    copied!<p>I have two services (a DashClock extension service that calls another service), and the second service is supposed to save a value so I can use that value to display in my DashClock extension. However, this value does not appear to be passed into the extension service.</p> <p>DashClock Extension:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); be=this; //numUpdates = getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("numUpdates", -1); Intent i = new Intent(this, UpdateCheckService.class); i.putExtra(Constants.CHECK_FOR_UPDATE, true); startService(i); //numUpdates = getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("numUpdates", 0); registerReceiver(myReceiver, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_TIME_TICK)); } @Override protected void onUpdateData(int reason) { // Get preference value. final SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext()); //String name = sp.getString(PREF_NAME, "Eric"); Log.d("hiya","updating"); /*while(getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("numUpdates", -1)==-1){ Log.d("wait","waiting here"); }*/ //numUpdates = getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("numUpdates", -2); int numUpdates = sp.getInt("numUpdates", -2); Log.d("IMPORTANT FROM BrianExtension", "" + numUpdates); Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName("com.cyanogenmod.updater", "com.cyanogenmod.updater.UpdatesSettings"); // Publish the extension data update. if(numUpdates == 0){ shouldShow = false; } else{ shouldShow = true; } publishUpdate(new ExtensionData() .visible(shouldShow) .icon(R.drawable.cid) .status(numUpdates + " updates") .expandedTitle(numUpdates + " Nightly CM Updates") .expandedBody("Click here to go to CMUpdater.") .clickIntent(intent)); } </code></pre> <p>UpdateCheckService:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate() { ucs = this; registerReceiver(mReceiver, new IntentFilter("updatethis")); /*prefs = getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", Context.MODE_PRIVATE); prefs.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(mListener);*/ final SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext()); Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable(){ @Override public void run() { try { try { int ericUpdates = getAvailableUpdates().getUpdateCount(getBaseContext()); Log.d("yes!", ""+ericUpdates); sp.edit().putInt("numUpdates", ericUpdates).apply(); Log.d("IMPORTANT FROM UpdateCheckService", "" + sp.getInt("numUpdates", -99)); //getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE).edit().putInt("numUpdates", ericUpdates).apply(); //Log.d("IMPORTANT FROM UpdateCheckService", "" + getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("numUpdates", -99)); sendBroadcast(new Intent(ucs, BrianUpdaterReceiver.class)); //BrianExtension.be.onUpdateData(4); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }); thread.start(); //stopSelf(); // Get the System Mod string mSystemMod = TESTING_DOWNLOAD ?
