I found my "errors" or mistakes. So I found out that I was setting
the constructor incorrectly which as DanH stated is why the
InstantiationException is thrown. I had:
public _Constructor(String name)
{
super(name);
}
WHICH IS INCORRECT.
The proper way is to not include a String name argument, such as:
public _Constructor()
{
super(name);
}
While we are on the subject of IntentServices, a few things that threw
me off were the following:
I implemented the onCreate() and onStartCommand(...) methods and it
was entering those with no problem but for some reason it wasn't
entering the onHandleIntent(Intent intent) method at all.
I found out that it was because you had to call super.onCreate() and
super.onStartCommand().
By the way all these tips were on other threads but I failed to
connect the solutions to the problem but now they are all in one
thread.
Thanks.
