Android Question How do I determine if a service is running?

[davepamn]

I have a service that occasionally stops. I need a way to detect the service is stop and restart it.

Have you tried

If IsPaused("ServiceName") then

end if

Normally to prevent the OS from killing your service you need to make the service run as a StickyService, do a search for this keyword and you'll find all the information you need.

Hope this helps!

Note that it is better to use the service reference:

If IsPaused(ServiceName) Then

if ispaused(UpdateServer) then
stopservice(UpdateServer)
startservice(UpdateServer)
end if
