    copied!<p>I made <code>Service</code> that runs on the background collecting data from internet using <code>AsyncTask</code> and storing them in <code>Shared Preferences</code>. Even though the work is done in <code>AsyncTask</code> it still freezes my main activity.</p> <p>Here is the code for Service:</p> <pre><code>public class GetterService extends Service { SharedPreferences.Editor editor; HashMap&lt;Integer,String&gt; links = new HashMap&lt;Integer,String&gt;(); @Override public void onCreate() { editor = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).edit(); populateLinks(); } private void populateLinks(){ // Here I add links to HashMap } @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { Toast.makeText(this, "GetterService ON BIND", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); return null; } @Override public void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); Toast.makeText(this, "GetterService ON DESTROY", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { doTasks(); return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId); } @Override public boolean onUnbind(Intent intent) { Toast.makeText(this, "GetterService ON UNBIND", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); return super.onUnbind(intent); } private void doTasks(){ for (Integer in : links.keySet()) { Document doc = null; try { doc = new NetTask().execute(links.get(in)).get(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (ExecutionException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } if (doc != null) { Elements names = doc.select("strong, li"); if(names != null &amp;&amp; names.size() &gt; 0) { for (int j = 0; j &lt; names.size(); j++) { editor.putString("header"+j, names.get(j).text().toString()); } } editor.commit(); } } } public class NetTask extends AsyncTask&lt;String, Integer, Document&gt; { @Override protected Document doInBackground(String... params) { Document doc = null; try { doc = Jsoup.connect(params[0]).timeout(5000).get(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } return doc; } } } </code></pre> <p>and here is how I start the service from main activity:</p> <pre><code>Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(this, GetterService.class); this.startService(startServiceIntent); </code></pre>
