Manually Ending The Intentservice Worker Thread

I am having some trouble manually ending the IntentService onHandleIntent method. I am catching an exception which is crucial to the execution of the rest of the thread and I want

Solution 1:

As sonykuba said, finishing the onHandleIntent method stops the Service. So you could do something like this:

publicvoid onHandleIntent {
  try {
   // ... your code here
  } catch(YourException e) {
    // do something with the exceptionreturn; // this prevents the rest of the method from execution // and thereby stops the service
  }
  // rest of your code
}

Solution 2:

IntentService stops automaticlly after finishing OnHandleIntent. There is no need to do it manually.
