最近项目有用到Service,在网上参考了相关的资料(http://android.blog.51cto.com/268543/527314)和Android 自带的ApiDemos,下面做些总结。
一、Service是在一段不定的时间运行在后台,不和用户交互应用组件。当我们不用界面交互时可以考虑使用service,service的使用和广播一样必须在配置文件中声明:
<!-- Service Samples -->
<service android:name=".app.LocalService" />
二、service的两种模式,本地模式(Local Service)和远程服务(Remote Service)
本地模式(Loacal Service) :可以参考ApiDemos中的 LocalService.java 和 LocalServiceBinding.java两个文件。本地模式有两种使用方法,使用startService()方法启用服务和使用bindService()方法启用服务。
远程服务 (Remote Service) 用于android系统内部的应用程序之间。
它可以通过自己定义并暴露出来的接口进行程序操作。客户端建立一个到服务对象的连接,并通过那个连接来调用服务。连接以调用Context.bindService()方法建立,以调用 Context.unbindService()关闭。多个客户端可以绑定至同一个服务。如果服务此时还没有加载,bindService()会先加载它。
可被其他应用程序复用,比如天气预报服务,其他应用程序不需要再写这样的服务,调用已有的即可。
三、生命周期(本部分转载)
1. 使用startService()方法启用服务,调用者与服务之间没有关连,即使调用者退出了,服务仍然运行。
如果打算采用Context.startService()方法启动服务,在服务未被创建时,系统会先调用服务的onCreate()方法,接着调用onStart()方法。
如果调用startService()方法前服务已经被创建,多次调用startService()方法并不会导致多次创建服务,但会导致多次调用onStart()方法。
采用startService()方法启动的服务,只能调用Context.stopService()方法结束服务,服务结束时会调用onDestroy()方法。
2. 使用bindService()方法启用服务,调用者与服务绑定在了一起,调用者一旦退出,服务也就终止,大有“不求同时生,必须同时死”的特点。
onBind()只有采用Context.bindService()方法启动服务时才会回调该方法。该方法在调用者与服务绑定时被调用,当调用者与服务已经绑定,多次调用Context.bindService()方法并不会导致该方法被多次调用。
采用Context.bindService()方法启动服务时只能调用onUnbind()方法解除调用者与服务解除,服务结束时会调用onDestroy()方法。
四、构建Service类
(1)不需和Activity交互的本地服务,可以使用startService/stopService启动和关闭service。
运行时可以发现第一次startService时,会调用onCreate和onStart,在没有stopService前,无论点击多少次startService,都只会调用onStart。而stopService时调用onDestroy。再次点击stopService,会发现不会进入service的生命周期的,即不会再调用onCreate,onStart和onDestroy。
service类分别实现onstart (),oncreate(),onStop方法即可。
Java代码:
public class LocalService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "LocalService";
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "onBind");
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
Log.i(TAG, "onCreate");
super.onCreate();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
Log.i(TAG, "onDestroy");
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
Log.i(TAG, "onStart");
super.onStart(intent, startId);
}
}
这里的onBind()可以不是实现。
Activity代码:
public class ServiceActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.servicedemo);
((Button) findViewById(R.id.startLocalService)).setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
startService(new Intent("com.demo.SERVICE_DEMO"));
}
});
((Button) findViewById(R.id.stopLocalService)).setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
stopService(new Intent("com.demo.SERVICE_DEMO"));
}
});
}
}
2.有本地服务和Activity交互必须用bind方式使用service
使用bindService()方法启用服务,调用者与服务绑定在了一起,调用者一旦退出,服务也就终止。大家可以参考ApiDemos的代码。

说明:1、实现了OnBind()方法,当绑定时返回IBinder类,getService方法来返回当前的Service对象。

}
说明: 1、实现ServiceConnection类,分别实现对绑定和解除绑定的处理。
2、bindService(Intent service, ServiceConnection conn, int flags) ,Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE 表示服务和在绑定的时候开启。
文档对于flags的说明:
Flag for bindService(Intent, ServiceConnection, int)
: automatically create the service as long as the binding exists. Note that while this will create the service, itsonStartCommand(Intent, int, int)
method will still only be called due to an explicit call tostartService(Intent)
. Even without that, though, this still provides you with access to the service object while the service is created.
Specifying this flag also tells the system to treat the service as being as important as your own process -- that is, when deciding which process should be killed to free memory, the service will only be considered a candidate as long as the processes of any such bindings is also a candidate to be killed. This is to avoid situations where the service is being continually created and killed due to low memory.
3、unbindService(ServiceConnection conn) ,解除绑定。
(2)远程服务 (Remote Service)
