Challenge Task 2 of 3 Then override 'onStartCommand', and when started send a Message to your Thread's Handler to tell it to start updating!
public class TwitterService extends Service {
TwitterClient twitterClient = new TwitterClient();
private TwitterHandler twitterHandler;
@Override
public void onCreate () {
TwitterThread twitterThread = new TwitterThread ();
twitterThread.start();
twitterHandler = twitterThread.twitterHandler;
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind (Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand (Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Message message = Message.obtain();
twitterThread.sendMessage (message);
return START_REDELIVER_INTENT;
}
class TwitterThread extends Thread {
TwitterHandler twitterHandler;
@Override
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
twitterHandler = new TwitterHandler();
Looper.loop();
}
}
class TwitterHandler extends Handler {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
twitterClient.update();
}
}
}
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button button;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
