Could you please explain to me, what happens when we bind to service, but never start it and then unbind? I'm getting "Activity has leaked a Service Connection error", but I do not understand why.
MyService: package com.example.servicetest;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Binder;
import android.os.IBinder;
public class MyService extends Service{
Binder mLocalBinder = new Binder();
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mLocalBinder;
}
}
MainActivity:
package com.example.servicetest;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, BoundActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
BoundActivity:
package com.example.servicetest;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.ServiceConnection;
import android.view.Menu;
public class BoundActivity extends Activity {
boolean mBound = false;
ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
mBound = false;
}
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
mBound = true;
}
};
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_bound);
}
@Override
protected void onResume(){
super.onResume();
Intent service = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
bindService(service, mConnection, 0);
}
@Override
protected void onPause(){
if (mBound){
unbindService(mConnection);
}
super.onPause();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.bound, menu);
return true;
}
}
When I click then button1, BoundActivity is started and it binds to MyService. When I click back, I get following exception:
