Android Question StartActivit don't work under Service

[gameone]

Hi i am using
StartActivity(Phone3.Call("123"))
To call directly someone.

This work fine under Main or Even Service.
The only problem is when i do it under Service, this is causing service stopped!

There is a way to prevent this? I want service resume and do his job and don't be stopped when StartActivity is called.

This is done under:
Sub JobDone (Job As HttpJob)

End Sub.


Thanks u.

I guess you should use CallSubDelayed and call a sub in your activity which then do the start activity (to call).

The service will not be stopped when you start another activity. How do you see that it has stopped?

I'm still kind of a rookie, too. But as far as I know your problem could be like this:

You start your service, the service handles "Service_Start" and then "Service_Resume". Somewhere in between these two subs there's your code. And as soon as your code is done the service is done doing its job. I think (and I may be wrong, if so then I apologize) this job won't be done again unless you call "StartService" again.

But if it works the way you did it, then maybe this could be your solution:

Calling "Sub startActivityFromService" which is in your main activity:

CallSub(Main, "startActivityFromService")

Or if you got a sub in your service which should start the activity you can use:

CallSub(Me, "startActivityFromService")

I hope that helps.

Yeah MFFromGermany.
Thats why i already put StartService(me) in Service_start at the end.

At begin of my program i add too
Log("service ok")

@Erel
Infact when instead of doing a call i open a website that work fine job is done and service is restarted when job is finished.
I can see though debug

But with startactivity when call is make, debugger is stopping, and service sont restart.


@DonManfred
Look a good idea i will try when back to work on.

But with startactivity when call is make, debugger is stopping, and service sont restart.

This means that Android has killed the process while it was in the background. Test it in release mode. It will restart the process when the call ends.

@Erel Okay will try on smartphone on APK and not inside emulator.

@Other
About CallSubDelayed that work fine, service is restart in emulator too.
But that's causing a crash into service i wrote this:

Sub JobDone (Job As HttpJob)

CallSubDelayed(call_phone,Me)
Log("test")

End Sub

Sub call_phone

'CALL NUMBER
StartActivity(Phone3.Call("123"))
End Sub



All got working, call is showed and too i can see message "example" working fine, but that causing too a crash:

[Erel]

It should be: CallSubDelayed(Me, "Call_Phone")

@Erel
Android program is crashing too with java exception.
See the problem is fixed when you switch from "Debug" to "Release".

Thanks u for your support.

 

[Erel]

Which error do you get now?

 

[gameone]

Oh all is fine once you switch to release instead of debug.
