i'm trying to make an android service via capacitor custom plugin. but i got error.
this is custom capacitor plugin inside android/src/main/java :
it could be called from ionic app.i also set @PluginMethod return type to none. package io.ionic.starter;
import com.getcapacitor.JSObject;
import com.getcapacitor.NativePlugin;
import com.getcapacitor.Plugin;
import com.getcapacitor.PluginCall;
import com.getcapacitor.PluginMethod;
@NativePlugin()
public class CustomNativePlugin extends Plugin {
@PluginMethod(returnType=PluginMethod.RETURN_NONE)
public void customService() {
MainActivity mainActivity = new MainActivity();
mainActivity.startService();
call.resolve();
}
}
android service : this is MyService
package io.ionic.starter;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyService extends Service {
public MyService() {
}
@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// Let it continue running until it is stopped.
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return START_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Destroyed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
and from MainActivity i called MyService, startService will be triger but after that i got error. maybe because of call back function. i dont know.
public void startService() {
startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), MyService.class));
}
// Method to stop the service
public void stopService(View view) {
stopService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), MyService.class));
}
call method from ionic app like this:
import { Plugins } from "@capacitor/core";
const { CustomNativePlugin } = Plugins;
runService(){
CustomNativePlugin.customService();
}
and the error is :

because of An Android component (service, receiver, activity) can trigger the execution of a service via the startService(intent) method. i have to call it from context;
@PluginMethod(returnType = PluginMethod.RETURN_NONE)
public void customService(PluginCall call) {
call.resolve();
Intent service = new Intent(getContext(), MyIntentService.class);
getContext().startService(service);
}
