Android Question How to kill a service permanently

[grafsoft]

Hi,

I am using MyLocation as a basis for my project.

I want to stop and kill the service when the user stops the program.

This is what I tried:

In tracker.bas:

Sub Service_Destroy
    ' Service.StopAutomaticForeground 
    CancelScheduledService(Me)
    StopService (Me)
    Service.StopForeground(1)
    ToastMessageShow("Close Service", True  )
    Log ("Stopservice")
    lock.ReleasePartialLock
End Sub

In Main:

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
    If UserClosed Then 
       StopService (Tracker)
        Log ("Tracker stopped")
    End If
End Sub

Pls help.

Try creating separate Sub in Tracker which contains (exactly in this order):

lock.ReleasePartialLock
CancelScheduledService(Me)
Service.StopForeground(1)
StopService (Me)

Then call this sub from Main Activity_Pause.
