Help to "see" an active service

[bgsoft]

Hello:

I created a service and it works perfectly.
I call it from the application. This application to activate the service goes through Activity.Finish.
The problem comes when I erase the memory or recent open applications (hold down the menu button), if I enter the application and check the status of the service (IsPaused (Service Name)) then always tells me there. When this happens is that Android has happened to his schedule, but do not know how to access it, I can cancel at CancelScheduledService(Name Service), but not sure it is on the schedule. I created a global variable that asset when starting the service and disable in Service_Destroy and so when I consult it, and this works perfectly, but I wonder if there is a way to access the schedule and see what's service in up.

thanks

Jesus

I'm sorry but I'm not sure that I fully understand. Are you using StartServiceAt?

Remember that the process might be destroyed and later recreated. This means that if you want to save something you need to save it to a file and read it in Service_Create.

Hi Erel

Yes, I do both, and that the service is destroyed but when it comes time to re-enter: Service_Start, reappears service. My question is if there is any way to know when a service is on the agenda?. I can cancel the service with CancelScheduledService agenda (service name) but I can know if it is?

thanks

There is no way to find which service is scheduled. However as it is you who are scheduling the services, you can write this data to a text file and then load it when the service starts.

Thanks for your answer.
As said earlier, I've solved it by creating a variable and storing it in a file. I put this variable to true to start the service, and false in Service_Destroy. So when I go back into the application, asked if the service is running with IsPaused (service name) or has been destroyed by referring to the variable.

I think that this solution does not seem "elegant". And so I asked if there was any way to view the schedule.
