Title Body

I have a service with an following constructor: public ShimmerService(Context context, Handler handler) { mHandler = handler; } I want to instantiate this service class. I have following code but, I am not sure where to pass the paramater: private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() { public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder binder) { mShimmerService = ((ShimmerService.ShimmerConfigureBinder) binder) .getService(); Toast.makeText(ConfigureShimmer.this, "Shimmer service has succesfully started.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) { mShimmerService = null; } }; I have everything else setup including binding, on start and so on. But I get error in above code: 04-03 19:06:10.285: E/AndroidRuntime(16837): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate service com.milanix.androidecg.services.ShimmerService: java.lang.InstantiationException: can't instantiate class com.milanix.androidecg.services.ShimmerService; no empty constructor How do I fix this problem? Where will i need to pass parameter? Following code works but, it rather uses service class as a class, rather than service: mShimmerService = new ShimmerService(this, mHandler);
