Starting multiple android services

[Ivelin]

Hello,

I want to start multiple Android services. In this case, I am trying to start two services. Regardless of the service's type, the first one always works just fine. However, the second one does not start, no matter what.

Here's what I have:

main.cpp

    QCoreApplication app(argc, argv, true);

    BootService::getInstance()->start_service();
    WebService::getInstance()->start_service();

    return app.exec();

BootService.cpp

...
void BootService::start_service()
{
    QJniObject::callStaticMethod<void>("tech.secureme.services.BootService",
                                       "startService",
                                       "(Landroid/content/Context;)V",
                                       QNativeInterface::QAndroidApplication::context());
}
...

WebService.cpp

...
void WebService::start_service() {
    QJniObject::callStaticMethod<void>("tech.secureme.services.WebService",
                                       "serviceStart",
                                       "(Landroid/content/Context;)V",
                                       QNativeInterface::QAndroidApplication::context());
}
...

BootService.java

public class BootService extends QtService {
    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        return Service.START_STICKY;
    }

    public static void startService(Context ctx) {
        ctx.startService(new Intent(ctx, BootService.class));
    }


}

WebService.java

public class WebService extends QtService {
    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

        return Service.START_STICKY;
    }

    public static void serviceStart(Context ctx) {
        ctx.startService(new Intent(ctx, WebService.class));
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml

....
        <service
                android:process=":qt_service" android:name=".services.BootService">
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.lib_name"
                       android:value="-- %%INSERT_APP_LIB_NAME%% --" />
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.arguments" android:value="--service" />
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.background_running" android:value="true" />
        </service>

        <service
                android:process=":qt_service" android:name=".services.WebService">
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.lib_name"
                       android:value="-- %%INSERT_APP_LIB_NAME%% --" />
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.arguments" android:value="--web_service" />
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.background_running" android:value="true" />
        </service>
...

Why does the first service always start, but the second one doesn't ? How can I fix that?

That was such a silly mistake. I had to rename the android:process attribute in each service to something unique that does not repeat.
