Question

I have a service in android, and I need to pass parameters to it..I have no idea how to do it..

I tried to putExtra but it wasn’t an intent…I used constructor but it doesn’t work with constructors..

Answer 1

From Activity:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourService.class);
intent.putExtra("someKey", someData);
intent.putExtra("anotherKey", anotherData);
startService(intent);

In YourService :

public void onStartCommand(Intent data, int startId, int flags) {
    int data1 = data.getExtra("someKey");
    int data2 = data.getExtra("anotherKey");
}

Thanks.
