Question

I am trying to send data from an activity to service via intents.

This is the code in my activity class

Intent i= new Intent(this,SampService.class);

    i.putExtra("startTimeHour", timePicker1.getCurrentHour());
    i.putExtra("endTimeHour", timePicker2.getCurrentHour());
    i.putExtra("startTimeMinute",timePicker1.getCurrentMinute());
    i.putExtra("endTimeMinute", timePicker2.getCurrentMinute());
    startActivity(i);

This is the code in my service class

public class SampService extends Service implements Runnable {

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}
public void onCreate()
{
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    String startTimeHour,startTimeMinute,endTimeHour,endTimeMinute;



}
public void onStart()
{
    Thread t=new Thread(this);
    t.start();
}
public void run() {



}

Answer 1

SampleService is a Service, you should use startService(i); instead of startActivity(i); The data attached to the intent can then be retrieved in the Service.
