register with it to receive messages back as well.
Edit1:
Second, if the service element (in manifest) contains an action string, use it. For example if your service declared like this:
So do this in onCreate()
method of your service:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent intent=new Intent("com.sample.service.serviceClass");
this.startService(intent);
}
I saw that in this question:
Unable to start Service Intent
Edit2:
I saw your manifest again.It seems that your manifest has no Main/Launcher Activity
.In android 3.1 and later
it causes no service be available.In fact for
security
reason all services,receivers,... that you declare in manifest,will not register unless your App run explicitly by user
and this needs to a Main/Launcher Activity.So you have to add such Activity to your App and be care that it has already been performed.
