Android Question Volume Change .. Service starts twice and how do I disable

[mangojack]

Hi .. I have included the following lines in the manifest to start a service on each volume change ..

AddReceiverText(VLService, <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.media.VOLUME_CHANGED_ACTION" />
    </intent-filter>)

From logs it appears the service starts twice on each single volume button press , is this a problem ?

also ..apart from installing updated manifest without the above lines is there any other way to stop / disable the service starting on future volume changes.

Thanks Cheers mj

Nothing is wrong with a service that is started multiple times. Service_Create will run once. Service_Start can run many times.

You cannot disable a static receiver without changing the manifest file (reinstalling the app).
