如何绑定启动完成后启动的Android服务？

Question

I have an Android app with a Service, and an Activity_A and an Activity_B.

The service has to start after boot completed (which is does). When I launch the app, the service has to bind to Activity_A. When Activity_B is launched, it has to unbind from Activity_A and bind to Activity_B. The Service must never be destroyed since boot completed. That's all I need.

I tried two methods of binding to the server and both had problems:

• Method 1:

   Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class); bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); 

  This destroys the Service when it binds from Activity_A to Activity_B.

• Method 2:

   Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class); startService(intent); bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); 

  This seems to create a new service when Activity_A is launched. (But it should bind to the Service that has been created after boot completed)

Do you have any tips how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Okay, so Method 2 works totally fine. I figured that another problem occured that caused trouble. So I successfully use Method 2 now!
