Straight forward question:
Is an IntentService declared in the Android Manifest as a regular service, or is there another way? It tried searching for it, but I couldn't find the answer.
Here is the regular Service declaration:
<service android:name=".NameOfService"> </service> Thanks

You declare a service in your app's Manifest, by adding a <service> element as a child of your <application> element. There's a list of attributes that you can use to control a service's behavior, but as a minimum you'll need to provide the service's name (android:name) and a description (android:description).
IntentService is a base class for Services that handle asynchronous requests (expressed as Intents) on demand. Clients send requests through startService(Intent) calls; the service is started as needed, handles each Intent, in turn, using a worker thread, and stops itself when it runs out of work.
Declaring a service in the manifest You must declare all services in your application's manifest file, just as you do for activities and other components. To declare your service, add a <service> element as a child of the <application> element.
The Android manifest file helps to declare the permissions that an app must have to access data from other apps. The Android manifest file also specifies the app's package name that helps the Android SDK while building the app.
In your manifest you declare a service with android:name=".Communication", this means that your service class should be located in com.exercise.AndroidClient.Communication
Check that the packages are correct. Note that the "." (dot) refers to the root of your package (ie the package declared in the manifest). So, for example, if your package is com.exercise.AndroidClient and your service class is under com.exercise.AndroidClient.services.Communication you need to declare the service like this:
<service android:enabled="true" android:name=".services.Communication" /> Or specify the full package:
<service android:enabled="true" android:name="com.exercise.AndroidClient.services.Communication" /> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
