isServiceRunning

[dmrcierhn]

isServiceRunning returns true even though the service is not running. How can i fix this ? Thank you!

I met the same problem. sometime when restart app , we need to know whether service is running or not ,if running, then to load resources.

The service will continue running until you call stopService () from inside the method you used when initializing the service.

in fact ,sometime we didn't start bg service when app was starting such as geo location, so when app is starting we need to know whether the bg service is running or not , if running ,we need to load some existing resource . existing functions are excellent ,so it will be great that add support to check bg service running status .

@tranice I'm not sure I understand what you want. You can't see whether the background service is running or not without the UI. So, if you want to make sure that the service is running, you can simply create a notification. However, if you want to get that status from the UI, you can use isServiceRunning from the UI. You can't use isServiceRunning from within the service itself, because if you do, it means the service is running.

void main(){
...
FlutterBackgroundService.initialize(onStart);
...
}

void onStart(){
// everytime commands executed inside this method, its mean the service is running.
}

@PilotJinix @ekasetiawans, I think its working fine in flutter run --release (release build)

[ekasetiawans]

@PilotJinix @Surya-ufours I cant reproduce the issue on my machine. I use stable channel (2.0.1). I got an exception, but the display is still working. I have fill an issue to flutter repository https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/77680.
