Android：将广播接收器转变为服务

Question

Thanks to a good bit of help I got from someone in my last question I am further ahead then before. Now I need to figure out how make this broadcast into a service. Or do I need to make a 3rd file and make a service out of that class?

Any help would be cool!

Answer 1

create a class which extends Service.

public class myService extends Service{

and use the Application Context object passed to your BroadcastReceiver to start the service.

context.startService(intent);

If you need to carry data over from your Intent object put a set of extras into the Intent object you create when you call

sendBroadcast(Intent intent);
