To stop a IntentService, call the method stopService (Intent service). It request that a given application service be stopped. If the service is not running, nothing happens. Otherwise it is stopped. Note that calls to startService() are not counted -- this stops the service no matter how many times it was started. So imple? not at all.
In this exercise, buttons are added to start and stop IntentService. It can be noted that:
- If you click the "Start IntentService" multi times, only one request will be processed at a time, All requests are handled on a single worker thread. The extra requests will be place in a queue.
- If you click the "Start IntentService" multi times, only ONE call of stopService() is need to stop all request.
- If you remove the checking on the boolean stopped, in onHandleIntent() of MyIntentService.java; call stopService() will call onDestroy() of MyIntentService, but the code in onHandleIntent() will keep running until finish by itself. Because onHandleIntent() is running on another worker thread.
