How to get Context in an Intent Service
So my question is how do I get the context in an IntentService?
The IntentService is the Context, as IntentService inherits from Context.
You can get the context in onStartCommand() function.
public class ExampleService extends IntentService { private Context mContext; public ExampleService(String name) { super(name); } @Override protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) { } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { mContext = getApplicationContext(); return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId); } }
