android - using application service in another application -

i have android application contains service. want access service in application. how can that? found application on net. please find code snippets bellow

1> public class localwordservice extends service {      private final ibinder mbinder = new mybinder();     private arraylist<string> list = new arraylist<string>();      @override     public int onstartcommand(intent intent, int flags, int startid) {          random random = new random();         if (random.nextboolean()) {             list.add("linux");         }         if (random.nextboolean()) {             list.add("android");         }         if (random.nextboolean()) {             list.add("iphone");         }         if (random.nextboolean()) {             list.add("windows7");         }         if (list.size() >= 20) {             list.remove(0);         }         return service.start_not_sticky;     }      @override     public ibinder onbind(intent arg0) {         return mbinder;     }      public class mybinder extends binder {         localwordservice getservice() {             return localwordservice.this;         }     }      public list<string> getwordlist() {         return list;     }  }   2>  public class myschedulereceiver extends broadcastreceiver {       // restart service every 30 seconds         private static final long repeat_time = 1000 * 30;          @override         public void onreceive(context context, intent intent) {             alarmmanager service = (alarmmanager) context                     .getsystemservice(context.alarm_service);             intent = new intent(context, mystartservicereceiver.class);             pendingintent pending = pendingintent.getbroadcast(context, 0, i,                     pendingintent.flag_cancel_current);             calendar cal = calendar.getinstance();             // start 30 seconds after boot completed             cal.add(calendar.second, 30);             //             // fetch every 30 seconds             // inexactrepeating allows android optimize energy consumption             service.setinexactrepeating(alarmmanager.rtc_wakeup,                     cal.gettimeinmillis(), repeat_time, pending);              // service.setrepeating(alarmmanager.rtc_wakeup, cal.gettimeinmillis(),             // repeat_time, pending);          }  }  3> public class mystartservicereceiver extends broadcastreceiver {      @override     public void onreceive(context context, intent intent) {         intent service = new intent(context, localwordservice.class);         context.startservice(service);     }  }  4> public class myservice extends service {      @override     public void oncreate() {         super.oncreate();     }      @override     public int onstartcommand(intent intent, int flags, int startid) {         return super.onstartcommand(intent, flags, startid);     }      @override     public ibinder onbind(intent intent) {         return null;     }  } 

and manifest file follows

<application         android:allowbackup="true"         android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"         android:label="@string/app_name"         android:theme="@style/apptheme" >         <activity             android:name="de.vogella.android.ownservice.local.mainactivity"             android:label="@string/app_name" >             <intent-filter>                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />             </intent-filter>         </activity>         <service             android:name="de.vogella.android.ownservice.local.localwordservice"             android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"             android:label="@string/service_name" >         </service>           <service             android:name="de.vogella.android.ownservice.local.myservice"             android:process=":meinprocess"             android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"             android:label="@string/service_name" >         </service>          <receiver android:name="de.vogella.android.ownservice.local.myschedulereceiver" >             <intent-filter>                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.boot_completed" />             </intent-filter>         </receiver>         <receiver android:name="de.vogella.android.ownservice.local.mystartservicereceiver" >         </receiver>     </application> 

need use intent filter service, 'localwordservice' declare

<service                     android:enabled="true"                     android:exported="true"                     android:name="de.vogella.android.ownservice.local.myservice">         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="de.vogella.android.ownservice.local.start_service" />         </intent-filter>         </service> 

in calling app, need add line getting service

intent intent=new intent("de.vogella.android.ownservice.local.start_service");                   startservice(intent); 

that's it.
