    copied!<p>I have an activity that plays a sound when the button is clicked. I need that converted into a service so the audio will continue to play. I have asked this question several times in different ways but no one seems to respond, even when I post my full code. I am very lost... what I need to happen is for someone to give me an example of how to take my activity code below and turn it into a service instead. I have followed all the online tutorials and still cant figure it out. </p> <pre><code> public class Ship extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener { public static final Integer[] TIME_IN_MINUTES = { 30, 45, 60, 180, 360 }; public MediaPlayer mediaPlayer; public Handler handler = new Handler(); public Button button2; public Spinner spinner2; //public PowerManager.WakeLock wl; // Initialize the activity @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { //PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE); // PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "Howaya"); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // wl.acquire(); setContentView(R.layout.ship); button2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn2); button2.setOnClickListener(this); spinner2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2); ArrayAdapter&lt;Integer&gt; adapter = new ArrayAdapter&lt;Integer&gt;(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, TIME_IN_MINUTES); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); spinner2.setAdapter(adapter); } // Play the sound and start the timer private void playSound(int resourceId) { // Cleanup any previous sound files cleanup(); // Create a new media player instance and start it // Create the timer to stop the sound after x number of milliseconds int selectedTime = TIME_IN_MINUTES[spinner2.getSelectedItemPosition()]; handler.postDelayed(runnable, selectedTime * 60 * 1000); } // Handle button callback @Override public void onClick(View v) { switch (v.getId()) { case R.id.btn2: startService(new Intent(this, Shipservice.class)); break; } } protected void onDestroy() { cleanup(); super.onDestroy(); } // Stop the sound and cleanup the media player public void cleanup() { if (mediaPlayer != null) { mediaPlayer.stop(); mediaPlayer.release(); mediaPlayer = null; } // Cancel any previously running tasks handler.removeCallbacks(runnable); } // Runnable task used by the handler to stop the sound public Runnable runnable = new Runnable() { public void run() { cleanup(); } }; @Override protected void onPause() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onPause(); //wl.release(); } } </code></pre> <p>service</p> <pre><code>package com.androidsleepmachine.gamble; import android.app.Service; import android.content.Intent; import android.media.AudioManager; import android.media.MediaPlayer; import android.os.IBinder; import android.util.Log; public class Shipservice extends Service { static final String TAG=Shipservice.class.getSimpleName(); MediaPlayer player; @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return null; // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void onCreate() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub player = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.ocean_ship); player.setLooping(false); Log.d(TAG, "onCreate'd"); } @Override public void onDestroy() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onDestroy(); Log.d(TAG, "onDestroy'd"); } @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") @Override public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); mediaPlayer.setDataSource(R.raw.ocean_ship); mediaPlayer.prepare(); mediaPlayer.start(); super.onStart(intent, startId); Log.d(TAG, "onStart'd"); } class ship extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.run(); } } } </code></pre>
