postDelayed() in a Service

Question

I\'m trying to restart service from itself in a few time. My code looks like this (inside the onStartCommand(...))

Looper.prepare();
Handler han         


        

Answer 1

I would declare the Handler variable at the Service level, not locally in the onStartCommand, like:

public class NLService extends NotificationListenerService {
    Handler handler = new Handler(); 

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {....} , 60000);
    }

And the service has its own loop, so you do not need Looper.prepare();
