I i'm coding a programm with a backroudn Service that runs at the Startup.
Now the Problem is that i found this in the Log:
Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

Normally the Programm will send GPS Information to a http Server.

Any Ideas?

can you show your codes?

Yes!
Here is the Code for my Service.
Who will be startet at the beginning:

// Edit your codes to the following ,tell me the result~~

private void initService() {
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
if(settings.getBoolean("gpsautoupdater", true)){
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
Looper.prepare(); //////////////////////////new add
updateNotification();
Looper.loop(); ///////////////////////////new add
}
}, 0, settings.getLong("gpsupdate", 5000));
}
}

Cool it works!
But why does the Service ends when i close the app?

It's because the service live.If you want to keep the service running,you should call onBind() first, are you sure you don't call stopService() when close the app?

Yes thats important
The User can check in the Config if he want that or not

So put onBind in the Create function of the service?

Yes,if you use onBind() to start a service ,it means that the stopService is useless,you must call UnbindService() to stop it.
Use onBind() is the best way,because you don't worry about some unexpected reasons to stop the service.....

My English is not so well,I hope you can unstantand what I mean!

i use:

in my Main App.
So i have there to recode that i use onBind?
Or i do onBind in MyService fot itself?

My english is bad too

/// try the following codes
private ServiceConnection _connection = new ServiceConnection ()
if (settings.getBoolean("gpsautoupdater", true)) {
intent = new Intent(this, MonitorService.class);
bindService(intent,_connection,this.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); }

you can call unbindService(_connection) to stop it...

PS :I'm from China ,glad to meet you.Do you use MSN? Maybe we can share experience in the further

There is the Problem:
Cannot instantiate the type ServiceConnection

And i can't find a good fix on Google...

sorry,give you the whole codes

Toast.makeText(TestServiceHolder.this, "Service connected",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
};

private void initButtons() {
Button buttonStart = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start_service);
buttonStart.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

Button buttonStop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stop_service);

private void stopService() {

this.stopService(i);
}

private void bindService() {
Intent i = new Intent(this, TestService.class);
bindService(i, _connection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
_isBound = true;
}

private void unbindService() {
if (_isBound) {
unbindService(_connection);
_isBound = false;
}
}

Thanks i will check that tongiht!
And bingxuewangzi427 you got a PM

Oke where do you get TestService.LocalBinder and _boundService
dont have LocalBinder in MyServer

Got the binder an bound and so on.

But he only start it once time...

what do you mean? If you bind the service and don't unbind it,it will always running,maybe other mistake?
