I'm trying to stop my service with stopService(), but it will still running. It only stops when I unregister the brodcast receiver, but when I register that again, there will be two actions activated at the same time. The thread is still running somehow, I really tried everything and reading every single post on the forum but I dind't find a solution.
Service Class
public class MyService extends Service {
final static String MY_ACTION = "MY_ACTION";
private static Context context;
private Timer timer;
public String Data;
String ok = "Database\n";
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
MyThread myThread = new MyThread();
myThread.start();
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}
public class MyThread extends Thread{
@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
int delay = 1000; // delay for 1 sec.
int period = 5 * 1000; // repeat every 120 sec.
timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
Data = String.valueOf((c.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND)));
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(MY_ACTION);
intent.putExtra("DATAPASSED", ok);
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
}, delay, period);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
stopSelf();
}
}
}
MainActivity
final IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(MyService.MY_ACTION);
registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, intentFilter);
final Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MyService.class);
//Start our own service
btnStart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, intentFilter);
startService(intent);
}
});
btnStop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//unregisterReceiver(broadcastReceiver);
stopService(intent);
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
unregisterReceiver(broadcastReceiver);
super.onStop();
}
BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
int datapassed = intent.getIntExtra("DATAPASSED", 0);
String s = intent.getAction().toString();
String s1 = intent.getStringExtra("DATAPASSED");
textview.append(s1);
}
};
