Android Question Start a service before Main Activity_Resume?

[klarsys]

I want to access a service's global variable in Main Activity_Resume().

In the service, I initialize the variable in Service_Start().

No matter if I start my service from Starter service or Main module's Create() or Start() functions, i see that my service starts only after Main Activity_Resume().

How can I make sure that my service is started *before* Main activity starts, so that the variable is initialized and that I'm able to call service's functions from my Main activity?

I guess you should declare it in the starter service

I guess you should declare it in the starter service

But, the variable belongs to my service, not the starter service.

You should use the starter service for this. It is exactly the purpose of this special service.
