Android Question How to check if a service exist?

[stefanoa]

I create a service called "Player"

    Player.filesMap = filesMap
    Player.currentSongIDx=IDx
    StartService(Player)

afterwards, from other activities, i need to get some information from MediaBrowser (if is playing, lenght, etc.) that is inside the service, avoiding "null object errors"
i tried:

If  Player <> Null Then
        If Player.MB.MediaIsPlaying....

but doesn't work
It's possible?
thanks

I assume that MB is a process global variable. You don't need to check whether Player is Null or is sleeping.

However as a general rule, all public process global objects should be in the starter service and initialized in Service_Create. This way they will always be initialized.

I did not know this service.
I solved with Starter service and global declaration
Thanks!
