The difference between Bindservice and StartService

Difference:

StartService, shutdown service exit Activity,service still running in the background

Bindservice, close service quit activity Direct StopService, stop service

Bindservice is used to bind a service, communicate with the service, StartService to start the stop service

General process of Bindservice mode:

① New service class Bindservice. Create a new inner class Mybinder in the Bindservice class, inheriting from Binder (Binder implements IBinder interface). Mybinder provides methods to return Bindservice instances.

public class Mybinder extends binder{

Public Bindservice GetService () {
return bindservice.this;
}
}

Instantiate Mybinder get Mybinder object;

Override the Onbind () method:

@Override
Public IBinder Onbind (Intent Intent) {
return mybinder;
}

② in activity, instantiate the implementation class of the Serviceconnection interface, overriding the Onserviceconnected () and onservicedisconnected () methods

Serviceconnection conn=new serviceconnection () {

@Override
public void onserviceconnected (componentname name, IBinder service) {
}

@Override
public void onservicedisconnected (componentname name) {
}

};

③ in the activity's OnCreate () method, create a new intent, and bind the service

Intent intent=new Intent (mainactivity.this,bindservice.class);
Bindservice (Intent, conn,bind_auto_create);

④ in the OnDestroy of activity, add

Unbindservice (conn);

If this step is not added, it will be reported android.app.ServiceConnectionLeaked: ******. Mainactivity has leaked serviceconnection exception.

Bindservice () is executed as follows:

Bindservice (Intent,conn,flag)->service:oncreate ()->service:onbind ()->activity:onserviceconnected ()
