Remarks

Return the handle to a system-level service by class.

Currently available classes are: android.view.WindowManager, android.view.LayoutInflater, android.app.ActivityManager, android.os.PowerManager, android.app.AlarmManager, android.app.NotificationManager, android.app.KeyguardManager, android.location.LocationManager, android.app.SearchManager, android.os.Vibrator, android.net.ConnectivityManager, android.net.wifi.WifiManager, android.media.AudioManager, android.media.MediaRouter, android.telephony.TelephonyManager, android.telephony.SubscriptionManager, android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager, android.app.UiModeManager, android.app.DownloadManager, android.os.BatteryManager, android.app.job.JobScheduler, android.app.usage.NetworkStatsManager, android.content.pm.verify.domain.DomainVerificationManager, android.view.displayhash.DisplayHashManager.

Note: System services obtained via this API may be closely associated with the Context in which they are obtained from. In general, do not share the service objects between various different contexts (Activities, Applications, Services, Providers, etc.)

Note: Instant apps, for which PackageManager#isInstantApp() returns true, don't have access to the following system services: #DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE, #FINGERPRINT_SERVICE, #KEYGUARD_SERVICE, #SHORTCUT_SERVICE, #USB_SERVICE, #WALLPAPER_SERVICE, #WIFI_P2P_SERVICE, #WIFI_SERVICE, #WIFI_AWARE_SERVICE. For these services this method will return null. Generally, if you are running as an instant app you should always check whether the result of this method is null.

Return the handle to a system-level service by name. The class of the returned object varies by the requested name. Currently available names are:

<dl> <dt> #WINDOW_SERVICE ("window") <dd> The top-level window manager in which you can place custom windows. The returned object is a android.view.WindowManager.

Note: System services obtained via this API may be closely associated with the Context in which they are obtained from. In general, do not share the service objects between various different contexts (Activities, Applications, Services, Providers, etc.)

Note: Instant apps, for which PackageManager#isInstantApp() returns true, don't have access to the following system services: #DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE, #FINGERPRINT_SERVICE, #KEYGUARD_SERVICE, #SHORTCUT_SERVICE, #USB_SERVICE, #WALLPAPER_SERVICE, #WIFI_P2P_SERVICE, #WIFI_SERVICE, #WIFI_AWARE_SERVICE. For these services this method will return null. Generally, if you are running as an instant app you should always check whether the result of this method is null.

Note: When implementing this method, keep in mind that new services can be added on newer Android releases, so if you're looking for just the explicit names mentioned above, make sure to return null when you don't recognize the name &mdash; if you throw a RuntimeException exception instead, your app might break on new Android releases.
