stopSelf() vs stopSelf(int) vs stopService(Intent)

Question

What\'s the difference in calling
stopSelf() , stopSelf(int) or stopService(new Intent(this,MyServiceClass.class))
inside

Answer 1

Here's a simplified description:

• stopSelf() is used to always stop the current service.

• stopSelf(int startId) is also used to stop the current service, but only if startId was the ID specified the last time the service was started.

• stopService(Intent service) is used to stop services, but from outside the service to be stopped.
