How to stop background(upload image into server) service in android?

Question

Suppose i run a web service in background(upload 100 images in binary format),If i want to stop then upload stop.If i want again start upload images then again start upload and also stop service (stop upload image into server) if i want. It is possible. If it is possible. Please explain how it is possible.

In this situation, i use AsyncTask Class but when call onPostExecute() then not call onCancelled() during executing onPostExecute(). So How it is possible.

that means i talk about above, i sent request into server for upload 100 images. So when start upload images then images upload running but once i stop (stop upload image)service then stop upload image into server.

If i again start service then again start service.

Please help me anybody via example or tutorial or helpful resource links.

Answer 1

• First create Service .
• Run one thread in that service .
• In Run method use while loop.

• Maintain one Boolean variable to stop and stat loop.

   while(your boolean variable){
      //your upload tax.
   }
  

I think this will help you.

Answer 2

You need to clarify the question a bit, you want to stop the AsyncTask or the background service ?

What triggers the "stop" and where ?

In general I suggest you check if you were cancelled between each image upload but that won't stop the upload mid-file. This requires some more knowledge on how you are performing the upload.

Also, It sounds like you should consider a networking library like OkHTTP / Retrofit / Volley
