How to run LocationUpdatesForegroundService sample without any buttons

[Anuj]

Please explain clearly because i tried running this sample without any buttons i am getting null pointer exception on the MainActivity's mService.requestLocationUpdates().

Simply take the code inside the RequestLocationUpdates on click listener, paste in a void function and simply call that function in OnServiceConnected. The service immediately starts on launching the main activity.

void requestlocationupdate()
    {
        if (!checkPermissions()) {
            requestPermissions();
        } else {
            mService.requestLocationUpdates();
        }

    }
@Override
        public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
            MeterService.LocalBinder binder = (MeterService.LocalBinder) service;
            mService = binder.getService();
            mBound = true;
            requestlocationupdate();
        }
