初识 Service

What is a Service?

Most confusion about the Service class actually revolves around what it is not:

• A Service is not a separate process. The Service object itself does not imply it is running in its own process; unless otherwise specified, it runs in the same process as the application it is part of.
• A Service is not a thread. It is not a means itself to do work off of the main thread (to avoid Application Not Responding errors).

这是在API文档里介绍的，翻译过来，大概意思就是“Service 不是一个独立的进程，Service也不是一个线程”Service和Activity有些类似，但是更多的是不同。Service没有UI界面，在后台运行，只要启动了就一直运行，不管调用这个Service的Caller是否Running，知道这个Service被onDestroy();

我看来mars老师的视频后,自己也试着完成Service的作业。我创建了一个Android工程“ServiceDemo”

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >

    
    <Button 
    android:id="@+id/startButton"
    android:text="Start Service"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    />
    <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:text="Stop Service" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:id="@+id/stopButton" 
    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/startButton" 
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"></Button>
   <TextView  
    android:id="@+id/showInfo"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_below="@id/startButton"
    /> 
</RelativeLayout>
