Android开发中,当需要创建在后台运行的程序的时候,就要使用到Service。Service 可以分为有无限生命和有限生命两种。特别需要注意的是Service跟Activities是不同的(简单来说可以理解为后台与前台的区别),例如,如果需要使用Service的话,需要调用startService(),从而利用startService()去调用Service中的OnCreate()和onStart()方法来启动一个后台的Service。 启动一个Service的过程如下:context.startService() ->onCreate()- >onStart()->Service running其中onCreate()可以进行一些服务的初始化工作,onStart()则启动服务。 停止一个Service的过程如下:context.stopService() | ->onDestroy() ->Service stop 接下来的实例是一个利用后台服务播放音乐的小例子,点击start运行服务,点击stop停止服务。 ServicesDemo.java(是一个Activity) package com.android.myservice; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.Button; public class ServiceDemo extends Activity implements OnClickListener { private static final String TAG = "ServiceDemo"; Button buttonStart, buttonStop; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); buttonStart = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonStart); buttonStop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonStop); buttonStart.setOnClickListener(this); buttonStop.setOnClickListener(this); } public void onClick(View src) { switch (src.getId()) { case R.id.buttonStart: Log.i(TAG, "onClick: starting service"); startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class)); break; case R.id.buttonStop: Log.i(TAG, "onClick: stopping service"); stopService(new Intent(this, MyService.class)); break; } } } 除此之外还要在Manifest里面声明服务:(AndroidManifest.xml) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.android.myservice"> <application android:label="@string/app_name"> <activity android:name=".ServiceDemo" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/> </intent-filter> </activity> <service android:enabled="true" android:name=".MyService"/> </application> </manifest> 定义Service(MyService.java) package com.android.myservice; import android.app.Service; import android.content.Intent; import android.media.MediaPlayer; import android.os.IBinder; import android.util.Log; import android.widget.Toast; public class MyService extends Service { private static final String TAG = "MyService"; MediaPlayer player; @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return null; } @Override public void onCreate() { Toast.makeText(this, "My Service created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); Log.i(TAG, "onCreate"); player = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.braincandy); player.setLooping(false); } @Override public void onDestroy() { Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Stoped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); Log.i(TAG, "onDestroy"); player.stop(); } @Override public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) { Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Start", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); Log.i(TAG, "onStart"); player.start(); } } layout文件夹中是main.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center"> <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/services_demo" android:gravity="center" android:textSize="20sp" android:padding="20dp"/> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/buttonStart" android:text="@string/start"></Button> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/stop" android:id="@+id/buttonStop"></Button> </LinearLayout> values 文件夹中是strings.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="start">Start</string> <string name="stop">Stop</string> <string name="services_demo">Service Demo</string> </resources>
