WakefulIntentService v0.2.0 Released
I have converted the CWAC WakefulIntentService over to use the parcel format, though it is also available as a downloadable JAR since it does not have any resource dependencies.
Also, based in part on the suggestions in
this thread,
I have streamlined the way you send work to a WakefulIntentService
.
While you can still do it the old way (acquire the static WakeLock
,
then call startService()
), I have wrapped those steps up into
a sendWakefulWork()
method. Call that with a Context
and
either your service’s Class
or an Intent
for your service
class, and WakefulIntentService
will grab the lock and call
startService()
on your behalf.
Thanks to Satya Komatineni for spurring me to make this change!
