Question

I think not may be I’m wrong is there a different way? the thing is I have a function to access from a activity and I can’t define the same function within the service

Answer 1

Your question is a bit ambiguous, but I’ll try to answer it anyways:

• Yes, you can call any method (that doesn’t take too long) from inside the onStop()-method.
• But, calling methods on an Activity that is currently in the stopped state is not a good idea.

Don’t abuse the Activity-classes for function-collections! There should only be methods inside it which work directly with the Activity itself.

For function collections or if you need to access a class with one state from multiple Activities, consider one of these:

• Override Application
• Use a Singleton (recomanded)
