I am trying to launch a foreground service and notification when the user clicks on a button. This button is called "startBtn". It is meant to show the number of steps that the user takes.
I have 3 files, StepsFragment.java, fragment_steps.xml and StepsService.java.
I encountered this error in Logcat when the user clicks on the button:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find method startService(View) in a parent or ancestor Context for android:onClick attribute defined on view class android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton with id 'startBtn'
I have tried these following solutions asked on StackOverflow:
Could not find method in a parent or ancestor Context for android:onClick attribute
This is my code in StepsFragment.java:
package sg.edu.singaporetech.teamproject;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class StepsFragment extends Fragment implements SensorEventListener, View.OnClickListener {
Button updateBtn;
ProgressBar progressBar;
TextView tv_steps;
TextView levelDisplay;
SensorManager sensorManager;
Sensor sensor;
boolean running = false;
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_steps, container, false);
super.onCreate ( savedInstanceState );
updateBtn = view.findViewById(R.id.updateBtn);
progressBar = view.findViewById(R.id.progress_bar);
tv_steps = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_steps);
levelDisplay = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.levelDisplay);
sensorManager = (SensorManager) getActivity().getSystemService ( Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
updateBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
return view;
}
public void startService(View view) {
String input = tv_steps.getText().toString();
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(getActivity(),StepsService.class);
serviceIntent.putExtra("inputExtra",input);
getActivity().startService(serviceIntent);
}
}
This is the button code in fragment_steps.xml:
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton
android:id="@+id/startBtn"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:background="@drawable/btn_orange"
android:text="@string/start_steps"
android:textColor="@color/white"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:onClick="startService"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/updateBtn" />
And lastly, this is the code in StepsService.java
package sg.edu.singaporetech.teamproject;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import static sg.edu.singaporetech.teamproject.StepsNotification.CHANNEL_ID;
public class StepsService extends Service {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
String input = intent.getStringExtra("inputExtra");
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this,StepsFragment.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,0,notificationIntent,0);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle("Steps Tracker")
.setContentText("Steps tracked")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.exersize)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build();
startForeground(1,notification);
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
}
