Android service starts ramdomly/automatically
android, android-service, multithreading
Solution
I was able to solve the problem... Within the service, I moved the code from `onStartCommand` to `onBind`. I've had no problems since, I just use the service on a bidden state.
Also, previously I was stopping the Thread inside the service with `thread.interrupt()`, now I'm using a flag in the while, and setting it to false on `onUnbind` and `onDestroy`.
Problem
I have an android service, I bound it to an activity, and unbound on destroy. The problem is, it starts out of nothing when the application is closed, sometimes when I turn on the device, sometimes ramdomly, I know it starts 'cause of a toast message. Lets get to the code... Activity onCreate ``` Intent intent = new Intent(this, Sincronizacao.class); this.bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); this.startService(intent); ``` The code for mConnection ``` private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() { public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) { serviceBound = true; localBinder = (LocalBinder<Sincronizacao>) service; } public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) { serviceBound = false; localBinder = null; } }; ``` And on destroy ``` @Override protected void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); if (serviceBound && mConnection != null) { unbindService(mConnection); } Intent intent = new Intent(this, Sincronizacao.class); stopService(intent); localBinder = null; } ``` In my service, onStartCommand is implemented, in there I start out a thread wich query a web service and insert data into a database, the thread has a while(true), I simply interrupt it onDestroy method of the service... Edit: Here's the manifest line ``` android:name="com.company.package.service.Sincronizacao" /> ``` I'm struggling in this bug for some time already, hope you can help me. Thanks,
