public interface ServiceConnection

Interface for monitoring the state of an application service. See Service and Context.bindService() for more information.

Like many callbacks from the system, the methods on this class are called from the main thread of your process.

void	onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) Called when a connection to the Service has been established, with the IBinder of the communication channel to the Service.
void	onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) Called when a connection to the Service has been lost.

Method Detail

onServiceConnected

void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name,
                        IBinder service)

Called when a connection to the Service has been established, with the IBinder of the communication channel to the Service.

Parameters:

name - The concrete component name of the service that has been connected.

service - The IBinder of the Service's communication channel, which you can now make calls on.

onServiceDisconnected

void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name)

Called when a connection to the Service has been lost. This typically happens when the process hosting the service has crashed or been killed. This does not remove the ServiceConnection itself -- this binding to the service will remain active, and you will receive a call to onServiceConnected(android.content.ComponentName, android.os.IBinder) when the Service is next running.

Parameters:

name - The concrete component name of the service whose connection has been lost.
