When a service has been killed, how to restart it automatically?
sometimes without even calling onDestroy()
I inherited an IntentService, so I had to be gentle. It worked for me when I overrode onStartCommand() but
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
return START_STICKY;
}
That is, let the parent do what it should and return START_STICKY.
Overrides the onStartCommand()
and give START_STICKY
or START_REDELIVER_INTENT
(depends on your needs) as the return value. The system will then make sure to restart your service until you explicitly stop the service.
