POAndroid Service Won't Start
text
Body
copied!<p>Strange problem I'm facing. I want to start a Service when my Activity is created. Here is my Service's code (very simple, as you'll see):</p> <pre><code>package com.nblmedia.service; import android.app.Service; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.IBinder; import android.util.Log; public class ServiceSynchro extends Service { public ServiceSynchro() { Log.i(XXX.LOG, "ServiceSynchro"); } @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { Log.i(XXX.LOG, "onBind"); // TODO Auto-generated method stub return null; } @Override public void onCreate() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Log.i(XXX.LOG, "onCreate"); super.onCreate(); } @Override public void onDestroy() { Log.i(XXX.LOG, "onDestroy"); // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onDestroy(); } } </code></pre> <p>In my AndroidManifest.xml I have declared the Service as follow :</p> <pre><code><service android:name=".ServiceSynchro"></service> </code></pre> <p>Finaly, to start my Service, I call the startService method in the onCreate :</p> <pre><code>protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); startService(new Intent(UserMenuActivity.this, ServiceSynchro.class)); } </code></pre> <p>And nothing happens. If I check the device's running services, there are no service named ServiceSyncho running. If I check the Logcat, nothing is outputted. Same for the breakpoints, the app doesn't cycle thru the Service's lifecycle events. Any idea what could be my problem?</p>
