Question

I have a function::

public void doSleep() {
    handler.postDelayed(
        new Runnable() { 
            public void run() { doCom(); } 
        }, 10000); 
}  

This is linked with doCom which starts this again. how can I finsh this at the end of the service?

Answer 1

create a boolean flag in your class called sleep = true;

public void doSleep() {
    handler.postDelayed(
        new Runnable() { 
            public void run() { if(sleep) { doCom(); } } 
        }, 10000); 
}  

and set sleep = false; if you want to stop it.
