INTENT SERVICE - Android Fundamentals

[@namnguyenang887]

very concise an clearly explanation Philipp, Glad to find your channel, plz keep it up

[@thyagonevessilvestre1248]

Great video Philipp, easy to understand. I'm already subscribed, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Brazil.

[@bahromkomilov23]

Great video Philipp. Thank you for your work

[@GakisStylianos]

Perfect. Wouldbe nice to know how to have a service feed information back to the application as well.

[@PhilippLackner]

Thank you! You can get information in the activity by using the service singleton

[@telephon3208]

1) Why your service work in the background? The documentation said: "A service runs in the main thread of its hosting process; the service does not create its own thread and does not run in a separate process unless you specify otherwise".
2) How do you access the views in MainActivity without ViewBinding or findViewById? I didn't get it

[@johnjacobkenny]

Hey Philipp, great video as always, but I have a doubt. I'm not sure that the way you have used IntentService is the correct way.
In your video, you are manually stopping the intentservice using a companion object method as well as using a variable to control the execution (in the while loop). In the case that another intent for the same service was started, it would stay in the looper queue. And only when you call the stop method, the first task would get completed.
Now since the second intent was in the queue, then that gets executed. And if you forget to call stop on that, then no other intent from the queue will get executed.
I'm new to this and learning about it, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Sir, will you be doing any video on JobIntentService or WorkManager in kotlin? Thank you

[@chris_rb84]

how would a mechanism similar to FileSystemWatcher be implemented? that is to say that there is a kind of agent that every time interval consults if I already have the internet? This would be ideal to notify the user and proceed to perform actions towards the server.

[@mohammadjavadshabani243]

Nice job
But what's the diffrent between service and intentservice?

[@PhilippLackner]

Thank you! The next video is about normal service, where I will explain the difference

@@mohammadjavadshabani243 you're welcome. I just think, intent Service is a little bit easier to start with

[@arpitgupta3151]

Can you tell why did you use unit and companion object. What's the use of these?

[@akashdeepwadhwa5828]

for getting only single instance throughout the app

can someone explain to me what threads mean?

[@zeit1904]

thread is a line of execution, if you create another thread, they will run in parallel, but i still dont know in android development, if you minimize your app it will stop all created threads in the application, probably thats the case but i am still not sure

[@rowenarrow]

As of Jul 2022 it looks like IntentService() and JobIntentService() has been deprecated. Docs say use Jetpack Compose, but I have yet to work with this, so I may have to just skip this one and watch another more recent video after learning Jetpack Compose.

[@leninomarfmtz2154]

Didn't you mean WorkManager?

[@mrtruthvirtue8752]

#Intent services are depracated.

[@igormorozov6311]

Hi, I am sorry, but this is a really bad video. IntentService (in opposite to Service) stops himself after it finish his work. In addition, you mess up viewers during the video by calling IntentService and Service.Also it would be very useful to give some examples og using IntentServices in real life, this is also missing and makes this video useless. Sorry for harsh review
