I m trying to start an IntentService from the main activity of y application and it won't start. I have the service in the manifest file. Here's the code:
MainActivity
public class
Home extends Activity {
private LinearLayout kontejner;
IntentFilter intentFilter;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
kontejner = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.kontejner);
intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), HomeService.class));
}
}
Service:
public class HomeService extends IntentService {
public HomeService() {
super("HomeService");
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "TEST", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.salefinder"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".
Home"
android:label="@string/title_activity_home" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:name=".HomeService" />
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
</manifest>
How can I make it work?
