Change toggle button state from service

Question

Is it possible to change ToggleButton state (checked/unchecked) from service?
I am passing boolean value via SharedPreference after togglebutton click(checked) and reset it after stop recording at service (service is still running after it).
But how i can change ToggleButton state ?

Answer 1

You can listen sharedprefs changes via OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener . So from service set boolean flag in prefs. Listen for your flag from activity and change toggle button state.

• You also can use LocalBroadcastManager to send message when you stop recording.
• Activity can give a callback to a service which it should call when recording it stopped.
• You can use EvenBus to communicate between app components.

There are a lot different ways.
