stop service in android

Question

Here I tried simple service program. Start service works fine and generates Toast but stop service does not. The code of this simple service is as below:

public class MailService extends Service {     @Override     public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {         // TODO Auto-generated method stub         return null;     }     public void onCreate(){         super.onCreate();         Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();     }     public void onDestroyed(){         Toast.makeText(this, "Service Destroyed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();         super.onDestroy();     } } 

The code of the Activity from where this Service is called is as below:

public class ServiceTest extends Activity{     private Button start,stop;      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.service_test);          start=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnStart);         stop=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnStop);          start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {              @Override             public void onClick(View v) {                 // TODO Auto-generated method stub                 startService(new Intent(ServiceTest.this,MailService.class));             }         });         stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {              @Override             public void onClick(View v) {                 // TODO Auto-generated method stub                 stopService(new Intent(ServiceTest.this,MailService.class));             }         });     } } 

Help me to stop service with that stop button which generates toast in the onDestroy() method. I have already seen many posts regarding stop service problem here, but not satisfactory so posting new question. Hope for satisfactory answer.

Answer 1

onDestroyed() 

is wrong name for

onDestroy()   

Did you make a mistake only in this question or in your code too?

Answer 2

This code works for me: check this link
This is my code when i stop and start service in activity

case R.id.buttonStart:   Log.d(TAG, "onClick: starting srvice");   startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));   break; case R.id.buttonStop:   Log.d(TAG, "onClick: stopping srvice");   stopService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));   break; } }  } 

And in service class:

  @Override public void onCreate() {     Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();     Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");      player = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.braincandy);     player.setLooping(false); // Set looping }  @Override public void onDestroy() {     Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();     Log.d(TAG, "onDestroy");     player.stop(); } 

HAPPY CODING!
