kaSImGökSu: android

I have built a simple Android application to schedule mobile data :)
Everything works perfectly... However in my extended testing I found a very weird issue. Sometimes my application service is crashing and it couldn't restart.

Edited to include LogCat logs

Fix:
Well, you can fix this problem when you override onStartCommand method on your service class (like below).
More information: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html

 

package com.goksu.xxx.service;

import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;

/**
 * @author kgoksu
 */
public class MyService extends Service {
 ...
 ...
 @Override
 public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) {
  handleCommand();
 }
 
 @Override
 public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
  handleCommand();
  
     // We want this service to continue running until it is explicitly
     // stopped, so return sticky.
     return START_STICKY;
 }
 
 private void handleCommand() {
  //TODO
 }
