Question

How do I exactly stops a Service in Broadcast receiver? I am using a SMS Received broadcast receiver.

I am using

context.stopService(new Intent(this, CallService.class));

where “CallService” is my service, yet I am receiving

The constructor Intent(SMSReceiver, Class<CallService>) is undefined

and the Quick Fix is to remove the arguments to match 'Intent()'

Am I doing something wrong here?

---

To stop the broadcast receiver, all I have to do is
context.unregisterReceiver(SMSReceiver.this);
That’s all? Do I have to do onDestroy or anything?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Use context instead of this to instantiate Intent like below

context.stopService(new Intent(context, CallService.class));

The unregister part is correct.
