    copied!<p>I'm having trouble getting the onServiceConnected() method to run, which means that it's not binding my activity to the service. </p> <p>It's probably something simple that I've missed out - but I've tried quite a few times - starting from scratch.</p> <p>Here we go...</p> <p><strong>My Service Class</strong></p> <pre><code>import android.app.Service; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.IBinder; public class QuickService extends Service { private final IBinder mBinder = new QuickBinder(this); @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return mBinder; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>My Binder Class</strong></p> <pre><code>import android.os.Binder; public class QuickBinder extends Binder { private final QuickService service; public QuickBinder(QuickService service){ this.service = service; } public QuickService getService(){ return service; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>And... The Activity trying to bind to the service.</strong></p> <pre><code>import android.app.Activity; import android.content.ComponentName; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.ServiceConnection; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.IBinder; public class QuickActivity extends Activity { QuickService mService; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_connecting); } @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); Intent intent = new Intent(this, QuickService.class); bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); } @Override protected void onStop() { super.onStop(); // Unbind from the service unbindService(mConnection); } /** Defines callbacks for service binding, passed to bindService() */ private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() { @Override public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) { Logger.d("Connected!!! :D"); // We've bound to LocalService, cast the IBinder and get LocalService instance QuickBinder binder = (QuickBinder) service; mService = binder.getService(); } @Override public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) { } }; } </code></pre> <p>Also, the Service defined in the manifest file - in case you thought that was the problem.</p> <pre><code>&lt;service android:name=".QuickService"&gt;&lt;/service&gt; </code></pre> <p>So, What am I doing wrong here? Why isn't the onServiceConnected() method being called?</p>
