Onserviceconnected Not Getting Called

I referred to the following questions already but could not find an answer: Can't get service object (onServiceConnected never called), onServiceConnected not getting called , get

Solution 1:

I rewrote the service class so that onBind() returns IBinder as follwos.

publicclassPodServiceextendsService {
@Overridepublic IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {

        Log.d("bound", "bound");
        return mBinder; // returns IBinder object
    }

    privatefinalIBindermBinder=newPodSeviceStub(this);

 staticclassPodSeviceStubextendsIPodService.Stub {

         WeakReference<PodService> mService;

        publicPodSeviceStub(PodService service) {// added a constructor for Stub here
            mService = newWeakReference<PodService>(service);
        }
//here i implemented unimplemented methods

    }
}

and now it works.
