I try to play with Service in Android, my application contain an Activity with a button so that it can do action when I press it. The core component is the ExtractingURLService , which extends IntentService framework class. I have overrided the onHandleIntent() method, so that it can handle intent passed to it properly. Code:
public class ExtractingURLService extends IntentService {
private static final String TAG = "ExtractingURLService";
public ExtractingURLService(String name) {
super("ExtractingURLService");
}
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
// do something here !
}
}
}
The Android Manifest file is :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="example.service.urlextraction"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".ServiceExample02Activity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:name=".ExtractingURLService" android:enabled="true"></service>
</application>
</manifest>
In my only Activity class, I call the service by using:
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(this, ExtractingURLService.class);
startService(startServiceIntent);
That's all my work, but when deploy, the runtime error I received was:
04-09 16:24:05.751: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1078): Caused by: java.lang.InstantiationException: example.service.urlextraction.ExtractingURLService
What I should do with that ??
