i have service this:
public class myservice extends service{ . . . private activity source; public setactivity(activity source){ this.source=source; } } and activity this:
public class myactivity extends activity{ . . . @override public void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate){ . . myservice service=new myservice(); service.setactivity(this); //in place want start service. //but if use intent, run instance of service. intent intent = new intent(this,myservice.class); startservice(intent); } } how start current instance service? in place want start service.
it's not idea keep instance of activity inside service.
android guides :
a service application component can perform long-running operations in background , not provide user interface.
you can start service in background intents.
intent intent = new intent(this,myservice.class); startservice(intent); if attempt response service, checkout tutorials related service better understanding of it.
