<steps>
<step>
<cmd>In the Package Explorer, right-click the project to which the service should be added and select
<menucascade><uicontrol>New</uicontrol><uicontrol>Android Service</uicontrol></menucascade>.</cmd>
</step>
<step>
<cmd>Specify a name for your new Service subclass in <uicontrol>Name</uicontrol>.</cmd>
</step>
<step>
<cmd>By default the new service will not have a label of its own; the application's label will be used when
necessary. If you want a specific label for this service, clear the <uicontrol>Default</uicontrol> option
(next to the <uicontrol>Label</uicontrol> field) and then enter your preferred user-readable label.</cmd>
</step>
<step>
<cmd>If this service uses device capabilities for which the user must grant permission, specify them in the
<uicontrol>Permission</uicontrol> area. These permissions will be added to the appropriate place in your
application's manifest file. To specify a permission, click <uicontrol>Add</uicontrol>, select the needed
permission, and click <uicontrol>OK</uicontrol>.</cmd>
</step>
<step>
<cmd>The New Android Service wizard will create the service with an empty onBind() method. If you will be
implementing onCreate() and/or onStart(), select the appropriate options to include empty versions of those
method as well.</cmd>
</step>
<step>
<cmd>Click <uicontrol>Finish</uicontrol>.</cmd>
</step>
</steps>
<result>The service is created and added to the selected project. It is also opened in an editor view.</result>
