Android global variable not working in Service
android, global-variables
Solution
Your service is running remotely because you've got this:
android:process=":MyService"
in the manifest definition for the service.
This means that it is running an a completely separate process. You can't share global variables using static variables that way.
If you don't need your service to run in a separate process, then just remove the "android:process" line and you'll be good.
Problem
I'm perplexed why I cannot access my global variables from my service. I can access them from other activities just fine.... global var class: ``` public class Global extends Application { private static final String TAG = "Global Class"; int test; public int getTest() { return test; } ``` Main Activity I use this test code: ``` Global appState = ((Global)getApplication()); //Context()); appState.setTest(555); Log.e("SETTEST",new Integer(appState.getTest()).toString()); ``` Result is 555 Another activity I use the same code: ``` Global appState = ((Global)getApplication()); //Context()); Log.e("SETTEST",new Integer(appState.getTest()).toString()); ``` Result is 555 FInally in my service, I use the same code as above: ``` Global appState = ((Global)getApplication()); //Context()); Log.e("SETTEST",new Integer(appState.getTest()).toString()); ``` and I get big, fat 0 back. Please help. I've spent 3 hours on this so far. I've tried using getApplication, and getApplicationContext Also, manifest looks like this: ``` ... <application android:icon="@drawable/signal" android:label="@string/app_ name" android:name="<absolute path>.util.Global"> <service android:name=".util.MyService" android:process=":MyService" android:icon="@drawable/airplane" android:label="@string/service_name" > </service> ``` **I just tried using a singleton class as well according to this post. same troubles as above: Android - Global variables?
