Android Question GPS.Stop

[Deleted member 103]

Hi,

I initialize and start GPS with the starter service, when you exit where should I stop at the best GPS, in the Main-Activity_Pause or starter service?

Question, of when is in Starter service the content of Sub "Service_Destroy" performed?

Never, unless you call StopService(Starter).

It depends on your app requirements. Applications are moved to the background and eventually are killed by the OS. If it makes sense to stop the GPS when the activity is paused then do it from Activity_Pause.

When the OS kills the process, it kills it immediately.

Thanks for the answer.

But if I call StopService (starter) of Activity_Pause the Sub "Service_Destroy" is not performed, I see at least no log.

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
    If UserClosed Then
        'Service beenden
        StopService(Starter)
    End If
End Sub

Sub Service_Destroy
    Log("Starter: Service_Destroy")
End Sub

Did you close the activity with the back key?

Just made a test with this code and it does print the message in the logs:

Sub Process_Globals

End Sub

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
   If UserClosed Then
     StopService(Starter)
   End If
End Sub

I think I'm blind, now see the log.

I'm not blind.
The problem is that it does not always work, here the log of 2 app.

###### Result of App Nr.1 ######

** Service (starter) Create **
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = true **
UserClosed=true
** Service (starter) Destroy **
Starter: Service_Destroy


###### Result of App Nr.1 ######

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **

UserClosed=true

OK, I've found the problem.
I have in App No.2 after "StopService(Starter)" also "ExitApplication"

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
   If UserClosed Then
     StopService(Starter)
     ExitApplication
   End If
End Sub
