Android Question How to access a Public Sub in a Service from B4XMainPage

Hello all,

I need a call from the B4XMainPage to a Public Sub in a Service. Everything I have tried is a no-go. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?

Thanks
Tim

Thanks Johan.

This is what I used to make it all work:

There are (almost) no reasons to use services with B4XPages. You are only making it more complicated than needed.
