intentservice

I have an IntentService that is started from an Activity and I would like to be able to stop the service immediately from the activity with a "cancel" button in the activity. As soon as that "cancel" button is pressed, I want the service to stop executing lines of code. I've found a number of questions similar to this (i.e. here , here , here , here ), but no good answers. Activity.stopService() and Service.stopSelf() execute the Service.onDestroy() method immediately but then let the code in onHandleIntent() finish all the way through before destroying the service. Since there is apparently

I'm new in android . I struggle with my application approximately 3 weeks. I need sent and receive packets in normal mode and sleep mode . My app must exchange data a 5 seconds. I tried using alarmmanager but on android 5 it's not works. On android 5 an interval changes it on 60 seconds. Such a solution makes the battery wears out quickly. When I use normal asynctask, not IntentService , then it works only when screen is ON and app is visible. When app is hidden or I click power OFF then exchange data stops working. What is the best solutions? Even RTC_WAKEUP doesn't help most of the times.

I'm using an IntentService to upload images to a server. My problem is that I don't know how/when to stop the service. When I call stopself() in onHandleIntent(Intent ..) all Intents which are waiting in the IntentService queue are removed. But I don't want to stop the service from an activity because I want to complete upload proccess even if my application is not running. My problem is that I don't know how/when to stop the service. IntentService automatically stops itself when onHandleIntent() ends, if no more commands had been sent to it while onHandleIntent() was running. Hence, you do

Straight forward question: Is an IntentService declared in the Android Manifest as a regular service, or is there another way? It tried searching for it, but I couldn't find the answer. Here is the regular Service declaration: <service android:name=".NameOfService"> </service> Thanks In your manifest you declare a service with android:name=".Communication" , this means that your service class should be located in com.exercise.AndroidClient.Communication Check that the packages are correct. Note that the "." (dot) refers to the root of your package (ie the package declared in the manifest). So,

I'm trying to return the result from an IntentSerivce to the mainactivity using an intent, but I can't get it to work. The IntentService receives the intent from the activity without a problem, does it's thing and gets a JSONstring . Now the only problem left is to send this String back to the activity. Here is the method in the mainactivity: public String RTConn(String query){ System.out.println("Querying Rotten Tomatoes."); Intent rtIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, RTConnection.class); rtIntent.putExtra("query", query); bindService(rtIntent, RTConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
