    <p>I know this question has been asked many times, but all the other threads didn't solve my issue at all, I can't see anything wrong with my code. Maybe I missed something here, can anyone help me out?</p> <p>Code for the Intent Service:</p> <pre><code>package Services; import android.app.IntentService; import android.content.Intent; import android.widget.Toast; public class WifiSearchService extends IntentService { /** * A constructor is required, and must call the super IntentService(String) * constructor with a name for the worker thread. */ public WifiSearchService() { super("WifiSearchService"); } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { Toast.makeText(this, "service starting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); return super.onStartCommand(intent,flags,startId); } /** * The IntentService calls this method from the default worker thread with * the intent that started the service. When this method returns, IntentService * stops the service, as appropriate. */ @Override protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) { // Normally we would do some work here, like download a file. // For our sample, we just sleep for 5 seconds. long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + 5*1000; while (System.currentTimeMillis() &lt; endTime) { synchronized (this) { try { wait(endTime - System.currentTimeMillis()); } catch (Exception e) { } } } } } </code></pre> <p>Starting the service by flicking a switch:</p> <pre><code>package com.cdobiz.wifimapper; import Services.WifiSearchService; import android.os.Bundle; import android.app.Activity; import android.app.ActivityManager; import android.app.ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.util.Log; import android.view.Menu; import android.widget.CompoundButton; import android.widget.CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener; import android.widget.Switch; public class MainActivity extends Activity { private Context context; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); context = this; setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Switch serviceSwitch = (Switch) this.findViewById(R.id.switchService); serviceSwitch.setChecked(isMyServiceRunning()); serviceSwitch.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener(){ @Override public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton view, boolean state) { if(state){ startService(new Intent(context, WifiSearchService.class)); }else{ stopService(new Intent(context, WifiSearchService.class)); } } }); } private boolean isMyServiceRunning() { ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE); for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) { Log.v("debug", service.service.getClassName()); if ("com.cdobiz.wifimapper.services.WifiSearchService".equals(service.service.getClassName())) { return true; } } return false; } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); return true; } } </code></pre> <p>Manifest:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.cdobiz.wifimapper" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" &gt; &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="17" /&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/&gt; &lt;application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" &gt; &lt;activity android:name="com.cdobiz.wifimapper.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" &gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;service android:enabled="true" android:name=".services.WifiSearchService"&gt;&lt;/service&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;/manifest&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COIs WifiSearchService in the .services package? If it's not you should remove the .services. If it can't find the service it won't start it, and it gives no indication that it can't find it, which is kind of annoying.

    2. COYes, it is inside a package called Services.

    3. COI'd throw a bunch of log statements in there to see if it's actually reaching the code that launches it. Not sure if you've tried that yet since your code doesn't show it. Also you declare the package as Services, but the manifest shows it as .services - should it be capitalized?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
