How to troubleshoot alerts that appear in Android 5.0: Service Intent must be explicit

There are times when we need to use a privacy boot for our service, but when Android 5.0 comes out, one of the features is Service Intent must be explitict , which means that service services must be started in a display mode starting with Lollipop.
And the Android source code is written like this (source location: Sdk/sources/android-21/android/app/contextimpl.java):

2. private void Validateserviceintent (Intent service) {
4. if (service.getcomponent () = = null && service.getpackage () = = null) {
6. if (Getapplicationinfo (). targetsdkversion >= Build.version_codes. LOLLIPOP) {
8. IllegalArgumentException ex = new IllegalArgumentException (
10. "Service Intent must be explicit:" + service);
12. Throw ex;
14. } else {
16. LOG.W (TAG, "implicit intents with StartService is not safe:" + Service
18. + "" + debug.getcallers (2, 3));
20. }
22. }
24. }

Since the source code is written in this way, there are two ways to solve this:

1. set action and PackageName:

The reference code is as follows:

1. Intent mintent = new Intent ();
2. Mintent.setaction ("XXX.XXX.XXX");//The action of the service you define
3. Mintent.setpackage (Getpackagename ());//Here you need to set the package name of your app
4. Context.startservice (mintent);

This method is the solution that Google recommends using officially.

2. Convert the implicit start to display start : --Reference address:http://stackoverflow.com/a/26318757/1446466

2. public static Intent Getexplicitintent (context context, Intent implicitintent) {
4. Retrieve all services that can match the given intent
6. Packagemanager pm = Context.getpackagemanager ();
8. list<resolveinfo> ResolveInfo = pm.queryintentservices (implicitintent, 0);
10. Make sure-one match was found
12. if (ResolveInfo = = NULL | | resolveinfo.size ()! = 1) {
14. return null;
16. }
18. Get Component info and create ComponentName
20. ResolveInfo serviceinfo = resolveinfo.get (0);
22. String PackageName = serviceInfo.serviceInfo.packageName;
24. String className = serviceInfo.serviceInfo.name;
26. ComponentName component = new ComponentName (PackageName, className);
28. Create a new intent. Use the old one for extras and such reuse
30. Intent explicitintent = new Intent (implicitintent);
32. Set the component to be explicit
34. Explicitintent.setcomponent (component);
36. return explicitintent;
38. }

The method is called as follows:

1. Intent mintent = new Intent ();
2. Mintent.setaction ("XXX.XXX.XXX");
3. Intent eintent = new Intent (getexplicitintent (mcontext,mintent));
4. Context.startservice (eintent);
