Android Question Correct Commands Order

[Marcos Alves]

Suppose that I want to destroy and recreate a service calling from itself. What is the correct order ?
This:

StopService(Me)
StartService(Me)

Or This ?

StartService(Me)
StopService(Me)

 

[Erel]

Both commands send a message to the message queue. I don't see any good reason to destroy and recreate a service. It sounds to me that you are doing something wrong.

The correct order is:

StopService(Me)
Sleep(300)
StartService(Me)

However you shouldn't do it.

StartService(me) (moreover having stopped it) would work?

And where would you write this command?

Thanks @Erel ,
That's because I need to recreate a service in order to restart the Service_Create sub in certain conditions... maybe the follow code should be more elegant:

Sub Service_Create
 
     CreateRoutine

end Sub

Sub CreateRoutine

      If condition then
             do something... ' This code will do something that will turn the condition false sometime, stopping the loop...
             ...
             CreateRoutine
     else
            StopService(Me)
     end if
    
end Sub

What do you think @Erel ?

Yes, work. See my answer to @Erel explaining why do I need this commands.

What do you think @Erel ?

I think that it is a mistake to restart the service. I don't see any good reason for this. If you want to restart something in the service then move the relevant code to a different sub (out of Service_Create) and call it from Service_Create and when you want to restart it.
