copied!<p>It sounds like what you need to do is to be able to "bind" to your service. What I have posted below is a simple template of how to do that. For your purposes you will need to store variables in your Service class and create getters so that when you re-launch your activity you can get the most up to date variables. Also - please note that I start and stop the Service example below in onResume and onPause. You will no doubt want to do this differently.</p> <pre><code>//Activity //Bind to Service Example public class ExampleActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener { // UI private Button binderButton; // service private MyService myService; private Intent serviceIntent; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.your_layout); // binder button binderButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); binderButton.setOnClickListener(this); binderButton.setText("start"); serviceIntent = new Intent(this, MyService.class); } private ServiceConnection serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() { @Override public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) { myService = ((MyService.MyBinder) service).getService(); } @Override public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) { myService = null; } }; @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); // start the service startService(serviceIntent); // bind to the service bindService(serviceIntent, serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); } @Override public void onClick(View v) { switch (v.getId()) { case R.id.button1: // call method within the service myService.doServiceStuff(); break; } } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); stopService(serviceIntent); unbindService(serviceConnection); } } </code></pre> <hr> <pre><code>//Service public class MyService extends Service { private final IBinder binder = new MyBinder(); @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) { return binder; } public void doServiceStuff() { task.execute(); } // create an inner Binder class public class MyBinder extends Binder { public MyService getService() { return MyService.this; } } AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> task = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() { @Override protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) { Log.d("yourTag", "long running service task"); return null; } }; } </code></pre>
