Android 应用界面开发笔记 Service

Service

- A service is a application component that can perform long-run operations in the background and does not provide a user interface. 
- A service is not a separate process, nor a thread 

2 forms: start; bind

* Service not newed as a service file needs to be declared in Manifest
service较之activity有更高优先级，并且可以在后台运行，不需要界面

-新建Service 可以new a service (系统会自动在manifest里注册，enabled, exported included), 自己new一个service class需要手动在manifest里注册

onStart() 已弃用，由onStartCommand() 代替

@Overridepublic int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {    Log.i(TAG, "onStartCommand");    return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);}

-新建一个MusicServiceActivity，里面包含Start和Stop两个按钮
create an activity, implements OnClickListener()
在onClick()

设置两个按钮的点击事件：            public class MusicServiceActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener{    private Button mStartButton;    private Button mStopButton;    @Override    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        setContentView(R.layout.music_service_activity);        mStartButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.start);        mStopButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.stop);                mStartButton.setOnClickListener(this);        mStartButton.setOnClickListener(this);    }    @Override    public void onClick(View v) {        switch (v.getId()){            case R.id.start:                break;            case R.id.stop:                break;        }                }}

自带startService() 和 stopService() 功能

  @Override  public void onClick(View v) {      switch (v.getId()){          case R.id.start:              startService(new Intent(MusicServiceActivity.this,MusicService.class));              break;          case R.id.stop:              stopService(new Intent(MusicServiceActivity.this,MusicService.class));              break;      }  }

Run the project, "start" "stop" buttons clicked, no response

- go to service file, set TAG 

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.i(TAG, "onStartCommand"); //Q: 这句LOG的位置如果放在下面这句后面会提示"unreachable statement"
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);

}

再次run之后运行停止，发现问题，activity未注册

03-21 07:23:52.494 396-396/naomi.edna.weekfourservice E/AndroidRuntime: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {naomi.edna.weekfourservice/naomi.edna.weekfourservice.MusicServiceActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

------26th March update

to change the font of the codes, -file-settings-editor-colors & fonts - font - click "save as", then create your own preference 

* onCreate()方法里面含两个参数--TBD 

在service下面放进去音乐之后，start() 音乐，.mp3 未关联，文件的关联可以通过file-settings-editor-file type来修改

--后来才知道，其实音乐文件关联，文件名全改成小写就可以解决问题

--manifest如果重复注册，会error 

kill adb.exe 快捷键 ctrl + shift + A 

Service life cycle:

startService() - onCreate() - onStartCommand() - ServiceRunning - onDestroy() [unbounded service]

bindService() - onCreate() - onBind() - Clients are bound to Service - onUnbind()- onDestroy() [bounded]

bind/unbind - to replace start n stop 

helps to interact/communicate with service - activity 

->iBinder, create an inner class 

->lifecycle - a bound service can only be destroyed before unbind.
