Sure this is a trivial question. What happens if I start a Service, using the following code:
startService(new Intent(this,myService.class));
and then I accidentally recall the above code, while the Service is yet running?
I’m afraid that the second call to startservice can create a new Service in order to have two different process executing at same time.
No, on multiple counts:
No, it will not create a new service. If the service is already running, it will be called with
onStartCommand()again, to deliver the newIntent, but a second copy is not created.No, it will not “have two different process executing at same time”, because a service runs in the same process as the rest of your app, by default.
