Starting a Service by Intent.

[pmj]

Hello all,

I can't understand, why the following code does not work.
My service is not called when I put headphones in or out.

Manifest:

AddReceiverText(headsetinout, 
<intent-filter>
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.HEADSET_PLUG" />
</intent-filter>)

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" 
    android:normalScreens="true" 
    android:smallScreens="true" 
    android:anyDensity="true"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")

Servicemodule named "headsetinout":

#Region  Service Attributes 
   #StartAtBoot: true
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
   'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
   'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
End Sub
Sub Service_Create
End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)

If StartingIntent.Action = "android.intent.action.HEADSET_PLUG" Then
'do something
End If
End Sub

Sub Service_Destroy
End Sub

Thank you in advance for your help.

Many friendly greetings from Per.

Seems like this intent can only be handled by dynamic intent filters.
You will need to use the BroadcastReceiver library and create the intent filter at runtime.

Thank you Erel ! That did the trick.
