Hello, I have a remote service started with startService() from a BroadcastReceiver that catches BOOTUP_COMPLETED, at phone power up. I also have a service controller with startService() and stopService() that works perfectly when no client is bound to the service.
When I bind to my service from clients, stopService doesn't work until the last client has executed unbindService. And if one of my clients gets destroyed (just by pushing the Back button on the right side of the phone) then I can't stop the service at all (it didn't execute unbindService). One of the solutions is to execute unbindService in my client at the onPause event. What is an alternative? Say if I wouldn't have control/ access to the client application and I don't know if the client executes unbindService at onPause(), and I still wanted a way to stop the service at my discretion..what should I do ? One more thing..for the client's connection to the service I provide an object (let's say GenericConnection object) that manages the connection (it provides functions like connectService() and disconnectService() after being created). That's the only control I have in the client's code: it instantiates my object and uses its functions. How can I model my object so that the client would execute unbindService when its Activity is being stopped? I also thought about forcing the client, instead of instantiating my object, to extend my class instead of Activity, and in my class I would override onPause and call unbindService myself. Any other ideas? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
