SmartService

In my application I do not want to listen for weather changes in an activity but in a service.
You have the SmartService class, but that class does not implement the smartWeatherChange event.
How can I achieve what I want? I guess that is using the LocalEvent manager, but I do not know which event should I register to

  Hi Gonzalo

  That's a great question. We can provide the ability to respond to these signals (activity, weather, location) in Android services in the future. For now, this is the code you need:

  public void onCreate(){
  super.onCreate();
  addResource(new ObservablePropertyListener(R.id.op_SmartWeather_CurLoc_Weather,
  "SmartActivity - smart weather OP listener ") {
  @Override
  public void onChange(int propertyId, Object value) {
  if (value != null) {
  _smartWeatherChange((WeatherEntry) value);
  }
  }
  });
  }

  And then you have to implement the _smartWeatherChange(WeatherEntry value){} method in your SmartService subclass.

  So you're just using an ObservableProperty called R.id.op_SmartWeather_CurLoc_Weather to get this data into your service (this is what SmartActivity does under the covers).

  Thanks
