In my Android app, I call both startService and bindService:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
ServiceConnection conn = new ServiceConnection() { ... }
startService(intent)
bindService(intent, conn, BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
Later, I attempt to both unbindService andstopService`:
unbindService(conn);
stopService(intent);
However, I get an exception on the call to unbindService. If I remove this call, the app seems to run properly through the stopService call.
Am I doing something wrong? I thought a bindService call had to be associated with an unbindService call, and a startService call had to be associated with a stopService call. This doesn't seem to be the case here, though.
