android service exported attribute?

Question

I am quite new to the android platform. I want to export my service to be publicly used. I find something on developer doc

android:exported Whether or not

Answer 1

The purpose of the "exported" is to let other apps have access to a service.

For example, \android-sdk-windows\samples\android-8\SampleSyncAdapter\AndroidManifest.xml

The source code that matches with these services is then found in your samples folder at

\android-sdk-windows\samples\android-8\SampleSyncAdapter\src\com\example\android\samplesync\authenticator\AuthenticationService.java

and

\android-sdk-windows\samples\android-8\SampleSyncAdapter\src\com\example\android\samplesync\syncadapter\SyncService.java

An example of using this might be located at...

  \android-sdk-windows\samples\android-8\SampleSyncAdapter\src\com\example\android\samplesync\client\NetworkUtilities.java (3 hits)
