2011.07.12——— android Foreground service

foreground service ，即在前台显示service，就是在状态栏显示service，借助于notification.

效果如图所示：

1、service

package com.example.android.apis.app;

import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Binder;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;

// Need the following import to get access to the app resources, since this
// class is in a sub-package.
import com.example.android.apis.R;


public class LocalService extends Service {
    private NotificationManager mNM;

    /**
     * Class for clients to access.  Because we know this service always
     * runs in the same process as its clients, we don't need to deal with
     * IPC.
     */
    public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
        LocalService getService() {
            return LocalService.this;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        mNM = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        // Display a notification about us starting.  We put an icon in the status bar.
        showNotification();
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        Log.i("LocalService", "Received start id " + startId + ": " + intent);
        // We want this service to continue running until it is explicitly
        // stopped, so return sticky.
        return START_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        // Cancel the persistent notification.
        mNM.cancel(R.string.local_service_started);

        // Tell the user we stopped.
        Toast.makeText(this, R.string.local_service_stopped, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return mBinder;
    }

    // This is the object that receives interactions from clients.  See
    // RemoteService for a more complete example.
    private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder();

    /**
     * Show a notification while this service is running.
     */
    private void showNotification() {
        // In this sample, we'll use the same text for the ticker and the expanded notification
        CharSequence text = getText(R.string.local_service_started);

        // Set the icon, scrolling text and timestamp
        Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.stat_sample, text,
                System.currentTimeMillis());

        // The PendingIntent to launch our activity if the user selects this notification
        PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
                new Intent(this, LocalServiceActivities.Controller.class), 0);

        // Set the info for the views that show in the notification panel.
        notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, getText(R.string.local_service_label),
                       text, contentIntent);

        // Send the notification.
        // We use a layout id because it is a unique number.  We use it later to cancel.
        mNM.notify(R.string.local_service_started, notification);
    }
}

2、bind

Bound 为Activity或是其它程序部件使用bindService()来启动Service。Bound Service提供了一种Client/Service方法允许调用Service的Activity与Service进行交互：发送请求，取得结果，并支持进程间通信。 一般Bound Service的生命周期和启动它的Activity相同，多个Activity可以同时绑定一个Service。 当所有Activity 都断开与Service之间的绑定时。Service自动结束。

service运行时，应用程序组件（比如Activity）与之绑定，然后接受请求并返回响应或者提供进程间通信机制，它的生命周期通常与调用它的组件（如Activity）相同。

public static class Binding extends Activity {
        private boolean mIsBound;


        private LocalService mBoundService;

        private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
            public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
                // This is called when the connection with the service has been
                // established, giving us the service object we can use to
                // interact with the service.  Because we have bound to a explicit
                // service that we know is running in our own process, we can
                // cast its IBinder to a concrete class and directly access it.
                mBoundService = ((LocalService.LocalBinder)service).getService();

                // Tell the user about this for our demo.
                Toast.makeText(Binding.this, R.string.local_service_connected,
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
                // This is called when the connection with the service has been
                // unexpectedly disconnected -- that is, its process crashed.
                // Because it is running in our same process, we should never
                // see this happen.
                mBoundService = null;
                Toast.makeText(Binding.this, R.string.local_service_disconnected,
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        };

        void doBindService() {
            // Establish a connection with the service.  We use an explicit
            // class name because we want a specific service implementation that
            // we know will be running in our own process (and thus won't be
            // supporting component replacement by other applications).
            bindService(new Intent(Binding.this, 
                    LocalService.class), mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
            mIsBound = true;
        }

        void doUnbindService() {
            if (mIsBound) {
                // Detach our existing connection.
                unbindService(mConnection);
                mIsBound = false;
            }
        }

        @Override
        protected void onDestroy() {
            super.onDestroy();
            doUnbindService();
        }


        private OnClickListener mBindListener = new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                doBindService();
            }
        };

        private OnClickListener mUnbindListener = new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                doUnbindService();
            }
        };

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            setContentView(R.layout.local_service_binding);

            // Watch for button clicks.
            Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.bind);
            button.setOnClickListener(mBindListener);
            button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.unbind);
            button.setOnClickListener(mUnbindListener);
        }
    }

Client 需要通过 ServiceConnection 接口来监视与Service之间的连接
ServiceConnection接口，onServiceConnected ，onServiceDisconnected分别在Service与Client 之间建立链接和断开链接时调用。其中IBinder service 就是 Service 的onBind的返回对象

3、start

Started 当一个如Activity使用startService()来启动一个Service，一旦Service启动后，就不受启动它的Activity控制，可以在后台长期运行，通常这种Service在后台执行某个费时操作(如下载文件)不会向启动它的Activity返回结果。

public static class Controller extends Activity {
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            setContentView(R.layout.local_service_controller);

            // Watch for button clicks.
            Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.start);
            button.setOnClickListener(mStartListener);
            button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.stop);
            button.setOnClickListener(mStopListener);
        }

        private OnClickListener mStartListener = new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // Make sure the service is started.  It will continue running
                // until someone calls stopService().  The Intent we use to find
                // the service explicitly specifies our service component, because
                // we want it running in our own process and don't want other
                // applications to replace it.
                startService(new Intent(Controller.this,
                        LocalService.class));
            }
        };

        private OnClickListener mStopListener = new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // Cancel a previous call to startService().  Note that the
                // service will not actually stop at this point if there are
                // still bound clients.
                stopService(new Intent(Controller.this,
                        LocalService.class));
            }
        };
    }

另外 也可以通过 startForeground，stopForeground来实现。
