How to stop android service from a adb

am startservice com.xxx/.service.XXXService

i can start a service through the command above , but the am manual doesn't say anything about stop service.

how can i do that?

Solution

  • If you intend to stop a service you developed yourself you can add a second service to your app that is only responsible to stop the other service.

    Its onCreate() method only contains three lines of code:

    public void onCreate() {
  super.onCreate();
  stopService(new Intent("<ActionIDofServiceToBeStopped>"));
  stopSelf();
}

    This way you can stop your service by just starting the second one via adb:

    am startservice '<IDofStopperService>'
