What layer should i call my service in an MVP architecture? In the view? presenter? or model?

Oh wait <@US7DACDEH>, i should pass my context to the presenter? Passing the context to my presenter will break the mvp logic right? Sorry this man is a bit confused :exploding_head:

You’re right that it’s not a great idea - you want to keep the Presenter as dumb as possible

If your service requires a context, then you should initialise your service in your view (with the context), and then pass it into your presenter.

Extra points if you use Dependency Injection to solve this problem

So what i did is this
```interface IHomeView {
    fun onServiceStart()
    fun onServiceStop()
}```
```class HomePresenterImpl(internal var iHomeView: IHomeView):
    IHomePresenter {
    override fun serviceStart() {
        iHomeView.onServiceStart()
    }```
and in my activity
```override fun onServiceStart() {
        ForegroundHeartbeatService.startService(context!!, Constants.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MESSAGE)
    }```

Oh, you’re talking about an Android `Service`, ha, sorry I thought you were referring to an Api Service of some kind

By the way, I would probably call this `startService()` rather than `onServiceStart()`. `onServiceStart()` implies the service was started and this is a callback. `startService()` sounds more like an action.

Thanks a lot! <@US7DACDEH> appreciate the help! B-)
