Calling Getsystemservice Inside A Service

I'm trying to write a service that get the heart rate on Gear Live, following the question here Get Heart Rate from 'Sensor' Samsung Gear Live If I put this part Log.d(TAG, 'p

Solution 1:

I figured it out, the reason is that inside getSystemService, there's a call to this function:

@OverridepublicObjectgetSystemService(String name) {
    return mBase.getSystemService(name);
}

which has mBase as null. This is a Context object. So I had to put the context of the activity that start the service in onCreate(). Code below:

publicHeartRateMonitorService(Context context){
    super();
    mBaseConext = context;
}


@OverridepublicvoidonCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    attachBaseContext(mBaseConext);
}

I'm not sure this is the optimal solution, but it is a workaround.
