Executing the function calls in onServiceConnected() method is not
what is wanted as described in following case:
There is a Service Wrapper class where the binding/unbinding is
actually done.
The MyServiceClient is an Activity class used for invoking some
functions on the service using the Service Wrapper class, instead of
directly binding/unbinding to service.
In this case, a service client using the wrapper class cannot execute
the function calls on the service in onServiceConnected() method,
which is in a different file.
The NullPointerException is therefore still thrown when any function
is invoked on the service after initializing the service wrapper.
-------------------------------------------
CODE SNIPPET (UPDATED)
-------------------------------------------
//class MyServiceClient in separate file - Used for accessing the
service via a wrapper class
class MyServiceClient extends Activity
{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//some lines
ServiceWrapperClass svc = new
ServiceWrapperClass(getApplicationContext());
//access the service
Integer someValue = svc.getService().someFunc(1, 2);
//
NullPointerException here - How to make sure service should be running
before any function is called on the service ?
}
}
//class ServiceWrapperClass in separate file - Used for binding to
service and providing the service instance to client
class ServiceWrapperClass
{
private static ISomeServiceInterface myService;
//constructor
public ServiceWrapperClass(Context context) {
//create intent to connect to service
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent("some.uri");
context.bindService(serviceIntent, progressBarServiceConn,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
//access the service
Integer someValue = myService.someFunc(1, 2); //
NullPointerException here - How to make sure service should be running
before any function is called on the service ?
}
private ServiceConnection progressBarServiceConn = new
ServiceConnection(){
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name,
IBinder service)
{
myService =
ISomeServiceInterface.Stub.asInterface(service);
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name)
{
myService = null;
}
};
public ISomeServiceInterface getService()
{
return myService;
}
}
